An absolute honor and privilege to speak with this man! What's your favorite new thing you learned about Tim? Who would you like to hear me interview next?
This was awesome! It was nice to hear his perspective on the difference on singing with and without a mic! Thanks for doing this! Would love to see you this with the Charismatic Voice!
Thanks for having me!
@@TimFoustMusic Thanks for sharing. Very generous.
An Austin interview would be awesome! ❤❤
With Avi Kaplan
Chris Rupp did a great Home Free History series where he interviews the OG members and current members to get their histories with the group.
Hard to think of this as an interview -- more like an afternoon together to compare ideas, life choices, and musical experiences. Tim is a genuine legend, Home Free my favorite a cappella band. Peter, you are amazing. What's not to enjoy? And yes, I was here for the entire 1 hour, 45 minutes and 34 seconds.
So glad you enjoyed this chat!!
This was the best interview of Tim Foust I've ever seen. This was two men talking about what has been the most dominant factor in their lives and it was relaxed, entertaining, informative, and fun. Great job, Peter Barber. No problem at all staying to the end.
So glad you enjoyed!
I hate to disagree with Sir Tim, but Home Free doesn't do covers. They do upgrades.
He sings with my buddy Ernie in Sweet and Low. Y’all got to check it out - they are PHENOMENAL!
First reaction on seeing the posting: That's a long one. Second reaction after listening: They're done? Really? This was great. Really. Fascinating interview/conversation. Loved every minute of it.
Great Interview.
And Tim, you can list food as a hobby.
He can just sit there and smile. 💕
This was actually the best interview i have seen ❤ you both were very comfortable and it felt like you have known each other for ever. Thanks Peter & Tim ❤❤
ur so beauty
Thanks for watching!
Tim seems to be so knowledgeable about so many types of music. I’m really impressed by him. I follow him on his website and on his campaign with Patreon and can’t wait to be able to have him sing me Happy Birthday. That’s a dream for me. His bass is just as important as all the other parts, including the leads/tenors. My friend who plays the bass says it’s the bass that keeps the beat more than the drums, which is what most people think. I just love his attitude about his career and life. I pray he never leaves music because that would leave such a void for so many people. I admire his work with Home Free and his solo career and really look forward to hearing some of his original work. If you can’t tell, I am a huge fan and will continue to look forward to anything and everything Tim does. Love ❤️ you Tim.
Wow! This was so fun and interesting. I loved hearing about your background and the chat with Tim was so natural and it's obvious you both admire each other's work. Thank you! What a mid week treat! ^i^
Great interview! Love hearing you both “grumbling” at each other! I learned so much! ❤️
😂 I was thinking the same thing lol
Yep, that's exactly what I was going to say! I would like to hear you chat with Rob Lundquist (or anyone else who has been previously mentioned).
Glad to hear you enjoyed our bassy grumbling lol
Tim !!!! The best bass singer I have ever heard. His range is just phenomenal. This guy can sing anything. Thank you Peter for this interview. Love it. You two should do a collab one day.
this has aged well
I have learned that my bass singing benefits from me utilizing my upper register. I love camping out in my upper register for certain songs. But my heart is singing basement notes. Tim Foust, Geoff Castelucci, and Avi Kaplan are my inspirations. Thank you for this interview!!
It was like two good friends having a chat! Here is an idea 💡! Do some kind of interview (like that being able to slide from note to note and from chest to head) have Tim demonstrate on you vocal training vids. This was so much fun! Thank you both for sharing your gifts 💜
Tim is *so* well-spoken, interesting, and at-ease in this format. This is the first one of these Vocal Arts videos that I've watched in its entirety.
This was a super neat interview and friendly talk between two awesome bassists!
Glad you enjoyed it, David!
A great conversation with Tim who is a genuine nice guy who shares his talent tips and advice freely.
I love Tim's singing whether it's with Home Free, The Alley Cats, collabs with other artists, or his solo work. His range is just incredible & really sets him apart from a lot of other basses. Great sense of humor, too. Thanks for an interesting podcast!
I would love to hear an interview about Rob from home free. I also heard he is trained in Opera. Please do one with him. To me he can really sing anything.
That was one of the best interview's I've seen in a long time. You both seemed very relaxed & I learned a lot of interesting tidbits. Tim Foust is my favorite bass singer & Home Free is my favorite a cappella group. So I thoroughly enjoyed that. Thank you so much for doing it.
