Chris van der Walt is the bassist for Metal band Vulvodynia. He started out as a roadie for bands like Not My Dog and Jack Hammer, and later joined metal band RhütZ, touring nationwide in South Africa. Chris learnt invaluable lessons from his time with RhütZ about touring, writing and recording. He achieved an Honours Degree in Film Sound Design, and a Degree in Jazz. Chris then took all his combined knowledge and pushed forward into new musical directions including The Black Cat Bones, Boargazm and Vulvodynia. Chris has worked with many other great SA bands/ artists including Albert Frost, Scicoustic, Valiant Swart, Jack Hammer, Blood Brothers, Gerald Clark, Jonathan Peyper and Mel Botes.


Felipe Gomez is an award-winning musician, adventurer and public speaker. He decided to take the” touring musician “or “troubadour” concept to a whole new level, cycling across Canada with his 6-string bass and amp, performing his music in festivals, schools, houses, barns or pretty much any venue that the road offered him. The Bike and Bass Tour is a trans-global adventure involving a bicycle, a bass, and the desire to inspire people, specially students to explore the outdoors, and embrace the incredible diversity of cultures, landscapes, art, and wildlife that Canada has to offer. The goal of the Bike and Bass Tour is to inspire others to find confidence in themselves to help them realize their own potential, and to encourage them to contribute to their own communities.
