Yes Beesley, they are completely acapella AND they do live shows. All 5 are tremendously talented on their own, but together PHENOMENAL. Thank you again for taking my suggestion. They do covers and originals. Some covers you might like End of the Road by Boys 2 Men, Mayday by Cam, Hillbilly Bone by Blake Shelton, Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash. And you CAN'T go wrong with their Butt's Remix (it's a hilariously good compilation of all the "booty" songs) or their Country Fried Pop Medley. Enjoy your weekend!!! Cheers from Texas!
Yeah, they're good too. I miss Avi a lot, though. I think they lost a bit when he left. And if we're adding groups, add VoicePlay. Each of these groups have their own sound and play mostly in their own genre.
Awe bless your heart. You have just fallen down the rabbit hole that is Home Free. Many people will comment and give you amazing details about these wonderful, humble young men, who average about 6'2" plus 2 inches of cowboy boot heels. I call them the A Capella giants. I just want to tell you it was filmed in Fairhope, Alabama, USA where my mama was born, and what you see behind them is call an Oak Alley where the oak trees form a natural archway over a road. Each tree had it's own echosystem with ferns, mosses, insects, lizards that are born, live and die upon their own oak tree. Some of the branches are so huge they eventually dip down to the ground in order to be supported. The Gator is a common thing in most Southern USA states. Down here in Florida they hang out on golf courses and people just play around them. Then there are the iguanas that --- if the temperature drops too low, go into stasis. The news casters announce ...... please don't disturb what may appear to be a dead iguana. As soon as they warm up they will get up and get own with their lives. No lie dude.
I AM SO EXCITED YOU'RE REACTING TO HOME FREE!!! YES! This is making my week!!! Aw...thanks for the mention, I ❤ your reactions! Keep up the great work!
Yes they perform this song in their live shows..but they have to use a looper to sustain the sound of the jaw harp which is made by Chance's voice. The cool thing about the live show is that the lead singer joins in to make two harmonicas at the same time. Home Free is amazing. Hmm...sounds like you might join the rest of us fans, or Home Fries.
The guy singing lead is high tenor Austin Brown, one with beard and glasses is Rob Lundquist, one in orange hat is Adam Chance (goes by Chance). Chance is the one doing the mouth harp at the beginning and end. The base is Tim Foust and Adam Rupp (freak of nature) is the beatboxer. All sounds are made by them, no instruments. Check out some of their other covers as well as originals. Also, check out Adam’s drum solos. Yes, they do live shows and do many genres of music.
Adam Chance does the jew's harp sounds live on stage, but they use a "looper" to keep the sound going for long periods of time because Adam says it hurts his voice to do it too long.
@@karinfichtner7479 which is why i will never go see them live. while i can respect that it hurts his voice to do it for long periods. and i can sypathize. it isn't just Chance's voice they tape and loop. it's mostly for Adam. so that't 2 of the 5 they are taping for. are you listening to a live perforance or a taped one? just food for thought. Even they know that with the use of a loop station they are no longer in the a capella genre, bc it is a type of musical instrumentation. when listening to their older live shows you will hear Tim introduce them as an a capella group. and he will go on to say, " for those who don't know what that means. it's a group of singers that aren't backed up by any instruments or electonic instuments. it's done by us" he doesn't say that anymore.. leads me to believe that even they know they have crossed that line.
@@marytramp5678 Loopers just repeat the sound. The sound itself is still their voice so I think they are still acapella. Just like in most songs they are using layered tracks but the sounds are still just their voices. I'm not a musician so it's just my opinion. Peter Hollens does songs alone using layered tracks since all the sounds/voices are just him and he can't sing all parts at the same time. I think they are all just amazing however you want to classify it.
