this was shot in the Austrian Alps. Home Free was there to perform at a festival. They fell in love with the scenery and flew in their video team to do this. :) thank you for your reaction. Yes, when Tim sings Chance takes over the bass line and Adam Rupp is normally their beatboxer but sings tenor here. He rarely sings a solo part--his choice. He doesn't feel comfortable singing. Austin sings the highest.
I saw them do this in person in Akron, Ohio, they did it as an encore, WITHOUT A MICROPHONE, standing in the middle of the stage. It was just as beautiful and yes, I cried.
@@carladewitt1947 I saw them back in December of 2019 in an indoor theater setting. I'm not sure they will do that at an outdoor fair type of setting but who knows? Regardless, I am certain it will be an awesome, awesome show. I am so jealous that you're getting to see them.
@@mindybond9036 I also bought tickets to see them in Evansville, IN December 1. I imagine they might be into some Christmas music by then. Regardless, it will be interesting to compare the two shows. I am super psyched.
Adam had just started learning to sing. I heard he taught himself to sing just like he taught himself beatboxing. He has so much determination and self-discipline.
I love Adam. He can be funny, serious and sometimes even truthfully blunt. He even learned Korean (?} I believe for one of their skits. Check out 'Guilty Pleasures'.
My Church by Maren Morris is the teaser!!!! It's a fan favorite! They are so incredible. They could sing anything they want and I am entranced. I really enjoy your reactions to this awesome group!
Just a clarification on the “It Is Well” backstory - The slave story was actually the writer of “Amazing Grace.” The writer of “It Is Well” wrote his song after a shipwreck his wife and children were on, and the wife alone survived - all his children died. And that was after having already lost another son and his house to a fire.
As the story further goes, this was 1873 and Horatio G Spafford was on his way to get his wife and bring her back home after the tragedy and was aboard ship, and wrote the song after the captain told him at the spot the other ship had gone down and where his daughters had died.
They were in Austria for a festival and decided that it was so beautiful that they needed to film here. They actually got ahold of their film crew and had them come over. They have a From the Vault video about this song. Chance beard mustache is actually a bass but he sings baritone for the group unless Tim has a lead. Austin is actually the sky high tenor. Overalls (Rob) is the lead tenor lower (2 tenor). Adam Rupp has a voice range like Rob, but he doesn't sing solo very often. This is an absolutely beautiful song. Enjoyed watching your reactions to this song.
I’m not a church going Christian and haven’t been since a kid, but I’d go to church to listen to them do this one. 🙏🏻😁 First time I heard this one, it took my breath away and I teared up. The harmonies and the talent of this group is epic. They really take you places. Great reaction! Have you guys done their cover of “Blue Ain’t Your Color” yet? Stellar harmonies in that one, too. Great reaction too! 💯🥰
Beatboxer Adam Rupp is singing lead for "It Is Well". He rarely sings lead, so this is a special one for the Home Fries. And those high harmony bits that go on forever while Austin is singing lead? That's Adam. He has a gorgeous voice.
@@TheLadyDraconus Absolutely! Like the other Home Free members, he's just insanely talented. As well as beatboxing and singing, he also plays multiple instruments. And I think the absolute best musical arrangement HF has ever done was Adam's arrangement of Do You Hear What I Hear?
@@lschoenrank Yup. (For anyone reading, not just the person I replied to,) Adam's college degree is in musical performance: trumpet. He uses a lot of advanced trumpet techniques like double- and triple-tonguing and circular breathing in his beatboxing. But, honestly, he also just has lungs for days.
With those new headphones now, you need to listen to Misty Mountains with Tim Foust and Peter Hollens. They've actually released a video on the making of this video and of course they are not actually singing this live on the mountain. One that will probably blow your mind at Christmas is Do You Hear What I Hear. It was made with the original band member Chris Rupp and was an arrangement by Adam Rupp.
