Anybody ever tell you that you and John Schreffler Jr. have matching beards? He's playing here in Avi Kaplans video "When I'm a Fool" live from Sunset Sound Studios. Check it out, it's a great video and the beard is impressive. th-cam.com/video/LE24UTH3pmQ/w-d-xo.html
You have just been introduced to the best a cappella group out there. These guys are all so talented. They lean towards country but they can do any genre. They all can take the lead depending on whos voice is best for the song. They are known for their tight harmonies. Tim Foust is one of the best bass singers out there & their beatboxer vocal percussionist Adam Rupp can simulate any sound. This song is very old & is done in the bluegrass country style. It was used in the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" starring George Clooney. Some of my favorites are "Take Me Home Country Roads", "In The Blood", "Ring Of Fire", "Blue Ain't Your Color", "How Great Thou Art", "Elvira", "Hillbilly Bone", "American Pie", "Brother In Arms", "One Man Band", "Listen To The Music", "Sea Shanty Medley" etc.
Dagmar S. is right about Adam Rupp! Check out his "drum" solo. Also check out his castanets on their Sea Shanty Medley (which will have you bobbing your head and tapping your foot), and his "dj" on The Butts Remix. No, that isn't a typo--it's the Butts remix (I never knew there were so many songs celebrating the human butt before).
@@janhankins911 "I never knew there were so many songs celebrating the human butt before" Honestly, they missed at least two I can think of off the top of my head - "Tush" by ZZ Top and "Her Strut" by Bob Seger.
Welcome to the magical world of Home Free! They lean country, but excel at many genres. They are down to earth, have a great sense of humor, and are so very talented! Great reaction!🍟. Home Free fans call ourselves Home Fries! Welcome aboard!
They do covers, but they also do original songs so it's certainly not just a cover band. Also, they do medley's, mash ups of several songs which are cool as hell. Home free fans are called Home Fries and we love our band, for exactly the excellence you're hearing now.
Subscribed for more Home Free 🤘🤠🤘 Home Free is the best acapella band out there. They are the masters of harmony. Put out Home Free videos and the Home Fries 🏠🍟 will show up. Great reaction ❤️
They have incredible covers of "Brothers in Arms", "When a Man Loves a Woman", "Helplessly Hoping", and many more, plus a growing list of original songs.
Welcome to the magical world of Home Free - you're in for a treat. Home Free is a wonderful rabbit-hole to head down. I'm sure you're going to have a blast.
It's such a pleasure to watch reactors discover Home Free for the first time! Home Free is amazing and always surprise us with every song they do. From country, blue grass, RnB, classic rock, boy bands, their own originals, you name it they excel in every way. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole it's a wonderful place to be. Their covers always treat the originals with respect while adding their unique Home Free tweak to them, their originals are pure heaven. They not only win your ear they win your heart. Thank you for a great reaction, subbed and looking forward to your adventure down the rabbit hole. We Home Fries will be waiting for you.
Home Free is the real deal. If you love harmonies, this is your group. They are amazingly talented. They won the NBC show the Sing Off in 2013. Adam, the beatboxer, was doing drums, harmonica, and other sounds with his mouth. He is award winning. Chance, also in the back, was doing the mouth harp. Tim, the bass, has a 5 octave range so he can go super low and then sing up with the tenors. Rob (glasses) has a beautiful voice and Austin, the lead here, is the high tenor and yes, he can yodel. They are country but sing all genres and also write and sing their own songs. Try Take Me Home Country Roads, What We Ain’t Got, In the Blood, Castle on the Hill, How Great Thou Art. There are so many good songs. Also they don’t mind being goofballs. Serious or silly their music never suffers. Good reaction!
Ahoh! Welcome to Home Free! TH-cam singer and reactor, Katrinka had this to say about the bass singer Tim Foust. "Why are deep voices so . . .ahem . . . hot?" Actually Katrinka weaves a bit of a . . . ahem . . . mesmeric spell of her own! Tim's voice causes - what are referred to as - 'Timgasms'. He also has a knack of stressing speaker systems.
Homefree has a number of collaborations that are awesome to watch. They did Elvira with the Oakridge Boys and performed with Kenny Rogers. They also did American Pie with Don McClean.
Loved your reaction, happy you've been introduced to Home Free! I do believe you will enjoy most all of their offerings! I see many have already been suggested! One more suggestion!!! "Ain't goin down till the Sun comes up"!!!!
@@pattomei70 Makes me wonder if it might have gotten blocked on TH-cam or gotten them a strike (or the label or Garth said f no) since anything Garth related is heavily protected.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. Enjoy the slide. You will soon learn that , although called Country, they touch every type of music with a sledgehammer presentation of velvet perfection! Be prepared for tears of laughter, to tears of sadness, with all the warmth, love, chills, goosebumps, and throat lumps you can imagine.
