Hey nice to see you back 😊 Austin heft in June to start a family and do more with his solo work. Adam Bastien ( Bass like the fish - teen ) took his place. Bastien was a substitute tenor when Home Free first started and he was also a member of Chris Rupp’s group 7th ave. When Bastien first joined he got thrown in the deep end his first concert was at a fair but his second concert was at The Grand Ol Opry there is a video Home Free made called Adam Bastien’s First Weekend. This is the second video he did his debut video was Something To Talk About Home Free just released Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.
Nice to see you again Sam. Well, we all miss Austin. It was his choice to leave and Adam Bastien (pronounced Bass-teen) joined and he sounds wonderful. They still have those great harmonies. They have 2 more songs out since this one. A new Christmas album is coming. Good one Sam! Still love them.
I know it’s a little early for Christmas music, but PLEASE react to Home Free’s latest release Hark the Herald Angels Sing. I don’t normally want to listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving, but the arrangement on it is just a little different and I really love it.
Great honest reaction lol! As Lynn mentioned, Bastien's first video with #HomeFree was (I think) "Something to Talk About". Also very good - you should react to it as well!
Adam Bastien started in the group this summer. He was actually in their group for a little while in early Home Free years and was also in Chris's group 7th Ave after Chris Rupp left Home Free. So they've known him well. He went on The Voice not too long ago before he started with Home Free and was on Kelly Clarkson's team. Austin is married now Home Free tours heavily and Austin has toured w/ them for over 10 years, not even having a home to go to because they were never at home often or for very long until 2020. He wants to not be on the road all of the time and do music from home and is focused on being with his wife and raising future children and having a family. Especially at Christmas, he wants to decorate a tree, put up Christmas lights and be home. Little things we take for granted. None of the guys have any hard feelings toward one another and Austin said he will do collaborations with them in the future, but just no touring.
You will also enjoy the first HF video featuring Bastien. It's the Bonnie Raitt hit...let's give them something to talk about. HF humor on full view. The guys know Bastien very well from before Austin was around. He has a long history of singing for the group. They seem very happy about the transition. And so do most of the fans.
Their first video with Bastein was Something To Talk About. Absolutely amazing and a must see. Really enjoyed your reaction and have missed seeing you. Somehow this didn't pop up until now.
I don't think you were the only one surprised when Bastien replaced Austin (who left the group in mid-June and is currently right on the verge of publishing his own first full album). Bastien is definitely a great singer and performer, and the group's blend hasn't been hurt. My Home Free Range Chart had to be changed, though, and I still don't have a definitive range for him yet...in November! There are now four "new group" videos on their channel, but that's it, so far. One is a Thanksgiving one, and another is a Christmas one. I'm sure there will be plenty more to come. Thanks for the fun reaction! 😀
Thanks for your reaction. Another beautiful song by Home Free. Nice that they featured Adam Bastien again on lead vocals for this country song. The background harmonies were great along with Adam's beatboxing. Also love the very touching video that went along with the song. Our lives are so busy these days but we need to connect with those we love in small special ways.
Yea, you've been absent from HF for a while! Life happens. Yes, the Adams will go by: Rupp, Chance, and Bastein. I got to meet Bastein in 2017. I was at the taping of the Route 66 video for 7th Ave(former Chris Rupp band). Also saw him perform with Chris Rupp at Chris' Shine CD release party in Mankato.(2016) Nice fella. Good vocal choice for HF. Austin has a few videos earlier this year where he and Amberly speak about the decision/changes.
Wow this must have been quite a shock. If you want more info on Austin leaving, he did a video on his channel. Yep, three Adams now. Right after Bastein was announced as the new member, Rob made a post that he should change his name to Adam. Lol
Bastien was in the group a long time ago ..Austin is leaving the crew to start a family and work on some solo projects..i will miss Austin but have to respect him for doing his thing and becoming a family man and a solo artist
It's good to see you, Sam! Home Free is releasing a new Christmas album this Friday, November 1st! It has a song Bastien wrote that is a real tear-jerker. Even Adam Rupp, on his Discord, said he had trouble recording it because he was crying.
Love the message of this video. Reminds me of the ads I saw as a kid "Family, isn't it about time? A message from The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints." Boy is that message needed more now than ever before.
Absolutely love these guys. Adam Bastien is a good fit for them. Definitely watch their cover of Something to Talk About which introduced him. It's fire.
Austin & his wife want to start a family, & he kind of has his own solo career now, so Austin made the decision to quit Home Free. He did say it was a hard decision, but it was best for him & his wife. 👍
Now you see why I was asking if you were going to a show while they were in the area. It was Bass teen (thats how you say his name)1st shows in Northern CA He nailed the Modesto show
Beautiful heartfelt song. Adam Bastein has a great voice and does a wonderful job.❤️❤️❤️❤️

So happy to see you back. You are one of my top 5 favorite reactors on TH-cam. God Bless you brother!
Bastien was in the group a long time ago ..Austin is leaving the crew to start a family and work on some solo projects..i will miss Austin but have to respect him for doing his thing and becoming a family man and a solo artist
Loved your reaction! The newest Adam is a great fit and #HomeFree sounds great as always!

So glad to see you doing Home Free again. I miss Austin but the new Adam sounds so gyand fits in so well .
Love the message of this video. Reminds me of the ads I saw as a kid "Family, isn't it about time? A message from The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints." Boy is that message needed more now than ever before.
❤ this! Thank you Bruddah Home Fry! ^_^

It’s been a minute since you’ve reacted to Home Free (5 months). Check out the first video with Bastien (Something To Talk About).
Yes! That's a good one, too. 😀
