Music by TRICUS “HHH” Here’s wishing a hearty “Happy Halloween” to our spookalicious readers! Hard to believe this is our FIFTH issue…and what a riotous ride it’s been! It seems like just yesterday that we were launching our June Inaugural edition. On behalf of myself and the dedicated staff of ION INDIE MAGAZINE, we can’t thank YOU enough for making us the fastest growing online Independent music magazine today! And speaking of our staff--we are delighted to announce some new additions to the ION family. We are welcoming Journalist MARK URICHECK to our team, as he shares his insightful interview with CHAMELEON. Additionally, the talented Photojournalist TIMOTHY SCHUMANN joins our team and dazzles us with his concert photography coverage…all in this issue! Our Featured Artist for October is Blues dynamo LOIS GRECO! I was privileged to get “up close and personal” with this multi-faceted artist and am proud to bring Lois’s compelling story to the readers of ION INDIE MAGAZINE. Read all about this award-winning musician, vocalist, actress and SURVIVOR, as we shine our spotlight on artist Lois Greco. We are proud to present an exciting bonus article written by ION Journalist YVONNE DAY. She spent some “quality” time with guitarist extraordinaire BECKY BARKSDALE, former guitarist for none other than MICHAEL JACKSON! Read Yvonne’s fascinating interview with this legendary musician in this October edition. As always, we remain committed to providing our readers with compelling and timely articles on independent artists, music-related topics and electrifying photography, served in a fully interactive format. We are pleased that our readers are finding the value in our coverage and are embracing our efforts. So in keeping with the Halloween “spirit”, pull up a coffin and settle in and enjoy the October Issue of ION INDIE MAGAZINE! Kiki Plesha CEO/Editor-in-Chief The Fairy Rock Mother ION Indie Magazine
