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 #582 is an hour of visionary acoustic musical improvisation featuring the versatile, multi-talented Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, acoustic guitar, Native flute, ukulele and percussion, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drums and congas. Today’s show was recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in mid-July of 2024 and begins with the sedate, peaceful “Oh Mother Earth, We Love You”, built around Mariam’s ukulele and sinuous vocal and a Gershwinesque piano accompaniment from Bob. “Oh, The Moon And The Stars” begins as a bittersweet folk ballad, spacious and mournful, a prayer to nature in each of Mariam’s elegant couplets and culminates with a gorgeous, languid conversation between Mariam’s vocal and her Native flute. Stepping into a languid blues mode with the shuffling “Oh, The Rain” the band drifts into a Beatlesque groove as Mariam weaves 21st century melodies into the psychedelic brew. “We Are Here Now, Inside Our Body Temple” is an unusual, haunting air with an airy, gossamer vocal from Mariam and “Bless Your Journey” spins an unusual, retro jazz R&B groove from a sparse Native flute and drum intro that culminates in a powerful series of gospel choruses. The band gives Mariam’s “Isis” and “Sail To The Realms” a brisk, airy runthrough with a fine vocal and solid rhythm from all as we finish this week’s installment with the rich, gorgeous, burnished majesty of “Just Abandon All Longings”.
Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #581 is an hour of improvised visionary acoustic music featuring the Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, acoustic 6- and 12-string guitars, ukulele, dulcimer, shruti box and mandolin, Bob Sherwood on piano and tambourine, Craig Harris on Native drum and congas and today’s very special guest from Turkey, singer and Oud player Loudingirra Ozdemir. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in July 2024, today’s show begins with the peaceful, reverent “Open The Way”, a spacious piece featuring Loudingirra’s Oud and Mariam’s Native flute and vocals in beautiful conversation. “Oya Mama Hey” is a dancing, folky tune featuring Mariam on vocals and mandolin with fine contributions from the ensemble, following which we conduct a fascinating interview with Loudingirra. Next we feature his music with support from the Gaea Star Band, beginning with the powerful, deeply spiritual “Hayat Misin Olummnusin” which translates as “Are You Life Or Death?” “Tum Diherde Gunahkar” is next, which translates as “I Am Placeless” and is a breathless, galloping, impassioned piece with Bob joining Craig on percussion and featuring a peerless vocal from Loudingirra. “There’s A Fine Line” is a gorgeous raga underpinned by Mariam’s rich, sitar-like 12-string drone and beautiful Oud accompaniment and we conclude today’s compelling show with the mysterious, expanding “Sun Is Calling”, a compelling minor piece eased into Eastern spaces with Loudingirra’s modal instrumental work.
