The song is a dedication/remembrance/tribute to three musicians that died in a plane wreck on February 3, 1959 those killed were Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and J.P. Richardson (The Big Bopper). The day the music died.. Buddy Holly was just recently married (the widowed bride).. that's why the song "gets dark" as you mentioned..
Your “He has range??!!” Had me chuckling 😄 ‘cause sweetie you ain’t heard nothing yet! Edited for a breakdown of the group. Official version: Beatboxer: Adam Rupp High tenor: Austin Brown Lead tenor: Rob Lundquist Baritone/bass: Adam Chance (goes by Chance to avoid confusion) Bass: Tim Foust However… all five of them can beatbox to some degree All five can sing in tenor range At least three can sing baritone And at least two can sing bass
Just wait til you hear his actual range cause when you guys do it's gonna blow your mind. If you wanna see his actual range. Tim and Austin have they're own channels also separate from home free where they do separate solo projects. Tim just released a song recently cover of "since I don't have you" you guys gotta check it out then you'll see his real range and it'll 🤯
You can listen to Mayday. You've already witnessed Tim Foust"s incredible vocal range which is also featured in Mayday. This rendition really gives all five guys and Don a chance to shine. Good choice. Thanks for this one. Do You Hear What I Hear is tremendous. Take care
@@matthines4748 Do you hear what I hear was arranged by Adam Rupp who definitely marches to the beat of a different drummer(no pun intended). The song has an eerie quality to it, that you don't normally hear in Christmas Music.
I am one of the subscribers who recommended that you react to this version of Don McLean's American Pie. There are several points that I would like to make about this version and maybe answer some of your questions. First of all, Don McLean, who is now in his 70's sounds amazing and is still touring. He came to Home Free to do this collaboration because he has seen others combine with them and they sounded fanstastic. If you want to check out another great collaboration, check out "Elvira" with the Oak Ridge Boys. 2. The "Man in the Hat" name is Adam Chance and he is the newest member of the group. He goes by Chance because the group already had one member named Adam, Adam Rupp, the beat boxer extraordinaire. Chance is a natural baritone, with a great range. He takes over for Tim in singing bass when Tim goes to lead. He also can go up to cover the tenor range also. He also helps with some of the beat boxing and sound effects. 3. Tim Fouts, the bass singer has a 5-octave range, which is amazing. He has recorded a record on his own of Doo-Wop songs where he sings all of the lead and harmony parts. He has a couple of these videos on TH-cam. 4. Rob, the tenor with the heavy beard and glasses and Austin, the other tenor, have recorded a video that is titled " Two Country Singers try to Sing Opera" and sing a fantastic version of Nessum Dorma that you ought to check out too. 5. The group also has a funny side, to go along with their serious work. Christmas songs like "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" and "Christmas Cheer" are both hilarious. They also have a couple of medlies out that are funny too, such as "The Butts Remix" and the "Sea Chanty Medley" have great singing and harmonies, but also show the guys' wacky side. With all of the songs that I have mentioned, I have just scratched the surface of the group. I am very glad that you found them and are taking the trip down this rabbit hole.
Adam Rupp (beat boxer/tenor) started the group in 2000 with his brother Chris Rupp (baritone) who left the group in 2016. Rob Lundquist (sweet tenor/beard & glasses) joined the group in 2008. Austin Brown (high tenor) and Tim Foust (bass with a 5 octave range) both joined the group in 2012. Adam Chance (hat guy/baritone-bass/goes by Chance since there was already an Adam) joined the group in 2016. Love your reactions❤
"Go rest high on that mountain" with a patriotic video will bring tears to your eyes. God bless the USA with Homefree, Lee Greenwood, and the US Air Force Singing Sergeants. Both are well worth reacting to.
