EDITOR’S LETTER

Music by Lois Greco
“Ball & Chain”

Happy Anniversary, ION!

This May/June 2021 edition of ION Indie Magazine marks our
7 year of publishing. When I first founded ION, I envisioned
th
a music magazine that not only provided media coverage

for independent music of all genres, but also, streams music

Kiki Plesha in an interactive flipbook format. However, I also pondered
how to utilize this publication to provide artists career
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF support by procuring them radio airplay. To this end, ION
partnered with numerous radio stations worldwide, who

receive the music that streams in our magazine for their
airplay consideration. Through this innovative program,
thousands of artists had their music placed in rotation on
radio stations around the globe! Mission accomplished!

Today, ION continues its commitment toward providing
compelling media coverage while supporting independent
artists. I am appreciative for our devoted readers, for
supporting this publication! Also, I’d like to give a huge shout
of gratitude to our incredible staff of journalists – today, and
through the years -- who have lent their time and talent to
ION Indie Magazine. Although we cover all genres…you
totally ROCK!

This edition of ION Indie Magazine shines a light on The
SoapGirls in an in-depth interview by Tim Board. Check it out
inside these pages! Also, the song playing during this Editor’s
Letter is “Ball & Chain” by Lois Greco, who graced the
October 2014 issue of ION. I was honored to conduct the
feature interview with Lois (from her hospital bed) where she
was so open and forthcoming about her struggle with
cancer. I recently learned that Lois lost her battle with this
dreaded disease. Lois was not only massively talented but
possessed a caring heart. She was pure joy! During her life’s
journey, she touched many lives, onstage and off. Lois will
be forever missed!
