There’s a new one-of-a-kind light show in Simpsonville that not only gets us in the holiday spirit, it does one of our favorite things — celebrate Greenvillians.

Andrew + Stephen Oliver are known for their band Brother Oliver + the Guinness World Record they broke. Ryan White, Brother Oliver’s biggest fan, built a light show in his yard incorporating the band’s documentary film, “How to Break a World Record.”

The lights at this interactive show are synced with the band’s music + the audio track of the movie. You can also catch parts of the movie on a big screen... made of individual lights.

White said it took him hours to set up and there are ~10,000 pixel lights that he pushed in himself. The show is ~20 minutes long and you can catch it at 205 Carrick Dr., Simpsonville.