Howdy Ladies, That is Adam Chance, (Man in the hat) he goes by Chance as the Beatboxer is Adam Rupp.. just avoids some confusion. He is their Country "Love" Song guy. This was done right at the end of the Lockdowns so they filmed some of the parts in different places. One of the best examples of him taking the lead is th-cam.com/video/0X9ZbHPsVKM/w-d-xo.html their cover of Cover me up. You will kick yourselves if you do not play it all the way to the end LOL Oh BTW did you notice you "Low Bass" Tim singing Tenor LOL you do those things with a 5-6 Octave range
Home Free doesn’t do covers, they do UPGRADES!! The beat boxer is Adam Rupp, he has won the world wide competition twice, he’s from Minnesota. Adam Chance (goes by “Chance” for less confusion), he’s the baritone/bass & covers bass when Tim sings lead, he’s the guy in the hat & he’s from lower Alabama. Austin Brown the is red head high tenor & he’s from southern Georgia but he was trained & can sing without his “twang”, when he needs to. Tim Foust is the super bassman, but has a 5 octave range & he is from southeast Texas. Rob Lundquist (glasses & beard) is the lead tenor and he is from Minnesota too. The guys do their own original songs besides covers. Tim & Austin write quite a few songs in collaboration with other friends. Their Christmas songs are not to be missed! You should check them out!!
One thing: While Tim was singing the high melody line, did you notice that the bass line continued on? That was Adam Chance. He's got some serious range too, and takes the bass parts when Tim sings up high.
Tim is a true basso profundo, but has a 5+ octave range (nearly 6..). Chance takes the bass line when he has lead. Don asked Home Free to do this collab with him for the song's 50th anniversary.
You are ready for "Mayday". Austin Brown - High Tenor Rob Lundquist - Tenor Adam "Chance" - Baritone Tim Foust - Bass Adam Rupp - Beatboxer (These are their most common roles, but they like to surprise you) Chris Rupp - Tenor Founder & Adam Rupp's Brother Balding / Cowboy Hat / Cap "Chance" replaced him when he left in 2016. I think you are starting to get an inkling of why the Home Fries are so passionate about this group.
At some point you just absolutely have to listen to Peter Hollens and Home Free collaborate with about 300 of their Patreon members during the covid lockdown doing the U2 song "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". It's amazing, It's mind blowing. Peter Hollens is great, Home Free is great but when that 300 member choir comes in, it's like Ear Candy Heaven. Great job as always ladies...Keep 'em coming!
I knew you'd love this version! Everyone was represented in this (Don, followed by Adam Chance (who does bass when Tim is singing solos), followed by Austin, followed by Rob, followed by Tim, with Don wrapping it up... all kept in time by the human drum kit, Adam Rupp - who also has an amazing tenor voice). One of the reasons for the "boxes" was that this was made during the pandemic and they were all separate. Another suggestion is Home Free's cover of the Crosby, Stills & Nash song "Helplessly Hoping". And to really get an example of Tim's 5 octave range, check out his solo of the Frankie Valley song "Will You Still Love Me / Stay"... you WILL be blown away! for Home Fee Christmas, I highly recommend "Mary Did You Know".
A couple of other collabs they did are just as amazing - "Elvira" with the Oak Ridge Boys, "God Bless the USA" with Lee Greenwood and the US Air Force Band, and "Children Go Where I Send Thee" with Kenny Rogers, plus others. Home Free have an amazing repertoire that I look forward to you exploring!
I loved your facial expressions. Not over the top. I saw it in the eyes 👀 when Tim started singing his verse. You had to control that urge to pause & exclaim “What?!” They all have amazing voices & vocal ranges but TIM 🤯. Once you listen to HF, you’re hooked.
Time for more Home Free recommendations: Ain't Going Down Til The Sun Comes Up Blue Ain't Your Color Elvira (with The Oakridge Boys) Go Rest High Upon That Mountain....(IF you want tears for days. Still an amazing song) Amazing Grace How Great Thou Art Mary Did You Know They did one with the late Kenny Rogers, but I don't remember the name. And, if you want to have ANOTHER awesome creator/singer, check out Peter Hollens. He does some incredible collabs.
I'm very glad you are becoming New home fries and I saw you are doing a Christmas 🎄 video I hope you choose a couple Home Free Christmas video. Snow Globe, I hear what you hear.
Ladies, his name is Adam Chance. Now listen to "Some Girls do", and "Blue ain't your color". When Tim hits the higher notes, Chance picks up the baseline, and does it very well. Chance is from Alabama, Tim from Texas, Austin from Georgia, Adam Rupp and Rob Lundquist are from Minnesota.
Now it’s probably time for you lovely ladies to react to “Mayday”. You’ll be twice as blown away. Your reactions are great. Thanks for reacting to Home Free.
