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 #690 is an intrepid, assured hour of visionary acoustic improvised music and songs by Mariam Massaro played by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam on vocals, Native flute, Celtic harp, acoustic guitar, shruti box, mandolin and ukulele, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drum. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in mid-October of 2026, today’s show begins with the kinetic, racing forest song “Oh Life”, a sparse, funky rocker with the band in Native drum-dulcimer-piano formation and featuring passionate, energized Native flute solos from Mariam. Clocking in at an epic 15 minutes of varied movements and cul de sacs, “Oh Life” sets a powerful tone for today’s show. “Profound Moment To Be The One To Lead Your Way” is another funky, syncopated workout with a pulsating, electronically-assisted piano, wide-ranging vocal explorations from Mariam and throbbing earth drumming from Craig. “Squirrels In The Trees In The Morning” is a hushed exploration of an autumn morning featuring more imaginative Native flute passages and lush piano movements and “Oh, Let It Take You Home” is a pretty, moving acoustic-guitar based folk song with a relaxed vibe and a lovely, emotional vocal from Mariam. “Becoming Peaceful” is a gorgeous, spacious Native-flute-and-piano feature with soaring flute and bittersweet, gospel piano accompaniment that blooms into a comforting, embracing lyric from Mariam that celebrates the table of crystals from Amarite to Malacite. Mariam provides the mystical shruti box drone upon which the band creates “Seeking Deeply Within”, a beautiful, exotic raga that expands and floats through all manner of mysterious harmonic alleyways. “Waves Of Light” is another evocative raga-flavored song, this time built around Mariam’s chiming mandolin and we conclude today’s show with a driving, high-energy blues inflected reading of Mariam’s Incan cave song “Amaru Machay” from the “Gaea Star Goddesses” album.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #689 is an autumnal celebration of visionary improvised acoustic music by he Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, shruti box, nylon-string guitar, marimba, ukulele and Celtic harp, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drum. Recorded live in early October at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts, today’s show begins with the lovely, peaceful “Maples In The Fall”, a gorgeous Fall reflection with a fine vocal from Mariam, mellow nylon-string guitar, evocative piano and throbbing Native drum. “Alignment and Harmony In All Areas Of Our Life” is an unusual, exotic-sounding piece led by Mariam’s tight, rhythmic marimba and “Precious Life” is a powerful, gospel-inflected exploration brought in on waves of soaring Native flute. “Family Of The Stars” is a gorgeously formal song with classical and gospel influences with swirling Celtic harp and Native flute passages. “Spirit Of Fire” is an outstanding track from Mariam’s “Vision Quest” album and the band presents a lush, mystical, powerful version and follows up with another “Vision Quest” track, “Spirit Of The Forest” with a version that shows off Mariam’s powerful, active melody. “Thank You (Celebrating The 41st Anniversary Of The Peace Pagoda)” closes today’s show with a lovely, reverent tribute to Leverett, Massachusetts’ renowned Buddhist temple with rich Native flute, beautiful minor piano explorations, throbbing Native drum and another lyrical, peaceful vocal from Mariam.

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.