Just subbed for more HF - Keep em coming! You won't be disappointed! There are no instruments unless they are prominently displayed in the video. If you don't see them, they don't exist. They're labeled "Country" but they do anything and everything well.... Welcome to the rabbit hole!
You have just scratched the surface. These guys are the best! And they also do their own music. You won't believe what Adam (the beatboxer) can do. They are all very talented alone, but together they are amazing. I hope you continue to do more 🙂
They are the "Kings of Harmony"! That was a quick little yodel that Austin pulled off in that one run. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. The Home Free fan base are called "Home Fries" and we are a very enthusiastic group!
I came here to use the word yodel to describe the break in Austin's voice, but you beat me to it. This is one of the little touches they use to pay homage to the original style of country singing when the song was written.
I love your reaction. The Home Free boys are definitely talented. You might like their version of Moonshine. It was done during quarantine and they had to record separately and put it together remotely!
I'm so happy you got to Home Free! I think you'll really enjoy their catalog and their sense of humor - I think you'll also really appreciate that aspect of them! Austin does like to Yodel on occasion, and it always elevates whatever he is singing!
Yes, the jaw harp sound is made by Chance. He is the last singer shown near the end of the video. He's actually doing (well acting) some kind of harmonic overtone technique in that little 1 second shot. They looped it through the whole song because it is hard on the throat. Chance (Adam Chance) is the baritone and sometimes bass and sometimes tenor. Baritones are usually a good fit for overtone singing. The other Adam, Adam Rupp, does drum kit sounds and no-monica sound. As you might guess, he can do a lot of sounds. Edit Added: Chance is the baritone from about 7/2016 and on. Chris Rupp (looks like brother Adam) is baritone before that back to at least 2013.
I you love harmonies, you will love Home Free - they are known for them. Welcome to the rabbit hole. How Great Thou Art, Helplessly Hoping, Go Rest High (the church sessions) are three good ones to start with in terms of harmonies.
You have to check out some of their colabs, like with Lee Greenwood for God Bless the USA, or Don McLean with American Pie...they also do a lot of covers, and have original songs. They are amazing...you can't go wrong with any of their picks, and their harmonies are tight. They won the show "The Sing off" in 2013. 2016 the co-founder left and was now you have the current lineup you see here. I am sure someone else will give you their names...but basically you have Tim Foust, bass, Rob Lundquist, tenor, Austin Brown, high tenor, Adam Chance (goes by Chance), baritone/bass and Adam Rupp, vocal percussion extrodinare. Austin and Tim have their own channels and solo projects (some together), and others have their own things they work on.
Loved your reaction! I could feel your excitement! In my opinion these guys are the best a cappella group out there. They literally can sing ANYTHING! Any genre, any song! And if you like tight harmonies you are in the right place. They were born to sing together! They are all super talented guys and make something hard look like it’s easy! Can’t wait to hear your next reaction to them! I’m a new sub and here for your reactions to Home Free!
Great reaction. You touched on one of the reasons so many like this band, Their ability to cover all genres but flavor it with their style. Based on your music preferences be sure to look at My Church, Children go where I send you with Kenny Rodgers, and Seven Bridges Road. They covered Thank God I’m a Country Boy and let Austin yodel. Have fun!
Loved your reaction. I hope you like genres of music also because Home Free does all kinds, country pop, r&b etc. And they do them all expertly. They are the best A Capella group out there. Their beat boxer is extraordinaire. No instruments at all, everything you hear is from them.
@@TheEclecticBeard Great, then you are going to love going down this rabbit hole that is Home Free. We fans call ourselves "Home Fries" and we are very loyal to these wonderful humble guys. I went to see them live a few months ago, they are as good live as they are on video. They have about 200 music videos on TH-cam, so you will have a lot to choose from. You can't go wrong with any of their songs. To get an idea of some of what they can do, I would try one of their originals "Catch me if you can" and their Doobie brothers cover "Let the music play" They have also done collaborations with the late great Kenny Rodgers "Children go where I send thee" and with Don Maclain "American pie" I will stop there because the list of fabulous songs is huge :-)
Thanks for the intro to these guys and your excitement about the musicality of it. That beat boxer is damn good and the singers, wow! Not surprised this got you all flustered and goosepimply!
Yaaaay, you found Home Free! They are AMAZING. You'll most likely love a lot of their stuff, but I can definitely recommend their cover of Johnny Cash's 'Folsom Prison Blues' - their brilliant beatboxer, Adam Rupp, recreates a steam train and even a rifle cocking and firing with just his voice in that one. Bassist Tim Foust also goes way down in the basement - and of course tenors Austin Brown (younger, skinnier guy) and Rob Lundquist (bearded guy) kill it with their vocals too. Oh, and it was their baritone guy at the back in the hat (Adam Chance - known as 'Chance' because two Adams, and he was the second one to join) who was doing the Jewish Harp noises throughout.
