Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour with Mariam Massaro
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 #664 is an hour of visionary acoustic improvised music played live by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, double flute, ukulele, 12-string acoustic guitar, dulcimer,Celtic harp and shruti box, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on congas and Native drum. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts at the end of March 2026, today’s show begins with the meditative raga “Let’s Be Love” featuring Mariam’s rich Martin 12-string before moving into another mystical, drifting 12-string drone piece called “Circle Of Light”, featuring Craig’s heartbeat Native drum and imaginative decoration from Bob on piano. “Take The Time To Bring In The Beauty” is a pretty, gently driving minor folk ballad led by Mariam’s chiming ukulele and opaque, poetic lyric and “”Just Around The Bend” is an elegant, unusual, jazzy ballad with imaginative, unusual piano figurations from Bob supporting Mariam’s powerful vocal and Native flute duet. “All Life Unfolds” is a Gaea Star Band favorite by Mariam, a dancing, energized raga built on Mariam’s vintage-sounding dulcimer and featuring rock-steady Native drum, imaginative, wide-ranging piano and an evocative, deeply-felt vocal from Mariam. “Star Ray” is a deeply mysterious, rich, 60s-ish psychedelic-jazz workout with imaginative contributions from the whole ensemble and we close today’s show with a band favorite, Mariam’s “Into The Mystery” from her “For The Children” LP, played with an appealingly florid operatic style.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #663 is an hour of inspired, intrepid, visionary acoustic improvised music by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, 4- and 8-string ukulele, acoustic guitar, Celtic harp, dulcimer and mandolin, Bob Sherwood on piano and dulcimer and Craig Harris on congas and Native drum. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts at the very end of March 2026, today’s show begins with the powerful, affecting immigrant song “Standing Strong In Front Of The World”, a deep, inspiring prayer that features a soaring Native flute and voice dialog from Mariam and rich, imaginative piano from Bob. Mariam’s chiming, evocative 8-string ukulele forms a rich framework for “Oh, The Queen Moon”, a starry, mesmerizing reel with a beautiful vocal from Mariam over slowly unwinding minimalist piano polyrhythms. “Smile” is the band’s favorite raga, a forest rock song by Mariam from the “For The Children” LP driven powerfully by Craig’s throbbing Native drum and Mariam’s racing, ancient-soiunding dulcimer and “Rainbow In The Sky” is a fantastical fantasy lulled by Mariam’s soaring, melancholy vocal and chiming acoustic guitar. Mariam wields her forward, jangling mandolin for the mysterious, twisting, unusual “Bring In The Beauty”, a gorgeous ballad with a deep heartbeat from Craig and druidic dancing mandolin and piano. “Do The Impossible” appropriately features Bob’s debut on the dulcimer as Mariam builds a compelling chordal framework on the mandolin and delivers a tight modal melody. “Ryalia”, from the “Release” LP is given a tight, jazzy rendition with top notch work from the whole ensemble and we conclude today’s show with “How Do You Feel”, a gentle, bittersweet gospel ballad with skipping, childlike piano, a pretty, expressive melody and Mariam’s overtone-producing double flute framing an innovative, touching arrangement.

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.
