Love this song. I think your emotion to this song is wonderful. You have a tender heart. When my Dad was nearing then end of his life, he asked me to sing this song at his funeral. I stopped and looked at him and said "um... no" I knew I wouldn't make it through this song alone, so my two adult daughters sang it with me. We stood at the pulpit with our arms around each other, and it was perfect. We were blessed.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. These talented gentlemen sing almost anything with flare a unique arrangements. They have yet to disappoint. How Great Thou Art is one of my favorites and a great song to start with.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I believe we have a new Home Fry. Welcome to the club. Whether they are being silly, serious or something in between, the Home Free boys are always amazing. I have seen them in concert three times and they sound just as good live as they do in a studio recording. The music always comes first, you never see any hints of ego. All four of the vocalists can carry the lead and their vocal percussionist is one of the best out there (you watched one of the rare videos without the beatboxing). Just five great guys that you'd love to go party with. Enjoy the ride.
This song brings me to tears. It was song at my son's funeral to remind me and all there that God is Great regardless and we need to trust in him no matter what...Praise the Lord!
I can’t tell you how many times these guys have made me ball my eyes out. I can’t tell you how many times these guys have had me laughing. I have always said that they were meant to be together. I thank God for giving them to all of us.
It's a GOOD thing that you feel that way! ZERO shame or guilt! Those who do not feel the way you felt are badly missing the truth. This has been my favorite acapella group for years! This was filmed in the Austrian Alps, and, as you can see, no better background could there be! Very good reaction...God Bless!
Great reaction. Thank you. 😀 This was filmed in the Austrian Alps, when they were over there on tour. I'm glad you liked it. It's one of my favorites from Home Free. I love getting to hear Adam Rupp sing, for one thing. He has such a beautiful voice.
These guys have the richest harmonies on the planet hands down. They are technically the best of the best in the a cappella genre and are so good you don't even realize there are no instruments accompanying them in their music.
If you really want to hear this live, look up them singing this in a tent, standing on a picnic table during a thunderstorm in Kearny, MO. It doesn't get more live than that.
It is good for what it is, but it is recorded on a phone, so it is limited. However, that they chose to go and sing like that for fans that were run out of the amphitheater by a thunderstorm speaks volumes for their character.
As an Aussie who has watched your channel as you embraced John Farnham, I'm glad you have discovered these guys also. I only came across them on YT about 18 months ago and believe this is my favorite of the acapalla groups (not sure if I qualify as a "Home Fry" yet). Their beatboxer (Adam Rupp) is amazing to go with their amazing vocals and excellent arrangements. If you admire good bass vocals, maybe check out "Brothers in Arms"(Dire Straits cover).
They were extremely intentional in this arrangement. They kept the entire thing classic but splashed in fancy chord changes here and there and that made it even more special. Thanks for this post, lil bro 🙏🏾🥰
If you want unexpected chords, check out angels we have heard on high, or any of there gospel songs... You haven't even heard the beatboxer yet, there is a few live drum solo videos you should check... Also if you love the bass Tim Foust, check out the ring of fire, brothers in arms
Yes! The live versions out there are Fan Cam videos. While they are fun to watch, the sound never comes through. I finally saw them live this last year and the professionally recorded Sea Shanty is what it really sounded like in person.
@TheCharlieSmithChannel Dreamer, LIVE at the Ryman feat. Texas Hill is not only a great collaboration but also an original AND there’s a fun mid-song intro of everyone by Tim.
Welcome to the Home Free party. Best a cappella group out there, I think. Hymns are not my thing, but this brought me to tears the first time I heard it, too. Fabulous arrangement by Darren Rust, who does most of their arrangements as well as producing. They call him the 6th member of the group. Master class in 5-part harmony. They have a very deep and varied catalog - everything from country to pop to rock to R&B to sacred. The 2 tenors even did Nessun Dorma. A couple of suggestions for next time: Helplessly Hoping, Stand By Me, Playing With Fire (an original co-written by Austin Brown, their high tenor). But, really, you can't go wrong with anything on their list. Enjoy the ride!
The main bass singer in this group is Tim Foust. He has a 5 octave range so he can go as high and as low as anyone you've ever seen. If you like their sound I suggest you watch their appearances on a television show called "Sing Off" that introduced them to a national audience. You can find them on TH-cam by searching Home Free Sing Off, get the ones that have the judges comments; I promise you won't be sorry!
You’ve been struck by the Home Frew bug! It is contagious, but it’s a good bug! It will make you feel better when you’re down and out, physically down, or even when you’re feeling great, it will brighten your mood even more! This is a fan favorite and one of their best, but there is no bad Home Free cover or original! They are even more incredible live! These guys are down to earth, funny goofballs at times, but each one is so talented! They consider themselves country a cappella, but they have a unique style all their own. They’ve covered many genres of music including Rock, Pop, Gospel, Patriotic, Folk, and two even did an opera song. Consider me a new subscriber because I will hit that subscribe button after posting this!