@@chrisb7198 1)i understand that when making videos or records that layered trcks are a neccesity and are expected. 2) i also understand what looper is. it' a recording. it' not "live" When i go to see LIVE performance i expect to see a LIVE performance NOT a recorded one. 3) a capella does NOT include the use of electronics to enhance the performance, instrumentation. or RECORDINGS. i'm more than willing to over look i for the ssake of videos and records. people/consumers exect "perfection" for these things. i'm not willing to let it slide when it comes to a LIVWe all go to concerts to hear hem sing live and in person and we are not getting that when we listen to a recording of them. when the use recordings of their voices to enhance their performance they stop being an a capella group regardless of what the recording is. would you be willing to pay money to go see 5 men stand on stage and lip sync a concert? Probably not. But who's to say you aren't? we already know that they have already put on one concert using the looper in place of Chance. they have decades of perfecting lip syncing for videos. how many concerts can they get out of it before they need to do a fresh recording? from the second they started using the looper, they stopped being a a capella group.. that's fine. it DOESN"T take away from how talented they are. They DON'T have to pick a genre or type of musical group to be. but one thing they aren't is a capella. Even Tim doesn't introduce them as an a capella group anymore. that should tell you something right there. the actual definition of a capella is without musical accompaniment. a looper is a recorded musical accopanimant.
I found these guys last year. This was the first song I ever heard from them & I was instantly hooked & became a homefry. The talent of these 5 men is insane. Together they are a perfect fit & complement each other so well. There bass singer Tim Foust is the best in the business & Adam Rupp their beatboxer extraordinaire can make any sounds & is in a class by himself. And yes they can reproduce all these songs & sounds live too.
You are now a HomeFry! Thus guys are so much fun! Look at their Butts Remix and and will find them live all over TH-cam. They are so talented! We love Home Free!
I’d like to pitch one of their songs that doesn’t get done on music reaction channels all the time. Please give Down to the Honkytonk a listen; here’s my reasons. 1) They kept working hard throughout quarantine and put out some great stuff while all recording separately in their own homes. This is one of those. 2) You get to see a taste of their personalities in a fun song. 3) It’s an upbeat American Country song, probably different from anything you’ve heard. 4) You see their home life, with three of their wives/girlfriends appearing in the video.
Thank you! Home Free is one of my favorite bands. The beatboxer, Adam Rupp founded the band about 20 years ago, Their songs and videos are fantastic! I love about 95% of all the Home Free songs I have heard. Dive Bar Saints, Don’t It Feel Good, Full of Cheer and Snow Globe are great originals. My favorite covers are Do You Hear What I Hear, Fulsom Prison Blues, and Brothers in Arms,
@@slinman100 Yes! Adam Rupp, his brother Chris and their friend Matt Atwood founded Home Free. Chris Rupp just released Home Free History episode 1 on his channel ChrisRuppOfficial! 😁. I am hoping the tour near me as well. I love them!
Welcome to the a cappella rabbit hole, where I spent most of the pandemic. The big 3 are Pentatonix, Home Free, and VoicePlay. Though they all cross over, Pentatonix is primarily Pop, Home Free primarily Country, and VoicePlay does a lot of music from movies,TV, and theatre. I highly recommend them all! A note of warning for you as a reactor, some music gets automatically blocked. Pentatonix seems to get blocked a lot, but as far as I know, they unblock them if you go through the process. They are all fantastic, and are worth checking out, even if you don’t react to them. They are all ridiculously talented. I think the Pentatonix version of “Hallelujah” is the gold standard for that often-covered song.
These guys are the best. Everyone has incredible talent. They make you forget that there are no instruments. Their voices are absolutely unique. But Adam the beatboxer and Tim the bass are awesome, it's crazy. This is one of the first songs I heard from HF and it took me a while to realize that Adam really doesn't have a harmonica 😁 You really need to listen to more from HF. Sea Shanty Medley and In The Blood are very nice songs. Good reaction!
These guys can sing any genre but they typically do country. This is my favorite group of the Acapella groups. There's also Pentatonix which generally do pop/soft rock, and Voice Play which is more theatrical. Pentatonix start with Hallelujah, Voice Play start with Oogie Boogie Man.
Illinois? Any guess why this particular venue isn't selling? The rest of the tour is pretty much sold out. I'm excited to be seeing them in Eau Claire at the end of the month but am considering going down to this Sunday concert as well.