Wooohoooo. You guys have just touched the tip of the iceberg of HomeFree. Around 150 covers/originals another one coming out Friday. Beautiful harmonies in that one. The cover of One Man Band by Old Dominion This one is soooooooo beautiful!!!! All harmonies no beatboxing In this one This was done in the Swiss Alps when they were over there at a festival. Most of their crew was not there they saw this and said we have to record this song and called their crew. Everyone flew there to record this it was done with a drone(s) They had this one in their back pocket waiting for the perfect place to do a video. I do believe they found it . Loved your reaction You have them correct and Adam chance (aka chance) does take over the bass when Tim has the lead. Tim and Chance go back and forth in some songs on the bass and then (like in this one) they hit you with the double bass and just blow you away. Composed by Phillip Paul Bliss Lyrics by Horatio G. Spafford
It was filmed in the Swiss Alps. My father was a preacher so I have heard and sung this song hundreds of times. This is by far the most gorgeous version I've heard (Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill come second). My favorite hymn is "It is Well With my Soul," so I love that they use a bit of it. I love watching you guys react because it's obvious you truly love music.
It's called "My Church", lol. It's a cover of the Maren Morris song. And yes...its really good.Thanks for continuing to react to Home Free. Just love them.💗
You need to listen to their live outdoor show in Kearney MO. They looses power during a thunderstorm. They ask the audience to come in close. They sing it totally acapella without a sound system!! Amazing with thunder & lightning all around!! Very spiritual performance!! Great Reaction!!
Austin is the high tenor, Rob (overalls) is the lead tenor, Tim is the deep bass, but can go up to tenor, Chance is the baritone, and does bass when Tim is singing the vocals, and Adam Rupp is the freak-of-nature beatboxer. Of course, you've already seen they don't always stick to those 'roles' and it's impressive to see Rob and Austin trade off and blend on the tenor parts, but Chance seamlessly takes over the backing bass when Tim takes over the vocals and it amazes me every single time. The teaser at the end is a cover of "My Church" by Maren Morris, and YES watch that one too. You guys are **almost** ready to watch "Mayday." Knowing their normal roles, it will BLOW YOUR MIND. Keep up the fantastic content! Love you guys!
Like we all say. Home Free can sing the phone book and make it wonderful I knew you would love that last bass note hitting you smack in the face saying we know this is what you were waiting for BAM!!! Great analogy with the fireworks. My church another great song to react to
Yep, Chance does the bass when Tim is singing lead. Adam Rupp has a great tenor voice but he prefers to beat box. The really high tones you hear in the background when Austin is singing lead come from Adam. They have a "Behind the Scenes" about the making of this video & you can hear some of the singing. From what I've read, they end many of their concerts with this song - and they do it without mics. I'm supposed to see them in October so maybe I'll find out for myself. I've heard this one dozens of times & I always get goose bumps! The teaser was "My Church" - one of my favorites. Another really nice one, IMO, is "In the Blood". Love your videos & enjoy the analysis of the harmonies.
I've seen them three times so far. This was amazing live. Their 9 to 5 live version is something you should see. All 5 of them are showcased in a beatbox breakdown. Definitely a show stopper in their concerts.
It’s the harmonies that build to the end that always get me. And that can be appeciated by anyone. They have a behinds the scenes video about the making of the video and yes, they are pre-recorded. But you can hear them sing live on several TH-cam videos. I’d love to have you react to “Blue Ain’t Your Color”. I know someone will also suggest “All About That Bass” BUT you need to do the outtakes with that one, also. A Two-fer. Thanks for this reaction. [You are confusing the stories of “Amazing Grace” which was written by a reformed slave trader and the story of “It Is Well With My Soul” which was written by a man who after losing everything, sent his family on ahead to England while he finished some business. Then he lost his children as the ship sank. He and his wife became missionaries]
Many years ago I sang in an a capella group. We had the great honor of singing at Easter mass in the Salzburg Cathedral. This was the first performance of our tour and the first time singing in a cathedral. The second we started singing, I was overcome by the pure sound created by the acoustics. It was a feeling that I never expected to feel again. Then I heard this song and it brought back that feeling. I have loved Home Free since their time on the Sing Off and am in complete awe of their talent. Thank you for continuing to react to them!
love listening to your reactions , especially for Home Free and yes you describe the music to a tee, its nice to hear reactors that have musical knowledge , will be subscriber for as long as you guys do this , Peace
That teaser video was "My Church" and it is a great one !!! This video was shot in the Austrian Alps, Home Free were there for an acapella festival and decided that the scenery was so stunning that they would fly in their video crew and do a video. So glad they did, the result is Amazing and I listen to it often. I am loving your Home Free journey and your knowledge.