The video is in the Austrian Alps. They are just as gifted in a live performance as they are in a video. Long before they made videos, they made their living traveling and working 200 days a year, giving live performances at different venues. If you want to see some of their live performances, you can see their performances on The Sing-Off, an acapella competition show, on season four. It's on TH-cam. They unsurprisingly won the competition. Home Free has continuously improved since those performances on The Sing-Off ten years ago. They made new versions of The Sing-Off songs for the tenth anniversary of their performances recently. Of course, the new versions were studio versions. Still, people who have been to their live performances say their live performances sound just like their videos. Home Free is labeled primarily a country acapella group, but they can and do all genres of music. They are engaging unassuming down to earth guys who work endlessly on their art. They can sing like angels or even a church organ. They can sing uplifting songs, goofy songs, country songs, R&B, opera, and so forth. They made videos even during lockdown, helping their fans through the ordeal.
Subscribed for Home Free! Beautiful reaction 😊 thank you for giving our boys a listen. They really are best 5 guy's in every way. They're not just talented, they all have great personalities, they're kind, caring, generous and FUNNY!! They're great friends with each other. They're genuinely good guy 🏠🍟
My son and I went to one of their concerts. Every song…absolutely amazing! They sang “Ring of Fire” last, we literally felt Tim’s last note. Didn’t hear it, bc it was so low, but felt it. My son and I immediately turned and looked at each other like, “did you feel that?”!! They’re amazing! Go see them live, you won’t regret it🤍
I've heard this song hundreds of times and still tear up every time! The Awesome harmony and the visual beauty is unbelievable! My favorite vocal group and my favorite video! Thank for sharing, I had the same reaction!
Just as little friendly advice, always let the Home Free videos run to the end, they often leave a message or a funny nugget at the end of their videos, they talk to their Home Fries often about the message of each song. They can do stunning vocal arrangements like this, they can do funny and goofy, and they don't confine themselves to a genre, they lean country, but do all manner of genres (wait til you hear them sing opera!).
Your reaction and comments were spot on for me. This masterpiece was filmed in Austria when they were in Europe for a conference. Others will fill you in on the particulars. I have had the pleasure to see them in concert five times so far and will definitely go again whenever they have a show within range (about 400 miles so far). They are genuinely nice guys and never disappoint with the performance. The group started in the early 2000s and won season 4 of the Sing Off in 2013. There has been one personnel change since then when Adam Chance replaced Chris Rupp. They sing every genre and have a great time performing great arrangements of both covers and originals. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Your reaction is very similar to mine! The first time I heard them singing this amazing mashup of two hymns I began to cry! It’s just so beautiful! Can’t wait to hear your next reaction home free! They have so many great songs to enjoy! Listen to Angels we have heard on high;… oh holy nigh. Silly songs like Country Fried Pop medly; hillbilly bone;…”Good Ole Boy Good Time”. “Thinking out loud/ Lets get it on:…Champagne Tastes on a Beer Budget;; Man of constant sorrow;…Fishing in the dark/boondocks mashup… die a happy Man;… 7 Bridges Rd; God bless the USA Lee Greenwood in the US Air Force band;… Land of the free;..Dive on in and keep reacting to home free great music!!
You are going to love these guys! They've been around doing the "show band" circuit for about 23 years now. They won TV's A Capella show, "The Sing-Off" in 2013 where they became known as the only "country" A Capella group but believe me, they can do anything. They like to surprise their fans and have a great sense of humor. They like each other, and don't take themselves too seriously. Yes, you can find videos of them singing live and fans say they are great live. They were started by two brothers in college. One of the founding brothers left the group around 2016 or so just to do some things on his own. The other brother is still with the group, and is one of the best beat-boxers you will ever hear. They wrote all the songs on last year's album. Two did a tremendous job 'trying" to sing opera. One wrote a pirate video game theme which the group sang. They have a 5-octave range base singer. Their videos are done well and they try to keep them coming out about every two weeks. They tour the USA and over seas. The video above was done while in Austria. etc. etc. Love the group!
Just wait til you hear the rest of their work ... originals and covers that will blow your mind ! But best of all , you will discover the hearts of these uniquely talented men and learn why we Home Fries (fans of Home Free) adore them ! And you're right , they were meant to sing together !
Church choir backed by a pipe organ(Tim and Chance hit us with the double bass at the end)-the second of the first 4 songs that made a Home Fry. “Man of Constant Sorrow “, “End of the Road”, and “ Do You Hear What I Hear?” will all blow your mind. The first Chance lead I heard melted me-“I Can’t Outrun You “- 5 part harmony, hauntingly beautiful and Chance directed the video. I believe they are Heaven sent, their vocal blend is so gorgeous. I always feel better when I listen to them.
This was filmed in the Austrian Alps. IMHO Home Free is THE best acapella band. They're all vocal chameleons and 3 of them are song writers. They sing (and write) in almost every genre from gospel to goofy. There's a live video of them singing this standing on a picnic table during a thunderstorm ("Home Free Kearney") and a recent video "Sea Santy Medley Live". Dive down the rabbit hole - it's a great trip! Love from a new Canadian subscriber.