It took months for me to believe that he played harmonica without a harmonica. I freaking love these guys. Adam also does the harmonica in their version of Folsom Prison Blues, a great video. At first listening to that was jarring, because they changed it a bit, but after the first time I loved it. Edit - I just subscribed to your channel, because you had the same reaction as I did a year ago. I can't believe I missed hearing them years ago
They sing every type of music.... perfectly every time. If you love harmonies, check out their FIVE part harmony of Brothers In Arms or How Great Thou Art. No beatboxing, but the beat boxer, Adam Rupp sings. Whatever you do though, do NOT listen to Mayday, until you know the guys and their vocal ranges.... maybe take in five or six other songs first.
No harmonica, no mouth harp, just 5 incredibly talented men who produce amazing music. They have a big back catalogue and a great new album out. Please react to some more!
Welcome to HF rabbit hole. There a really good acapella groups out the but these guys are something else. In the middle is Austin Brown a cristal clear high tenor. Rob Lundquist - beard and glasses is their soulful lead tenor. Adam Rupp, who founded the group with his brother Chris while still in school more that 20 years ago, called "human drumkit" or "freak of nature" is an astonishing beatboxer, here playing the "nomonik ca". Adam Chance, who replaced Chris Rupp a couple of years ago, goes by Chance is the baritone, but cover base whenever their base takes the lead. Tim Foust is the base, a genuine "basso profundo", deepest of bases, who rattles chairs and ribcages during their concerts and occasionally takes out the sound system when he hits really low 😊. They are country oriented but cover other styles too ans whoever suits the song best is taking the lead which makes them incredibly versatile. You can't pick a bad song with them even if you tried.
Born and raised in Appalachia, can confirm the lead singer did a sort of slight yodel that you were talking about. Very common among our local bluegrass singers that sing in the older style. Song is a work of art, took a already great song and did their own thing but in a way that made it better for the average audience that may not have taken to the old style of Ralph Stanley who made it popular. Song was originally published by a blind fiddler in Kentucky in 1913, isnt it amazing that its still a well recognized song 110 years later? Blows my mind everytime I think about it.
Two things. 1. Adam Rupp does a "drum solo" that is epic. Recommended 2. The other big a Capella group is "Pentatonix". They are a bit more "rockish" where home free is more country. Home Free fans are "Home fries". Pentatonix fans are "Pentaholics". I happen to be both...
To add, I've been to a Home Free concert and paid for VIP so I could meet the band. Tim (long brown hair bass) said to us he can go as low as the human voice can discern. Think about that! And you mentioned Josh Turner, they have versions of "Your Man" and he has broken the sound system before. Please react to it, you will LOVE it and get to see some of their humor too.
Thank the Lord someone convinced you to give this a try.... Home Free are *top-tier* !! They have a long list of amazing arrangements & performances. I'll let the full-on Home Fries fill your comments up with suggestions. Just be warned, when you get around to their cover of Dire Straits' "Brothers in Arms" it may be prudent to have a box of tissues to hand. The original is striking itself, but what these boys do with it is *haunting* - probably the most moving vocals-only piece I've ever heard. I am that stereotypical stoney-faced stoic Scotsman, so considering it brings a tear to *my* eye.... well, you've been warned. ;) I hope you weren't besmirching the good name of the mighty Billy Strings there btw o_O The live capture of him & the boys doing the #PanteraBluegrass thing with "Turmoil & Tinfoil" is one of my favourite things on the web. ;)
@@TheEclecticBeard I had already typed that out before I heard you sum-up at the end! That "Turmoil & Tinfoil" live capture truly is one of my favourite musical things on the web tho. An absolute *gem* :)
I have over 300 reactions to the Home Free cover of Man of Constant Sorrow in a YT playlist. Your reaction stands out as one of the few that address the "blue grassiness" of their cover, and well done on your part. As I say whenever I get the chance, their cover of this song is what they will be known for in 50 years. Which in not to put down any of their other output. This one is just great.
Hi! Amazing aren't they? Let me welcome you to the Home Free rabbit hole 🕳. These guys are the only Country A Capella group, but they also do all genres of music. First off your reaction was priceless, loved it. Everything you hear that sounds like an instrument is 100% vocal, if you do not see one it's vocal sometimes in a couple songs they use guitar. Second let me give some suggestions Country Roads Take Me Home, Hillbilly Bone, Yours, Down To The Honky-tonk. That should be good to start with, they have over 200 songs. Buckle up and enjoy this incredible ride
That deep voice is Tim Faust , the man has a 5 octave vocal range , he is amazing , the other 4 gentlemen are Austin Brown , Adam Rupp, Rob Lundquist, Adam Chance
You must hear what they do to DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR. That one still includes the beatboxer's brother (founding members). I listen to it any time of the year, six times at a go, because there is so much going on. Oh and please please create a HF playlist immediately. Great great reaction here.