Thank you Peter & Tim.....an absolute blast & yes Tim, I listened all the way through !!! Peterr great questions, please do make this podcast a regular thing again.
ahhhh, thanks so much for sharing with us
Thanks for listening!! :]
Great interview! It was so nice of you to pump for your friend George - I'm sure he's grateful for the kind of letter of introduction. The information about reality talent contests rather confirmed what I've always thought - especially the 'back stories' (which were only ever about certain people - and you knew they'd be the front-runners). Having had a chance to talk to Tim, perhaps you could get an interview with Adam Rupp - founder of the band.
And Robb!
I have to say I FIND TIM THE MOST FUNNY, INTERESTING & INCREDIBLY BLESSED VOCALIST = Three Register Voice and LOWS WHERE WORMS WORRY WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE GROUND - indeed impressive young man .... having said that - Without The ADDITION OF AUSTIN = perhaps they fall short of winning the SING OFF .... he was CHARMING, STRATOSPHERIC in soaring into TENOR terrific sound ... and leading the otherwise Rob lead Group fro Minnesota. Chris was with the group then as well - tenor 2 and genius level band manager performer - Wish Him best of luck in producing !~ GBjj
Took a class from Tim. Worth every penny
Tim!!!!!!! My fav bass guy!! Love u man!
Love this guy. Absolutely a fantastic singer, he have a great humor, and are a real gentleman.💖💖💖
I hope Home Free don't stop tours completely, I want them back to Stockholm, Sweden. 🇸🇪
Thank you Peter. This was fun to watch 2 basses talk shop. It was great to see you relax and have a conversation. May you achieve your dreams, even the ones you haven't discovered yet. And Tim as always, great to hear from.
This is my 3rd time listening to you guys and I'm still learning. Besides I just love hearing your voices.
That was fantastic. of course, I could listen to either of you just read the phone book and enjoy it. Tim always seems like such a nice guy.
Tim Foust's voice is like river rocks tumbling down a cast iron culvert. Just gorgeous.
This was a wonderful interview from a reactor who I follow regularly with Tim Foust, who I love as a bass singer with Home Free and on his own, you too Peter😊.
What a nice interview! Very informative. It was nice to see Tim so relaxed too. Thanks, Peter, for including us.
I don’t know if you only want to interview bass singers but I’d love to see you interview Scott Hoying from Pentatonix
That was awesome. We learned a lot about both of you during this chat. Well done!!
Tim Foust singing all the part in Du Wop songs is something to hear! Absolutely incredible, total control.
This was awesome! Tim is such a fun guy, and he really looked like he was enjoying this. Can't wait for more of your podcasts! 💜
This was so fun to see. Tim seems so down to earth and just such a cool guy. My home fry heart was just ecstatic for this interview
No doubt I listened till the end! Thank you both!
Amazing! Thanks for listening :)
Appreciate the time both of you put into this. The reality tv side of competitions was eye opening..
I'm so glad that you got to do this with someone you respect so much, Peter. I'm happy that the two of you are able to work together as peers and as friends. I hope nothing but the best of things for you in the future, hope that all of the ideas you have for your channel, all of the directions you choose to take in your career and personal life, work out exactly as you hope they will.
My favorite piece of new information about Tim? He likes to snorkel! Who knew? Fun bit of information.
Oh, you asked who you should interview next. Um...I have no idea, really. However, if they're also a bass singer who does as you and Tim do, teaches others, may I suggest that you each showcase your teaching by giving one another a new exercise, or teach a new technique? It would be riveting, to me at least, to see the process of both teaching and learning as a professional.
Really enjoyed this, thanks Peter and Tim ❤
Really enjoyed this...and listening to these 2 base voices speaking....heavenly!
Thanks to both Peter and Tim! I will admit I listened to it in two segments, but I really enjoyed it. I appreciate that a lot of your conversation revolved around the skills and tools it takes to be a good bass-I learned a lot. I’ve heard Tim interview before but this was unique because there was already an understanding of “how low can he go” so you could delve right into other topics. It also seemed obvious that y’all had communicated before because you both seemed relaxed..
What a wonderful interview. I have never enjoyed one more. Peter, I watch your analysis all the time and enjoy learning from you. TIM --- I watched it to the end! And let me tell you, I'm eagerly awaiting the birth of another great-grand baby, so you can guess my age range. I was raised on gospel music. At one point I took voice lessons (great story -- My teacher ended up in jail for some random reason, so much for lessons). I had been tagged as an alto/tenor in the junior high choir. Then my voice teacher told me I was a high soprano. Imagine my confusion. But I found out the higher I trained and sang in choir performances, the lower I could sing. So I ended up being a gal that could sing everything from high soprano to tenor with the men. What a hoot. Now I find from listening to y'all that I was doing something right and didn't ever know it. Guess I better start practicing for karaoke. Tim, see y'all next time you come to Atlanta. I had to move back here from Florida, so give me something to live for, please! Love both of y'all. Do This Again!!!!!