Yes, welcome to Home Free, all acapella, no instruments at all. This was filmed in the Austrian Alps, close to where the "Sound of Music" was filmed. They do have a way of picking settings that match up with their songs. Masters of all musical genres. They won the 4th season of the Sing Off in 2013. Their covers are upgrades, their medleys are brilliant, their collaborations with the original artists are inspirational, and their original songs are masterpieces. Within this 5 man vocal band you have 5 tenors, 5 beat boxers, and 2 bass-baritones. All of them can sing lead and they choose depending on whose voice best fits the song. The group consists of Adam Rupp (beat boxer), Rob Lundquist (Tenor), Chris Rupp (Baritone, he left the group in 2016), these three are from Minnesota, Adam Chance (Baritone/Bass Who replaced Chris in 2016) from Alabama, Tim Faust (Bass) from Texas, and Austin Brown (High Tenor) from Georgia. They can do just about anything and they continue to grow and improve, yet they remain so humble. When they have featured guest artist, they support and allow their featured artists to shine. Several of them have their own channels and do some solo work. And just for fun Rob and Austin sing Opera. For a live performance, check out their "Sea Shanty Medley" live video. They did the original Sea Shanty Medley during lock down and it went viral. Ubisoft even asked them to write an original sea shanty for their game Skull and Bones, based on hearing their medley, (and they did). I think their live performance is even better than the original video. What else can I say? Their catalogue of work is quite large and continues to grow. You are in for an exciting journey and the Home Fries will be there for you all the way.
This song is a special treat because all five are singing. The man who sang "It is Well" is one of the world's best beat boxers/vocal percussionists, but rarely sings. Hearing a song like this makes one wonder why he is reluctant to do so.
Thank you for your emotional reaction. I experienced the same thing when I first heard HF do this song. May the Lord be glorified and praised every time it is played.
For a live performance recorded well, there is also Joy to the World at the Hosanna Concert. It includes their prior baritone, founder Chris Rupp (replaced in 2016 by Adam Chance)It has a jazzy gospel feel.
All acapella the lead on this song is the bassist Tim 5 octave range the guy on end with ponytail is Adam their beatboxer this group is the best.. welcome to the rabbit hole ❤❤❤❤❤
Their newest one is their version of Colder Weather it's chilling and pure magic. There are so many fantastic songs from sad, religious, funny and opera believe it as well. 🇬🇧
You have been introduced to my absolutely favorite group a capella or otherwise! Their voices are pure magic together! They can sing songs of reverence like this one, Brothers In Arm or Go Rest High On That Mountain that bring you to tears and they can bring humor to songs like Brother, Life Is A Highway or Champagne Taste On A Beer Budget that bring you to tears of laughter! They sing all genres and have many awesome originals. They touch my heart like no other group. Thank you for a very touching reaction and I love the NY Yankees hat! #HomeFree
I cry every time i hear this. By far my favorite rendition of such a beautiful testimony to our Father 🙏. If you want more goosebumps, might i suggest Home free featuring Peter Hollins doing "Amazing Grace" in a chapel 🕊️💜. They also do a great rendition of "God Bless the USA". Their catalog is a huge rabbit hole.....enjoy the ride 😊
My wife saw them in early 2023 (late January, early February?) at the Egyptian Theater in Boise, Idaho. What an incredible experience! As it turns out, it was to be our last concert together, because she ended up passing away in late March of 2023 from a very serious bacterial infection, at the [relatively] young age of 62. We had been together, like EVERY DAY together, for 28 years... That Home Free concert that we attended was BY FAR the best one of all of the ones we'd been to, and we had seen a LOT of different artists over the years! As sad as I am that she's no longer with me or the rest of her family, I feel that we were TOTALLY BLESSED that Home Free was the last group she ever saw in a concert format. She absolutely LOVED the entire performance!! They're FINALLY comin' back here in October. Thank God!! We'll all (her Idaho family) be there for sure!!! The best of the best of acapella groups that you'll ever get the pleasure of experiencing live if you ever get the chance!!!!!
Home Free are the best. Saw them live in Manchester last September and they were fantastic. Try their beautiful emotional version of Take Me Home Country Roads, or look out for the new video they have coming out next week. They have a huge back catalogue so hoping for lots more reactions.
Yes ‼️… their concerns are Amazing &, so much Fun 🙃❣️‼️… I’m seeing them again in March…3rd X🙃❣️‼️ This is filmed in the Austrian Alps….they had been there for an a cappella get together….&, as flying over here…it was decided…we Have to do this hymn Here ‼️
Home Free are my fav a Capella group, their harmonies are to die for. If you like and message built in listen to them sing Everybody walking this Land.
Welcome to the world of Home Free. If you enjoy acapella and base line keep diving in, you are in for a ride. You will enjoy and thanks for the reaction!!
