Zsaris Mendioro at Jetsam Jam 2015 (February 7, 2015)

Zsaris Mendioro sounds a bit like Zia Quizon and Armi Millare (thus automatically gaining my interest), but she sets herself apart with songs that are catchy enough to induce head bobbing and LSS. I hope I get to hear more of her soon.

The Slinks at Jetsam Jam 2015 (February 7, 2015)

The morning we arrived in La Union, we kept seeing this tall, long-haired woman along the shore. She was really nice and wished us to enjoy surfing. 

Come that night, we were surprised to discover that she was one half of soulful musical duo The Slinks. They mostly sang original songs, but their cover of La Vie En Rose was both heartbreaking and beautiful.

Marcus Adoro at Jetsam Jam 2015 (February 7, 2015)

Marcus Adoro was obviously drunk when he went onstage, and it was awesome. After his first song, he stopped playing and requested the audience to stand up and dance with him. And the audience did. 

After the impromptu dance party, he sang a reggae version of Eraserheads' Huwag Mo Ng Itanong. It was very different from the original version, but also very Marcus.

Quest at Jetsam Jam 2015 (February 7, 2015)

Here's what happened: after a long day of surfing and exploring La Union with the Wanderrgirls, we were all very tired. Our exhaustion was such that we had no energy to stay up late to watch the rest of Flotsam and Jetsam's Jetsam Jam 2015, so we decided to call it a night and head to our cozy kubo dorm. 

But then we heard the next act playing, and he was really, really good. Because we failed to hear who he was, we tried to guess his identity. We couldn't figure out who he was. 

"My last song is a Tagalog song," said the singer. He then taught the mostly-foreigner audience how to sing the "ooh-ohh" part of his song. And then the song "Sige Lang" started playing. THE SINGER WAS QUEST!

So we got off our beds (very slowly, because our bodies were sore from all the surfing) and raced back out of our dorm. We only got to see him for his last song, but it was amazing. He was amazing. 

And that is how we eventually ended up staying up late to watch the rest of Jetsam Jam 2015.
