Music News: The Jack Daniel’s Future Legends Indiefest 2016: Bigger,Better, Bolder.


I just love it when a respected and established brand gets involved with the local music scene and it doesn't get any more respected and established than Jack Daniel's.

When we started the blog back in 2012, we didn't really know what we would be blogging about. The first few weeks and months was just like making or way in the dark; but there was one thing that Paul and I were sure of and that was our love for music. So we started covering gigs, featuring local artists, doing EP and album reviews, and as they say the rest is history. So we are more than thrilled to be able to witness a big local music event such as Jack Daniel's Future Legends Indiefest. 

Solidarity is at the heart of Jack Daniel’s Future Legends Indiefest, and is one of the main reasons why this highly anticipated event is shaping up to be one of summer’s biggest music attractions this 2016. By producing a unique outdoor music event that will keep you hyped up for months to come, Jack Daniel’s continues to strengthen its independent spirit campaign through a music festival that champions local indie music talents of top-notch caliber.
Come and experience a fired up weekend as the Jack Daniel’s Future Legends Indiefest invades Circuit Makati on May 28, Saturday from 4pm onwards.
