Home Free are chameleons. They can sing in multiple styles, R&B, gospel, rock, doo wap, and rock. End of the Road is a Boyz II Men song that Shawn Stockman gave a thumbs up to Home Free.
ABSOLUTELY NO STYLE THEY CANNOT DO! They will make you laugh, cry, put a lump in your throat, make you proud, and give you chills! If they do a type of music that isn’t “your gig” …. It will be when they finish.
Adam Rupp, the "Sound Professional" for this group is way beyond being a beatboxer. Wait till you hear him not play the harmonica. He's epic. Tim Foust is one of those basso profundo singers who can do speaker blowout lows, and all the way up to tenor, all in one guy! Though they tend mostly to country-flavored pieces there is plenty of other genre, including soul and blues. Your ears will thank you forever to hear them do "When A Man Loves A Woman". Just outstanding!
They are considered country acapella, but they do a good variety of styles. They are noted for their humor....and talent. Their cover of "End of the Road" is amazing.
Home Free is an upper-level acapella group with tons of talent and a sense of humor. If you like beat boxing, watch their live video of Adam Rupp's (the beat-boxer) drum solo. For a good laugh, get yourself Rick Rolled with their cover of "Never Gonna Give You Up". They introduced excerpts of this as an April Fools joke by tagging it into 3 or 4 other songs they released that day. The people loved it and they released the full version right afterwards.
If you're just getting to know these guys, you should hear their "Man of Constant Sorrow" cover. It's epic. Like you, I'm not a huge country fan either. But these guys are so talented and they branch out into other genres (sometimes putting a country flare on the music, but even making a country tune sound less so (Ring of Fire cover)). Enjoy the Home Free journey.
These guys are great, my favorite a capella group. They do a lot of country but many other genres as well. For non-country, try When a Man Loves a Woman and End of the Road. They're all great singers but Tim Foust, the bass singer, has a five-octave voice range that's incredible and Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, is fabulous. I can't make a song recommendation without also mentioning Man of Constant Sorrow. Enjoy!
Welcome to the world if Home Free. I haven’t seen anyone tell you yet (and if I am wrong I sincerely apologize) who is who, so: Chris Rupp - cowboy hat in this video sometimes other hats in other videos, sang lead on the “Country Girl (Shake it For Me)” section. Sings baritone with a bit of bass on occasion. Adam Rupp - Brother of Chris (they founded the group back in 2000), beatboxer but sings tenor when he does sing. The Rupps are from Minnesota. Rob Lundquist - glasses and beard. Sings tenor. Considered the best singer in the group by the other guys. He was doing the whistling. He is from Minnesota. Austin Brown - high tenor. Originally from Georgia. Tim Foust - bass. Originally from Texas. Tim has a 5+ octave range. Adam Chance (usually called Chance to avoid confusion with Adam Rupp) - Baritone/bass. Has a 4+ octave range. Originally from Alabama (born in Florida) Chance joined the group in early 2016 when Chris decided to go his own way. Chance had been singing bass in another group prior to joining Home Free so he covers the bass line if Tim sings lead. Like Chris, Chance often wears a hat in videos and on stage. There were other members before the group settled into their current form. Chris Rupp has his own TH-cam channel and has been posting a series of videos on the history of the group. Although they are known as the world’s first country a cappella group, they don’t limit themselves to just they style of music. Some of their songs will make you laugh, some might bring you to tears, and done may just give you energy when you need it.
Home Free is my favorite a cappella band by a country mile. They are very versatile. For pure harmonies check out Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art or Seven Bridges Road. For beatboxing that will blow you away check out ADAM RUPP'S DRUM SOLO - the one where he's wearing a red plaid shirt has the best sound quality (recorded by a fan in the audience). When a Man Loves a Woman is outstanding in every respect. Really, everything they do is gold! Thanks for reacting to your very first Home Free. Cheers!
The greatest compliment of any musician group can receive is when other artists want to work with them. So far, home Free has worked together with Kenny Rogers, The oak ridge boys, Lee greenwood, Don McLean, and various other artists. Vocal musicians just want to sing with them! Each one is very talented and can actually sing alone or as the lead in a song as they often do! They all know how to beatbox and often do in some of their songs! They are a tremendously talented and well followed vocal group! Welcome to the rabbit hole!
I agree with earlier posts... check out their cover of "Man of Constant Sorrow." It's pretty amazing. These guys are awesome! Also, their percussionist, Adam Rupp is outstanding. I recommend checking out one of his live "drum" solos.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole...its a deep dive into good music. They do country but they are so much more than that. Recommendations would be... Brothers in Arms, American Pie featuring Don McLean, One-Man Band, Sea Shanty Medley, Take Me Home, Country Roads (sung as a ballad, it's really stunning), & Dreamer live from the Ryman featuring Texas Hill. Enjoy the ride brother
This is such a fun mashup of songs. Very cleverly done from one song to another. The talent these guys have is phenomenal. They have so much fun but the vocals never suffer. And Adam's beatboxing is on another level. These guys are all so talented. They lean towards country but they can do any genre. They all can take the lead depending on whos voice is best for the song. They are known for their tight harmonies. Tim Foust is one of the best bass singers out there & their beatboxer Adam Rupp can simulate any sound. Keep up your journey through Home Free. You will not find a bad song.
