Sponsor: My Thanks to Isaiah Dominguez

Isaiah Dominguez

My thanks to Isaiah Dominguez for sponsoring the website this week.

The songs have a breezy singer-songwriter feel that goes along perfect with an end of summer day.

You can also find Isaiah Dominguez on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and own website.
