EDITOR’S LETTER

Music by Gary West and Leona Williams
“Jackson”

I EMBRACE DIVERSITY!

I seek to surround myself in diversity – whether it be the
intriguing, inspiring people whose paths I’m fortunate to
cross or the music that I listen. And when it comes to music,
this wonderful world presents us a smorgasbord of sound
from which to choose! When I founded ION Indie Magazine
in 2014, my vision for this publication would include great
Kiki Plesha diversity in music – and this edition is a testament to that!
We have reports and live concert photography from artists
and bands from the genre of rock, country, Christian, punk,
R&B, pop, metal, and alternative. Mission accomplished!
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
In this March/April 2020 edition of ION Indie Magazine we
are shining a light on indie singer/songwriter Mindy Davey –
an artist with a message of positivity along with a
compelling backstory. Senior Photojournalist Lee Hoffman
captured the phenomenal photography and also
conducted the feature interview for this exciting issue of
ION!

We are welcoming a new photojournalist to the ION Indie
Magazine team, Lindsay Ann Snyder, who will be reporting
on the diverse Atlanta music scene. Lindsay hit the ground
running in this issue with her dynamic coverage of Winter
Jam 2020!

Finally, the music streaming with this Editor’s Letter is by
country music entertainer Gary West and the legendary
singer/songwriter Leona Williams. West and Williams
recently released the video and single for their own toe-
tapping rendition of the iconic Cash/Carter song
“Jackson.” Learn more about Gary West and get this music