I'm not a huge country fan either but love these guys. Found them through watching Pentatonix reactions too haha. They are a lot of fun and have some laugh out loud songs out there but also have great vocals. I love their serious ones too. So many will get recommended but mine would be Country Fried Pop Medley, Man of Constant Sorrow or Brothers in Arms. Really enjoying your reactions 😊
Even though they are labeled country acappella band they have covered many genres. R&B - END OF THE ROAD by Boyz2Men, Soul - WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN by Percy Sledge and LOVE TRAIN by the O’Jays, Rock - BORN IN THE USA, B Springsteen’ and Dire Straights BROTHERS-IN-ARM (very highly recommended). Comedic/funny HILLBILLY BONE by Blake Shelton and CHAMPAIGNE TASTE ON A BEER BUDGET (Home Free Original written by bass singer Tim Foust) this just scratches the surface they have over 150 video and release new songs every few weeks. Home Free fans are called Home Fries and are extremely loyal. They flock to reactors who regularly reacts to them. The song MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW is the song most reactors get introduced Home Free and is worth listening to. Just subbed to you and hope you enjoy your trip down the Home Free road. Have a great day
You haven’t seen anything yet! The Home Free rabbit hole is endless. And although they are billed as country, they can literally do anything. Adam Rupp, their beat boxer, is a world champion. The high tenor, Austin Brown, has an education in musical theater. Rob Lundquist, tenor (beard guy) can melt your heart or belt out soul with same degree of talent. Adam Chance (goes by Chance) is a fabulous baritone/bass. And Tim Foust, bass, has a vocal range of over 5 octaves and has been known to blow out speakers on some of his low notes. Enjoy. We Home Fries are lifers, and will swell your subscription ranks.
I don't listen to country music at all. But Home Free.....they are just Home Free. My favorite acapella group. They do much more than country songs. And since I don't listen to country it's just a Home Free song. Go and watch their lastest...Unchained Melody.... They sing all genre's.
Great reaction! I love it when people discover Home Free. They are billed as country but can sing any genre, and they do. Take Me Home Country Roads is phenomenal but you might also want to check out Dreamer, When A Man Loves A Woman, End Of The Road, One Man Band, I Swear, Blue Ain't Your Color, and Folsom Prison Blues. For some funny ones: All About That Bass, Champagne Taste, Hillbilly Bone. For some serious ones: How Great Thou Art, Go Rest High On That Mountain. There are so many songs to choose from. When you are familiar with all the boys and their vocal roles, do Mayday. And last but not least, Brothers In Arms. It is haunting and beautiful. They also just released Unchained Melody. Here's a cheat sheet on the group: Adam Rupp, co-founder of HF and beatboxer. Tim Foust, bass. He has a five-octave range. Robb Lundquist (beard) Tenor Harmony. Austin Brown, Lead Tenor. Adam Chance, Baritone ( goes by Chance). Chance replaced Chris Rupp (co-founder) who left in 2016. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! I just subscribed!
These guys are awesome 🤩 They also have a great sense of humor! They won the Sing-off the year after Pentatonix. But they can sing anything. Avi sang with them doing Ring of fire. Double bass on that one. I could go on and on. May Day, Man of Constant Sorrow, so many.
I love seeing new people discover this group. And you're in for a big surprise if you think they're just country. They cover so many different genres, as well as some original music. You will be amazed at their talent. I have subscribed and am looking forward to your journey through Home Free. If you are a fan of good music, you will not be disappointed, I guarantee it!
Although I LOVE Kevin from Pentatonix, he is the SECOND best beatboxer in the a capella community today. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who could come close to matching Adam Rupp from Home Free. He is a monster percussionist and more. Just look him up on TH-cam and you'll find mind-blowing videos of his beatboxing amazingness!
Just subbed, hope to hear more Home Free reactions. If you want something completely opposite of "Butts Medley" then I would suggest "Brothers in Arms", "Helplessly Hoping", "When a Man Loves A Woman", or "How Great Thou Art" to start. These guys chord structures and harmonies are impeccable!
Also throwing in Man of Constant Sorrow for the next Home Free reaction. Or check out one of Adam Rupp's live drum solos, his beatboxing is insane. You'll also love Ring of Fire. Do not watch Mayday just yet; they do an incredible cover of it, but you need to get to know the group and their parts before watching it to fully appreciate it's awesomeness.
Country is not my taste either but HomeFree is killer. This was fun but they also do some beautiful pieces. If you like ACapella I would also recommend VoicePlay. They complete the trilogy. Pentatonix, HomeFree and VoicePlay all have different styles but their talent is amazing.
I am sooooo happy you decided to hear Home Free!!! I love PTX, and it is through them I found Home Free. Both are phenomenal, but Home Free really holds a place in this NYC born and raised city (now country ;) girls heart!!!! Never was a big fan of country either. Now I own 2 pairs of cowboy boots and have a husband that shakes his head like what the hell happened to you?? Home Free is what happened! Welcome to the "Home Fry" (what fans of the group are called) rabbit hole. 2.98k subscribers. Psssst hold my beer!!! LOL Won't even give you a recommendation because anything you listen to by Home Free, you will love!
Glad this made you laugh & loved your reaction. I love this video showing their "goofball" side but this is an older video before 2016 when the co-founder, Chris Rupp (guy in the cowboy hat) left for a solo career. He & the "beat boxer" (championship vocal percussionist), Adam Rupp were the co-founders of Home Free in 2000. Chris Rupp was replaced by Adam Chance (called "Chance" since there are now 2 Adams). Their incredible vocal talent never suffers even when they're being goofy, but I wish you'd heard their more serious side BEFORE you were introduced to the "Butts Medley", such as "Brothers In Arms", "Man of Constant Sorrow", "Helplessly Hoping", "In The Blood", "End of the Road", "How Great Thou Art" or "When A Man Loves A Woman" for starters. After learning their names & what each guy does in the group, then you can react to one of my very favorites, "Mayday" & more of their goofy videos! Home Free will never disappoint, I promise! 😊
I absolutely LOVE that your very FIRST reaction to Home Free was this song. They are such goofballs and you totally can tell their personality based upon this song. And yet... they have some absolutely amazing country covers as well that I'm sure we'll all enjoy watching you react to.
So, no one has recommended a song that is wrong. All r great choices. One song that has not been mentioned to stay away from for now is “Mayday” it is a great song, but don’t do it until you get to know the group and learn who they are and what they do. Then check out “Mayday”. You will understand y when you do then. There “Unchained Melody” is really good and it’s a new release.
Agree..definitely don't do Mayday until you know the band a bit more . It will be worth the wait 😊 They have a perfect mix of genres, their fun side is brilliant, but their more serious songs are simply amazing .