@@cdmp1313 Sorry, didn't make it down there. Hope you are able to sell them. Let me know how you like the show. Hope it is a blast! Like I said I'll be seeing (pretty much) the same show in a couple of weeks.
Beasley you really, really, really need to react to Adam Rupp from Home Free doing his drum solo it is amazing. You also need to react to Home Free’s “Butts Medley” it is mental, i challenge you to try and watch it without laughing. Please play these 2 things. You and your listeners will enjoy them both. Home Free will be on a world tour and I think they’re scheduled for London in the spring of 2022. You may check their schedule for dates and locations.
Yes all “a cappella”. Check out the NBC show the Sing Off which they won in 2013. It’s all live. The beatboxer is amazing. You can see a live video of him on TH-cam called Adam Rupp Drum Solo. All drums without drums…not kidding. Tim Foust is the bass with a 5 octave range so he can sing in the depths and sing up in the tenor range. They are country but sing all genres of music. They are all super talented and all can beatbox to a degree. Chance (also in the back row)was doing the mouth harp sound at the beginning and end of the song. This is an old song (over 100 years old) made famous in the movie O Brother Where Art Thou. Try Helplessly Hoping, One Man Band, In the Blood to hear more great harmonies. Good reaction Beesley.
Yes. They do all of this live. Adam Rupp is the beatboxer here. All of the sounds (aside from the jew's harp sound) are produced by Adam Rupp. The one producing the jew's harp sound is Adam Chance. The other most popular a capella groups are VoicePlay, Voctave and Pentatonix.
Welcome to the Acapella Wabbit Hole. If you want to really hear them at full versatility and laugh your "butt" off, check Home Free's version of "Butts Remix". Enjoy, and welcome to the family.
While they might have shown that they can all beat box, there are only two really making sounds in this one. One is doing the mouth harp sound heard at the beginning and one is doing the drum beat and the harmonica. No, he can't hold the drum beat and do harmonica at the same time, so this is layered vocally. Live they use a looper so, for instance, the mouth hard guy will sing a few bars and then it will be repeated. The beat boxer will do a few bars of drums then loop it so he can "play" the harmonica. No autotune used but the beat boxing uses a mic with some different compression (most mic's use some form of compression but live he often stands apart from the rest). They do the songs live and sound awesome.
to listen to home free a good set of headphones is needed to feel the bass as tim can go so low it shakes your soul and occasionally breaks speakers at live shows
Loved your reaction.. Definitely keep going with Home Free.. They sing so many different kinds of music.. I have been to 2 live shows and they are fantastic.. And, these guys have such a good sense of humor... Their shows and some of their videos are hilarious..
It is a vocal band. Everything comes from voice & mouth. They have many videos of them in concert. Also, check out Adam Rupp's drum solo (the beat boxer). That way you will get an idea how good he truly is. They are the only Country A Capella group, but they do all kinds of music. From Country to Rock. Even some motown/R&B music.
You. My friend, have just thankfully stumbled upon the greatest group of guys & entertainers EVER. Home Fry in the making you are. You will totally enjoy everything these guys do, and you'll love us fellow Home Fries. Perfect song for 1st reaction. This was fabulous! Great reaction. 🥰
You found my favorite group! Yes it’s all their voices. There are no instruments. They have a huge catalog of songs and a lot are not country. Check out “Hillbilly Bone” and “American Pie” and “Helplessly Hoping” and “End of The Road”🐝❤️🤗
Man of Constant Sorrow was written and recorded by my distant cousin, Dick Burnett in 1913. I was at the Home Free concert last night in Rochester, Mn. They sang this song and it sounded just as good live. If you have a chance to see them live I would recommend it. I bought the tickets over a year and a half ago and due to COVID it was rescheduled and cancelled three times.
Their is a fabulous live performance video where Austin (high tenor) and Adam (bestboxer) do an a capella harmonica duet. And yes it is all a capella!!!
MORE HOME FREE!! I was one of the people asking you to check them out! Check out "All about the Bass" if you want to see a pop song turned country WITH YOUDLING in it!