Ok, yall are sooooo appreciating those heavenly harmonies, I strongly suggest Do you hear what I hear-insane harmonies, beatboxing, and scenery- Adam Rupp arranged it.... and/or O'Holy night-completely acapella as well as this one.
The man that wrote "IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL" wife and children were on a ship going to ENGLAND. THERE WAS A SHIPWRECK and all of his cb ildren drowned. His wife survived. When she reached ENGLAND, she telegraphed her husband and said all is lost! He told her to wait there and he would join her. He, of course, went by ship also. When he reached the point where his children drowned, he penned "IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL". HE WAS SO DEVOUT THAT HE WAS PRAISING GOD AND TELLING HIM THAT EVEN THOUGH HE HAD LOST SO MUCH, HIS FAITH WAS STILL INTACT!!! UNFORTUNATELY, THE REMAINDER OF HIS LIFE WAS ALSO TRAGIC!
The tease clip was of "That's My Church", cover of Marion Morris. I thoroughly enjoy you guys interacting to the songs...your break downs are eye opening. Very very well done!!!
My grandmothers favorite one…..but her fave version was the one Elvis Presley did, but she would have the King of Rock and Roll step aside for these guys.
Def a fav of all time. These guys are sooo gifted. You guys are gifted as well, I really enjoy listening to insight from people who KNOW what’s going on
Great reaction and analysis. This was another incredible arrangement by their wonderful producer Darren Rust (who they call the ‘sixth’ Home Free member). I recommend some original songs like Cross That Bridge, Love Me Like That, or an older one like Champagne Taste (On a Beer Budget).
Thank you so much for reacting to this amazing song! Loved your comments and so glad you got new headphones so you could hear "How Great" this song really is! Lol
Seen the guys do this at a concert and it was so very beautiful.. Could have heard a pin drop in that theater... Can't Stop The Feeling and Meet In The Middle are 2 more great videos.. So glad to have you two on this Home Free journey...
New sub. Really enjoying your Home Free reactions! I’m hoping the other Home Fries will pile on and agree that another MUST is their I Can’t Outrun You cover as another amazing vocals only (no percussion/beat-boxing) - Chance directed it (and Helplessly Hoping - both fantastic videos). There are so many other great suggestions/options their catalogue is deep and varied. Take Me Home Country Roads is another - they spent 5 years arranging until they felt they couldn’t perfect it further - it will blow your mind! Can’t wait to see/hear you do those and many others! 🇨🇦🎶
Didn't go thru the 194 comments, so not sure if this was mentioned. But.... one outside show in Missouri, which was a big deal, was rained out. So the fans all ran to a covered area until the rain slowed down. The guys walked up hill, thru the rain and stood on a picnic table and sang this song. No microphones, just hushed audience and pure greatness. Find the video.
Don't think you can go wrong with any Home Free song, but would recommend My Church, American Pie (with Don McLean), Woman/Amen, In the Blood, and Mayday.
well you can see a video of them doing this live at a concert that was rained out and they went to the crowd under a tent and did it without any music assist , and it was perfect, so probably no track at all in this
So glad you guys reacted to this gem! This song was my introduction to Home Free years ago, and I was instantly a fan. This is also one of their two songs that I call Sheer Vocal Perfection; the other one, which I strongly encourage you to check out, is their cover of the Crosby, Stills & Nash song "Helplessly Hoping." Great job as always!
IT WAS FILMED IN THE AUSTRIAN ALPS. MAKE SURE YOU SEE THE CHURCH AT THE END. THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RENDITION OF THIS SONG THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD. AT THIS TIME, CHANCE ONLY SANG BARITONE AND HAD NOT ACCOMPLISHED THE BASS OCTAVE UNTIL TIM TAUGHT HIM HOW! YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW, CHANCE CAN NOT GO AS LOW AS TIM"THE DRAGON". PRAISE GOD FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL SCENERY. YOU HAVE THIS SONG AND AMAZING GRACE CONF- USED.
"How great Thou art" - originally from a Swedish hymn by Carl Boberg set to the tune we know which is based on a Swedish traditional melody. The words were translated into German and Russian. It was translated into English from the Russian version by a missionary from England, Stuart K. Hine, his version we know so well dates from as recently as 1949... "It is well" - two stories mixed were up. The author Horatio Spafford was a businessman from Chicago who lost a lot in the great fire of 1871. He supported D L Moody and sent his family ahead by ship across the Atlantic to help with a mission in the UK, intending to follow later. The ship sunk after a collision at sea and all four daughters died but his wife survived, sending a telegram "Saved alone". (The slave trader turned hymn writer was John Newton of "Amazing grace" fame from an earlier generation in the UK). This recording by Home Free is one of my favourites. Thanks for taking the time to listen and share your reactions.
