I Hear America Singing

Some say it was the Kingston Trio who brought Folk Music out of the nightclubs and the halls of academia and into cars and living rooms all over the United States. Join us for a new program putting a spotlight on Folk Music. Ross Burns hosts this program sharing with you a wide range of performers and songs from his personal collection of Folk Music...putting the music into perspective of its time and in todays society. Saturdays at 7pm and Sundays at 9pm tune in and learn about the many directions Folk Music has taken on I Hear America Singing.
