On the Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour, singer/songwriter Mariam Massaro and composer/producer Robert Sherwood collaborate with Craig Harris and special guests to produce a unique live musical experience where pure inspiration is interwoven with dynamic and unusually sensitive musical expression. The show features completely original songs created in the moment from Mariam’s inspirations, often from dreams and feelings based on current life experiences here and throughout the world as well as from the beauty of nature, blended with intergalactic channelings from her Twin Flame lover Ashento. Starting in January 2012 The Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour has attracted over 450,000 listeners from all corners of the globe. As The Gaea Star Band enters their fourth year they’re excited with the release of their latest album “Who We Are” on Applehead/Sony Films and Records. “Who We Are” is a unique collection of tracks pulled from the last couple of years of shows that reflect an upbeat, original spirit with a global medicine rock flavor.

Mariam’s Musical Inspiration This Week

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #651 is an hour of inspired, dynamic, visionary acoustic improvised music from The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, acoustic guitar, shruti box, Tibetan bowl, Celtic harp, nylon string guitar, mandolin and ukulele, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drum and congas. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts during the Winter Solstice week of 2025, today’s show begins with the beautiful, peaceful “Celebrating The Light Returning”, a stately folk ballad with a reverent, powerful lyric from Mariam. “Oh The Wind” is a sprightly, energized reel featuring detailed piano, fiery congas, tight, rhythmic ukulele and a timeless melody from Mariam and “When We Sit In The Stillness” is a hushed, shaded raga underpinned by droning shruti box and fundamental Native drum.supporting a fine vocal punctuated with solemn, powerful Native flute passages. Alternating lushly modern and jazz sections are defined by untethered, exploratory piano from Bob. Mariam’s ringing Tibetan bowl takes center stage with its rich Eb drone for the hallucinogenic “Rays Of Light”, a powerful, radically re-imagined song by Mariam. “Becoming Ancient Ones” is a catchy, melodic folk song led by Mariam on her nylon string guitar and featuring a fine vocal and “Oh To The Pines” is a light, energized, mandolin-driven gospel folk song with a fine, wide-ranging vocal and lightly shuffling congas. Mariam strums her acoustic guitar dreamily for the midnight tale “Temanjia”, a magical mini-opera built on a thrumming Native drum pulse with a deeply evocative, narrative vocal from Mariam and we finish today’s hour with Mariam’s peaceful lullaby “Night Is Near”, featuring another fine vocal from Mariam and tight, incisive backing from the ensemble.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #650 is an hour of dynamic, inspired, visionary acoustic improvised music played by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, Celtic harp, double flute, acoustic guitar, mandolin and 4- and 8-string ukulele, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drum and congas. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in mid-December of 2025, today’s show begins with the meditative, impressionistic “Living In The Bliss”, a tone poem with soaring Native flute and fundamental, earthy accompaniment before we move into the upbeat, joyful, spacious “Rising”, a fine folk air with a gorgeous vocal from Mariam above an effervescent accompaniment of galloping congas, chiming ukulele and rich, burnished piano chords that unhurriedly explores and inspires. “To The Crystalline Temples Of Light” is a deeply emotional, mystical air driven along by Mariam’s chiming, eldritch mandolin, overtone-soaked double flute and Bob’s romantic, Prokofiev-like circular minor figure that lingers after the music ends. “Gather Together” is a prayer of peace and unity from the “Gaea Star Crystal” album that the ensemble portrays as a staid, formal opera aria with tight acoustic guitar work, imaginative piano and a foundational conga groove. “Jophy” is a character to whom Mariam has turned to during several episodes, a monkey who finds a purple flower in a “Jabarandi” tree and the ensemble illustrate the tale in yet another Prokofiev homage, this time to the narrative, onomatopoetic embodiment of characters through music.

Mariam channels spiritual messages and songs from her twin flame, Ashento, an ascended master and is currently co-writing The Teachings of Ashento with him. The following is a message from Ashento. “As a messenger of spirit, be the hands, the voice, the touch, the example of love to shine, to reflect the deep abiding love that flows eternally from one’s spirit into life, to heal and spread love even more. To enlarge the capacity for revealing love at all times is to walk the path of the peaceful messenger.” She wrote and is currently filming the Gaea Star Crystal screenplay with Ashento’s celestial guidance. Her first CD, released in 2009, “Gaea Star Crystal -Awakening The Tribes Of Light ” is a uplifting collection of songs for the movie soundtrack. Her second CD, “Gaea Star Goddesses”, recorded in her own studio, was released on 11/11/11. It is a beautiful celebration of the Divine Feminine with her original songs about the magnificent Goddesses of Gaea Star that have touched her life in all her worldly travels. Mariam has spent the last year creating and directing the colorful, live musical Gaea Star Goddess show that brings these songs to life while evoking the beauty and wisdom of the Goddess.
