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 #673 is another hour of dynamic, visionary acoustic music and songs by Mariam Massaro brought to you by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, double flute, mandolin, harmonica, acoustic guitar, dulcimer and mandolin, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drum and congas. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in early June of 2026, today’s show begins with the casually virtuosic “I’m Walking”, a driving rocker with an Afro Cuban intensity and vibe, exciting, exploratory piano from Bob and a strong, powerful vocal from Mariam. “Gentle Is The Wind” is a mystical forest faerie song decorated with chiming dulcimer, driving congas and a soaring vocal and featuring a gorgeous, spacious flute exploration coda and “We Know How To Celebrate Life” is a pretty folk song driven by Mariam’s expressive acoustic guitar and lovely melody. “Open Wide” is a whispering minor ballad with Mariam’s expressive vocal leaning into another finely developed melody above chiming acoustic guitar, driving congas and imaginative piano. “Good Intentions” is an engaging song with a modern classical influence expressed in austere chord clusters and Mariam’s unusual, overtone-producing double flute. “Reborn” from Mariam’s “Gaea Star Crystal” LP is presented as an intense, driving folk rock song and “Mighty Are The Wings Of Light” features Mariam’s assertive, evocative mandolin creating an evocative atmosphere for the ensemble to play in. “Ride The Waves Of Transformation” is a jazzy ballad with tirelessly inventive piano and a gentle, sensuous vocal and we close today’s show with Mariam’s Primitive country blues song “Thistle In The Wind” with fine additions from the band supporting Mariam’s bluesy vocal.

This week on Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #672 the Gaea Star Band present another hour of visionary acoustic improv music featuring Mariam Massaro on vocals, Celtic harp, Native flute, ukulele, acoustic 6- and 12-string guitars, mandolin and shruti box, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on congas and Native drum. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts, today’s show begins with the mystical raga “Did You Hear The Song Inside Your Heart?”, a rich, floating piece built around Mariam’s enormous-toned Martin acoustic 12-string guitar tuned in DADGAD open tuning. “What A Way” is a crisp, dancing minor folk song featuring Mariam’s chiming ukulele, energized congas from Craig and nimble, racing piano from Bob supporting Mariam’s dramatic vocal and “The Easy Way” is a fantastical, deeply evocative ballad that achieves a beautiful balance between throbbing Native drum, crisp, ancient-sounding mandolin, minimalist, mysterious piano and Mariam’s beautifully controlled, narrative vocal. “Such Good Fortune” celebrates the year of the Fire Horse through a rich, staid raga built on Mariam’s hypnotizing shruti box drone and featuring soaring Native flute explorations and an appealingly solemn, reverent vocal from Mariam. The piece shifts dramatically into a long, soaring gospel coda punctuated with passionate Native flute excursions, powerful, circular piano and thrumming Native drum. “Celebrate Diversity” is a fantastically creative, upbeat song that explores several jazz, classical and Indigenous directions while always returning to a powerful main motif in support of Mariam’s powerful message. “Transform” is a fine, acoustic-guitar driven blues with a light, relaxed vocal and tight contributions from the ensemble and we conclude today’s show with “Make The Best”, another 12-string based raga with dramatic, granitic piano and Native drum supporting Mariam’s inspiring vocal.

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.