Wow great reaction. Thank you so much for sharing. I have immediately subscribed, and am looking forward to seeing more Home Free videos. Brothers in Arms is one that will blow your socks off since you enjoy their harmony.
I found HomeFree 4 years ago while looking for a specific song, Country Road. They are the best all around. I've already told my family that when I die, I want this song by Hone Free played @ my funeral. I cry everything I listen to it. Love them and glad you have reacted to the best accapela group out there!!!
Thank you Charlie for the reaction. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Home Free. They have an amazing and vast catalogue. I have never heard a bad song out of them. I love all your reactions.
It's worth getting deeper They voices have the same range as their work. You can find everything: funny, fancy, modern, old school and serious songs The best beatboxer, a bass from deep to heaven and so on ... And believe in me: they are live as good as on the records.
This was actually filmed in the Austrian Alps, while they were on tour there. Did you notice that Adam Rupp the beatboxer sang It is Well? I truly enjoyed watching your reaction to this beautiful song.
Welcome the latest Home Fry. Yes, in person they are great. I have at least 30 of their songs in my playlist. Tough to pick a favorite though you hit the top tear with this one.
They did this video in the Austrian Alps on their way home after the covid shutdown made them have to leave their European tour. You are not the only reactor that was brought to tears with the beauty of this rendition. The brief bit of "It is well" was a rare treat for fans of Home Free. It is notable as the first solo bit from the beatboxer, Adam Rupp, who has a beautiful tenor voice. We get to hear him sing harmony, but usually, he does the vocal percussion and beatboxing exclusively. Adam is the one original member of Home Free. With his brother, Chris, they created the group we know as Home Free. Others will fill you in with lots more information.
They are the most down to earth just good people you will ever meet. They are independent artists so aren’t tied down or restricted by some label somewhere, and that allows them to do what they want artistically. The discoveries coming your way are going to blow your mind.
This hymn definitely makes me emotional--Home Free's version is my very favorite version of all the many, many I have heard 😍 Besides the unbelievable 5-part harmony--and gorgeous backdrop of the Austrian Alps--getting to hear Adam Rupp (their incomparable beatboxer) sing is a real treat ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️ #HomeFree #AdamRuppSinging
Just subscribed with hopes for more Home Free reactions. Just wait until you get to see what Adam, the beatboxer, can do. Home Free is the best! They do a huge variety of music and each have a very impressive vocal range. They hamonize beautifully, the beatboxer can't be beat, they have . A great sense of humor and they are generally good people. This is why we love them. I don't even think of them as an acapella group anymore but just my favorite band. Thanks for the Home Free reaction. Looking forward to more. Enjoy your Home Free journey!
Saw these guys live during their Home for the Holidays tour, and they sang this one. So, so good! It brings me to tears every time I hear it! If you liked this one, check out Go Rest High on that Mountain! That one is just as amazing! Thanks for the reaction!
Home Free is simply amazing and for me the number 1 A-cappella group. Five great voices, each with their own specialty. The best harmonies From Left to Right: • Adam Chance(called Chance)-Baritone/bass with a voice so smooth and sexy with a slightly raspy edge. Performs alternating bass with Tim (bass 1) •Austin Brown-High tenor with a voice so powerful and with great runs. •Tim Foust- Bass, but can reach ranges from high to low. •Rob Lundquist-Tenor, with a voice as soft as silk, so soulful, but oh so versatile. A great whistler. •Adam Rupp- Beatboxer/vocal artist. What he can do vocally is simply non-human. Coincidentally, he doesn't show it in this song. Here he sings a very small piece of solo, which he rarely does, even though he has a good tenor voice. He started Home Free in 2000 with his brother Chris Rupp and three others. Over the years, a few members left and were replaced. Rob joined in 2008, Tim in 2012, but had already participated once in 2010. Austin came in 2013. That year they also participated in the Sing Off and won. In 2016, Chris left the group to work on his solo career and other projects (including 7th Ave with sister Tristin). He was replaced by Chance. By the way, they can all beatbox, which is also demonstrated in the live performance of the song 9to5. But how beautifully they sing this song, for me the best performance. They show that music is emotion. Even my mother (86), a true Christian, often asks if I want to play this. Because in addition to that great singing, this is of course also a video in a wonderful scenery. Follow Home Free and you won't regret it. Because even though they officially do country, they can really do all the genres. Suggestion: (starting with) "Man Of Constant Sorrow", "Ring Of Fire", End Of the Road", Brothers in Arms", "Stand By Me", "Colder Weather" 😊
Home Free is amazing! If you want to check out a good live video of them, search for “Go Rest High On That Mountain” The Church Sessions. It’s another cover with no beatboxing (just wait until you hear their beatboxer, tho!), with their baritone (Chance) covering the bass line and their bass (Tim) singing harmonies. It’s another emotional one, so prepare yourself! 😊
Love this song. I think your emotion to this song is wonderful. You have a tender heart. When my Dad was nearing then end of his life, he asked me to sing this song at his funeral. I stopped and looked at him and said "um... no" I knew I wouldn't make it through this song alone, so my two adult daughters sang it with me. We stood at the pulpit with our arms around each other, and it was perfect. We were blessed.