Subscribed for more Home Free 🏡 That sound you heard was what we'd like to call a "NoMonica." If you'd like to see more of that check out there, "Working for a living", And the brand new release which is an original called "So Long Dixie
If you want a chuckle watch “Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget” and “The Butts Remix”. For more of the nonexistent harmonica, watch “Working for a Living”. For a serious song that will give you goosebumps, watch “Brothers in Arms”. HF doesn’t just cover songs, they improve them.
The song was written in the early 1900's and has been covered loads of times since (by Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, etc.). This is my favourite rendition of it though. Fall on down the Home Free rabbit hole - it's a long fall but a great trip with everything from covers to originals (both the bass & the man singing lead on this are songwriters), gospel to goofy and everything in between.
Enjoy your trip down the Home Free rabbit hole! They're one of the best a cappella groups in the world and their fans (the Home Fries) are a cool community to be part of. Great reaction! Looking forward to seeing you do more! Peace! :)
Hi EB, love these guys, Tim Faust ( the guy with the voice from the bottom of a mine) does a brilliant rendition of Misty Mountains from the Hobbit with Peter Hollens worth checking out, oh and thank you ,thank you ,thank you for introducing me to Ren, I've spent the last two days going through his stuff, Fking amazin artist!!
Homefree really is a rabbit hole. The Butts Remix is a great overview of various genres, a Mashup with the smoothest yransitions imaginable. The remake of Proud to be an American with Lee Greenwood, American Pie with Don McLean and so many more. But to appreciate Tim's Range (bass singer). Check out "My Maria " with Austin and the band. Amazing.
I tried like crazy not to add anymore reactors to my sub list but i kept seeing you reacting to my favorite group Home Free. As much as i love watching reactions to them i get sick of all the fake reactors who are only reacting to HF becuz they heard about all the subs that come from home fries. I clean out my subs that stop reacting to Home Free every 6 months. So i finally decided to give you a shot and i am so glad i did. You seem very genuine and truly appreciate what our guys can do. So i will sub and go along with you while you dive into this wonderful rabbit hole.
Subbed for more Home Free!! They’re the BEST a cappella group out there, in my opinion. Everything you said and felt is what I felt when I first heard this. So many different goodies to explore with them. Don’t hesitate. Thanks for reacting to them!!!
Loved your reaction! If you really want to see how talented they are and how diverse they are, react to Mayday. They sound completely different it’s mind boggling. Also ring of fire, American pie with the original artist.
So if you like harmonies, you will love Home Free. They are known for their tight harmonies as well as tremendous talent and their humor. They are the full package!
You mentioned Josh Turner in your comments. You should check out one of their concert performances of "Your Man". The guys have a little fun with Tim's vocal range. (Tim Foust is the bass singer for Home Free) If you like the "break" in Austin Brown's voice, you should check out their cover of "All About The Bass". He's practically yodeling.
I Found this rabbit hole during lock down and haven't gone a day without them since. Such a talented group of guys. I will second any and all songs that are suggested because I haven't heard a bad one yet. Enjoy
Bob Dylan covered it on his first albulm, as also he covered an old song, composer unknown, about a brothel; " the House of the Risin g Sun ". Great Channel Pal
The 🇬🇧 group The Animals covered this song in the 1960 and for many it's the ultimate version of The House Of The Rising Sun. Check out The Animals. Cheers
Welcome to the HOME FREE rabbit hole, us fans call ourselves home fries. Kepp doing some home free ,and you get more subscribers, they have a hugh you tube following
They’re off the scale amazing! The more you listen to them the more you realise just how talented they are. The high tenor, Austin, has an amazing voice… but the bass singer, forget his name momentarily….has a range that is huge. I mean huge!!
Welcome to the most enjoyable rabbit hole out there. 5 perfect voices in perfect harmony. And the best vocal percussionist on the planet. They do lots of different genres. This is one of their most country songs.
Love this song. Had to pause during this reaction (sorry) to go and download some of their stuff to my TH-cam music lists, can't wait to listen to more
New sub! Home Free is just the best! That was Adam Rupp - beatboxer/percussionist extraordinaire playing his infamous "nomonica". I think you'll really like their version of "Take Me Home Country Roads". It's one of my favorite covers of theirs. Btw, fans of Home Free are called home fries ------> 🍟Thanks - really enjoyed this.
Home Free is the best brother. They lean country but it's not all they sing.....they do also a lot of covers but a lot of originals too. If you like harmonies, you'll LOVE Home Free. A suggestion....their cover of American Pie with Don McLean....they all get to sing solo and you get to hear all their voices. Also their cover of Trace Adkins "I can't outrun you" is just about their very best. These guys are so talented, their baritone/bass Chance actually directed it as well. They have an outstanding list of videos.....Brother in Arms is amazing a cover of the Dire Straits classic
Wait until you hear Austin yodeling in All About That Base or Rob singing Opera. Or the pure country of Hillbilly Bone. There's over 400 songs to choose from, classic oldies, 80s, you name it, they do it. Glad you are keen to try more. Everything they do is clean, fun and usually better than the original. Try their team ups, God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood, Elvira with The Oak Ridge Boys and American Pie the 50th anniversary with Don himself. Have fun! And welcome!
