ION INDIE MAGAZINE October 2016, Volume 29 | Page 4

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR This issue spotlights a true friend to this publication--mega talented musician ANTHONY KRIZAN—who generously lent us his hit song “Dust and Bone” as the theme song for our independent music video show “Eye On Jamz”. Art Director and Journalist for ION Indie Magazine, JAY PETSKO, brings “all things Anthony” to the readers of this magazine. Look inside this October edition and discover why ION loves Anthony Krizan! Managing Editor and Senior Photojournalist JB BRIDGES and I traveled to Columbia, SC, to join in a most auspicious occasion—the appearance of two bands that have graced our cover—for a VERY worthy cause! Check out the report on ASHLEY WINELAND (December 2014) and SOUTHERN EXPERIENCE (April 2016), as they lent their time and talent to benefit the charity NO GREATER SACRIFICE! A big shout of gratitude goes out to ANITA SAYAGO of EDANA ENTERTAINMENT for being the catalyst for making this Editor’s dream come true—two of my favorite bands sharing the stage! Read about it inside this issue. EYE ON JAMZ radio is HERE! Our new radio program launched in September and is going strong and gaining listeners. Congratulations to DJ ION CHAOS, our host--who additionally serves as Columnist for “Chaos’s Corner” and as Assistant Editor for ION Indie Magazine. Also, I’d like to express a huge, heartfelt “Thank You!” to MICHAEL PRESTI of NEUE REGEL RADIO— who has provided a home base of operations for Eye On Jamz Radio; every Tuesday from 4-6 EST. Check out Eye On Jamz Radio in this October edition. We have more than a few recognizable names in this outrageous October issue…LYNYRD SKYNYRD, PETER FRAMPTON, ZZ TOP, ROB ZOMBIE, KORN and VINCE NEIL. We are pleased to have them! But we never lose sight of why ION Indie Magazine was founded and our focus—and that is to provide valuable media coverage for the independent artists that appear in our pages—besides providing an entertaining and informative interactive publication. This month we are spotlighting another business that supports indie artists--LADYLAKE MUSIC, headed up by Publicist CINDY D’ADAMO. Cindy and her trusted sidekick, JEN ANDUJAR, are shining beacons of light for their roster of incredibly talented indie artists. These ladies work hard to provide career advisement and promotional support for artists DAVID MARTINEZ, LORI DIAMOND & FRED ABATELLI, AMERICAN BEAUTIES, SHARON LIA BAND and VILLA AVENUE. Learn all about LadyLake Music and the exceptional artists they represent, inside this issue! Kiki Plesha CEO/Editor-in-Chief The Fairy Rock Mother ION Indie Magazine