Oh wow. That is so special. I'm truly blessed and touched by your comment. Thank you so much for sharing that ❤️❤️❤️
As the saying goes, "When Home Free sings, the angels stop to listen."
I have a theory that these 5 gentlemen are angels on loan to help us through these times.....
@@laurafarano4557 - could be devils tempting us to idolatry, too
Oh, what a bright and happy comment. @@jeremylarson6267
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. These talented gentlemen sing almost anything with flare a unique arrangements. They have yet to disappoint. How Great Thou Art is one of my favorites and a great song to start with.
Their Christmas Album is something else! Yet absolutely EVERYTHING they do is perfect 🥰🎶
Welcome to the best vocal group around, their voices are amazing and they are just so down to earth, great guys, enjoy the ride

I can’t tell you how many times these guys have made me ball my eyes out.
I can’t tell you how many times these guys have had me laughing.
I have always said that they were meant to be together.
I thank God for giving them to all of us.
"In the blood" by Home Free is one you should react to, unbelievably beautiful.
I second that, a great John Mayer song that Home Free knocks out the park and leaves you with tears in your eyes.
Their version of "In the Blood" is also one of my favorite performances by HF but they are ALL great!
Yes!
Welcome to Home Free. The video was shot in the Austrian Alps.
It's a GOOD thing that you feel that way! ZERO shame or guilt! Those who do not feel the way you felt are badly missing the truth. This has been my favorite acapella group for years!

They are just as impressive live
If you really want to hear this live, look up them singing this in a tent, standing on a picnic table during a thunderstorm in Kearny, MO. It doesn't get more live than that.
I had to go find that. Oh my. No equipment. No production. Just 5 amazing singers. Thanks for mentioning that!
I have watched that so many times ❤
It is good for what it is, but it is recorded on a phone, so it is limited. However, that they chose to go and sing like that for fans that were run out of the amphitheater by a thunderstorm speaks volumes for their character.
Thank you! I hadn't found this recording yet. Once again the pure talent just shines!!
Rob's power shines out especially in that one.

If you want to hear them live, the best version is probably their live version of the sea shanty melody. It is their only "official" live video.
Yes! The live versions out there are Fan Cam videos. While they are fun to watch, the sound never comes through. I finally saw them live this last year and the professionally recorded Sea Shanty is what it really sounded like in person.
Both Sea Shanty Medleys - official live and the music video are great. But they also have another official live version of 'Dreamer'
@TheCharlieSmithChannel Dreamer, LIVE at the Ryman feat. Texas Hill is not only a great collaboration but also an original AND there’s a fun mid-song intro of everyone by Tim.

I've seen them live, and they are amazing live. They hit all the notes they put on their records. Truly a talented group.
I've heard this song hundreds of times and still tear up every time! The Awesome harmony and the visual beauty is unbelievable! My favorite vocal group and my favorite video! Thank for sharing, I had the same reaction!
Just as little friendly advice, always let the Home Free videos run to the end, they often leave a message or a funny nugget at the end of their videos, they talk to their Home Fries often about the message of each song. They can do stunning vocal arrangements like this, they can do funny and goofy, and they don't confine themselves to a genre, they lean country, but do all manner of genres (wait til you hear them sing opera!).
As much as I appreciate chances vocal percussion, the songs where he sings are my favorites.
@@bradclifton5248 Adam Rupp, not Chance
@@MyLorissa yup, sorry
Your reaction and comments were spot on for me. This masterpiece was filmed in Austria when they were in Europe for a conference. Others will fill you in on the particulars. I have had the pleasure to see them in concert five times so far and will definitely go again whenever they have a show within range (about 400 miles so far). They are genuinely nice guys and never disappoint with the performance. The group started in the early 2000s and won season 4 of the Sing Off in 2013. There has been one personnel change since then when Adam Chance replaced Chris Rupp. They sing every genre and have a great time performing great arrangements of both covers and originals. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Your reaction is very similar to mine! The first time I heard them singing this amazing mashup of two hymns I began to cry! It’s just so beautiful! Can’t wait to hear your next reaction home free! They have so many great songs to enjoy! Listen to Angels we have heard on high;… oh holy nigh. Silly songs like Country Fried Pop medly; hillbilly bone;…”Good Ole Boy Good Time”. “Thinking out loud/ Lets get it on:…Champagne Tastes on a Beer Budget;; Man of constant sorrow;…Fishing in the dark/boondocks mashup… die a happy Man;… 7 Bridges Rd; God bless the USA Lee Greenwood in the US Air Force band;… Land of the free;..Dive on in and keep reacting to home free great music!!
