this was a page i set up for my festival. well that back fired cause a company i teamed up with stole over 6k in $ from the event and caused it to be shut down.

the festival is not dead. things and actions are being taken to make things right. and i am sorry to all the people who was looking forward to going. and was planned to go.

The company who stole the money is looking into 3 major felonys. so the rights to all the bands money will be replaced asap.

Independence festival was started as a small home town festival for the local scene to have a great time once year. people started liking from the start. so i did it again. and again. it became something people looked forward to each summer.

i was asked to take the festival to a national level and team up with a ent. company. came to find out they are con artist. they are con artist who have not done this to just me and the 50 bands on the bill. they have done this to many others. that i did not know about till later research.

lesson let learned. no matter who they are how big they are. do research on them and the company.
some times visual credentials dont cut it.

so again rock ohio productions
new world music coalition
is not going to let independence festival die. we just have to recoop whats lost. and replenish whats owed. by the ones who owe it.
