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 #501 is an hour of compelling, visionary acoustic improvisational music brought to you by the Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flutes, dulcimer, acoustic 6- and 12-string guitars and Celtic harp, Bob Sherwood on piano and percussion and Craig Harris on Native drums and congas. Joining us today is flautist and percussionist Jafar Erguenes who provides beautiful flute passages and percussion work throughout today’s episode. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in mid-September 2022, today’s show begins with the gorgeous, slowly-unfolding “Flower Of Life”, a stately, lyrical ballad featuring a soulful vocal from Mariam over a lush, unhurried backing. “Manifestation” features the first of several flute duets between Mariam and Jafar and features Mariam on her chiming Celtic harp as Craig provides a deep and driving Native drum pulse. “To The Places In Need” is a mystical raga, a bittersweet farewell to summer, underpinned by fine percussion work from Craig and Bob and sparse, rich open-tuned 12-string from Mariam and “Just Wispy Pillows In The Boundless Beauty” is a simple, pretty folk song with a fine vocal from Mariam and flowing flute work from Jafar. “All Aboard” is based around Mariam’s driving dulcimer and is a fine, British Isles-favored reel with driving drums from Craig and lush, modal piano from Bob. Next up is an energized take of Mariam’s “I’m The Full Moon” from the Gaea Star Goddesses album featuring fine acoustic guitar from Mariam and piano from Bob on this classic Goddess rock song and we finish the show today with the richly mystical and hallucinogenic raga “Salinah”, a journey built around Mariam’s beautiful sitar drones and percolation percussion.
Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #300 recorded live at Singing Bridge Performing Arts Lodge in Cummington, Massachusetts on March 4 2018, we bring you the 300th episode of the Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour featuring the Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, native flute, acoustic guitar, ukulele, dulcimer and percussion, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on congas and drums. Today’s very special broadcast begins with Mariam’s “Oh The Rain”, a somber, mystical piece driven by Mariam’s chiming acoustic guitar and a driving conga track from Craig. “Pele”, “Pachamama” and “Your Eyes Shine” are inspired takes of songs by Mariam from her “Gaea Star Goddesses” and “Smooth Sailin’ Love Songs” albums. We conclude this special anniversary hour with the epic, multi-themed “Turning Point Of Love” which features lush, floating native flute from Mariam and imaginative, expectation-dashing piano scenarios from Bob.
