Dave Raymond and Present Company

Formed in Little Rock AR around 2008, I (Dave Raymond) formed this band from friends in other local bands at the time. I called it Present Company for the habit all the Little Rockers had of joining each others bands and going from one group to another on a regular basis. You weren't sure who would be in the band on any given year. I am the lead guitar player for the Little Rock Alt- country rock band, Mulehead. I formed Present Company when Mulehead went on extended hiatus. I released Familiar Sting in 2009 under Max Recordings, a local label. This album features all original music that I wrote. I have been playing guitar for over 40 years and am heavily influenced by Blues, Country, Rock, Punk, Jazz, Soul, Afro-beat, Surf Rock and Rap.