Yes, they do live performances, and they're a completely acapella vocal group. I look forward to your future Home Free reactions! You should check out their rendition of, "When a Man Loves a Woman!"
@@TheBeesleys99 They sing most any genre. However, with three of them being from the deep South (Texas, Georgia and Alabama) their voices lend themselves to country. The only thing I haven't heard them do is hard rock, obviously because of the instrumentals in rock music. One of the founding members of American country music picked up yodeling from a Swiss group and it now yodeling is synonymous with country music.
i have been to two of their shows -- one they did this song and there were no instruments used. remarkable -- they play england sometimes and when they start touring again you might want to catch one of their shows.
They are a Country vocal band. However, they do wander off the Country reservation from time to time, with spectacular results. You might enjoy listening to their renditions of Auld Lang Syne, Helplessly Hoping, and (for sheer hilarity and fun), Country Fried Pop Medley.
I think they do some overdubbing of Adam Rupp's percussion parts in the studio productions but they do a LOT of live concerts and manage very well. Yes it is ALL a cappella. ..
Other A Capella groups that are beyond amazing...like HF,are PTX,Voiceplay, & the Bass Gang.Home Free is country but they do MANY styles,they are each phanominal at what they do...the Bass Tim is incredible & has a 6 octive range,Adam the beat boxer is a champion at his craft & abilities, Austin the high Tenor has the most beautiful tone and his accent is awesome,Rob is the middle tenor with the perfect boy band vocals and a smooth middle range,and Adam Chance or Chance the baritone is also a bass and has a great range and a mellow tone that is so pleasant it should be a crime,plus Chance plays guitar!!😃 I think you've just fell down the rabbit hole!!lol😂enjoy the trip✌
Hint when you pause music vids it is good form to rewind them a bit so as not to lose the continuity. The songs are always too short so don't be afraid to rewind away :) ..
Another Home Fry( Home Free fan)new sub. You can't find a bad song in their catalog. My newest favorite is Bless the broken road. Pause all you want, folks wanting uninterrupted song can go to Home Free's page. I want to hear your thoughts
I’m A Brit from Manchester and I’ve followed HomeFree for six years now and they can sing the phone book and make it sound great. If you like the beat boxer Adam Rupp I highly recommend you next try his “Adam Rupp Drum Solo”. During Covid they have kept us going by releasing a top class video every two weeks and have over 150 on they’re channel. Before covid they were doing over 200 shows a year and were part way though a European tour when covid struck, I had tickets for the Manchester leg can’t wait to see them live.
Hi Beesley now you´ve done it , if you as a reactor say that you like our guys the fries / fanname will come running and we are a very loyal bunch , you are right they all can beatbox a little but Adam [ MR. FREAK OF NATURE ] Rupp is one of a kind people say he eats drumkits for breakfast LOL , i like to see professional drummers and DJ´s react to his Drumsolo , one DJ just laughed and said - well there goes my job , you did a great reaction keep them coming much love from a danish fry
So happy you found Home Free. The guys are amazing and any song you pick to react to will be amazing. People have given you information and I will add a tad more. Rob Lundquist is from Minnesota and so is Adam Rupp. Tim Foust from southeast Texas, Austin Brown from Georgia and Adam Chance from Alabama. If I am not mistaken this song was done in Alabama and the alligator is also Alabama raised. ;) Some songs have already been requested and they won't disappoint. Maybe try...Good Ol' Boy Good Time...fun...or...Friends in Low Places...a Garth Brooks cover...really good. Up to you. Liked and subscribed.
Just as good live! True a Capella. Adam Rupp (beatboxer) is referred to as "a freak of nature". Look up one of his live solos. They all do some beatboxing!
Adam does use a looper at live concerts, but he will create the loop live, then use the loop to fill in during the song, so he can do his other effects. Also, ALL the guys can beatbox to a degree and in this video, Chance is doing the jaw harp sound.