Do you know how many times I've watched this performance? I still get chills. One of their live shows got rained out and they hunkered down under cover with some of their fans. One of their fans recorded HF performing this without mikes. Still sounded so good even in the rain recorded on a phone.
I’m a PK so I grew up with these two hymns in my blood. I love them both so much. Thank you for this reaction! I loved hearing your memories of your grandparents! When my dad was invited to preach somewhere our family would always sing together too.
It's in my Will that this song and in particular this version is to be played at my memorial service at the very end. I wake up every morning to listening to this, to start my day off ! They filmed this in the Alps region of Austria with a drone. They were there for a music conference
Haven't read through all the comments yet, but did you realize the "it is well" was sung by the beatboxer, Adam Rupp? One of the few times he sings lead and we can hear his beautiful tenor voice! Another great, in-depth reaction! Thanks, guys!
You think the headphones are a game-changer (and they are!) but to see them LIVE --- Dudes, it's an experience!!!! Oh, and the teaser was "My Church" (Marin Morris). There is a video on the making of this "How Great Thou Art" on their channel. Now, with that being said --- get this .... there are like 9 different vids here on the tube of a HF performance that got blanked by a storm, taking out the performance. However, HF performed this song without mics .... it is absolutely awesome!!!!
The way you describe Tim's bass as a rumble of distant thunder, it is so accurate... rather than frightening, it is comforting in a great way. It was also wonderful to hear about your grandfather's band. All the best to you both! P.S. GET IT RUPP!! He KILLS it on "then sings my soul"
Another All a cappella…”HELPLESSLY HOPING”…..a CSN cover…it’s just Awesome ‼️💥‼️. There is a behind the scenes of this one in Austria….so cool. They had been attending an a cappella festival there, & had flown over this & fell in love with it ….so beautiful ‼️❤️‼️ Austin is the High Tenor of the group…He’s classically trained in musical theater…..totally awesome voice. Have you guys done ..WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN”…..it’s something else💥❤️‼️🥰.
(aka) DJ Whisper ~ The story you told about the slave ship is told by this man in such a way that your goosebumps will have goosebumps!! His name is Wintley Phipps. He tells the story in a lead up to him singing Amazing Grace. Please take the time to react to that video. And trust me when I say, when you hear the water crashing against the ships hull....turn your headsets up to 100%. You will not be disappointed. I hope to see your reaction soon. Thanks :)
I can't go through every post here so I don't know if someone has already passed on this information. Home Free - From the Vault - Episode 8 shows the behind the scenes of filming this video. These guys and their crew can be moving and beautiful and serious on moment, then goofy and funny the next. And yes, they are in Austria. The From the Vault series is a lot of fun to watch over and over. The latest one -- Episode 15 -- was dropped August 1, so hopefully #16 will come out in a couple weeks.
Love your reactions and knowledge guys! You have to hear them do this live - you can see more who is singing what. Chance does a lot of the bass with Tim, and also covers it when Tim is singing tenor harmonies! Check out a concert version uploaded by Russell Wolff Productions 🙂
Love your reactions guys. You are such great home fries....and you know a lot more about music than I do so I learn so much from you & you just have so much fun. Glad you got some new headphones.
The teaser is "My Church." In this, Austin carries the third verse and, in this arrangement, Rob ("Overalls" who is normally the tenor 2 {I think Adam Rupp also sings tenor 2?}) is indeed higher in his harmony than several of Austin's notes as the lead, even though Austin is typically tenor 1. And you were right: Chance sings bass when Tim takes lead. The scenery. New Zealand? Oh, sooooo close but 1/2 a world away in the Alps of Austria.
Yes. Chris Rupp (Adam's brother) was the backup bass. When he left, he was replaced by Adam Chance, who has the same role. You can hear Chance clearly hit a low note or two in "Mayday."
I love it! Hey guys, being a Casper native and graduating from NCHS I can literally see in my mind the the fireworks on the 4th of July being set off from the top of C-Hill!!!