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! You have a lot of fun coming down the pike if you check out more of their music. Home Free is the first and only all acapella country band, but they do some other genres as well. Every sound you heard in this song is made by a human mouth; they've explained in live concerts that they'll sometimes use a looper so that some members can do multiple effects at the same time (example -- the beatboxer (Adam Rupp) also doing the harmonica (aka no-monica) sound effect), but it's all 100% their voices. Check out more of their music and you won't be sorry! PS -- Courtesy FYI, that ball cap you're wearing must have a green bill on the underside of it because your green screen was coming through it. :)
Home Free = 5 Tenors, 5 Altos, 5 Beat Boxers, 3 Basses, and 5 incredible guys. Just Wow! As I am getting ready to see them in like 4 weeks the anticipation is PALPABLE!
There is a LONG playlist of Home Free for you to watch! Also, for another a cappella super group, try Voiceplay. Check out their latest video of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters".
LMAO....GET ready for a 4th playlist for just Home Free! Home Free has 14 albums and over 140 videos that cover every genera! Home Free is always point on with their harmony and vocals! WELCOME to the rabbit hole! I've never heard a bad song ( cover or original ) from this group! peace

Chance (Adam Chance) is the baritone and sometimes bass and sometimes tenor. Baritones are usually a good fit for overtone singing.
The other Adam, Adam Rupp, does drum kit sounds and no-monica sound. As you might guess, he can do a lot of sounds.
Edit Added: Chance is the baritone from about 7/2016 and on. Chris Rupp (looks like brother Adam) is baritone before that back to at least 2013.
They started Home Free in 2000.Chris & Adam Rupp & Matt Atwood.
I you love harmonies, you will love Home Free - they are known for them. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
How Great Thou Art, Helplessly Hoping, Go Rest High (the church sessions) are three good ones to start with in terms of harmonies.
You have to check out some of their colabs, like with Lee Greenwood for God Bless the USA, or Don McLean with American Pie...they also do a lot of covers, and have original songs. They are amazing...you can't go wrong with any of their picks, and their harmonies are tight. They won the show "The Sing off" in 2013. 2016 the co-founder left and was now you have the current lineup you see here. I am sure someone else will give you their names...but basically you have Tim Foust, bass, Rob Lundquist, tenor, Austin Brown, high tenor, Adam Chance (goes by Chance), baritone/bass and Adam Rupp, vocal percussion extrodinare. Austin and Tim have their own channels and solo projects (some together), and others have their own things they work on.
Great reaction man if you do more Home Free you will not just follow but you'll see there true ranges. You haven't seen nothing yet.
Voices, the world's first musical instruments. The backwoods have come to life in this music.
They excel at every genre! Love watching you discover them.
Home Free did a cover of Josh Turner 'Your Man' with Tim as the lead, you should listen to that one 😀 xx
Agree! Also Tim Foust & Chris Rupp did "Long Black Train".
Loved your reaction! I could feel your excitement! In my opinion these guys are the best a cappella group out there. They literally can sing ANYTHING! Any genre, any song! And if you like tight harmonies you are in the right place. They were born to sing together! They are all super talented guys and make something hard look like it’s easy! Can’t wait to hear your next reaction to them! I’m a new sub and here for your reactions to Home Free!
Great reaction. You touched on one of the reasons so many like this band, Their ability to cover all genres but flavor it with their style. Based on your music preferences be sure to look at My Church, Children go where I send you with Kenny Rodgers, and Seven Bridges Road. They covered Thank God I’m a Country Boy and let Austin yodel. Have fun!
Just the tip of the iceberg! These guys are amazing! They are great at country, but are fantastic in other genres as well..
Loved your reaction. I hope you like genres of music also because Home Free does all kinds, country pop, r&b etc. And they do them all expertly. They are the best A Capella group out there. Their beat boxer is extraordinaire. No instruments at all, everything you hear is from them.
Named my channel The Eclectic Beard because I have a beard and an eclectic taste in music (started as a music reaction channel)
@@TheEclecticBeard Great, then you are going to love going down this rabbit hole that is Home Free. We fans call ourselves "Home Fries" and we are very loyal to these wonderful humble guys. I went to see them live a few months ago, they are as good live as they are on video. They have about 200 music videos on TH-cam, so you will have a lot to choose from. You can't go wrong with any of their songs. To get an idea of some of what they can do, I would try one of their originals "Catch me if you can" and their Doobie brothers cover "Let the music play" They have also done collaborations with the late great Kenny Rodgers "Children go where I send thee" and with Don Maclain "American pie" I will stop there because the list of fabulous songs is huge :-)
Masters of harmonies - You'd probably really appreciate their version of American Pie WITH Don Maclean for the song's 50th Anniversary.
ETS21 and Hey Look Squirrel have reacted to Home Free, and I love their music.