Love this remake of this classic song. Can't believe it came out 50 years ago. Don McLean still has a good voice for his age. And love hearing all the guys take a turn in a verse. Poor Adam had to do such a long stretch of beatboxing but he nailed it. Think the song is about 8 min. long. Don McLean received his Hollywood Star on the Walk of Fame recently & Home Free was invited to sing a portion of this song there. What an honor for them. "American Pie" pays tribute to the loss of 3 legends who died so young (Buddy Holly, Richie Valens & The Big Bopper). A lot of references in the song are made to many artists from the early days of music including Elvis, Janis Joplin, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Byrds & others.
Try "End of the Road" to give yourself a genre shift. Or "Seven Bridges Road" for another genre. Or their recently released "Road Sweet Road" which is an original.
Fantastic reaction ladies Don Mclain had asked Home Free to do this for the 50th anniversary of his song and even had them perform at his star celebration on the walk of fame.
Home Free and Don McLean recorded this for the 50th Anniversary tribute to Don's "American Pie". This song is one of the great masterpieces of the rock era and Home Free really did justice to this iconic classic.
The fact that so many other performers want to sing with HF shows how amazing they are. But I think my favorite is Diana Ross who didn’t sing with them but asked them to perform at her 75th birthday. They had about four days notice but of course said yes. She had seen their video of Love Train.
It’s an older video but you REALLY need to hear their Do You Hear What I Hear. Chance isn’t in it. When it was recorded the beat boxer’s brother was still with the group. The song is not only a treat for your ears but the setting is simply visually stunning. It’s the whole package as a Christmas song.
The different segments with all of their different voices is something you never knew this song needed until you heard it. A couple of their songs you should hit are "How Great Thou Art" and "Go Rest High On That Mountain". And when you want something on the lighter side listen to "The Butts Remix"
Love watching you discover Home Free.They are amazing.💖You should check out the Drum Solo video,it will blow.you away.😱Butts remix will have you rolling on the floor😂😂and the Guilty Pleasure s will.keep you there🤣😂🤣 .Keep.the reaction videos coming .You rock the 😁
Do you hear what I hear is an awesome one for Christmas. It has Chris their founder in it. He is Adam (beatboxers) brother and Chance took his place when he left the group. Adam arranged this song and it was filmed at an Ice Castle in Minnesota where Adam, Chris and Rob(beard & glasses) are from. You will love it. Thanks,Ladies!
My other 3 fellas are from the south. Tim, bass from Texas, Chance, baritone from Alabama, Austin, high tenor from Georgia. Each and every one of these fellas are all extremely talented. Thank you !! 🎼🎄🎶☃️🎵♥️
One of the reasons i love Home Free so much, is that you always come away feeling good! Even their sad/emotional songs leave you feeling uplifted. They are just an amazing group of guys!
The first singer was Adam Chance, however, most people call him Chance because the beatboxer's name is Adam Rupp, so they call The beatboxer Adam and the baritone you referred to in the hat is Chance. Tim has a rare 5-octave range.
The first Home Free singer Adam Chance is the guy who opened and closed Man of Constant Sorrow with his throat singing instrument sounds. He does a lot of instrument sounds and he sings bass when Tim sings lead. He generally sings baritone, but he can also sing tenor. Check out Can't Stop the Feeling where he joins in for an instrumental section.
If you want to hear more of Adam Chance (the first singer after McLean), I recommend Sea Chanty Medley (filmed during Covid), Winter Song, Castle on the Hill, and Brothers in Arms (in that you also get to hear Tim’s incredible low bass). Don’t miss their incredible Christmas songs! Do You Hear What I Hear (arranged by beatboxer Adam Rupp - with his brother Chris, who Chance replaced in 2016), O’ Holy Night, Full of Cheer, Cold Hard Cash, and so many more. You also shouldn’t miss How Great Thou Art.
Home Free has so many great songs to choose from that you could keep busy for several weeks listening to them all. I love their versions of "Woman, Amen / Female" (a mashup); Meet in the Middle (a great country hit); In the Blood; "Thinking Out Loud / Let's Get It On" (another mashup), and Ed Sheeran's Castle On The Hill. These are all stylistically different and give you a sense of their range.