Homefree aren't the original artists. The song was actually written by Bob Dylan in the 60s, then rewrote as a country/bluegrass song for O Brother. Homefree covered it a couple of years ago
I''ve been one of your subscribers. I watched you react to sports and videos about America and now I'm happy to see you react to one of my favorite groups. I'm a Home Fry (dedicated Home Free fan). I just saw them in concert last week in Charleston, SC. Great show. I especially loved the beatboxer solo.
New sub here. I saw these guys in concert a week or so ago. It was awesome. Yes, they sound phenomenal live and this song was fantastic! It is definitely a cappella, but at times they do use a looper. Keep it up!
They have many many songs that I love- but you should listen to “Go rest high on that Mountain” they also did a song with the US Air Force band and Lee Greenwood “God Bless the USA” those are both very good.
FYI - No auto-tune! The only time I have ever heard auto-tune from PTX, HF, or VOICEPLAY is when PTX did an evo of 90's dance songs. It is obvious where they did it, and they were paying tribute a Cher song.
Bees I have been to 2 Home Free concerts before Covid. They have just started touring once again, and they are better than ever. I can just say if you plan to react to them again, please check out their cover of American Pie, featurinf Don McLean, the original writer of the classic song. Oct 24th would be a great day as that would be the 50th anniversary of the iconic songs release.
Yes Beesley, they are completely acapella AND they do live shows. All 5 are tremendously talented on their own, but together PHENOMENAL. Thank you again for taking my suggestion. They do covers and originals. Some covers you might like End of the Road by Boys 2 Men, Mayday by Cam, Hillbilly Bone by Blake Shelton, Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash. And you CAN'T go wrong with their Butt's Remix (it's a hilariously good compilation of all the "booty" songs) or their Country Fried Pop Medley. Enjoy your weekend!!! Cheers from Texas!
Home Free is 100% acapella....no instruments....no sound machines. Yes, they do all of this live on tour. More Home Free and Pentatonix please.
Yeah, they're good too. I miss Avi a lot, though. I think they lost a bit when he left. And if we're adding groups, add VoicePlay. Each of these groups have their own sound and play mostly in their own genre.

I AM SO EXCITED YOU'RE REACTING TO HOME FREE!!! YES! This is making my week!!! Aw...thanks for the mention, I ❤ your reactions! Keep up the great work!
You should have suggested Cruise from the Sing Off.
Thank you for suggesting this!! I jumped right on it! There is so much great music from our guys and the Home Fries will come running!!
Agreed, there really isn't any song they sing that isn't amazing.

I LOVE Home Free! They are amazing!
I’d like to pitch one of their songs that doesn’t get done on music reaction channels all the time. Please give Down to the Honkytonk a listen; here’s my reasons.
1) They kept working hard throughout quarantine and put out some great stuff while all recording separately in their own homes. This is one of those.
2) You get to see a taste of their personalities in a fun song.
3) It’s an upbeat American Country song, probably different from anything you’ve heard.
4) You see their home life, with three of their wives/girlfriends appearing in the video.
They did alot of videos during quarantine, all were phenomenal! They are awesome during their "parties" as Tim calls them.
Oh yes, great song! They do this one up right!

Beasley you really, really, really need to react to Adam Rupp from Home Free doing his drum solo it is amazing. You also need to react to Home Free’s “Butts Medley” it is mental, i challenge you to try and watch it without laughing. Please play these 2 things. You and your listeners will enjoy them both. Home Free will be on a world tour and I think they’re scheduled for London in the spring of 2022. You may check their schedule for dates and locations.
Song published in 1912 made famous in 2000 movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou.
GREAT REACTION! IM GOING TO SEE THEM LIVE IN DEC- SO SO EXCITED!! :)
Home Free is totally awesome. Another excellent group is Voice Play. Crazy talented, creative, and extremely entertaining!