It’s 🔥.
Thanks for the intro to these guys and your excitement about the musicality of it.
That beat boxer is damn good and the singers, wow! Not surprised this got you all flustered and goosepimply!
Welcome aboard the Home Free wagon. If harmonies are your thing, their version of Helplessly Hoping is perfection.
welcome to the rabbit hole. These guys are just amazing. pick anything they do and it's 🔥
Yaaaay, you found Home Free! They are AMAZING. You'll most likely love a lot of their stuff, but I can definitely recommend their cover of Johnny Cash's 'Folsom Prison Blues' - their brilliant beatboxer, Adam Rupp, recreates a steam train and even a rifle cocking and firing with just his voice in that one. Bassist Tim Foust also goes way down in the basement - and of course tenors Austin Brown (younger, skinnier guy) and Rob Lundquist (bearded guy) kill it with their vocals too. Oh, and it was their baritone guy at the back in the hat (Adam Chance - known as 'Chance' because two Adams, and he was the second one to join) who was doing the Jewish Harp noises throughout.
It took months for me to believe that he played harmonica without a harmonica. I freaking love these guys. Adam also does the harmonica in their version of Folsom Prison Blues, a great video. At first listening to that was jarring, because they changed it a bit, but after the first time I loved it. Edit - I just subscribed to your channel, because you had the same reaction as I did a year ago. I can't believe I missed hearing them years ago
They sing every type of music.... perfectly every time. If you love harmonies, check out their FIVE part harmony of Brothers In Arms or How Great Thou Art. No beatboxing, but the beat boxer, Adam Rupp sings. Whatever you do though, do NOT listen to Mayday, until you know the guys and their vocal ranges.... maybe take in five or six other songs first.
Great reaction guy, my recommendation of a great HF video and song “ Helplessly Hoping” by CSN. It’s pure harmony will give you more goosebumps.💕💕🎶🎶🦋
This was also my first Home Free experience I have been hooked ever since
Just subbed for more Home Free! You can't pick a bad song to check out... looking forward to your journey down this rabbit hole!
No harmonica, no mouth harp, just 5 incredibly talented men who produce amazing music. They have a big back catalogue and a great new album out. Please react to some more!
It's so fun to watch someone discover Home Free! Thanks for a great reaction. Subbed for more.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! Everything you hear is done with their mouths only. They are so very awesome! Love your reaction!
I love that movie too! And Home Free does a great job of covering it. 👵🏼❤️☮️
Welcome to HF rabbit hole. There a really good acapella groups out the but these guys are something else. In the middle is Austin Brown a cristal clear high tenor. Rob Lundquist - beard and glasses is their soulful lead tenor. Adam Rupp, who founded the group with his brother Chris while still in school more that 20 years ago, called "human drumkit" or "freak of nature" is an astonishing beatboxer, here playing the "nomonik
ca". Adam Chance, who replaced Chris Rupp a couple of years ago, goes by Chance is the baritone, but cover base whenever their base takes the lead. Tim Foust is the base, a genuine "basso profundo", deepest of bases, who rattles chairs and ribcages during their concerts and occasionally takes out the sound system when he hits really low 😊. They are country oriented but cover other styles too ans whoever suits the song best is taking the lead which makes them incredibly versatile. You can't pick a bad song with them even if you tried.
Born and raised in Appalachia, can confirm the lead singer did a sort of slight yodel that you were talking about. Very common among our local bluegrass singers that sing in the older style. Song is a work of art, took a already great song and did their own thing but in a way that made it better for the average audience that may not have taken to the old style of Ralph Stanley who made it popular. Song was originally published by a blind fiddler in Kentucky in 1913, isnt it amazing that its still a well recognized song 110 years later? Blows my mind everytime I think about it.
Two things.
1. Adam Rupp does a "drum solo" that is epic. Recommended
2. The other big a Capella group is "Pentatonix". They are a bit more "rockish" where home free is more country.
Home Free fans are "Home fries". Pentatonix fans are "Pentaholics". I happen to be both...
To add, I've been to a Home Free concert and paid for VIP so I could meet the band. Tim (long brown hair bass) said to us he can go as low as the human voice can discern. Think about that! And you mentioned Josh Turner, they have versions of "Your Man" and he has broken the sound system before. Please react to it, you will LOVE it and get to see some of their humor too.
Thank the Lord someone convinced you to give this a try.... Home Free are *top-tier* !! They have a long list of amazing arrangements & performances. I'll let the full-on Home Fries fill your comments up with suggestions. Just be warned, when you get around to their cover of Dire Straits' "Brothers in Arms" it may be prudent to have a box of tissues to hand. The original is striking itself, but what these boys do with it is *haunting* - probably the most moving vocals-only piece I've ever heard. I am that stereotypical stoney-faced stoic Scotsman, so considering it brings a tear to *my* eye.... well, you've been warned. ;)
I hope you weren't besmirching the good name of the mighty Billy Strings there btw o_O The live capture of him & the boys doing the #PanteraBluegrass thing with "Turmoil & Tinfoil" is one of my favourite things on the web. ;)
Nope, love Billy Strings music. Would never besmirch him.