Two bass legends in one call is a dream come true
Thanks for listening to us grumble at each other!
@@PeterBarber Thank YOU for sharing!
Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the two of you discuss music.
A great interview with the legend Tim Foust.
You did probably the best interview that I have heard anyone do with tim.i knew most of it but did learn some and learned more about you. Love that Tim likes to perform in the Pacific Northwest as I am from Washington state and absolutely love Home Free. Hopefully you get to interview the rest of the group.
So glad you enjoyed it (and learned something new)!
@PeterBarber That is a weird thing that basses have the widest range. As a 21 year old basso profundo with a lower voice than Eric, I can still sing tenor a really raspy Chris Stapleton sounding tenor but still can do it. I have bad acid reflux, which damaged my vocal cords. My comfortable range is A0 to E4 in chest but can reach the 5th octave.
@@bronsonleach3573A0 in chest? That's damn near impossible. It's probably chest-fry, if not just a compressed fry.
@xfrostyresonance8614 No I have bad acid reflux. It caused my voice to drop. My vocal cords have scar tissue on them. I will not kid you I make Optimus Prime sound like a tenor. I don't use fry because that doesn't feel to good and ruins the sound. I just relax to sing C0 to A0. I have recorded my lower range. I speak in the first octave most of the day so C2 sounds high on me.
@@bronsonleach3573 In that case, you're close to being UNABLE to speak. It's actually kinda cool that you still can, let alone sing, without that much pain
I’ve never been a huge country fan, so I don’t follow HF as closely as some do, but I’m becoming a big fan of Tim’s just because he’s such a gracious guy. A lot of your interviewees come across as very nice people, but Tim has taken the time to get to know something a about your channel and The Bass Gang’s work so that he can talk about what YOU do, and noticing your accomplishments. It says a lot about who he is. Add to that the man’s elevator pitch could be reading the buttons on the elevator-that voice!
Hearing both of their deep vocals during their conversation is even amazing
I watched the whole thing! Love you and Tim. It was fun hearing all about music. Learned some things about the Sing Off. Did not know Tim loves to snorkel. I’ve only done it in Hawaii and had a blast with it. Saw eels, tropical fish and turtles. I’m sort of like his wife Jenika. The thoughts of scuba diving kind of freak me out. Deep water kinds of bothers me a bit. It shouldn’t because I love the ocean but there you are. Just a nice conversation between you two. I had no idea opera took that much work. I should have known but just didn’t. Congrats to both of you for all your music success. May it continue!!!😍🥰
Thanx Peter and Tim. Listening to you chat softly in my ears is the best innerbody massage you can get 😎😊
You guys all enunciate so well, that i can understand the words, which I love. It's beautiful!
I’ve really enjoyed this collaborative discussion, it’s very interesting! Peter, I live your reaction/analysis vids and Tim, it goes without saying that you guys (Home Free) are always amazing in all that you do.
Great interview... These boys right here are a software all their own..An acapella group like this comes once in a lifetime and Home Free is it.. This group of men are going to be remembered forever.. I've been following them for over 16 years and still I want more from them they are just Aliens.. I will follow them to the ends of the Earth love my Home Free... I am a Home Frie forever 🏡🆓🏡🍟
Great interview!! So happy you got a chance to chat with legendary Tim!! Can’t wait to see more interviews!!
Always love hearing an interview with Tim
Great interview! Thanks for talking to Tim and sharing it with us!
honestly an amazing grumble session, can't wait to see more of this from both of you!
Reminds me of Matt Fouch's interviews with basses.. Great work!
Yep! I squealed when you and Tim said hi on this video. Great interview. 😊
This was well worth (almost) two hours of my day. 😍 I always love these in depth conversations. And since rediscovered music as an adult this whole package, not only the performance, is really interesting. So thank you!
Thanks Peter - that was a lot of fun! Would love to see another collab in the future with you guys!
Such a great interview. Really appreciate you and Tim Foust for doing it. ❤️
Thank you Peter, so great to hear you two talk about music! I love music! Thanks again!
Great interview!! Thank you both for doing this.
Love, love, love hearing the two of you rumble at each other!
@Tim Foust and Peter..
.this was such a fun and educational interview. Thank you to both of you!!! I have always enjoyed your reaction analysis on the music videos. Good luck to both of you in your musical careers and upcoming concerts!!! Looking forward to more content from Peter.
Was great listening to the questions you had for Tim! As a super fan, I knew the answers but honestly knowing the musical knowlege between you two is informative and entertaining. Great job! Can wait to see more of your interviews!