I'm excited that you gave Home Free a shot! Like others have mentioned, they're not just country but sing a wide variety of styles (ie. their cover of Boyz 2 Men's 'End of the Road' and 'Sea Shanty Medley.') Happy to be on this ride with you checking out great music.
Seee…..I Told You 🤗😜😂😂So excited your reacting to this!! I’m not a big country fan either but this medley is great. You should definitely check out more of them. You will understand them better as you go along, they are hilarious and fun! Tim has a Bass note you would not believe!!!! BTW…they do the cover of “Ring of fire”that Avi from Pentatonix is featured in. Talk about a Bass off!!! You should react 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤗 Home free did “Ring of Fire” live on the “Sing Off” and Tim nearly blew the speakers 🔊
Welcome to Home Free. I have been following and watching them since they won The Sing Off in 2013. Great group of guys, great human beings. Not a fan of country myself but they are not your typical country and can and do do other genre's. They are my favorite and only acapella reactions i watch. Not dissing the others i just like filling my free time watching them. Us home fries are the best Fans! And Adam isn't just any beatboxer as you will find out if you continue to do these reactions. I really hope you do more Home Free reactions. I will gladly sub if you do. If you want to see a little of what they can do i suggest " 9 to 5 with beatboxing breakdown live."
Home Free is amazing. A lot of people who like Pentatonix like Home Free as well. Home Free's fans are called Home Fries. And if you are a fans of both groups then...Pentaholic + Home Fry =PentaFries. My favorite is Hillbilly Bone. Avi from Pentatonix does have a part in their cover of Ring of Fire, and a couple cameos in Champagne Taste (both are fantastic).
Now your hearing the best a cappella group there is. Welcome to the "rabbit hole" known as Home Free. Hold on tight & enjoy. They are in a league all their own.
You will also love " It's All About That Base " and "Champaign Taste On A Beer Budget" so funny. Tim Fouts bass right there with Geoff Castellucci of VoicePlay.
Adam Rupp is the beat boxer but his brother said that Adam taught Tim to do the bass drum beat while he scratching so they would be able to do the song live. Adam is phenomenal!!!!!
Not just country and not just the silly/goofy side that you see here.They are country, R&B, soul, some rap thrown in, gospel …. you name it. Not a bad one out there…. It’s a very deep, yet very enjoyable-emotional-entertaining journey.
@@SalvoG oh, there are so many. Carry on wayward son, superstition, wicked medley, butter, we don't talk about bruno, halo theme, dragonborn comes-skyrim, boy bands in 5 minutes, queen in 5 minutes, bang, can't help falling in love, ...anything you choose will get you started on their rabbit hole of great music.
Great reaction, I am glad you enjoyed Home Free. American Pie, Seven Bridges Road and End of The Road are 3 good non country songs by Home Free, they have a lot more though.
This group is the top of the tier for so many reasons...they are known for their country style but they do so much more than that. Man of Constant Sorrow, How Great Thou Art, Mayday, Brothers in Arms, Ring of Fire ft. Avi Kaplan, When a Man Loves a Women, Unchained Melody. That should get you started because the list is endless.
You absolutely made my day with this! I was never that into country either, but Home Free is my happy exception to the rule. I know others will have recommended them too, but I think you might like VoicePlay as well -- they recently dropped a cover of "We Don't Talk About Bruno".
Man of Constant Sorrow and/or Boys II Men's End of the Road are good places to start. Very different genres but both have all 5 guys standing fairly statically so you can get a good idea of who usually does what (so long as you can get used to them changing hairstyles slightly). That said, 4 of the 5 guys will lead in any given song. Adam Rupp is the main beatboxer (though all can beatbox if needed). On more old-fashioned arrangements (like hymns) Adam Rupp will sing instead of doing vocal percussion but he doesn't like to lead except as a percussionist. He does a "drum solo" in every live performance.
Once upon a time there was a tv competition program called the Sing Off. Pentatonix won on the 3rd season and Homefree on the 4th. The show steered Homefree out of general acapella and branded them as country. It has worked well for them. They do other genres as well just all acapella. It's a discipline really. Pentatonix is pop and Voiceplay is more musical theater but all of them can do all of it.
Blue Ain't Your Color is great. How about their collaborations with the greats: Children Go Where I Send Thee (Kenny Rogers), Elvira (The Oak Ridge Boys), and American Pie (Don Mclean). Some may request Mayday but please wait on that one until you're more familiar with who is who and sings in what range. Their 2021 and 2022 Valentine's Day gifts to their fans were I Swear and Make You Feel My Love. They both were done sort of tongue in cheek/serious, which make them totally hilarious. Just around the same time the group released their video for Unchained Melody, 13 months after their high tenor Austin Brown released his version with Steven Martinez on guitar. AMAZING!!! Speaking of amazing, Austin Brown lets hie musical theater training shine with Bring Him Home for Les Miz, with Sebastien Douyon on piano. There are 3 versions of Your Man you should check out. The first is subtitled (LIVE) but has no audience. The second (Crazy Life Tour) is from a live concert. The third is part of at 27 minute concert clip with several additional numbers. This may be too long for a react video but please do not pass up on Home Free Concert Morrison, IL 8/19/15. Well, it looks like I got carried away again. There's just so much great HF stuff. I'm going now.
Home Free is the best--period. They are completely acapella and make all "instrumental" sounds themselves. They lean country but are far too underappreciated for the wide range of genres they cover. They can do extremely serious (check out Brothers in Arms) but don't take themselves too seriously--as this video proves. LOVE Home Free❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️ This video was an April Fools' video from 2015 . (Eric "Buegs" is one of Rob's good friends. His short overalls is a reference to Maddie & Tae's video called "Girl in a Country Song". Check it out--makes Buegs' antics here even funnier 🤣)
They call themselves country but they kind of fell into it due to the Sing Off Competition TV Show. They weren't really sold on the country thing at first but realizing that no one in country music was doing A Capella...that kind of helped them decide. So they ran with it and while they do country songs, they do a wide range of music other than country. They can give a song a country feel...if they want to. All have musical/singing training of some kind ranging from Musical Theater to Operatic so they can seriously do about any kind of music, like they showed in this one. Man of Constant Sorrow is the starting point for a lot of reactors but I will warn you, it is definitely old time bluegrass country but they modernize it in their own way. If you want to check out non country songs, check out "Can't Stop The Feelin' Workin For A Living, Castle On The Hill, End of the Road, When a Man Loves A Woman, Love Train, Sunday Best, Never Gonna Give You Up (Their April fools joke on the fans last year). There are more that I just can't think of at the moment! LOL Plus they don't shy away from adding their own sense of humor into their videos as you have already seen.