@@TheEclecticBeard I had already typed that out before I heard you sum-up at the end! That "Turmoil & Tinfoil" live capture truly is one of my favourite musical things on the web tho. An absolute *gem* :)
I have over 300 reactions to the Home Free cover of Man of Constant Sorrow in a YT playlist. Your reaction stands out as one of the few that address the "blue grassiness" of their cover, and well done on your part. As I say whenever I get the chance, their cover of this song is what they will be known for in 50 years. Which in not to put down any of their other output. This one is just great.
That song is something else
Hi! Amazing aren't they? Let me welcome you to the Home Free rabbit hole 🕳. These guys are the only Country A Capella group, but they also do all genres of music. First off your reaction was priceless, loved it. Everything you hear that sounds like an instrument is 100% vocal, if you do not see one it's vocal sometimes in a couple songs they use guitar. Second let me give some suggestions Country Roads Take Me Home, Hillbilly Bone, Yours, Down To The Honky-tonk. That should be good to start with, they have over 200 songs. Buckle up and enjoy this incredible ride
Already recorded a reaction to their Sea Shanty video as well. Thanks for the suggestions as I'll definitely look at them
@@TheEclecticBeard great song
That deep voice is Tim Faust , the man has a 5 octave vocal range , he is amazing , the other 4 gentlemen are Austin Brown , Adam Rupp, Rob Lundquist, Adam Chance
You must hear what they do to DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR. That one still includes the beatboxer's brother (founding members). I listen to it any time of the year, six times at a go, because there is so much going on. Oh and please please create a HF playlist immediately. Great great reaction here.
Subscribed for more Home Free 🏡 That sound you heard was what we'd like to call a "NoMonica." If you'd like to see more of that check out there, "Working for a living", And the brand new release which is an original called "So Long Dixie
watched this film a few times on dvd this is one of the films i can watch for years its wicked
Great song!! Great group!!Great reaction!!
Ring of Fire. A great take on Johnny Cash’s classic hit. Elvira is soooo good. Great collaboration with the Oak Ridge Boys.
If you want a chuckle watch “Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget” and “The Butts Remix”. For more of the nonexistent harmonica, watch “Working for a Living”. For a serious song that will give you goosebumps, watch “Brothers in Arms”. HF doesn’t just cover songs, they improve them.
The song was written in the early 1900's and has been covered loads of times since (by Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, etc.). This is my favourite rendition of it though. Fall on down the Home Free rabbit hole - it's a long fall but a great trip with everything from covers to originals (both the bass & the man singing lead on this are songwriters), gospel to goofy and everything in between.
Enjoy your trip down the Home Free rabbit hole! They're one of the best a cappella groups in the world and their fans (the Home Fries) are a cool community to be part of. Great reaction! Looking forward to seeing you do more! Peace! :)
Hi EB, love these guys, Tim Faust ( the guy with the voice from the bottom of a mine) does a brilliant rendition of Misty Mountains from the Hobbit with Peter Hollens worth checking out, oh and thank you ,thank you ,thank you for introducing me to Ren, I've spent the last two days going through his stuff, Fking amazin artist!!
Homefree really is a rabbit hole. The Butts Remix is a great overview of various genres, a Mashup with the smoothest yransitions imaginable. The remake of Proud to be an American with Lee Greenwood, American Pie with Don McLean and so many more. But to appreciate Tim's Range (bass singer). Check out "My Maria " with Austin and the band. Amazing.
I tried like crazy not to add anymore reactors to my sub list but i kept seeing you reacting to my favorite group Home Free. As much as i love watching reactions to them i get sick of all the fake reactors who are only reacting to HF becuz they heard about all the subs that come from home fries. I clean out my subs that stop reacting to Home Free every 6 months. So i finally decided to give you a shot and i am so glad i did. You seem very genuine and truly appreciate what our guys can do. So i will sub and go along with you while you dive into this wonderful rabbit hole.
Subbed for more Home Free!! They’re the BEST a cappella group out there, in my opinion. Everything you said and felt is what I felt when I first heard this. So many different goodies to explore with them. Don’t hesitate. Thanks for reacting to them!!!
You have started something now... you will become a Home Fry in NO time at all!!!
Loved your reaction! If you really want to see how talented they are and how diverse they are, react to Mayday. They sound completely different it’s mind boggling. Also ring of fire, American pie with the original artist.
Home Free are just friggin AWESOME! No matter what your musical taste............they are mind blowers.
So if you like harmonies, you will love Home Free. They are known for their tight harmonies as well as tremendous talent and their humor. They are the full package!
Austin yodels in All About That base
You've got to check them out with Elvira ft The Oak Ridge Boys.
