Like i said before, Home Free should have a concert/reunion of all former and current members and sing all the songs that they sing from old covers to newly created ones/originals.
That is an amazing idea!
Great idea!
They can even bring guess like Avi kaplan, Cam, etc. They can even mix and match them all together for every act.
I thought the same thing.all the members together would sound amazing
I really enjoy seeing Adam laughing and smiling
This is more fun than the spreadsheet/timeline of members coming and going. So glad Adam is still going strong. He is so full of talent!
Matt: check Wikipedia!
Me; who added the line about the boat back in 2015: 👋🏼
I’m so glad you guys didn’t quit!! You have brought so much joy and wonderful music into so many people’s lives. I can’t imagine...I don’t ever want to imagine...life without Home Free.
I love the history of things I find interesting. Home Free has been my go to for 6 years now. Nice to hear the history. This is the most I have heard Adam talk...lol
I went to Mankato East High School when Home Free did all these gigs for high schools before they got really well known. We loved it when they came and performed for our choir, and I really think we got inspired to be creative and passionate about music. I was a senior when they were on The Sing-Off and it felt like we were sharing a hometown secret!
That's awesome!
These origins are good ... they form the inception and early growth of a GREAT IDEA ... but, IT FLOURISHED WITH ONLY ONE OF THESE HERE .... Adam Rupp. Brother & founder Chris is the brains and emboldened force behind the band ... deserves credit for the group staying together as well. Indeed as noted - The inclusion of THE INCREDIBLE BASS (And Baritone, Tenor) of Tim Foust set them apart form many A Capella Groups that made the grade to some level .... and when running across the best High Tenor anyone has heard = Austin Brown ..... they were one slot away from perfection .... Since the TV awarded money, Distinction and notoriety ...... CHANCE .... it was and is Phenomenal !!!
Last winter was a really tough time emotionally. Everything, changed after I watched Movin On for the first time, and cried myself to sleep and became a Home Fry. I will be watching my first Home Free livestream show soon. I am so Full of Cheer! Your solo and Home Free music has brought me so much healing, joy and comfort, I can’t thank you enough! God bless!
Why did I expect the SVU duh duh after “this is there story” 😂
Love hearing the story from creation.
Thanks boys for putting this video up. I'm a new Fry, so this has been brilliant finding out how the awesomeness started. Love Home Free. Hope you put some more on. 🤗🤗🤗 loved hearing Adam talking and laughing so much.
Same :)
Hung out with Home Free after a concert for The Sing Off Tour. Chris was the one band member who made us feel welcome.
As a fellow Southern Minnesotan, my toes feel cold just thinking about you driving around with no heat. Hope you all had some warm boots and clothes! Thanks for not giving up!
Wait - What?! Adam really speaks sometimes? 😂 Never heard him talking so much 😁
Hello, Chris and Adam. It is hard to believe you are old enough to have a 20 year anniversary. This was fun to view. Chris, your hair looks awesome.
This is so interesting to see the true beginnings of Home Free
What a story, this is so interesting. I've been a Home Free fan for a long time and I love that I'm finally able to hear the entire backstory of how the band formed! Thanks Adam, Chris, and Matt!
I hve actually watched the video of ur "worst night ever" & U poor people went thru absolute HELL!!!! gud on U 4 ur tru grit & determination 2 not give up there & then, U really R an inspiration 2 any1 who is thinking about starting a music career. I found this 1st part of the "History of Home Free" very interesting, I will B watching out 4 the nxt 1 :-)
So glad there is a Home Free. Miss you Chris.
Thanks you for persevering guys, cause right now Home Free's music is everything to so many people. The group helped so many of us through the pandemic and especially through Lockdown, You may even have saved a few lives. Cheers!
Finally the history of my favorite group
Thank you for sharing Home Free’s history. Fun listening to you guys reminiscing. And so glad you didn’t give up that night of horror.
I'm so glad yinz didn't just quit, because I am totally obsessed with Home Free! When I'm feeling down, I go on TH-cam and look up one of your songs and I'll be listening to different songs for hours... until I realize how late it is. I love yinz so much!!! ❤️
I really appreciate the background history of Home Free & all of Chris's reviews & personal stories on the videos!
I need to see that DVD.
You're better off not....
This is fantastic. I only discovered Home Free during lockdown here in England. I have followed you ever since and love all your music, both as Home Free and the various solo and collaborations with other artists. Love Chris's solo work and collaborations too! It's so interesting to hear your history, direct from yourselves. You all seem so down to earth and genuinely nice people. I wish you'd come to England so I could hear you in person!
