Starting in January 2012 The Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour has attracted over 75,000 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 Theme This Week

Thursday 11am/11pmET

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #320 was recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington Massachusetts on a wet, warm August afternoon and features the Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, native flute, celtic harp and sitar, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on congas and native drums.  Today’s show begins with the laid-back, mystical groove of “Almightly Thunderstorm Of Life”, a shifting, evocative piece that features an elegiac, impassioned lyric from Mariam as well as her lyrical native flute over Bob’s powerful piano motif.  “Oh The River Of Love” shifts from a languid, gospel-influenced introduction to a latin-jazz flavored vamp as Bob takes the lead with a series of Brazilian motifs that return continually to a powerful, simple refrain.  “May We Ripen Brightly” is a gorgeous love song built around Mariam’s impassioned, visionary lyric and melody.  Led by Mariam’s acoustic guitar, the piece wafts delicately, gradually gathering intensity, driven by a powerful, sensual lyric.  The last half of the show is taken up by the epic, raga-influenced “May We Reach Out To The Depths Of Our Soul’s Longing”.  Underpinned by Mariam’s floating sitar, the piece moves through movements with both Eastern and Western tonal approaches as Bob tugs and teases harmonic possibilities in the sitar’s steady drone with unfolding piano variations.

Friday 11am/11pmET

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #319 was recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts and features the Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, native flute, acoustic guitar and ukulele, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on congas and native drums.  Special guest today is Sondra Lewis on vocals and percussion.  Today’s first piece is a flute-driven native meditation called “Hearts In The Sun” and features a fine lyric from Mariam and lush support from Sondra.  “Children Of The Stars” and “Golden Girls” are live takes of Mariam’s songs from her “Songs For The Children!” cd.  “Over And Over Again” is a meditative, mystical piece with an ancient, earthy tone and features fine native flute from Mariam and casually virtuosic piano from Bob.  “Greetings From The Forest” is a pretty, hypnotic ode to the summer forest built around a compelling, simple piano figure and “Voices Of Dissent” is a bluesy, ragtime-flavored prayer in honor of activism and “Three Little Sisters” is a whimsical folk tale driven by Mariam’s ukulele.  Today’s final number is “Ayana Oh Way” is a stately, powerful ballad laced with lush, lyrical native flute from Mariam.

BIO: Mariam Massaro is a dynamic visionary singer/songwriter and ceremonial medicine healer, who passionately expresses messages of love and inspiration, through her unique evocative, rock style music and flamboyant theatrical performances. Her powerful songs encourage humanity to nurture Mother Earth (Gaea Star), to be happy and to discover your own power and radiant light within. 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.

She is the lead vocalist and bandleader of the GaeaStar Goddess band. She invites audiences of all ages, male or female, to embody their own God or Goddess within by dressing up and participating in the songs.

She plays many different instruments and sings all her own harmonies. The music is an upbeat, intense weaving of rock, tribal rhythms and inspirations from nature. Mariam also co-hosts a weekly live radio show with her original music with Robert Sherwood and Dameron Midgett, using a diverse selection of instruments including harp, tamboura, piano, guitar, banjo, fiddle, dulcimer and the sounds of nature from her own back yard.