Thank you for reacting to the Home Free guys. They can be funny, serious and just fun. Friends In Low Places...In The Blood...What We Ain't Got...and..Blue Ain't Your Color... the last song is more Temptation like. Just a thought if you want. Thanks again.
I feel like everyone of around my age can pick Thong song out a mile away. I love that this song the minute thong song starts everyone gets the biggest eyes and smiles!! It is like peak nostalgia and the HF boys nailed it!!
Home Free is the real deal. They won the Sing Off the season after Pentatonix won. The beatboxer is world class and their harmonies are incredible. Yes, they’re country but sing all genres of music. Try Helplessly Hoping, Brothers in Arms, One Man Band, In the Blood. And yes, they have a wicked sense of humor and don’t take themselves too seriously. Good reaction.
Welcome to the Home Free family :) . Please continue your journey into this amazing group of Men with their version of Dire Straits song "Brothers in Arms"
Alright...Well being a fan of beatboxing.."Adam Rupp Drum Solo" is a good place to start. "Born in the USA" "All about that Bass...they have a long and varied library. So many..including live performances and solo acts as well amongst them. Welcome to the Home Free Home Fry Rabbit Hole!
These guys are great and don't always do country. But they are so good, you may find yourself enjoying the country, too. Pentatonix won Season 3 of The Sing Off; these guys won Season 4. "Man of Constant Sorrow" is a fan favorite. "Ring of Fire" includes Avi from Pentatonix. I love "In the Blood." "Grandma Got Runover by a Reindeer" is a kick. It's hard to say which group has the better beatboxer. I've been a Pentatonix fan since 2011, so Kevin is my favorite. But they are both top of the international heap!
Do How Great Thou Art. Pure beautiful harmonies. Maybe Unchained Melody next. Then Mayday to see their vocal range and versatility. But you can just pick anything they do and you will never be disappointed.
Just remember, for every rule, there are exceptions You might not be a huge country music fan, but THESE guys.... Oh HELL yeah. Check out: Down to the Honkytonk Man of Constant Sorrow Meet in the Middle And for an absolute blast, "Sea Shanty Medley"
I'm not a country fan either. They do covers of other genre..... They r fun. Pentatonix & Home Free won a former show the Sing Off. Tim Foust is ur man for the base. Love them. Man of constant sorrow is usually the introduction video but u mention thong song ....
I just subscribed for more HOME FREE Welcome to HOME FREE !! HOME FREE is a county A Capella band (NO INSTRUMENTS) that does more than just country. Tim Foust, the bass (5 octave range) , Adam Rupp, the beatboxer (freak of nature), Adam Chance (Chance) is the baritone/bass, since 2016, he took over for Chris Rupp (one of the founders of the group), Rob Lundquist, tenor and Austin Browmn high tenor make up the voices of angels. PLEASE listen to more.. If I know my Home Free family well (Home Fries) , they have already given you suggestions of music. LOL Thanks for the reaction
Wow, what a choice for their first song! This was an April fool's release back in 2014. HF is amazing! They are primarily country and have over 160 covers and original content but they also do pop, gospel, R&B, old school classics... Very patriotic. Try their God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood, American Pie with Don McLean, End of the Road or Alde Lang Syne. If you like live, watch Adam Rupp does a drum solo. He will blow you away!
They do this at practically all their concerts. Also, for a great beatboxing video, check out 9to5 Breakdown. Adam Rupp (beatboxer) sings tenor instead of beatboxing in several of their videos... Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art and Brothers in Arms. You can't go wrong with anything you choose, but make a note to wait for Mayday until you're pretty familiar with the guys... you'll be glad you did.😊
Home Free are chameleons. They can sing in multiple styles, R&B, gospel, rock, doo wap, and rock. End of the Road is a Boyz II Men song that Shawn Stockman gave a thumbs up to Home Free.
Welcome to Home Free... Glad you are checking them out.. End Of The Road ... Take Me Home Country Roads...Country Fried Pop... Brothers In Arms...
ABSOLUTELY NO STYLE THEY CANNOT DO!
They will make you laugh, cry, put a lump in your throat, make you proud, and give you chills! If they do a type of music that isn’t “your gig” …. It will be when they finish.
Adam Rupp, the "Sound Professional" for this group is way beyond being a beatboxer. Wait till you hear him not play the harmonica. He's epic. Tim Foust is one of those basso profundo singers who can do speaker blowout lows, and all the way up to tenor, all in one guy!
Though they tend mostly to country-flavored pieces there is plenty of other genre, including soul and blues. Your ears will thank you forever to hear them do "When A Man Loves A Woman". Just outstanding!
They sing whatever they want. This was fun to see the dawning understanding in your face.
They are considered country acapella, but they do a good variety of styles. They are noted for their humor....and talent.
Their cover of "End of the Road" is amazing.
Home Free is an upper-level acapella group with tons of talent and a sense of humor. If you like beat boxing, watch their live video of Adam Rupp's (the beat-boxer) drum solo. For a good laugh, get yourself Rick Rolled with their cover of "Never Gonna Give You Up". They introduced excerpts of this as an April Fools joke by tagging it into 3 or 4 other songs they released that day. The people loved it and they released the full version right afterwards.
If you're just getting to know these guys, you should hear their "Man of Constant Sorrow" cover. It's epic.