Suggestions, ladies: For tenor, Rob Lindquist: HF's End of the Road cover. For Chance: Born in the USA. Austin: Crazy (since you have already heard When A Man Loves A Woman.) Tim Foust: Hillbilly Bone. And for something completely different--Sea Shanty Medley! Or Helplessly Hoping--pure harmony! For Christmas: Cold Hard Cash (a Home Free original). Also Unchained Melody & Working For A Living & Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget (Tim Foust original song). I don't know if anyone has told you yet---Austin Brown & Tim Foust have posted songs on their own youtube channels. Tim Foust has released a DooWop album--not to be missed! Talk about range! These talented guys have recorded enough songs to keep you busy for-uh-years. Enjoy the eargasms!
I love how the daughter's jaw always hits the floor when Tim starts singing. Great reaction! Aren't they amazing? For Christmas, any of their holiday songs. Do you hear what I hear is their best! If you want to hear all 6 of the them, try O come o come Emanuel. Angels We have heard on High will again have your jaws on the floor. Of course, What Christmas Means to Me, Christmas Ain't for the Lonely and everyone's favorite Full of Cheer are always lovely! For New Years, you absolutely have to listen to Alde Lang Syne!!!!! You are both lovely! Thank you for sharing!
I'm a fairly recent Home Fry myself so I'll recommend their video Working for a Living (an old Huey Lewis song) which shows their names as they sing so you can see and besides, it's a funny one. Yes, the guys make us smile and lift up our spirits and they talk about very important issues too. We all kinda have crushes on them and soon you'll recognize the voices with your eyes closed!
In addition to the recommendations in the other comments, I really like their cover of Maren Morris's "My Church". And it's so fun to watch reactors getting blown away by Home Free. I still am getting blown away as well with each song that I hear for the 1st few times. I am pacing my way through their repetoire, in part to maintain that air of wonder. Great reaction, as if the other (& better) comments don't make that point well enough.
The guy "In the hat" is Adam Chance... They call him Chance because the beat boxers name is also Adam... He is Adam Rupp. The other guys are , Bass.. Tim Faust, Lead tenor.. Austin Brown and Second tenor.. Rob Lundquist. All of these guys including the beat boxer can sing! Please react to "Children go where I send thee" They sung this with the late great Kenny Rodgers and it is fantastic! There is a different "Guy in a hat" in that song though because the beat boxers brother "Chris Rupp" was still with the group then and Chance came in when Chris left. The "High pitch" stuff you were talking about is Austin doing his thing :-) The beat boxer also does high notes when needed.
These are five really talented guys. The guy in the hat is Adam Chance, usually called Chance. If you want more of him, 2 often overlooked songs are their cover of Ed Sheeran's "Castle on the Hill", and their cover of "Some girls do." Sorry can't remember the original artist.
I subscribed to your channel for one reason - to watch your journey with Home Free. They are arguably the best acapella group on the planet. It's amazing how much talent they have and believe me, you have just begun. I agree that you should wait until you are comfortable with your knowledge of the group before you react to "Mayday." I would recommend "The Driver," "Cover Me Up" (which features Chance as the lead), "Helplessly Hoping," or "Catch Me If You Can." For something that showcases their sense of humor, I would recommend "The Butts Medley," or "All About The Base."
I love your reactions!! so glad you did this song. Adam Chance (aka Chance) has a solo channel and he covered Driver's License - you would love that cover with his voice. also, if you think Tim Foust sang high in this, you need to check out his channel and react to Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. that will blow you away!!! you need to do a comedic song try the Butts Medley you won't be disappointed thanks ladies!!
To fall in love with them a little more try "Woman, Amen/Female" or to hear Adam Chance (hat guy) more try "Some Girls Do" that has his then girlfriend/now wife in the video. Any Home Free song you pick will be good.
Chance, the guy in the hat, does the bass when Tim sings lead. He is also often paired with the tenors, Rob and Austin, on other songs. You can always tell when Chance or Tim sings bass. Chance was the bass in his prior group. His low voice allows Tim to sing more lead.
due to Covid several song like this one was shot with each one alone, as not to be in the same room due to covid. and they still make it sound great. :)
Don wanted to do something special for the 50th anniversary of American Pie and he asked Home Free to do it with him and I for one am so glad this happened.
