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 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 #327 is an hour of visionary acoustic improv music taped live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts on a sunny autumn day and features the Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, native flute, celtic harp, acoustic guitar and ukulele, Bob Sherwood on piano and tabla and Craig Harris on congas and native drums.  Today we feature special guest Sondra Lewis on vocals and percussion, beginning with the stately, meditative “It’s Been That Kind Of Day” based on a simple, hypnotic piano motif and featuring lovely vocals from Mariam and Sondra.  Swirling and mystical, “Sailing By” is a lush, evocative and politically-directed piece with an inspiring lyric from Mariam and fine percussion work from Sondra and Craig.  “Let’s All Gather In This New Season” is a pretty folk song led by Mariam’s joyful vocal and chiming ukulele that grows into a lovely operatic motif and “They Keep Trying” is a stately, spacious gospel song with a pointed, lovely lyric from Mariam punctuated by her lyrical native flute and lush, languid vocals from Sondra.  Today’s final piece is “In The Quiet Of The Evening”, a raga led by Mariam on sitar with hypnotic percussion from Craig and Bob on tabla and more spacious vocal work from Sondra.

Friday 11am/11pmET

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #326 was recorded live at Singing Bridge Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in September of 2018 and features visionary acoustic improv from the Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, native flute, celtic harp, percussion, ukulele, 12-string acoustic guitar and dulcimer, Bob Sherwood on piano and tabla and Craig Harris on congas and native drums.  We begin with the mystical, evocative “Ariana Shiasta”, a woodland tone poem featuring gorgeous native flute from Mariam and driven by Craig’s earthy, heartbeat native drumming.  Drawing from folk music and led by Mariam’s chiming 12-string Martin guitar, “I Hear The Rain” is a deeply affecting, bittersweet song about the cleansing, blessing rain and “Have You Listened To The Trees Today?” is a lush, gospel-tinged song of deep energy driven by prayerful piano and Mariam’s tenor ukulele, evoking peaceful nature.  Mariam strums her dulcimer to provide the backbone for the mystical, psychedelic, droning “So Many Changes”, an eastern-influenced drone piece with powerful tandem drumming from Craig and Bob.  Many movements and twists define this epic, varied piece of inspired improvisation which runs to an expansive 25 minutes!

Mariam Massaro 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. Her radiant elaborate crowns and flamboyant creative costumes add the sparkle of expressive expanding consciousness, sensuality and artistic beauty. Mariam released her third CD, “Smooth Sailin’ Love Songs” in October, including songs co-created with Ashento, Dameron Midgett, and Robert Sherwood. 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. The show is ”The Gaea Star Crystal Hour” on Dreamvisions 7 Radio Network, a syndicated Internet Radio Station.
