M.L. Procise Dies
M.L. Procise, 62, part owner of Clair and a veteran of Showco, died in his sleep March 4. A representative at Clair had no other details at press time and was unaware that Procise had any health issues.
Procise mixed more than 4,000 stadium and arena concerts over his career, serving clients like Bob Seger who relied on Procise since the early 80s.
Procise, who’d been in the business for 40 years, began at Showco before it was bought by Clair Bros.
“Before they bought us back in 2000, Clair would say that their only real competition in quality was Showco, and Showco would say their only real competition in quality was Clair,” Procise told Mobile Production Monthly.
“We still have the clients we started with back in the 1970s. We have a very loyal client roster. That’s because we have a make-it-happen attitude. No matter what it cost, no matter what hoops we have to jump through to solve the problem, we spare no effort and expense.”