Thanks for this Home Free history. So glad y’all kept going!
Thank you so much for doing the history of Home Free! Can't wait for episode 2!!
Just watching the first part of this. So glad that you, Adam, Matt tell the backstory of how Home Free started up. I am a new fan of Home Free. You,Adam and Matt did a great job of tell different stories.. Can't wait of what stories we will hear about in the second part..
I've been a fan for years, great to hear your story....thank you for sharing it and your musical talent with all of us!
This is awesome! Thank you so much for putting this together and sharing it with us!
I love Home Free and Chris Rupp. I really have enjoyed getting to hear Chris ' voice and his choice of music. So, I guess we get the best of both worlds; Home Free with Chris and Chris singing solo or with other people.
Congratulations on your success, both Chris and Home Free!
So nice to meet Matt! And to hear the history! Happy Holidays!!
Thanks, Chris, Adam & Matt for this. It's interesting - I've recently seen the footage from North Branch here on YOutube. I am so glad you didn't quit that morning!! And it's fun to learn who all has been involved in this so amazingly talented group! Can't wait for the next installment!
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I am fairly new to Home Free. I just found them last year but love everything about them. I don't know any of the history, so to hear it first hand from the founders is great. I am a huge fan of your brother Adam & his amazing talent. We rarely get to hear him talk, so really enjoy listening to his input. You guys have a great memory of what happened. Look forward to hearing more of this series. PS: I watched the video recently about the worst night with the van & trailer that you eluded to here.
Thank you Chris, Adam and Matt loved the back ground video and how it all started.
Love this Chris! I knew a lot of these facts already but loved hearing y’all telling the different stories. I’ve been following you & Home Free since the Sing Off. Your music has helped me get through some really rough times over the years. Thank you.
Thank you all Home Free, your music has brought joy and healing! During my first concert last night, hearing Do You Hear What I Hear was one of the most breathtaking live musical experiences I have ever heard! Phenomenal! 🤯. I cried tears of joy. 🥰 And when a Home Fry said during the encore: “Do the Butt Remix!” I was like yaass, 🙌 because it is (with Full of Cheer, All About that Bass bloopers, and many of your videos that will always make me 😁😂 on a tough day.
I loved this so much. I can't wait for the next installment.
This is really surreal for me, finding Home Free YEARS after, and then finding out y'all are from my hometown! But I was a Scarlet, and 7 years ahead of y'all, so we never crossed paths. But you blow me away with your talents, and so many Home Fries are so glad y'all started this journey!
oh wow, thats cool. Mankatoans unite!
@@ChrisRuppOfficial for real!! This was really crazy, listening to y'all talking about places I've been to or knew, like watching your past though someone else's eyes. And I saw a video that Home Free filmed years and years ago, can't recall which song it was, but it was in Minneopa State Park, and I told my fiancee I recognized it, and I was like "is it...?" And it was just neat to feel that connection! Just like watching Seven Bridges Road and recognizing all of the Minneapolis landmarks!
@@primalmojo9599 yup, that was the hunter Hayes medley!
Thanks for putting this together, Chris!
It's so wonderful to hear about the glamorous world of show biz to lift us out of the normal humdrum of everyday life.
So what I got from this is bass singers are to Home Free as drummers are to Spinal Tap!
Well, at least until Tim..... Great histories and stories!
I AM A NEW FRY. EVER SONG IS FIRE. 🔥 🔥
I'm loving this history! So, do I have it straight... you've had 2 or 3 Joe's, 2 Chris's and now 2 Adam's? SO, so glad you didn't quit!! Thanks guys...
Next up two tims
@@sagetatakis8258 we already have "between two Tim's", have you seen that?
I love hearing about the history of the evolution of the music I love. This type of content is just so interesting to watch. It really makes you appreciate the work and tribulations that it takes to be in that type of business and blossom into what it is today.
I think you guys are fantastic and Home Free is my FAVORITE GROUP ❤
Wow, you guys came from humble roots to get where you are now. This is inspiring!
This was so fun to listen to! I've always wanted to know how Home Free got started. Man that story at the end was crazy!
I was so excited when I got the notification for this and after watching, I wasn't disappointed. Thanks so much for sharing the history behind Home Free--can't wait for episode 2!
Thanks guys!!