Like you, I'm not a huge country fan either. But these guys are so talented and they branch out into other genres (sometimes putting a country flare on the music, but even making a country tune sound less so (Ring of Fire cover)).
Enjoy the Home Free journey.
You really need to watch Home Free's champagne on a beer budget.
Home Free sings every genre! Welcome to the rabbit hole!
These guys are great, my favorite a capella group. They do a lot of country but many other genres as well. For non-country, try When a Man Loves a Woman and End of the Road. They're all great singers but Tim Foust, the bass singer, has a five-octave voice range that's incredible and Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, is fabulous. I can't make a song recommendation without also mentioning Man of Constant Sorrow. Enjoy!
Welcome to the world if Home Free. I haven’t seen anyone tell you yet (and if I am wrong I sincerely apologize) who is who, so:
Chris Rupp - cowboy hat in this video sometimes other hats in other videos, sang lead on the “Country Girl (Shake it For Me)” section. Sings baritone with a bit of bass on occasion.
Adam Rupp - Brother of Chris (they founded the group back in 2000), beatboxer but sings tenor when he does sing. The Rupps are from Minnesota.
Rob Lundquist - glasses and beard. Sings tenor. Considered the best singer in the group by the other guys. He was doing the whistling. He is from Minnesota.
Austin Brown - high tenor. Originally from Georgia.
Tim Foust - bass. Originally from Texas. Tim has a 5+ octave range.
Adam Chance (usually called Chance to avoid confusion with Adam Rupp) -
Baritone/bass. Has a 4+ octave range. Originally from Alabama (born in Florida)
Chance joined the group in early 2016 when Chris decided to go his own way. Chance had been singing bass in another group prior to joining Home Free so he covers the bass line if Tim sings lead. Like Chris, Chance often wears a hat in videos and on stage.
There were other members before the group settled into their current form. Chris Rupp has his own TH-cam channel and has been posting a series of videos on the history of the group.
Although they are known as the world’s first country a cappella group, they don’t limit themselves to just they style of music. Some of their songs will make you laugh, some might bring you to tears, and done may just give you energy when you need it.
Home Free is my favorite a cappella band by a country mile. They are very versatile. For pure harmonies check out Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art or Seven Bridges Road. For beatboxing that will blow you away check out ADAM RUPP'S DRUM SOLO - the one where he's wearing a red plaid shirt has the best sound quality (recorded by a fan in the audience). When a Man Loves a Woman is outstanding in every respect. Really, everything they do is gold! Thanks for reacting to your very first Home Free. Cheers!
The greatest compliment of any musician group can receive is when other artists want to work with them.

I am not a country fan either, but I can listen to Home Free every day of the week. They do cover more than country too.
I agree with earlier posts... check out their cover of "Man of Constant Sorrow." It's pretty amazing. These guys are awesome! Also, their percussionist, Adam Rupp is outstanding. I recommend checking out one of his live "drum" solos.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole...its a deep dive into good music. They do country but they are so much more than that. Recommendations would be... Brothers in Arms, American Pie featuring Don McLean, One-Man Band, Sea Shanty Medley, Take Me Home, Country Roads (sung as a ballad, it's really stunning), & Dreamer live from the Ryman featuring Texas Hill. Enjoy the ride brother
We home fry's love our home free 🍟❣️💯🔥
Their cover of Man if Constant Sorrow is excellent. I never knew someone could make a harmonica sound without a harmonica……VERY impressive….
Home Free is amazing. If you want something out of the country genre, check out their cover of the O'Jay's, Love Train. Everything they do is awesome.
They are primarily country, but they can do well with any genre. Another deep rabbit hole.
This is such a fun mashup of songs. Very cleverly done from one song to another. The talent these guys have is phenomenal. They have so much fun but the vocals never suffer. And Adam's beatboxing is on another level. These guys are all so talented. They lean towards country but they can do any genre. They all can take the lead depending on whos voice is best for the song. They are known for their tight harmonies. Tim Foust is one of the best bass singers out there & their beatboxer Adam Rupp can simulate any sound. Keep up your journey through Home Free. You will not find a bad song.
I'm not a huge country fan either but love these guys. Found them through watching Pentatonix reactions too haha. They are a lot of fun and have some laugh out loud songs out there but also have great vocals. I love their serious ones too. So many will get recommended but mine would be Country Fried Pop Medley, Man of Constant Sorrow or Brothers in Arms. Really enjoying your reactions 😊
I'd add "God Bless the USA (with Lee Greenwood and the USAF Vocal Band)" or "Crazy." Really, there's no bad Home Free
That’s the same way I found them during lockdown!
Even though they are labeled country acappella band they have covered many genres. R&B - END OF THE ROAD by Boyz2Men, Soul - WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN by Percy Sledge and LOVE TRAIN by the O’Jays, Rock - BORN IN THE USA, B Springsteen’ and Dire Straights BROTHERS-IN-ARM (very highly recommended). Comedic/funny HILLBILLY BONE by Blake Shelton and CHAMPAIGNE TASTE ON A BEER BUDGET (Home Free Original written by bass singer Tim Foust) this just scratches the surface they have over 150 video and release new songs every few weeks. Home Free fans are called Home Fries and are extremely loyal. They flock to reactors who regularly reacts to them. The song MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW is the song most reactors get introduced Home Free and is worth listening to. Just subbed to you and hope you enjoy your trip down the Home Free road. Have a great day
You haven’t seen anything yet! The Home Free rabbit hole is endless. And although they are billed as country, they can literally do anything. Adam Rupp, their beat boxer, is a world champion. The high tenor, Austin Brown, has an education in musical theater. Rob Lundquist, tenor (beard guy) can melt your heart or belt out soul with same degree of talent. Adam Chance (goes by Chance) is a fabulous baritone/bass. And Tim Foust, bass, has a vocal range of over 5 octaves and has been known to blow out speakers on some of his low notes. Enjoy. We Home Fries are lifers, and will swell your subscription ranks.