Yes all “a cappella”. Check out the NBC show the Sing Off which they won in 2013. It’s all live. The beatboxer is amazing. You can see a live video of him on TH-cam called Adam Rupp Drum Solo. All drums without drums…not kidding. Tim Foust is the bass with a 5 octave range so he can sing in the depths and sing up in the tenor range. They are country but sing all genres of music. They are all super talented and all can beatbox to a degree. Chance (also in the back row)was doing the mouth harp sound at the beginning and end of the song. This is an old song (over 100 years old) made famous in the movie O Brother Where Art Thou. Try Helplessly Hoping, One Man Band, In the Blood to hear more great harmonies. Good reaction Beesley.
Yes they do live shows, you should react to their guilty pleasures it's so funny
Beesley! I’m excited to see your reaction! One of my favorite TH-camrs and my favorite band…
Wonderful reaction. Yes they are great live as well. I hope you do more Home Free. Thank you and have a good one.
Yes. They do all of this live. Adam Rupp is the beatboxer here. All of the sounds (aside from the jew's harp sound) are produced by Adam Rupp. The one producing the jew's harp sound is Adam Chance. The other most popular a capella groups are VoicePlay, Voctave and Pentatonix.
Welcome to the Acapella Wabbit Hole. If you want to really hear them at full versatility and laugh your "butt" off, check Home Free's version of "Butts Remix". Enjoy, and welcome to the family.
Butts Remix is a MUST for any Home Fry....it really showcases their sense on humor and as always their talent is phenomenal!
Welcome to Home Free! Live is even more incredible. I love seeing your reaction and appreciation
While they might have shown that they can all beat box, there are only two really making sounds in this one. One is doing the mouth harp sound heard at the beginning and one is doing the drum beat and the harmonica. No, he can't hold the drum beat and do harmonica at the same time, so this is layered vocally. Live they use a looper so, for instance, the mouth hard guy will sing a few bars and then it will be repeated. The beat boxer will do a few bars of drums then loop it so he can "play" the harmonica. No autotune used but the beat boxing uses a mic with some different compression (most mic's use some form of compression but live he often stands apart from the rest). They do the songs live and sound awesome.
I’ve seen them twice in concert and going back to see them in December. They are amazing live! Just subscribed!
to listen to home free a good set of headphones is needed to feel the bass as tim can go so low it shakes your soul and occasionally breaks speakers at live shows
100% acapella including mouth harp and harmonica. Yes, more please!
All with just their voice. Their version of END OF THE ROAD is sick
Loved your reaction.. Definitely keep going with Home Free.. They sing so many different kinds of music.. I have been to 2 live shows and they are fantastic.. And, these guys have such a good sense of humor... Their shows and some of their videos are hilarious..
It is a vocal band.
Everything comes from voice & mouth.
They have many videos of them in concert.
Also, check out Adam Rupp's drum solo (the beat boxer). That way you will get an idea how good he truly is.
They are the only Country A Capella group, but they do all kinds of music.
From Country to Rock. Even some motown/R&B music.
You. My friend, have just thankfully stumbled upon the greatest group of guys & entertainers EVER. Home Fry in the making you are. You will totally enjoy everything these guys do, and you'll love us fellow Home Fries.
Perfect song for 1st reaction.
This was fabulous! Great reaction. 🥰
I completely agree!!! So glad he's started down the Home Free rabbit hole...it's gonna be a fun adventure!
@@brandyforsythe1882 yes! We're anxiously awaiting MORE! 😉😍
Yes, they sing this live! Just saw it tonight in concert.
Oh wow!!! That's awesome, congratulations!!!
You found my favorite group! Yes it’s all their voices. There are no instruments. They have a huge catalog of songs and a lot are not country. Check out “Hillbilly Bone” and “American Pie” and “Helplessly Hoping” and “End of The Road”🐝❤️🤗
Welcome to the world of Home Free!
It's a "cover" of a song that was first recorded almost a century ago, and has been covered many times since by many bluegrass and country artists.
Man of Constant Sorrow was written and recorded by my distant cousin, Dick Burnett in 1913. I was at the Home Free concert last night in Rochester, Mn. They sang this song and it sounded just as good live. If you have a chance to see them live I would recommend it. I bought the tickets over a year and a half ago and due to COVID it was rescheduled and cancelled three times.
Its about time you check these guys out. Welcome to the rabbit hole. These guys can't be beat in my opinion.
