6 reasons why you can’t miss Bobby and Brendan’s American adventure on kykNET
What happens when two beloved South African singers decide to explore America with no plan, no schedule, and no map? Ander Dam se Eende shows exactly what it looks like — unpredictable, authentic, humorous, and packed with music.
This 13-episode series follows Bobby van Jaarsveld and Brendan Peyper on a road trip across America in an RV: from the bustling streets of New York to the country rhythms of Nashville, the soulful blues of Memphis, and the untouched silence of the Grand Canyon. Every destination brings new people, new sounds, and new discoveries that deeply impact the two artists.
1. Bobby & Brendan take America by storm
The season follows two of South Africa’s favourite stars — Bobby van Jaarsveld and Brendan Peyper — as they road-trip across the USA, meeting South Africans, diving into new subcultures, and chasing adventure from coast to coast.
2. Every city has its own vibe
From the skyscrapers of New York, the small-town charm of Raleigh and Pittsboro, to the country rhythm of Nashville, the soulful grit of Memphis, the cowboy energy of Dallas–Fort Worth, the artsy buzz of Austin, and the sun-soaked glamour of Los Angeles — every stop has a unique tone, pace, and personality.
3. Music lovers will feel right at home
The guys explore the roots of American music — from country legends in Nashville, to blues and soul history in Memphis, to discovering local musicians and hidden gems across Austin’s indie scene. Expect jam sessions, studio moments, and backstage stories that hit you right in the feels.
4. Things definitely go wrong… and hilariously so
In Pigeon Forge, an unexpected setback derails their plans — but the chaos turns into comedy as they improvise, regroup, and keep the adventure rolling. Spoiler: what starts as a problem becomes one of the trip’s funniest memories.
5. The Grand Canyon episode is pure goosebumps
With vast landscapes, emotional reflections, and once-in-a-lifetime views, Episode 9 is a visual highlight of the series. Plus, it includes a real-life, “yep, even out here your banking should stay simple” moment that fits perfectly into the scenery.
6. The show proves Americans LOVE South Africans
Everywhere they go, from diners to dance halls, they meet people who can’t get enough of SA music, accents, and charm.
