Ink n Iron... tattoo and rockabilly festival that catered to hot rodders and greasers, wasn't doing good business. They couldn't hack it in Long Beach, moved to Nashville, and flopped hard. Didn't pay the musicians

Shockingly low attendance and complaints from non-VIP ticket holders who were treated like plebs, plus Merle Haggard canceling his performance last minute on night two after the festival declined to pay him.

Several contractors, including Adam Prohaska who owns Atlas Worldwide Transportation, say they were never paid and are out tens of thousands of dollars.

"I don't understand how they can do 13 years of a show in California, and claim that they have no money to pay because one show went bad for them," Prohaska told Nashville's News Channel 5 Network by phone from California.