You were talking about them singing to their studio track and what it would sound like to be there live. They have behind the scenes videos making some of their songs and they all look serious but live one of them will be singing WAY off key to try to get the others to laugh. I have a feeling their video shoots are a lot of fun. Even their no music videos are entertaining like one where Tim, who is from Texas, visits Adam Rupps family in Minnesota and he is freezing the whole time. You should check those out personally if not on the channel.
this was shot in the Austrian Alps. Home Free was there to perform at a festival. They fell in love with the scenery and flew in their video team to do this. :) thank you for your reaction.

Try their version of Auld Lang Syne, too, because it's gotten forgotten in the crush.

Ok, yall are sooooo appreciating those heavenly harmonies, I strongly suggest Do you hear what I hear-insane harmonies, beatboxing, and scenery- Adam Rupp arranged it....
and/or O'Holy night-completely acapella as well as this one.
That clip at the end is my favorite “My Church” a cover of Maren Morris. Can’t wait for y’all to react to that one!
The man that wrote "IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL" wife and children were on a ship going to ENGLAND. THERE WAS A SHIPWRECK and all of his cb ildren drowned. His wife survived. When she reached ENGLAND, she telegraphed her husband and said all is lost! He told her to wait there and he would join her. He, of course, went by ship also. When he reached the point where his children drowned, he penned "IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL". HE WAS SO DEVOUT THAT HE WAS PRAISING GOD AND TELLING HIM THAT EVEN THOUGH HE HAD LOST SO MUCH, HIS FAITH WAS STILL INTACT!!! UNFORTUNATELY, THE REMAINDER OF HIS LIFE WAS ALSO TRAGIC!
Home Free almost always have a "Making OF" for each video that they do. They call them "From the Vault" and there is one available for this one.
This is the best version of this song ever! Goosebumps every time! Check out their newest one, Crazy! Austin sings in same register as Patsy Cline.
The tease clip was of "That's My Church", cover of Marion Morris. I thoroughly enjoy you guys interacting to the songs...your break downs are eye opening. Very very well done!!!
* Maren 😎
Their new song Brothers in Arms is also full of harmony. It's such a blast to listen to and you guys should check it out
My grandmothers favorite one…..but her fave version was the one Elvis Presley did, but she would have the King of Rock and Roll step aside for these guys.
Def a fav of all time. These guys are sooo gifted. You guys are gifted as well, I really enjoy listening to insight from people who KNOW what’s going on
Thank you for this amazing video especially today on my birthday
Great reaction and analysis. This was another incredible arrangement by their wonderful producer Darren Rust (who they call the ‘sixth’ Home Free member). I recommend some original songs like Cross That Bridge, Love Me Like That, or an older one like Champagne Taste (On a Beer Budget).
Their voices are as majestic as the scenery. Love it
Thank you so much for reacting to this amazing song! Loved your comments and so glad you got new headphones so you could hear "How Great" this song really is! Lol
love this song, this is probably my favorite version of it! beautiful voices just flowing together!
Chance and Tim's low notes at the end blends so well together. Love the duo bass sounds!
Seen the guys do this at a concert and it was so very beautiful.. Could have heard a pin drop in that theater... Can't Stop The Feeling and Meet In The Middle are 2 more great videos.. So glad to have you two on this Home Free journey...
There is a behind the scenes video where you can see them film this. Yes, they get silly too!
that teaser was MY CHURCH , I totally love your reactions and shared knowledge.
New sub. Really enjoying your Home Free reactions!
I’m hoping the other Home Fries will pile on and agree that another MUST is their I Can’t Outrun You cover as another amazing vocals only (no percussion/beat-boxing) - Chance directed it (and Helplessly Hoping - both fantastic videos). There are so many other great suggestions/options their catalogue is deep and varied. Take Me Home Country Roads is another - they spent 5 years arranging until they felt they couldn’t perfect it further - it will blow your mind! Can’t wait to see/hear you do those and many others! 🇨🇦🎶
Didn't go thru the 194 comments, so not sure if this was mentioned. But.... one outside show in Missouri, which was a big deal, was rained out. So the fans all ran to a covered area until the rain slowed down. The guys walked up hill, thru the rain and stood on a picnic table and sang this song. No microphones, just hushed audience and pure greatness. Find the video.
