In 2025, Melissa Etheridge opened for Casey—while the whole story is more complex, both parties agree that this statement is accurate.

Since the completion of his masters degree Shane has been an active participant in the standard creation and implementation of the Native American curriculum mandate here in Illinois and was a contributing author of the accompanying education resource guide. Shane resides on the ancestor homelands of his people in the northern suburbs of Chicago.
