Showcase Honcho Shane Dubose: “It’s Just An Incredible Thing That I Was Able To Get These Bands. I’m Just Blessed To Have Everybody Involved”

This year Shane Dubose, often called “the nicest man in metal” (with Zero Hero’s Jasun Tipton and the incomparable Lance King running a very close second), wears more than one hat at ProgPower USA.