Tim foust has a range like you wouldn't believe. You need to react to his Stay/Will you still love me tomorrow song. Also this was done during the Pandemic so none of them was together at that time. That is why the Boxes or frames. Also The Group began as a Rock n Roll band until they were on the Talent show and the Producer said they needed a C&W group and convinced them to sing Country and western.
Loved watching you sway in unison! While Tim Foust was singing his verse, Chance (who sang the first verse) was taking over the bass. If you really want to hear his range, check out his solo DooWop songs. He has videos out for four of those songs on his solo channel - Come Go WIth Me, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay, In My Room, and Since I Don't Have You. Austin Brown and Adam Chance both have solo channels, too
So glad you have become Home Free Fans and since Christmas is coming up you should really check out their version of Do You Hear What I Hear. The song was completely arranged by Adam Rupp - the Beatboxer and it is spectacular. Love you ladies - keep up the great reactions.
Most people dont know that this song is abput the death of buddy holly, Ritchie valence and the big bopper all three who died in a plane crash together and it became known as "the day the music died"
This was definitely an awesome collaboration of Home Free and Don McLain! From what I understand Don reached out to HF wanting to make this video together for his song's 50th anniversary. Of course they were not going to turn down that opportunity lol Home Free has so many songs to choose from, you can't really go wrong with any one of them. My suggestion for another great HF song and video to react to is Listen to the Music, originally done by The Doobie Brothers. This one came out this year by HF and let me tell you, I never would have guessed that Home Free could get any better as they are already perfect but it's true and this video proves it! I also really hope that you check another one called Cover me up, Chance sings the lead in this one and does a beautiful job with it. Also the video is awesome with a special surprise at the end. I could go on and on they have so many fantastic songs but I will assume that you both will get there eventually and come to know a lot more about them! Thanks for the reaction!
You need to find their behind the scenes video for this song. They were in the studio with Don McLean before Covid where he said he wasn't sure what he was going to be able to sing as good as he used to, and the guys just looked at him and said sing what you want and we will fall in with that.
You will be so blown away if you listen to them with headphones. You're really cheating yourself an experience..............Headphones!!!! So many reactors come back and confess why they waited to get a good pair of headphones. I have a pair of skull candy crushers and Adams drum hits and Tim's bass rattles my chest.
I think you're ready for the Home Free cover of Boyz 2 Men
"End of the Road". Please put your seat belts on for this one.
The song is a dedication/remembrance/tribute to three musicians that died in a plane wreck on February 3, 1959 those killed were Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and J.P. Richardson (The Big Bopper). The day the music died.. Buddy Holly was just recently married (the widowed bride).. that's why the song "gets dark" as you mentioned..
Tim’s range: lol, you ain’t heard nothin’ yet! Amazement awaits.
Elvira with The Oak Ridge Boys is one that I enjoyed.
Your “He has range??!!” Had me chuckling 😄 ‘cause sweetie you ain’t heard nothing yet!
Edited for a breakdown of the group.
Official version:
Beatboxer: Adam Rupp
High tenor: Austin Brown
Lead tenor: Rob Lundquist
Baritone/bass: Adam Chance (goes by Chance to avoid confusion)
Bass: Tim Foust
However… all five of them can beatbox to some degree
All five can sing in tenor range
At least three can sing baritone
And at least two can sing bass
I was thinking the same thing. Wait ‘til they hear his falsetto.
MAYDAY
@@davidkrutsinger5414 Or his Wil You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay!!
maybe add SNOW GLOBE in that too ?
Just wait til you hear his actual range cause when you guys do it's gonna blow your mind. If you wanna see his actual range. Tim and Austin have they're own channels also separate from home free where they do separate solo projects. Tim just released a song recently cover of "since I don't have you" you guys gotta check it out then you'll see his real range and it'll 🤯
You can listen to Mayday. You've already witnessed Tim Foust"s incredible vocal range which is also featured in Mayday.
This rendition really gives all five guys and Don a chance to shine. Good choice. Thanks for this one.
Do You Hear What I Hear is tremendous.
Take care
Second that, Mayday will blow your mind!
Mayday is where they really show their talents.

Thank you! Such great information about them ☺️
I can't believe that I am only hearing them just recently. They are just so talented. 😍
You should check out their sea shanty. Which was inspired by a Scottish man Nathan Evans. Wheller man.
