LBC Presents

Comedy, Country, Christmas with Oliver Graves & Pete Stringfellow

Saturday, December 18, 2021 at 8:00PM

$39

This will be a reserved seating, closed balcony show.

Country Music and Comedy Christmas Concert

Country artist Pete Stringfellow is a formerly trained musician and vocalist with songs that have been featured on radio around the country. He also has over 300 song placements in Hollywood movies and television that he’s written and produced. His special brand of country has many influences including rock, R&B, and hip-hop. Known in the area for his song “Santa Rosa”, Pete proudly promotes Sonoma County ever where he goes. During COVID, Pete and his band the Stringtones put on a virtual acoustic concert at the LBC that has over 20k views.

Oliver is known as a “goth comedian” for his stark contrasting attire and face make up. A persona that carries over off stage as interactions between him will only raise further questions rather than answering any. Oliver has even had his stand up featured on America’s Got Talent, where all 4 judges, even the commonly stubborn Simon Cowell said yes to him. While Oliver’s comedy does lend to the darker side, sometimes it’s simply dry, or just absurd.