You are going to love these guys! They've been around doing the "show band" circuit for about 23 years now. They won TV's A Capella show, "The Sing-Off" in 2013 where they became known as the only "country" A Capella group but believe me, they can do anything. They like to surprise their fans and have a great sense of humor. They like each other, and don't take themselves too seriously. Yes, you can find videos of them singing live and fans say they are great live. They were started by two brothers in college. One of the founding brothers left the group around 2016 or so just to do some things on his own. The other brother is still with the group, and is one of the best beat-boxers you will ever hear. They wrote all the songs on last year's album. Two did a tremendous job 'trying" to sing opera. One wrote a pirate video game theme which the group sang. They have a 5-octave range base singer. Their videos are done well and they try to keep them coming out about every two weeks. They tour the USA and over seas. The video above was done while in Austria. etc. etc. Love the group!
Chris Rupp moved onto a solo career and other vocal group pursuits and Adam Chance joined in Spring 2016.
Beautiful singing in God's beautiful Creation ❤
Just wait til you hear the rest of their work ... originals and covers that will blow your mind ! But best of all , you will discover the hearts of these uniquely talented men and learn why we Home Fries (fans of Home Free) adore them ! And you're right , they were meant to sing together !
I havnt listened to the radio in 5 years. Best vocals are independant artist who have control over their music
Church choir backed by a pipe organ(Tim and Chance hit us with the double bass at the end)-the second of the first 4 songs that made a Home Fry. “Man of Constant Sorrow “, “End of the Road”, and “ Do You Hear What I Hear?” will all blow your mind. The first Chance lead I heard melted me-“I Can’t Outrun You “- 5 part harmony, hauntingly beautiful and Chance directed the video. I believe they are Heaven sent, their vocal blend is so gorgeous. I always feel better when I listen to them.
Amen! Great suggestions!
This was filmed in the Austrian Alps. IMHO Home Free is THE best acapella band. They're all vocal chameleons and 3 of them are song writers. They sing (and write) in almost every genre from gospel to goofy. There's a live video of them singing this standing on a picnic table during a thunderstorm ("Home Free Kearney") and a recent video "Sea Santy Medley Live". Dive down the rabbit hole - it's a great trip! Love from a new Canadian subscriber.
If you have the opportunity to see them live, don’t hesitate. They are just as amazing!
Yes, welcome to Home Free, all acapella, no instruments at all. This was filmed in the Austrian Alps, close to where the "Sound of Music" was filmed. They do have a way of picking settings that match up with their songs. Masters of all musical genres. They won the 4th season of the Sing Off in 2013. Their covers are upgrades, their medleys are brilliant, their collaborations with the original artists are inspirational, and their original songs are masterpieces. Within this 5 man vocal band you have 5 tenors, 5 beat boxers, and 2 bass-baritones. All of them can sing lead and they choose depending on whose voice best fits the song. The group consists of Adam Rupp (beat boxer), Rob Lundquist (Tenor), Chris Rupp (Baritone, he left the group in 2016), these three are from Minnesota, Adam Chance (Baritone/Bass Who replaced Chris in 2016) from Alabama, Tim Faust (Bass) from Texas, and Austin Brown (High Tenor) from Georgia. They can do just about anything and they continue to grow and improve, yet they remain so humble. When they have featured guest artist, they support and allow their featured artists to shine. Several of them have their own channels and do some solo work. And just for fun Rob and Austin sing Opera. For a live performance, check out their "Sea Shanty Medley" live video. They did the original Sea Shanty Medley during lock down and it went viral. Ubisoft even asked them to write an original sea shanty for their game Skull and Bones, based on hearing their medley, (and they did). I think their live performance is even better than the original video. What else can I say? Their catalogue of work is quite large and continues to grow. You are in for an exciting journey and the Home Fries will be there for you all the way.
Great synopsis but it's Tim FOUST, not Faust.
As someone who has seen them live, and seen them perform this very song, I can attest that this is an accurate representation. They are INCREDIBLE. ❤
These guys are the best, keep digging and watch more. They do not disappoint ❤
This song is a special treat because all five are singing. The man who sang "It is Well" is one of the world's best beat boxers/vocal percussionists, but rarely sings. Hearing a song like this makes one wonder why he is reluctant to do so.
Thank you for your emotional reaction. I experienced the same thing when I first heard HF do this song. May the Lord be glorified and praised every time it is played.
For a live performance recorded well, there is also Joy to the World at the Hosanna Concert. It includes their prior baritone, founder Chris Rupp (replaced in 2016 by Adam Chance)It has a jazzy gospel feel.
They are just as good live.
All acapella the lead on this song is the bassist Tim 5 octave range the guy on end with ponytail is Adam their beatboxer this group is the best.. welcome to the rabbit hole ❤❤❤❤❤
Welcome! What a wonderful start to this amazing journey with Home Free! Truely enjoyed your heart felt reaction!