Brother's in Arms by Home Free.
"Go rest high on that mountain" with a patriotic video will bring tears to your eyes. God bless the USA with Homefree, Lee Greenwood, and the US Air Force Singing Sergeants. Both are well worth reacting to.

I'm telling you please do Helplessly Hoping by them. It's absolutely the best.
If you want to hear tim's range. You should check out his solo song will you still love me tomorrow/stay
Saw the surprise when Tim started singing. He sings more then bass.
you defiantly should do End of the road form boys to men !!!

I came across Home Free two years ago. I have been hooked since. They are the best a cappella group out there in my opinion.
Time for more Home Free recommendations:
Ain't Going Down Til The Sun Comes Up
Blue Ain't Your Color
Elvira (with The Oakridge Boys)
Go Rest High Upon That Mountain....(IF you want tears for days. Still an amazing song)
Amazing Grace
How Great Thou Art
Mary Did You Know
They did one with the late Kenny Rogers, but I don't remember the name.
And, if you want to have ANOTHER awesome creator/singer, check out Peter Hollens. He does some incredible collabs.
I'm very glad you are becoming New home fries and I saw you are doing a Christmas 🎄 video I hope you choose a couple Home Free Christmas video. Snow Globe, I hear what you hear.
Ladies, his name is Adam Chance. Now listen to "Some Girls do", and "Blue ain't your color". When Tim hits the higher notes, Chance picks up the baseline, and does it very well. Chance is from Alabama, Tim from Texas, Austin from Georgia, Adam Rupp and Rob Lundquist are from Minnesota.
Now it’s probably time for you lovely ladies to react to “Mayday”. You’ll be twice as blown away. Your reactions are great. Thanks for reacting to Home Free.
Listen to Ring of Fire by Home Free. Tim goes from falsetto to the lowest key on the piano (G1). Phenomenal range.
Adam Chance does the bass part while Tim sings lead.
Love this remake of this classic song. Can't believe it came out 50 years ago. Don McLean still has a good voice for his age. And love hearing all the guys take a turn in a verse. Poor Adam had to do such a long stretch of beatboxing but he nailed it. Think the song is about 8 min. long. Don McLean received his Hollywood Star on the Walk of Fame recently & Home Free was invited to sing a portion of this song there. What an honor for them.
"American Pie" pays tribute to the loss of 3 legends who died so young (Buddy Holly, Richie Valens & The Big Bopper). A lot of references in the song are made to many artists from the early days of music including Elvis, Janis Joplin, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Byrds & others.
It's also about the loss of innocence in American culture.
Try "End of the Road" to give yourself a genre shift. Or "Seven Bridges Road" for another genre. Or their recently released "Road Sweet Road" which is an original.
For Christmas, you should hear Pentatonix doing Mary Did You Know.
Fantastic reaction ladies Don Mclain had asked Home Free to do this for the 50th anniversary of his song and even had them perform at his star celebration on the walk of fame.
Home Free and Don McLean recorded this for the 50th Anniversary tribute to Don's "American Pie". This song is one of the great masterpieces of the rock era and Home Free really did justice to this iconic classic.
The fact that so many other performers want to sing with HF shows how amazing they are. But I think my favorite is Diana Ross who didn’t sing with them but asked them to perform at her 75th birthday. They had about four days notice but of course said yes. She had seen their video of Love Train.
Home Free clips do have a way of leaving one in a good mood.
For Christmas, Snow Globe is a must.
It’s an older video but you REALLY need to hear their Do You Hear What I Hear. Chance isn’t in it. When it was recorded the beat boxer’s brother was still with the group. The song is not only a treat for your ears but the setting is simply visually stunning. It’s the whole package as a Christmas song.
The different segments with all of their different voices is something you never knew this song needed until you heard it. A couple of their songs you should hit are "How Great Thou Art" and "Go Rest High On That Mountain". And when you want something on the lighter side listen to "The Butts Remix"
The man in the hat is called Chance 👍👍🙏🙏
If you like harmonies, check out their version of helplessly hoping.
They paid him huge respect by singing the original composition.