They do live shows. My friend is going to see them this weekend
Their is a fabulous live performance video where Austin (high tenor) and Adam (bestboxer) do an a capella harmonica duet. And yes it is all a capella!!!
MORE HOME FREE!! I was one of the people asking you to check them out! Check out "All about the Bass" if you want to see a pop song turned country WITH YOUDLING in it!
Good suggestion!!! Austin yodeling is fabulous!!!
Yes, they do live performances, and they're a completely acapella vocal group. I look forward to your future Home Free reactions! You should check out their rendition of, "When a Man Loves a Woman!"
"that little change in his voice" is called a yodel.
Awesome cheers!
@@TheBeesleys99 They sing most any genre. However, with three of them being from the deep South (Texas, Georgia and Alabama) their voices lend themselves to country. The only thing I haven't heard them do is hard rock, obviously because of the instrumentals in rock music. One of the founding members of American country music picked up yodeling from a Swiss group and it now yodeling is synonymous with country music.
i have been to two of their shows -- one they did this song and there were no instruments used. remarkable -- they play england sometimes and when they start touring again you might want to catch one of their shows.
there's lots of great videos one where the bass guy blows speakers another where the beatboxer guy does a drum solo with no drums
These guys are truly amazing - it's fun to see your reaction... because yes, they are so good it is hard to believe.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole... Can't wait for them to come to the UK again..
This is great that you are adding music reactions. I'm here for it! 😁
Yes plz do more Home Free..lol..you won't find any bad tunes from them..they are amazing
There are plenty of their concerts on video. Just look for them.
They are a Country vocal band. However, they do wander off the Country reservation from time to time, with spectacular results. You might enjoy listening to their renditions of Auld Lang Syne, Helplessly Hoping, and (for sheer hilarity and fun), Country Fried Pop Medley.
Pentatonix and Voiceplay are absolute must!!
I think they do some overdubbing of Adam Rupp's percussion parts in the studio productions but they do a LOT of live concerts and manage very well. Yes it is ALL a cappella.
..
Home Free is amazing. Check out their cover of the O' Jays, Love Train. Nice reaction.
Beesley -- I really enjoy your open-hearted enthusiasm.
Other A Capella groups that are beyond amazing...like HF,are PTX,Voiceplay, & the Bass Gang.Home Free is country but they do MANY styles,they are each phanominal at what they do...the Bass Tim is incredible & has a 6 octive range,Adam the beat boxer is a champion at his craft & abilities, Austin the high Tenor has the most beautiful tone and his accent is awesome,Rob is the middle tenor with the perfect boy band vocals and a smooth middle range,and Adam Chance or Chance the baritone is also a bass and has a great range and a mellow tone that is so pleasant it should be a crime,plus Chance plays guitar!!😃
I think you've just fell down the rabbit hole!!lol😂enjoy the trip✌
i'm going going see them next week and can't wait to see adam live
Hint when you pause music vids it is good form to rewind them a bit so as not to lose the continuity.
The songs are always too short so don't be afraid to rewind away :)
..
Yes. And never, ever look away from their videos. They ALWAYS add a Lil sumthin in, and you don't want to miss it. 😉🥰
Another Home Fry( Home Free fan)new sub. You can't find a bad song in their catalog. My newest favorite is Bless the broken road.
Pause all you want, folks wanting uninterrupted song can go to Home Free's page. I want to hear your thoughts
I’m A Brit from Manchester and I’ve followed HomeFree for six years now and they can sing the phone book and make it sound great. If you like the beat boxer Adam Rupp I highly recommend you next try his “Adam Rupp Drum Solo”. During Covid they have kept us going by releasing a top class video every two weeks and have over 150 on they’re channel. Before covid they were doing over 200 shows a year and were part way though a European tour when covid struck, I had tickets for the Manchester leg can’t wait to see them live.
Hillbilly Bone and Helplessly Hoping. Also check out Voiceplay and Pentatonix, two other great acapella groups.
