I Hear America Singing Continues This Summer on KWBU
Although the final new episode of I Hear America Singing aired on May 31, 2026, the music—and Ross Burns’ voice—will continue through August 30th on KWBU.
In the weeks ahead, we’ll be sharing I Hear America Singing Classics: thoughtfully selected programs from across the years of the series. Each episode brings its own theme and perspective, highlighting the songs, songwriters, and stories that have defined the program.
There will a few surprises along the way with specials that Ross has more time to work on now that the time commitment of the weekly programs has lifted.
We’re grateful to Ross for the passion, knowledge, and care he’s brought to I Hear America Singing, and for the many hours of music he’s shared with listeners throughout the Waco area and the Heart of Texas.
For years Ross has helped our community hear America singing—and we’re grateful for every song.