Don't think you can go wrong with any Home Free song, but would recommend My Church, American Pie (with Don McLean), Woman/Amen, In the Blood, and Mayday.
I chuckled watching you guys geek out at the end. It is so nice to see people appreciate the talent and the chords these guys come up with. Next!
They are so awesome! Thanks for the great reaction!
well you can see a video of them doing this live at a concert that was rained out and they went to the crowd under a tent and did it without any music assist , and it was perfect, so probably no track at all in this
So glad you guys reacted to this gem! This song was my introduction to Home Free years ago, and I was instantly a fan. This is also one of their two songs that I call Sheer Vocal Perfection; the other one, which I strongly encourage you to check out, is their cover of the Crosby, Stills & Nash song "Helplessly Hoping." Great job as always!
IT WAS FILMED IN THE AUSTRIAN ALPS. MAKE SURE YOU SEE THE CHURCH AT THE END. THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RENDITION OF THIS SONG THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD. AT THIS TIME, CHANCE ONLY SANG BARITONE AND HAD NOT ACCOMPLISHED THE BASS OCTAVE UNTIL TIM TAUGHT HIM HOW! YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW, CHANCE CAN NOT GO AS LOW AS TIM"THE DRAGON". PRAISE GOD FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL SCENERY. YOU HAVE THIS SONG AND AMAZING GRACE CONF- USED.
"How great Thou art" - originally from a Swedish hymn by Carl Boberg set to the tune we know which is based on a Swedish traditional melody. The words were translated into German and Russian. It was translated into English from the Russian version by a missionary from England, Stuart K. Hine, his version we know so well dates from as recently as 1949...
"It is well" - two stories mixed were up. The author Horatio Spafford was a businessman from Chicago who lost a lot in the great fire of 1871. He supported D L Moody and sent his family ahead by ship across the Atlantic to help with a mission in the UK, intending to follow later. The ship sunk after a collision at sea and all four daughters died but his wife survived, sending a telegram "Saved alone". (The slave trader turned hymn writer was John Newton of "Amazing grace" fame from an earlier generation in the UK).
This recording by Home Free is one of my favourites. Thanks for taking the time to listen and share your reactions.
Such a beautiful song and such a great group of men. Great reaction
The teaser at the end is their cover of “My Church” originally by Marren Morris. It’s amazing and definitely worth a listen
Do you know how many times I've watched this performance? I still get chills. One of their live shows got rained out and they hunkered down under cover with some of their fans. One of their fans recorded HF performing this without mikes. Still sounded so good even in the rain recorded on a phone.
Your reactions are great...you teach me something every time. Thank you!
Its my church and the switch between tim and chance is so smooth its amazing
They've posted a "making of..." video which reflects exactly what you said. They are matching the playback.
I’m a PK so I grew up with these two hymns in my blood.
I love them both so much.
Thank you for this reaction!
I loved hearing your memories of your grandparents!
When my dad was invited to preach somewhere our family would always sing together too.
Soon time for Mayday, now when you know their names
Listen to Peter Hollens feat. Tim Foust "Misty Mountain"
It's in my Will that this song and in particular this version is to be played at my memorial service at the very end. I wake up every morning to listening to this, to start my day off ! They filmed this in the Alps region of Austria with a drone. They were there for a music conference
I am LOVING your reactions to Home Free! Hope you keep going down the rabbit hole :)
They have a behind the scenes thing for this video. I think it's called from the vaults. Something you guys should check out.
Haven't read through all the comments yet, but did you realize the "it is well" was sung by the beatboxer, Adam Rupp? One of the few times he sings lead and we can hear his beautiful tenor voice!
Another great, in-depth reaction! Thanks, guys!
Lesson to Helplessly Hoping. So Beautiful.

We hit that song a few weeks back! So good! 😁😁
You think the headphones are a game-changer (and they are!) but to see them LIVE --- Dudes, it's an experience!!!! Oh, and the teaser was "My Church" (Marin Morris). There is a video on the making of this "How Great Thou Art" on their channel. Now, with that being said --- get this .... there are like 9 different vids here on the tube of a HF performance that got blanked by a storm, taking out the performance. However, HF performed this song without mics .... it is absolutely awesome!!!!
I neeeeed yall to watch their Mayday cover
The way you describe Tim's bass as a rumble of distant thunder, it is so accurate... rather than frightening, it is comforting in a great way. It was also wonderful to hear about your grandfather's band. All the best to you both!