Their newest one is their version of Colder Weather it's chilling and pure magic. There are so many fantastic songs from sad, religious, funny and opera believe it as well. 🇬🇧
You have been introduced to my absolutely favorite group a capella or otherwise! Their voices are pure magic together! They can sing songs of reverence like this one, Brothers In Arm or Go Rest High On That Mountain that bring you to tears and they can bring humor to songs like Brother, Life Is A Highway or Champagne Taste On A Beer Budget that bring you to tears of laughter! They sing all genres and have many awesome originals. They touch my heart like no other group. Thank you for a very touching reaction and I love the NY Yankees hat! #HomeFree
Great suggestions here!
So sad that Austin has just announced he’s leaving the group 😢
They are my favorite group to. Tim did a great job,Rob Austin and Chance. Adam Rupp did a great job on the How Great Thou Art.❤❤❤❤❤❤
They did a great job. Home Free is my favorite. Thank u for sharing this song. Take care.
I cry every time i hear this. By far my favorite rendition of such a beautiful testimony to our Father 🙏. If you want more goosebumps, might i suggest Home free featuring Peter Hollins doing "Amazing Grace" in a chapel 🕊️💜. They also do a great rendition of "God Bless the USA". Their catalog is a huge rabbit hole.....enjoy the ride 😊
My wife saw them in early 2023 (late January, early February?) at the Egyptian Theater in Boise, Idaho.
What an incredible experience! As it turns out, it was to be our last concert together, because she ended up passing away in late March of 2023 from a very serious bacterial infection, at the [relatively] young age of 62. We had been together, like EVERY DAY together, for 28 years...
That Home Free concert that we attended was BY FAR the best one of all of the ones we'd been to, and we had seen a LOT of different artists over the years!
As sad as I am that she's no longer with me or the rest of her family, I feel that we were TOTALLY BLESSED that Home Free was the last group she ever saw in a concert format.
She absolutely LOVED the entire performance!!
They're FINALLY comin' back here in October. Thank God!!
We'll all (her Idaho family) be there for sure!!!
The best of the best of acapella groups that you'll ever get the pleasure of experiencing live if you ever get the chance!!!!!
Your reaction is just like mine when I listen to this song. What a beautiful song to introduce you to Home Free.
Home Free are the best. Saw them live in Manchester last September and they were fantastic. Try their beautiful emotional version of Take Me Home Country Roads, or look out for the new video they have coming out next week. They have a huge back catalogue so hoping for lots more reactions.
Woohoo! A new to me Home Free reaction channel! Glad you loved them.
Their cover of Brothers in Arms is POWERFUL 😢
Yes ‼️… their concerns are Amazing &, so much Fun 🙃❣️‼️… I’m seeing them again in March…3rd X🙃❣️‼️
This is filmed in the Austrian Alps….they had been there for an a cappella get together….&, as flying over here…it was decided…we Have to do this hymn Here ‼️
They sang this live at a concert without speakers because of a storm that came through. It was beautiful.
We do love a person who loves Home Free as much we Home Fries love them! Welcome aboard!
I’ve heard this song all my life, they sing it best by far!
Home Free are my fav a Capella group, their harmonies are to die for.
If you like and message built in listen to them sing Everybody walking this Land.
Welcome to the world of Home Free. If you enjoy acapella and base line keep diving in, you are in for a ride. You will enjoy and thanks for the reaction!!
Wow great reaction. Thank you so much for sharing. I have immediately subscribed, and am looking forward to seeing more Home Free videos. Brothers in Arms is one that will blow your socks off since you enjoy their harmony.
no matter how many times I listen to their version I am always covered in chills. they are an incredible group and you will not be disappointed!
This is one of those songs you have to have your headphones on and volume as high as you can handle it. It brings me to tears every time too!!
I found HomeFree 4 years ago while looking for a specific song, Country Road. They are the best all around. I've already told my family that when I die, I want this song by Hone Free played @ my funeral. I cry everything I listen to it. Love them and glad you have reacted to the best accapela group out there!!!
I loved your reaction. May I say you are an Empath. You have some very special gifts.
Watching from North Carolina. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Charlie for the reaction. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Home Free. They have an amazing and vast catalogue. I have never heard a bad song out of them. I love all your reactions.
I love your teary reactions! Truthful reaction for sure! So glad you’ve found Home Free, they are simply the very best in my opinion!
Everything they touch is gold
It's worth getting deeper
They voices have the same range as their work. You can find everything: funny, fancy, modern, old school and serious songs
The best beatboxer, a bass from deep to heaven and so on ...
And believe in me: they are live as good as on the records.
This was actually filmed in the Austrian Alps, while they were on tour there. Did you notice that Adam Rupp the beatboxer sang It is Well? I truly enjoyed watching your reaction to this beautiful song.
Welcome the latest Home Fry. Yes, in person they are great. I have at least 30 of their songs in my playlist. Tough to pick a favorite though you hit the top tear with this one.
They did this video in the Austrian Alps on their way home after the covid shutdown made them have to leave their European tour.
You are not the only reactor that was brought to tears with the beauty of this rendition.