You ain't seen nothing yet! I'm here for it! Home Free... Let's go! 😁
I don't listen to country music at all. But Home Free.....they are just Home Free. My favorite acapella group. They do much more than country songs. And since I don't listen to country it's just a Home Free song.
Go and watch their lastest...Unchained Melody....
They sing all genre's.
Bro….the rabbit hole for Home Free is just as deep and expansive as Pentatonix. Enjoy!!! And, they do more than just country.
Great reaction! I love it when people discover Home Free. They are billed as country but can sing any genre, and they do. Take Me Home Country Roads is phenomenal but you might also want to check out Dreamer, When A Man Loves A Woman, End Of The Road, One Man Band, I Swear, Blue Ain't Your Color, and Folsom Prison Blues. For some funny ones: All About That Bass, Champagne Taste, Hillbilly Bone. For some serious ones: How Great Thou Art, Go Rest High On That Mountain. There are so many songs to choose from. When you are familiar with all the boys and their vocal roles, do Mayday. And last but not least, Brothers In Arms. It is haunting and beautiful. They also just released Unchained Melody. Here's a cheat sheet on the group: Adam Rupp, co-founder of HF and beatboxer. Tim Foust, bass. He has a five-octave range. Robb Lundquist (beard) Tenor Harmony. Austin Brown, Lead Tenor. Adam Chance, Baritone ( goes by Chance). Chance replaced Chris Rupp (co-founder) who left in 2016. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! I just subscribed!
These guys are awesome 🤩 They also have a great sense of humor! They won the Sing-off the year after Pentatonix. But they can sing anything. Avi sang with them doing Ring of fire. Double bass on that one. I could go on and on. May Day, Man of Constant Sorrow, so many.
I’m not a huge country fan either but these guys are great and this song/video is utterly amazing.
I love seeing new people discover this group. And you're in for a big surprise if you think they're just country. They cover so many different genres, as well as some original music. You will be amazed at their talent. I have subscribed and am looking forward to your journey through Home Free. If you are a fan of good music, you will not be disappointed, I guarantee it!
Although I LOVE Kevin from Pentatonix, he is the SECOND best beatboxer in the a capella community today. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who could come close to matching Adam Rupp from Home Free. He is a monster percussionist and more. Just look him up on TH-cam and you'll find mind-blowing videos of his beatboxing amazingness!
Don't forget Helplessly Hoping.
Just subbed, hope to hear more Home Free reactions. If you want something completely opposite of "Butts Medley" then I would suggest "Brothers in Arms", "Helplessly Hoping", "When a Man Loves A Woman", or "How Great Thou Art" to start. These guys chord structures and harmonies are impeccable!
Also throwing in Man of Constant Sorrow for the next Home Free reaction. Or check out one of Adam Rupp's live drum solos, his beatboxing is insane. You'll also love Ring of Fire. Do not watch Mayday just yet; they do an incredible cover of it, but you need to get to know the group and their parts before watching it to fully appreciate it's awesomeness.
Adam Rupp's live drum solo is insanely good 👍
Country is not my taste either but HomeFree is killer. This was fun but they also do some beautiful pieces. If you like ACapella I would also recommend VoicePlay. They complete the trilogy. Pentatonix, HomeFree and VoicePlay all have different styles but their talent is amazing.
PTX won Season 3 of The Sing-Off (a capella competition show on tv) in 2011. Home Free won Season 4 the next season!
Wait THIS is what was recommended for your first Home Free lol?! Gotta do Ring of Fire with Avi from Pentatonix.
Like so many others who commented, I don't really like country either but I like Home Free.
I am sooooo happy you decided to hear Home Free!!! I love PTX, and it is through them I found Home Free. Both are phenomenal, but Home Free really holds a place in this NYC born and raised city (now country ;) girls heart!!!! Never was a big fan of country either. Now I own 2 pairs of cowboy boots and have a husband that shakes his head like what the hell happened to you?? Home Free is what happened! Welcome to the "Home Fry" (what fans of the group are called) rabbit hole. 2.98k subscribers. Psssst hold my beer!!! LOL Won't even give you a recommendation because anything you listen to by Home Free, you will love!
Welcome to Home Free. Enjoy the harmonies. Thanks! ^_^
Glad this made you laugh & loved your reaction. I love this video showing their "goofball" side but this is an older video before 2016 when the co-founder, Chris Rupp (guy in the cowboy hat) left for a solo career. He & the "beat boxer" (championship vocal percussionist), Adam Rupp were the co-founders of Home Free in 2000. Chris Rupp was replaced by Adam Chance (called "Chance" since there are now 2 Adams). Their incredible vocal talent never suffers even when they're being goofy, but I wish you'd heard their more serious side BEFORE you were introduced to the "Butts Medley", such as "Brothers In Arms", "Man of Constant Sorrow", "Helplessly Hoping", "In The Blood", "End of the Road", "How Great Thou Art" or "When A Man Loves A Woman" for starters. After learning their names & what each guy does in the group, then you can react to one of my very favorites, "Mayday" & more of their goofy videos! Home Free will never disappoint, I promise! 😊
ring of fire with Avi is a good start to be coming a home fry
These guys cover every genre and have great original songs as well. LOVE THESE GUYS
YAY! HOME FREE 🤘😎🤘🔥🔥
I absolutely LOVE that your very FIRST reaction to Home Free was this song. They are such goofballs and you totally can tell their personality based upon this song. And yet... they have some absolutely amazing country covers as well that I'm sure we'll all enjoy watching you react to.
So, no one has recommended a song that is wrong. All r great choices. One song that has not been mentioned to stay away from for now is “Mayday” it is a great song, but don’t do it until you get to know the group and learn who they are and what they do. Then check out “Mayday”. You will understand y when you do then. There “Unchained Melody” is really good and it’s a new release.
Agree..definitely don't do Mayday until you know the band a bit more . It will be worth the wait 😊 They have a perfect mix of genres, their fun side is brilliant, but their more serious songs are simply amazing .