Love watching you discover Home Free.They are amazing.💖You should check out the Drum Solo video,it will blow.you away.😱Butts remix will have you rolling on the floor😂😂and the Guilty Pleasure s will.keep you there🤣😂🤣 .Keep.the reaction videos coming .You rock the 😁
Thank you Karlamarie! I would love to check out the drum solo video. I appreciate the recommendation. 😃
Do you hear what I hear is an awesome one for Christmas. It has Chris their founder in it. He is Adam (beatboxers) brother and Chance took his place when he left the group. Adam arranged this song and it was filmed at an Ice Castle in Minnesota where Adam, Chris and Rob(beard & glasses) are from. You will love it. Thanks,Ladies!
My other 3 fellas are from the south. Tim, bass from Texas, Chance, baritone from Alabama, Austin, high tenor from Georgia. Each and every one of these fellas are all extremely talented. Thank you !! 🎼🎄🎶☃️🎵♥️
Helplessly Hoping and Sea Shanty Medley are two that I enjoy listening to, and Chance has solo parts. Love HF! Thanks for reacting to their music.
One of the reasons i love Home Free so much, is that you always come away feeling good! Even their sad/emotional songs leave you feeling uplifted. They are just an amazing group of guys!
If I may make a suggestion, if you want to hear Tim's range, listen to their covers of "Brothers in Arms", then listen to "Mayday".
The first singer was Adam Chance, however, most people call him Chance because the beatboxer's name is Adam Rupp, so they call The beatboxer Adam and the baritone you referred to in the hat is Chance. Tim has a rare 5-octave range.
Check out a live version of them singing Dreamer where they are all introduced in the middle of the song.
Please add Home Free to your Christmas list....their Christmas songs are amazing. They have over 150 videos out.
This was done during Covid.
Adam Chance does have a great voice. You’d love his lead in Helplessly Hoping cover of Crosby, Stills and Nash.
Check out their cover of "Folsom Prison Blues"
This video was so excellent that it won a Telly Award. Do You Hear What I Hear for Christmas and Auld Lang Syne for New Years please.
The first Home Free singer Adam Chance is the guy who opened and closed Man of Constant Sorrow with his throat singing instrument sounds. He does a lot of instrument sounds and he sings bass when Tim sings lead. He generally sings baritone, but he can also sing tenor. Check out Can't Stop the Feeling where he joins in for an instrumental section.
This is an awesome collaboration between Don McLean and Home Free. Absolutely love your reactions!
If you want to hear more of Adam Chance (the first singer after McLean), I recommend Sea Chanty Medley (filmed during Covid), Winter Song, Castle on the Hill, and Brothers in Arms (in that you also get to hear Tim’s incredible low bass).
Don’t miss their incredible Christmas songs! Do You Hear What I Hear (arranged by beatboxer Adam Rupp - with his brother Chris, who Chance replaced in 2016), O’ Holy Night, Full of Cheer, Cold Hard Cash, and so many more. You also shouldn’t miss How Great Thou Art.
Home Free has so many great songs to choose from that you could keep busy for several weeks listening to them all. I love their versions of "Woman, Amen / Female" (a mashup); Meet in the Middle (a great country hit); In the Blood; "Thinking Out Loud / Let's Get It On" (another mashup), and Ed Sheeran's Castle On The Hill. These are all stylistically different and give you a sense of their range.
Home Free won the 4th season of the Sing-Off, the season after Pentatonix won. That is where I discovered them. Wonderful reaction ladies.
Just a gorgeous performance. Don McClean fits in well as the sixth member of Home Free.
Suggestions, ladies: For tenor, Rob Lindquist: HF's End of the Road cover. For Chance: Born in the USA. Austin: Crazy (since you have already heard When A Man Loves A Woman.) Tim Foust: Hillbilly Bone. And for something completely different--Sea Shanty Medley! Or Helplessly Hoping--pure harmony! For Christmas: Cold Hard Cash (a Home Free original). Also Unchained Melody & Working For A Living & Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget (Tim Foust original song). I don't know if anyone has told you yet---Austin Brown & Tim Foust have posted songs on their own youtube channels. Tim Foust has released a DooWop album--not to be missed! Talk about range! These talented guys have recorded enough songs to keep you busy for-uh-years.