The brief bit of "It is well" was a rare treat for fans of Home Free. It is notable as the first solo bit from the beatboxer, Adam Rupp, who has a beautiful tenor voice. We get to hear him sing harmony, but usually, he does the vocal percussion and beatboxing exclusively.
Adam is the one original member of Home Free. With his brother, Chris, they created the group we know as Home Free. Others will fill you in with lots more information.
BEST SONG they ever did❤❤❤❤❤
They are the most down to earth just good people you will ever meet. They are independent artists so aren’t tied down or restricted by some label somewhere, and that allows them to do what they want artistically. The discoveries coming your way are going to blow your mind.
Go Rest High on The Church Session never leaves my eyes dry
Displaying the Majesty of our Great God
Great reaction, thank you! Subscribed for more Home Free.
MORE HOME FREE PLEASE, SUBBED BECAUSE OF THEM AND NOW YOU🙃
Same here!!
This hymn definitely makes me emotional--Home Free's version is my very favorite version of all the many, many I have heard 😍
Besides the unbelievable 5-part harmony--and gorgeous backdrop of the Austrian Alps--getting to hear Adam Rupp (their incomparable beatboxer) sing is a real treat ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
#HomeFree #AdamRuppSinging
Just wait until he hears Peter Hollens ft Home Free singing Amazing Grace...... heck let's face it, everything they do is amazing
New sub here! Home Free will continue to make an impact on you the more you listen to them! More home free reactions!
Loved your reaction!
Thanks for your heartfelt reaction. Looking forward to more HF reviews!
Great reaction, Charlie. For a live reaction to Home Free, do their Sea Shanty Medley Live. You wont regret it!
They sounds just as good in person!!
Just subscribed with hopes for more Home Free reactions. Just wait until you get to see what Adam, the beatboxer, can do. Home Free is the best! They do a huge variety of music and each have a very impressive vocal range. They hamonize beautifully, the beatboxer can't be beat, they have . A great sense of humor and they are generally good people. This is why we love them. I don't even think of them as an acapella group anymore but just my favorite band. Thanks for the Home Free reaction. Looking forward to more. Enjoy your Home Free journey!
Saw them almost 1year ago live, and I'm still recovering! I honestly would not have believed they could be better, but, goodness!!! 👀🤯😁
Saw these guys live during their Home for the Holidays tour, and they sang this one. So, so good! It brings me to tears every time I hear it!
If you liked this one, check out Go Rest High on that Mountain! That one is just as amazing!
Thanks for the reaction!
I love your raw emotion to this song and Home Free. That video gets me every time and I've watched it a hundred times...at least. lol
Buckle up, the Home Free rabbit hole runs very deep!!!👍 Nice reaction!
Always makes me tear up how beautiful 🥺🥺🙏🏻🙏🏻
Home Free is simply amazing and for me the number 1 A-cappella group. Five great voices, each with their own specialty. The best harmonies
From Left to Right:
• Adam Chance(called Chance)-Baritone/bass with a voice so smooth and sexy with a slightly raspy edge. Performs alternating bass with Tim (bass 1)
•Austin Brown-High tenor with a voice so powerful and with great runs.
•Tim Foust- Bass, but can reach ranges from high to low. •Rob Lundquist-Tenor, with a voice as soft as silk, so soulful, but oh so versatile. A great whistler.
•Adam Rupp- Beatboxer/vocal artist. What he can do vocally is simply non-human. Coincidentally, he doesn't show it in this song. Here he sings a very small piece of solo, which he rarely does, even though he has a good tenor voice.
He started Home Free in 2000 with his brother Chris Rupp and three others. Over the years, a few members left and were replaced. Rob joined in 2008, Tim in 2012, but had already participated once in 2010. Austin came in 2013. That year they also participated in the Sing Off and won. In 2016, Chris left the group to work on his solo career and other projects (including 7th Ave with sister Tristin). He was replaced by Chance. By the way, they can all beatbox, which is also demonstrated in the live performance of the song 9to5.
But how beautifully they sing this song, for me the best performance. They show that music is emotion. Even my mother (86), a true Christian, often asks if I want to play this. Because in addition to that great singing, this is of course also a video in a wonderful scenery. Follow Home Free and you won't regret it. Because even though they officially do country, they can really do all the genres.
Suggestion:
(starting with) "Man Of Constant Sorrow",
"Ring Of Fire",
End Of the Road",
Brothers in Arms",
"Stand By Me",
"Colder Weather"
😊
I believe you said it perfectly-these guys were meant to sing together. Can’t wait to see more! Signed, new sub
PS: They have 2 guys who sing bass!
Home Free is amazing! If you want to check out a good live video of them, search for “Go Rest High On That Mountain” The Church Sessions. It’s another cover with no beatboxing (just wait until you hear their beatboxer, tho!), with their baritone (Chance) covering the bass line and their bass (Tim) singing harmonies. It’s another emotional one, so prepare yourself! 😊
Their album 'Dive Bar Saints' is full of originals many of which are stunning is a great place to go.