I'm excited that you gave Home Free a shot! Like others have mentioned, they're not just country but sing a wide variety of styles (ie. their cover of Boyz 2 Men's 'End of the Road' and 'Sea Shanty Medley.') Happy to be on this ride with you checking out great music.
This group is one of my favorite groups. They can do anything! I would suggest you spend some time with them.
Our guys can (and do) sing any style, and do it incredibly well!
Home Free ❤️🙌🙌
This one cheers me, just by the shear joy and fun these guys were having. Funny stuff. Thanks
You should continue down this rabbit hole. They are amazing! You will not be disappointed.
Seee…..I Told You 🤗😜😂😂So excited your reacting to this!! I’m not a big country fan either but this medley is great. You should definitely check out more of them. You will understand them better as you go along, they are hilarious and fun! Tim has a Bass note you would not believe!!!!
BTW…they do the cover of “Ring of fire”that Avi from Pentatonix is featured in. Talk about a Bass off!!! You should react 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤗
Home free did “Ring of Fire” live on the “Sing Off” and Tim nearly blew the speakers 🔊
Just subbed for more Home Free! Love these guys!
I've never been able to get into HF, but this was pretty epic.
Welcome to Home Free. I have been following and watching them since they won The Sing Off in 2013. Great group of guys, great human beings. Not a fan of country myself but they are not your typical country and can and do do other genre's. They are my favorite and only acapella reactions i watch. Not dissing the others i just like filling my free time watching them. Us home fries are the best Fans! And Adam isn't just any beatboxer as you will find out if you continue to do these reactions. I really hope you do more Home Free reactions. I will gladly sub if you do. If you want to see a little of what they can do i suggest " 9 to 5 with beatboxing breakdown live."
Home Free is amazing. A lot of people who like Pentatonix like Home Free as well. Home Free's fans are called Home Fries. And if you are a fans of both groups then...Pentaholic + Home Fry =PentaFries. My favorite is Hillbilly Bone. Avi from Pentatonix does have a part in their cover of Ring of Fire, and a couple cameos in Champagne Taste (both are fantastic).
Now your hearing the best a cappella group there is. Welcome to the "rabbit hole" known as Home Free. Hold on tight & enjoy. They are in a league all their own.
You will also love " It's All About That Base " and "Champaign Taste On A Beer Budget" so funny. Tim Fouts bass right there with Geoff Castellucci of VoicePlay.
Adam Rupp is the beat boxer but his brother said that Adam taught Tim to do the bass drum beat while he scratching so they would be able to do the song live. Adam is phenomenal!!!!!
I love this group!! Helplessly Hoping cover of Crosby Stills, How Great Thou Art, Brothers in Arms (Dire Straits cover) there are just so many!
Not just country and not just the silly/goofy side that you see here.They are country, R&B, soul, some rap thrown in, gospel …. you name it. Not a bad one out there…. It’s a very deep, yet very enjoyable-emotional-entertaining journey.
There are so many great Home Free videos and tons of Voiceplay you should also explore!!
Favorite voice play song?
@@SalvoG oh, there are so many. Carry on wayward son, superstition, wicked medley, butter, we don't talk about bruno, halo theme, dragonborn comes-skyrim, boy bands in 5 minutes, queen in 5 minutes, bang, can't help falling in love, ...anything you choose will get you started on their rabbit hole of great music.
Great reaction, I am glad you enjoyed Home Free. American Pie, Seven Bridges Road and End of The Road are 3 good non country songs by Home Free, they have a lot more though.
This group is the top of the tier for so many reasons...they are known for their country style but they do so much more than that. Man of Constant Sorrow, How Great Thou Art, Mayday, Brothers in Arms, Ring of Fire ft. Avi Kaplan, When a Man Loves a Women, Unchained Melody. That should get you started because the list is endless.
You absolutely made my day with this! I was never that into country either, but Home Free is my happy exception to the rule. I know others will have recommended them too, but I think you might like VoicePlay as well -- they recently dropped a cover of "We Don't Talk About Bruno".
Man of Constant Sorrow and/or Boys II Men's End of the Road are good places to start. Very different genres but both have all 5 guys standing fairly statically so you can get a good idea of who usually does what (so long as you can get used to them changing hairstyles slightly). That said, 4 of the 5 guys will lead in any given song. Adam Rupp is the main beatboxer (though all can beatbox if needed). On more old-fashioned arrangements (like hymns) Adam Rupp will sing instead of doing vocal percussion but he doesn't like to lead except as a percussionist. He does a "drum solo" in every live performance.
Once upon a time there was a tv competition program called the Sing Off. Pentatonix won on the 3rd season and Homefree on the 4th. The show steered Homefree out of general acapella and branded them as country. It has worked well for them. They do other genres as well just all acapella. It's a discipline really. Pentatonix is pop and Voiceplay is more musical theater but all of them can do all of it.
Not a country fan, not a music fan but a Home Free fan. So much more…
Blue Ain't Your Color is great. How about their collaborations with the greats: Children Go Where I Send Thee (Kenny Rogers), Elvira (The Oak Ridge Boys), and American Pie (Don Mclean). Some may request Mayday but please wait on that one until you're more familiar with who is who and sings in what range. Their 2021 and 2022 Valentine's Day gifts to their fans were I Swear and Make You Feel My Love. They both were done sort of tongue in cheek/serious, which make them totally hilarious. Just around the same time the group released their video for Unchained Melody, 13 months after their high tenor Austin Brown released his version with Steven Martinez on guitar. AMAZING!!! Speaking of amazing, Austin Brown lets hie musical theater training shine with Bring Him Home for Les Miz, with Sebastien Douyon on piano. There are 3 versions of Your Man you should check out. The first is subtitled (LIVE) but has no audience. The second (Crazy Life Tour) is from a live concert. The third is part of at 27 minute concert clip with several additional numbers. This may be too long for a react video but please do not pass up on Home Free Concert Morrison, IL 8/19/15. Well, it looks like I got carried away again. There's just so much great HF stuff. I'm going now.