You mentioned Josh Turner in your comments. You should check out one of their concert performances of "Your Man". The guys have a little fun with Tim's vocal range. (Tim Foust is the bass singer for Home Free)
If you like the "break" in Austin Brown's voice, you should check out their cover of "All About The Bass". He's practically yodeling.
I Found this rabbit hole during lock down and haven't gone a day without them since. Such a talented group of guys. I will second any and all songs that are suggested because I haven't heard a bad one yet. Enjoy
Yes! Finally a reactor that is as crazy about sound as I am. I subbed for more HF reactions from you at your very first pause.
Bob Dylan covered it on his first albulm, as also he covered an old song, composer unknown, about a brothel; " the House of the Risin g Sun ". Great Channel Pal
The 🇬🇧 group The Animals covered this song in the 1960 and for many it's the ultimate version of The House Of The Rising Sun. Check out The Animals. Cheers
Welcome to the HOME FREE rabbit hole, us fans call ourselves home fries. Kepp doing some home free ,and you get more subscribers, they have a hugh you tube following
Welp, guess in the next few days I'll put out the sea shanty recording and already have a lot of their videos bookmarked
They’re off the scale amazing! The more you listen to them the more you realise just how talented they are. The high tenor, Austin, has an amazing voice… but the bass singer, forget his name momentarily….has a range that is huge. I mean huge!!
Thanks EB they are amazing its a great song the human voice is the best musical instrument and their harmony is amazing.
Welcome to the most enjoyable rabbit hole out there. 5 perfect voices in perfect harmony. And the best vocal percussionist on the planet. They do lots of different genres. This is one of their most country songs.
Love this song. Had to pause during this reaction (sorry) to go and download some of their stuff to my TH-cam music lists, can't wait to listen to more
If you love harmony, you’ll love Home Free, the best!
New sub! Home Free is just the best! That was Adam Rupp - beatboxer/percussionist extraordinaire playing his infamous "nomonica". I think you'll really like their version of "Take Me Home Country Roads". It's one of my favorite covers of theirs. Btw, fans of Home Free are called home fries ------> 🍟Thanks - really enjoyed this.
Home Free is the best brother. They lean country but it's not all they sing.....they do also a lot of covers but a lot of originals too. If you like harmonies, you'll LOVE Home Free. A suggestion....their cover of American Pie with Don McLean....they all get to sing solo and you get to hear all their voices. Also their cover of Trace Adkins "I can't outrun you" is just about their very best. These guys are so talented, their baritone/bass Chance actually directed it as well. They have an outstanding list of videos.....Brother in Arms is amazing a cover of the Dire Straits classic
New sub. I think it's fair to say you're a home fry.
Ring of fire my friend, enjoy.
Wait until you hear Austin yodeling in All About That Base or Rob singing Opera. Or the pure country of Hillbilly Bone. There's over 400 songs to choose from, classic oldies, 80s, you name it, they do it. Glad you are keen to try more. Everything they do is clean, fun and usually better than the original. Try their team ups, God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood, Elvira with The Oak Ridge Boys and American Pie the 50th anniversary with Don himself. Have fun! And welcome!
The two men in the back are beat boxing. The left does mouth harp the right harmonica and drums.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! You have a lot of fun coming down the pike if you check out more of their music. Home Free is the first and only all acapella country band, but they do some other genres as well. Every sound you heard in this song is made by a human mouth; they've explained in live concerts that they'll sometimes use a looper so that some members can do multiple effects at the same time (example -- the beatboxer (Adam Rupp) also doing the harmonica (aka no-monica) sound effect), but it's all 100% their voices. Check out more of their music and you won't be sorry!
PS -- Courtesy FYI, that ball cap you're wearing must have a green bill on the underside of it because your green screen was coming through it. :)
You want straight up harmonies...check out Helplessly Hoping! That's insane! Love your reaction! 😊
Welcome to the Home Free Rabbit Hole.
There's no harmonica lol just Adam Rupp!
Welcome to the Home Free world!! Austin, Adam, Chance, Rob and Tim!! Every noise u hear is from their mouths!! They can sing any genre!!
Home Free = 5 Tenors, 5 Altos, 5 Beat Boxers, 3 Basses, and 5 incredible guys. Just Wow! As I am getting ready to see them in like 4 weeks the anticipation is PALPABLE!
There is a LONG playlist of Home Free for you to watch!
Also, for another a cappella super group, try Voiceplay. Check out their latest video of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters".
LMAO....GET ready for a 4th playlist for just Home Free! Home Free has 14 albums and over 140 videos that cover every genera!
Home Free is always point on with their harmony and vocals!
WELCOME to the rabbit hole! I've never heard a bad song ( cover or original ) from this group!
peace
Hi Eclectic beard the bass singer is Tim Foust and can go lower than this it’s well worth checking these out home free is the best a Capella group in the world they have some comedic songs too
You should react to Home Frees cover of, burning Ring of Fire. You will hear Tim Foust hitting a REAL low note
