ION INDIE MAGAZINE October 2015, Volume 17

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Music by LOIS GRECO “Ball and Chain” This month, we are pleased to be welcoming a new promotional partner to ION Indie Magazine—our friends at the SCORPION RADIO GROUP! And they have jumped right in--with ERIC LITTMAN, one of their talented radio personalities with the show EXTREME METAL WORX serving as the interviewer of SCREAMING FOR SILENCE inside this issue--with our Journalist JERE PERRY (aka JP RAWK) providing the introduction. Welcome to the ION family, Scorpion Radio Group! Our featured band for October is the Boston Rock band LEAVING EDEN. Our own DANIEL “THE DAGDA” JOHNSON spotlights this exceptional group—with Photojournalist MARK MYERS lending his creative “eye” to the photography. Check out LEAVING EDEN inside this issue! Thank you to MIKE and GRACE MOSALL of THE THUNDERHEAD SHOW on METAL DEVASTATION RADIO for having this fairy take part in some lively banter on their airwaves. I sure had a blast chatting with DJ THUNDERESS and brought some of the music that has appeared in ION...good times! Check them out at www.metaldevastatonradio.com. I was guest speaker at the BARBERTON GALLERY OF FINE ARTS in Ohio for the reception honoring multi-dimensional artist ANGIE HAZE—who graced ION’s August 2015 cover. Our columnist THOMAS R. JENNEY PH.D. (The Music Muse) is the Executive Director of the gallery—which was also marking the opening of the FELIX GUITAR SHOWROOM. Thank you to all of the fabulous folks there for being so warm and welcoming! Show the great folks at the BARBERTON GALLERY OF FINE ARTS some love at: www.facebook.com/BarbertonGallery. ION Indie Magazine is pleased to be making a huge announcement in this October 2015 edition. In conjunction with Television Network Executive RUSS MARKOWITZ and Producer/Writer DAVID S. ZUCKER—and with the production guidance of our Art Director JAY PETSKO--we will be launching our own half hour independent music video program to be broadcast on the new music entertainment channel, MY JAM TV. The music video program, JAM ON ION, will provide opportunity for significant exposure for the videos that appear in ION to millions of viewers in both the U.S. and the U.K. that tune in to this innovative music channel! You can read the in depth interview with Russ, conducted by our own JAY PETSKO in this issue! As always I am grateful to the dedicated team of professionals that—month after month—work tirelessly to produce ION Indie Magazine. What lies between these pages is a testament to each and every one of them! Kiki Plesha CEO/Editor-in-Chief The Fairy Rock Mother ION Indie Magazine