They have so much fun tohether!
great reaction, much love from germany
You really need to check out End of The Road.
Home Free is the best--period. They are completely acapella and make all "instrumental" sounds themselves. They lean country but are far too underappreciated for the wide range of genres they cover. They can do extremely serious (check out Brothers in Arms) but don't take themselves too seriously--as this video proves. LOVE Home Free❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
This video was an April Fools' video from 2015 . (Eric "Buegs" is one of Rob's good friends. His short overalls is a reference to Maddie & Tae's video called "Girl in a Country Song". Check it out--makes Buegs' antics here even funnier 🤣)
So excited to explore this group further
They call themselves country but they kind of fell into it due to the Sing Off Competition TV Show. They weren't really sold on the country thing at first but realizing that no one in country music was doing A Capella...that kind of helped them decide. So they ran with it and while they do country songs, they do a wide range of music other than country. They can give a song a country feel...if they want to. All have musical/singing training of some kind ranging from Musical Theater to Operatic so they can seriously do about any kind of music, like they showed in this one. Man of Constant Sorrow is the starting point for a lot of reactors but I will warn you, it is definitely old time bluegrass country but they modernize it in their own way. If you want to check out non country songs, check out "Can't Stop The Feelin' Workin For A Living, Castle On The Hill, End of the Road, When a Man Loves A Woman, Love Train, Sunday Best, Never Gonna Give You Up (Their April fools joke on the fans last year). There are more that I just can't think of at the moment! LOL Plus they don't shy away from adding their own sense of humor into their videos as you have already seen.
Oh boy, if all the ones to start with.🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for reacting to the Home Free guys. They can be funny, serious and just fun. Friends In Low Places...In The Blood...What We Ain't Got...and..Blue Ain't Your Color... the last song is more Temptation like. Just a thought if you want. Thanks again.
Subbed for more Home Free!
I feel like everyone of around my age can pick Thong song out a mile away. I love that this song the minute thong song starts everyone gets the biggest eyes and smiles!! It is like peak nostalgia and the HF boys nailed it!!
Adam Rupp is a 2 time world beatboxer champion!! He has his own drum solos!
Home Free is the real deal. They won the Sing Off the season after Pentatonix won. The beatboxer is world class and their harmonies are incredible. Yes, they’re country but sing all genres of music. Try Helplessly Hoping, Brothers in Arms, One Man Band, In the Blood. And yes, they have a wicked sense of humor and don’t take themselves too seriously. Good reaction.
Welcome to the Home Free family :) . Please continue your journey into this amazing group of Men with their version of Dire Straits song "Brothers in Arms"
can't recommend Brothers in Arms more highly
Just subscribed. Home fry here. Keep reacting to their music. You won’t be sorry.
Alright...Well being a fan of beatboxing.."Adam Rupp Drum Solo" is a good place to start. "Born in the USA" "All about that Bass...they have a long and varied library. So many..including live performances and solo acts as well amongst them. Welcome to the Home Free Home Fry Rabbit Hole!
These guys are great and don't always do country. But they are so good, you may find yourself enjoying the country, too. Pentatonix won Season 3 of The Sing Off; these guys won Season 4. "Man of Constant Sorrow" is a fan favorite. "Ring of Fire" includes Avi from Pentatonix. I love "In the Blood." "Grandma Got Runover by a Reindeer" is a kick. It's hard to say which group has the better beatboxer. I've been a Pentatonix fan since 2011, so Kevin is my favorite. But they are both top of the international heap!
Home Free is the best of the best!! Please react to more HF. They have 200 videos to choose from!! " Brothers in Arms!!
They all do so much more than country
I highly recommend you watch " Brothers in Arms" by Home Free.
They do a lot of different genre’s, good in all of them
Do How Great Thou Art. Pure beautiful harmonies. Maybe Unchained Melody next. Then Mayday to see their vocal range and versatility. But you can just pick anything they do and you will never be disappointed.
Just remember, for every rule, there are exceptions You might not be a huge country music fan, but THESE guys....
Oh HELL yeah.
Check out:
Down to the Honkytonk
Man of Constant Sorrow
Meet in the Middle
And for an absolute blast,
"Sea Shanty Medley"
I'm not a country fan either. They do covers of other genre..... They r fun. Pentatonix & Home Free won a former show the Sing Off. Tim Foust is ur man for the base. Love them. Man of constant sorrow is usually the introduction video but u mention thong song ....
I just subscribed for more HOME FREE
Welcome to HOME FREE !! HOME FREE is a county A Capella band (NO INSTRUMENTS) that does more than just country. Tim Foust, the bass (5 octave range) , Adam Rupp, the beatboxer (freak of nature), Adam Chance (Chance) is the baritone/bass, since 2016, he took over for Chris Rupp (one of the founders of the group), Rob Lundquist, tenor and Austin Browmn high tenor make up the voices of angels. PLEASE listen to more.. If I know my Home Free family well (Home Fries) , they have already given you suggestions of music. LOL Thanks for the reaction
Nothing like jump in n feet first with home free! Lol
These guys won The Sing Off the season after PTX.
Wow, what a choice for their first song! This was an April fool's release back in 2014. HF is amazing! They are primarily country and have over 160 covers and original content but they also do pop, gospel, R&B, old school classics... Very patriotic. Try their God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood, American Pie with Don McLean, End of the Road or Alde Lang Syne. If you like live, watch Adam Rupp does a drum solo. He will blow you away!
Oh, also check out their live competition doing I'm Alright from Caddy shack. Rob's Groundhog dance kills it!
Try the serious side of them-Brothers In Arms or one if Adam Rupp's drum solos-awesome!!
They are a country a capella but sing many genres.
They do this at practically all their concerts. Also, for a great beatboxing video, check out 9to5 Breakdown. Adam Rupp (beatboxer) sings tenor instead of beatboxing in several of their videos... Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art and Brothers in Arms. You can't go wrong with anything you choose, but make a note to wait for Mayday until you're pretty familiar with the guys... you'll be glad you did.😊