I'm so excited to see your reaction to their covers! Their acapella is amazing and they cover a lot of classic American country songs.
I just attended a live show last night. They did this song and did it very close to the studio recording you are listening to.
Hi Beesley now you´ve done it , if you as a reactor say that you like our guys the fries / fanname will come running and we are a very loyal bunch , you are right they all can beatbox a little but Adam [ MR. FREAK OF NATURE ] Rupp is one of a kind people say he eats drumkits for breakfast LOL , i like to see professional drummers and DJ´s react to his Drumsolo , one DJ just laughed and said - well there goes my job , you did a great reaction keep them coming much love from a danish fry
So happy you found Home Free. The guys are amazing and any song you pick to react to will be amazing. People have given you information and I will add a tad more. Rob Lundquist is from Minnesota and so is Adam Rupp. Tim Foust from southeast Texas, Austin Brown from Georgia and Adam Chance from Alabama. If I am not mistaken this song was done in Alabama and the alligator is also Alabama raised. ;) Some songs have already been requested and they won't disappoint. Maybe try...Good Ol' Boy Good Time...fun...or...Friends in Low Places...a Garth Brooks cover...really good. Up to you. Liked and subscribed.
Just as good live! True a Capella. Adam Rupp (beatboxer) is referred to as "a freak of nature". Look up one of his live solos. They all do some beatboxing!
Beesley just became a Home Fry!
When you react to Home Free, us Home Fries love it. Acapulco group that is beyond exceptional 👏 😍
They do preform this live and there are several on TH-cam.
Yes they tour, about 200 shows a year. Including tours to London, Scotland and Europe.
Adam does use a looper at live concerts, but he will create the loop live, then use the loop to fill in during the song, so he can do his other effects. Also, ALL the guys can beatbox to a degree and in this video, Chance is doing the jaw harp sound.
From the movie, I Am a Man Of Constant Sorrow | O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
Wow! I’ve only heard this song from the movie O Brother Where Art Thou. I didn’t know that they were an a cappella group. This was incredible!!
Homefree aren't the original artists.
The song was actually written by Bob Dylan in the 60s, then rewrote as a country/bluegrass song for O Brother.
Homefree covered it a couple of years ago
@@jlew13jl Dylan? Wow! I had no idea! I’m surprised that I didn’t know that! I was born in ‘73 so I should have. lol
And it's them in the movie too .
@jlew13jl the song was written well before Dylan.
@@georgesheffield1580 actually the movie version wasn't sung by any of the members of HF.
It was sung by Dan Tyminski, Harley Allen, Pat Enright.
They do much more than country❤️
I''ve been one of your subscribers. I watched you react to sports and videos about America and now I'm happy to see you react to one of my favorite groups. I'm a Home Fry (dedicated Home Free fan). I just saw them in concert last week in Charleston, SC. Great show. I especially loved the beatboxer solo.
You are going to be shocked by how many Home Fries are going to find your channel. Get ready to be inundated with requests.
Yep, the Home Fries will give Beesley a well deserved boost. I love his reactions and adding Home Free to the mix is just a wonderful bonus!!!
New sub here. I saw these guys in concert a week or so ago. It was awesome. Yes, they sound phenomenal live and this song was fantastic! It is definitely a cappella, but at times they do use a looper. Keep it up!
They have many many songs that I love- but you should listen to “Go rest high on that Mountain” they also did a song with the US Air Force band and Lee Greenwood “God Bless the USA” those are both very good.
FYI - No auto-tune! The only time I have ever heard auto-tune from PTX, HF, or VOICEPLAY is when PTX did an evo of 90's dance songs. It is obvious where they did it, and they were paying tribute a Cher song.
Bees I have been to 2 Home Free concerts before Covid. They have just started touring once again, and they are better than ever. I can just say if you plan to react to them again, please check out their cover of American Pie, featurinf Don McLean, the original writer of the classic song. Oct 24th would be a great day as that would be the 50th anniversary of the iconic songs release.
Their live shows are awesome. You can find plenty of clips on TH-cam from their shows. I'm seeing them in December for their current tour.