I love listening to both Tim and the Bass Gang. You, Peter, and Tim, have truly taught me a lot about singing that I didn't know. I know about singing from low alto to first soprano, and I can do so pretty well. (nowhere as well as you guys do, but well) and I've always been interested in the "other end of the range". Thank you for all that you have done in showing and instructing me in how you do what you do so well. I hope and pray I am able to hear a lot more from all of you. God bless.
That was a fascinating interview with Tim and totally riveting listening to two amazing bass singers talk about their experiences .... the time passed so quickly!
This was a very interesting and insightful interview! Thank you so much for this, I can't wait to see more episodes of this podcast❤
I really enjoyed listening to this podcast. I’m not a singer nor do I play any instrument, however, I love all music. Listening to how it all comes together is so fascinating. Thank you both Peter and Tim.
What a great interview, it was more like you were both being interviewed, learned stuff about you both.
I really enjoyed listening to the two of you talk/ Even learned a few things. Thank you Peter and Tim. Take care of yourselves.
Great Interview Tim and Peter!! Tim is so laid back and so talented!!
Great Post, Peter. Very impressive. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you so much ❤️ This was amazing!
Excellent interview. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of behind the scenes, so many people just think anybody can sing but don't know all the rest of it
Great job peter!!!! Nicely done keeping it natural and flowing. You are a pro.
Loved this. Can't wait for more
Love hearing these back stories!
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview! Peter, you where well-prepared with good questions, and you & Tim worked to keep the conversation flowing. Too many high points to mention, but the discussion on reality TV was very good. (Not a fan of reality TV.) The low point? When Tim said Home Free was working to tour LESS! Ack! Not that I blame them; being away from family is a huge sacrifice. As far as who to interview next, I'd suggest Austin Brown. He, like Tim, has many side projects. His newest release Hers Aint Mine has gone crazy viral. It would be interesting comparing the two techniques -- yours, opera & Austin, music theater. Also, bass vs high tenor. BTW, where I volunteer, hear BJ Thomas singing Hooked On A Feeling every day; I prefer the The Bass Gang's version by far! Much more musically interesting!
Great interview. Love Tim and he is so down to earth
This was an absolute blast - learned so much from you both! Thanks for this!!!!
What a great interview! 👍 Super interesting conversation and you both were so genuine. Loved it! ❤ Thanks Peter and Tim Foust for making this happen!! As a big fan of Tims I am reminded of the Saskatoon Canada show where he gave me a hand slap at the end if the show! 🖐️🖐️ Made my night! 😂
This was so enjoyable, and informative. Thank you Peter for wonderful interview...and Thank you Tim for being you insight.
This series is gonna be amazing!
You know what's funny? Peter has on a shirt that says Brownsville Market, and there is a town in south east Texas named Brownsville. My youngest lived there for awhile.
Absolutely wonderful interview, love the questions you chose.
I would love to watch you analyze Season 4 of The Sing-Off. Voiceplay and Home Free were on that season, but there were a couple of other really great groups, too.
I just added Home Free on Pandora, can’t believe I never thought to look for you there! Only watched videos on TH-cam! I’m a lifetime northern Minnesotan, love ALL seasons, ice racing one of the best things for winter, sometimes never shut car off all day so warm!
Enjoyed the conversation...all of it. I mentally contributed my comments throughout as if I were there. Anyway, I did learn a few things. I have always wondered about in ear monitors, but I have never taken time to read about them, so I really tuned into that part 😊. I would Love Love for Tim to do a southern gospel album. I do enjoy watching/listening to reactions to Home Free when they are first-time reactions (whether or not they are truly "first time" reactions, I don't know, but I still enjoy those.). Home Free's many videos make my heart happy! I love the humor behind so many of them, and with others, as mentioned, like the How Great Thou Art video, the scenery is amazingly breathtaking and the perfect backdrop for the song! I wondered if Tim was going to mention Rob's opera background at first, then it came up again, and he did. Such talent, well, so much talent from all the Home Free fellas. Finally, I get lost in their music, and I do often forget it is a cappella! Thanks for the conversation!
They really are 1st-time reactions! Glad you are enjoying all the content, and this conversation as well :]
thanks for the interview
Thanks for the heads up on the european tour! I got myself a ticket. Looking forward to hearing Home Free at Koncerthuset
Great interview. I rally enjoyed it. 😊
So interesting! Thank you both!
This is a great interview🙂. You know when to talk and when to listen and it’s really a skill. great job.
I agree Peter was really awesome with the pacing and great questions....he got a lot out of Tim....pertinent questions, get nice long answers
That is a really insightful comment