That original Home Free symbol looks like a cattle brand. (I went to HS on a working cattle ranch.) 🌵
Oh boy. Did anybody else pick up on some veiled animosity here? It sure answers some questions I've had. It's not necessarily a bad thing because I think it played a part as to why Home Free is what it is today. A fantastic group of individuals that sound phenomenal together❣
?
Well done Chris!! Thank you sharing your memories of the founding & early years of Home Free. I am looking forward to future episodes.
I enjoyed this so much! Cool to hear y'all's memories from the early days. Can't wait for part 2!
This was so much fun! I can't wait for the next episode. What a great idea! Thanks Chris, Adam and Matt. For this and for Home Free 🥰🙏
This was a great gift from you to us. Thank you.
Cool stories. So that first CD isn't in the wild? That's a shame 😄
Can't wait for part 2
I loved hearing all of these. Thanks guys!!! I can not wait for episode 2.
Love to hear these stories!! Thank you for this
Love hearing all this backstory.
Chris, you look so different with hair, I like it.
So interesting to hear about HFs start. Glad you guys stuck with it & didn't quit!
I love adam.... Dia pendiam sekali, quiet man haha mysterious guy 😂 i love you 😁
I'm obsessed with Home Free as well.♥️
Thank you for sharing your story. Very interesting. I've had cars like your van before. This makes all of you even more relatable.
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank you!
I'm a novice Home Fry, I can only identify Chris, Adam, Adam, Rob, Tim and Austin in the Home Free videos. But maybe after I soak up this terrific series (well, the 1st one's great, anyway) I will be able to do better. Thanks for this history, and thanks for the great music (in all of the various combinations of performers).
Oh wow :O I didn't know Home Free has been continuing on for so long. Thank you for sharing your story! :D
Chris mentioned Four Shadow when they were talking about band names. They were another small Acapella group that I thought was really good. I saw them in Duluth many many years ago.
January was 2 months before I was born!! wow!
Which year?

mankato still loves ya!
Love this! ❤️❤️
Thanks guys!! 🎶😎🎶
This was great. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I watched the video you posted from the horrible night you spoke about in the last part of this video! I can imagine how difficult and discouraging it must have been. So glad y’all didn’t give up! Looking forward to the next video!
Awesome episode. Can't wait to see more.
I don’t know what it is (outside of the obvious talent) about Home Free but you guys always bring a smile to my face…magic! You’re the only group I listen to now and I gave a library of over 8400 songs to choose from. Thanks
This is so fascinating! Thanks for sharing!
this was amazing, cant wait for episode 2!!!
Fun to watch!
"In fear of him trying to do the beatbox" ... Funny, sure as heck worked out.
OK, I've never known a Scruggs, not a common name, any relation to the obvious, at least if you ever watched Hee Haw? Heck of a talent, that dude could flat whip up on a banjo. Adam is most definitely that level of beat boxer now, all in all he is numero uno, for me. His air drum solo put it over the top.
"What Chris doesn't know ..." This was beat on Chris day, apparently. Is that everyday?
Pays to name your group of his grandpa's boat. That's what granparents are supposed to do, spoil grand kids. Heck of an investment in that case.
You do realize there are actually folks out there that could have helped you with that van, right? JIC, they are called mechanics. :-/
This was wonderfully entertaining, thank you!!!
This is so cool! so glad you didn't quit.
This was great, I loved watching you 3, thank you so much.
Awww never heard this before. It was a struggle in the beginning wasn’t it? As a huge fan I’m so glad you kept going in the face of adversity. I’m sure success is all the more sweeter now. So nice to hear you all reminisce. Xoxo
Love this! Don’t make us wait too long for Episode 2!!! 😁
Hooray for Gustie grads who have made it to the big time! I am also a proud graduate of Gustavus!
Awesome job! Thanks for sharing!
Chris, I Loved this!!! Thank you!!! Blessings..... :)
Great story
Can’t wait for Episode 2!
Please do part 2 what a awesome 👏🏻 video
Thank you for putting this out, can't wait for future episodes. I'm a fairly new Home Fry and hearing about the beginnings of the band just adds more depth and understanding to how hard you guys worked to get this group to where it is now.
Thank you for sharing your story. ❤
Thank y’all for doing this (and also for not quitting). Can’t wait for part 2!
It’s so fun and interesting listening to the stories you guys have to tell! I would imagine you have quite a few!
All I can say is this was very interesting learning the origins rom the beginning and can only hope this series continues.
BRAVOOOO!
Thanks so much for the video. Very interesting. I just love your music and your talent. Truly God given...