P.S. GET IT RUPP!! He KILLS it on "then sings my soul"
The song previewed at the end of the video is “My Church”. It’s also awesome.
Another All a cappella…”HELPLESSLY HOPING”…..a CSN cover…it’s just Awesome ‼️💥‼️.
There is a behind the scenes of this one in Austria….so cool. They had been attending an a cappella festival there, & had flown over this & fell in love with it ….so beautiful ‼️❤️‼️
Austin is the High Tenor of the group…He’s classically trained in musical theater…..totally awesome voice. Have you guys done ..WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN”…..it’s something else💥❤️‼️🥰.
Joan - good call. Helplessly Hoping is amazing and another vote for When A Man Loves A Woman! Chuck in NE Kansas

Correct--when Tim is singing, Adam Chance--a baritone--takes over the bass. Adam Rupp (beat boxer) is a tenor.
I know your wanting to get away from the a cappella, BUT Peter Holland does a cappella but by himself by layering his own voice in edit. He’s awesome.
DAAAAMN! Good headphones at last. Enjoy the full experience!
You are correct....Adam Chance is a baritone but he is so versatile that he can produce the same 5 octave scale that Tim Foust sings.
(aka) DJ Whisper ~ The story you told about the slave ship is told by this man in such a way that your goosebumps will have goosebumps!! His name is Wintley Phipps. He tells the story in a lead up to him singing Amazing Grace. Please take the time to react to that video. And trust me when I say, when you hear the water crashing against the ships hull....turn your headsets up to 100%. You will not be disappointed. I hope to see your reaction soon. Thanks :)
I can't go through every post here so I don't know if someone has already passed on this information. Home Free - From the Vault - Episode 8 shows the behind the scenes of filming this video. These guys and their crew can be moving and beautiful and serious on moment, then goofy and funny the next. And yes, they are in Austria. The From the Vault series is a lot of fun to watch over and over. The latest one -- Episode 15 -- was dropped August 1, so hopefully #16 will come out in a couple weeks.
That was such a treat. Adam never sings anything solo, so those six pretty notes were cool for us to hear.
Love your reactions and knowledge guys! You have to hear them do this live - you can see more who is singing what. Chance does a lot of the bass with Tim, and also covers it when Tim is singing tenor harmonies! Check out a concert version uploaded by Russell Wolff Productions 🙂
They are singing this live on a mountain in Austria. A drone filmed it. As well as a ground crew.
Only problem with this song (or benefit) is that you listen to it and you feel like you won't need to go to church for a whole year!
Love your reactions guys. You are such great home fries....and you know a lot more about music than I do so I learn so much from you & you just have so much fun. Glad you got some new headphones.
The teaser is "My Church." In this, Austin carries the third verse and, in this arrangement, Rob ("Overalls" who is normally the tenor 2 {I think Adam Rupp also sings tenor 2?}) is indeed higher in his harmony than several of Austin's notes as the lead, even though Austin is typically tenor 1. And you were right: Chance sings bass when Tim takes lead.
The scenery. New Zealand? Oh, sooooo close but 1/2 a world away in the Alps of Austria.
That little teaser is called "my Church" fantastic song guys.Ill be waiting.
Yes. Chris Rupp (Adam's brother) was the backup bass. When he left, he was replaced by Adam Chance, who has the same role. You can hear Chance clearly hit a low note or two in "Mayday."
This was shot in the Austrian Alps. I'd love to go, too!
Any of their gospel songs are absolutely beautiful! Music I grew up with.
I love it! Hey guys, being a Casper native and graduating from NCHS I can literally see in my mind the the fireworks on the 4th of July being set off from the top of C-Hill!!!
Hahaha we will have to get beer sometime! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
You guys are awesome and knowledgeable! Wow! I just subscribed.
You were talking about them singing to their studio track and what it would sound like to be there live. They have behind the scenes videos making some of their songs and they all look serious but live one of them will be singing WAY off key to try to get the others to laugh. I have a feeling their video shoots are a lot of fun. Even their no music videos are entertaining like one where Tim, who is from Texas, visits Adam Rupps family in Minnesota and he is freezing the whole time. You should check those out personally if not on the channel.
Tim Foust traveled to Minnesota during the Arctic blast. Southerner in the Snow. Very funny video.
