I keep meaning to update here daily, but  life happens, and before I know it, a week or more has gone by. LOTS going on lately

keeping me incredibly busy. In the last 4 weeks I rode my bike over 3000 miles to the 75th annual Sturgis Motorcycle rally and hung out

for 7 days. I will post photos from the trip and amazing landmarks like Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse soon. Followed that up with a quick trip to Dallas for our annual Ride For Dime charity event down there, as always had a great time seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Spent 3 beautiful days at “the compound” as Darrell and Rita affectionately call it. More details on that weekend and photos to come this week as well as i try to catch up and stay current.

Lots of behind the scenes work going on as we get closer to the 4th annual Nashville Ride For Dime featuring SLAUGHTER this year. It too will have a separate update with ALL the details about our show this year , which is our biggest show to date. We have moved up to a 1600 seat venue – Marathon Music Works in downtown nashville.

Things have been jumping at Chad Lee Photography studio also with some amazing shoots in the past few weeks that have included legendary

Pantera bassist and friend Rex Brown. Rex and I had an epic 2 day shoot that included getting him neck deep in the Harpeth River, and 2 days in the studio photographing all kinds of things that I can share with you soon ! Had a great shoot with the high priestess of modern rock and roll Lzzy Hale of Halestorm for a few upcoming projects that include Marshall amps, and much like Rex, other things i can share soon. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, and always fun to hang with. We followed the shoot with a great dinner with NIck Bowcott and Halestorm guitarist Joe Hottinger.

Yesterday I spent a few hours in the studio with the guys in BEYONDUPLICATION from Bowling Green Kentucky. An AMAZING group of guys and they bring the METAL !! Super nice and humble guys, with an amazing drive and work effort, putting everything they have into this band. Recently wrapped up recording a new cd here in nashville and prepping to unleash it on the world. We had an AMAZING shoot taht included lighting drums on fire, which always makes for a good day !

here are some samples from the above mentioned shoots – stay tuned for more !