Enjoy the eargasms!
check out ring of fire, sea shanty melody and mayday
I love how the daughter's jaw always hits the floor when Tim starts singing. Great reaction! Aren't they amazing? For Christmas, any of their holiday songs. Do you hear what I hear is their best! If you want to hear all 6 of the them, try O come o come Emanuel. Angels We have heard on High will again have your jaws on the floor. Of course, What Christmas Means to Me, Christmas Ain't for the Lonely and everyone's favorite Full of Cheer are always lovely! For New Years, you absolutely have to listen to Alde Lang Syne!!!!!
You are both lovely! Thank you for sharing!
I'm a fairly recent Home Fry myself so I'll recommend their video Working for a Living (an old Huey Lewis song) which shows their names as they sing so you can see and besides, it's a funny one. Yes, the guys make us smile and lift up our spirits and they talk about very important issues too. We all kinda have crushes on them and soon you'll recognize the voices with your eyes closed!
Love your reactions. You may have found a new favorite group. I have found a new favorite reaction channel
I just stumbled across your channel, y'all are great! Keep doing what you're doing! Another Home Fry Subscribed :)
In addition to the recommendations in the other comments, I really like their cover of Maren Morris's "My Church". And it's so fun to watch reactors getting blown away by Home Free. I still am getting blown away as well with each song that I hear for the 1st few times. I am pacing my way through their repetoire, in part to maintain that air of wonder. Great reaction, as if the other (& better) comments don't make that point well enough.
The guy "In the hat" is Adam Chance... They call him Chance because the beat boxers name is also Adam... He is Adam Rupp. The other guys are , Bass.. Tim Faust, Lead tenor.. Austin Brown and Second tenor.. Rob Lundquist. All of these guys including the beat boxer can sing! Please react to "Children go where I send thee" They sung this with the late great Kenny Rodgers and it is fantastic! There is a different "Guy in a hat" in that song though because the beat boxers brother "Chris Rupp" was still with the group then and Chance came in when Chris left. The "High pitch" stuff you were talking about is Austin doing his thing :-) The beat boxer also does high notes when needed.
These are five really talented guys. The guy in the hat is Adam Chance, usually called Chance. If you want more of him, 2 often overlooked songs are their cover of Ed Sheeran's "Castle on the Hill", and their cover of "Some girls do." Sorry can't remember the original artist.
Sawyer Brown !!
And I Can't Outrun You, and Cover me Up are both Chance 'solos'.
@miamidolphinsfan thanks Kevin, in my mind I kept trying to make Zac Brown band and Sawyer Brown into 1 group
Also, add their cover of Yours... Chance's lead is so beautiful!
I subscribed to your channel for one reason - to watch your journey with Home Free. They are arguably the best acapella group on the planet. It's amazing how much talent they have and believe me, you have just begun. I agree that you should wait until you are comfortable with your knowledge of the group before you react to "Mayday." I would recommend "The Driver," "Cover Me Up" (which features Chance as the lead), "Helplessly Hoping," or "Catch Me If You Can." For something that showcases their sense of humor, I would recommend "The Butts Medley," or "All About The Base."
So, you're Home Fries now? Listen to Home Free "Oh Holy Night". Or, Christmas in Dixie ft. Alabama LIVE
I love your reactions!! so glad you did this song. Adam Chance (aka Chance) has a solo channel and he covered Driver's License - you would love that cover with his voice. also, if you think Tim Foust sang high in this, you need to check out his channel and react to Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. that will blow you away!!! you need to do a comedic song try the Butts Medley you won't be disappointed thanks ladies!!
Also his collabs with the Hound & The Fox are amazing. They did a cover of Wayfairing Stranger that is AWESOME
@@miamidolphinsfan oh definintely. we will have to get the Hound & The Fox on their radar next 😂
Your man in the hat is called chance. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
yall need to check out home free's version of mayday.yall will freak out
Home free is becoming one of my favorites too. Thank you God-bless
To fall in love with them a little more try "Woman, Amen/Female" or to hear Adam Chance (hat guy) more try "Some Girls Do" that has his then girlfriend/now wife in the video. Any Home Free song you pick will be good.
Ok, NOW you are ready for Mayday
Great version of this song. Be sure to react to their version of "Mayday" where some of them switch roles. Wonderful cover of a great song by Cam,
I believe Tim is pushing over 5 octaves with his range now. Mayday he sings high tenor.
Chance, the guy in the hat, does the bass when Tim sings lead. He is also often paired with the tenors, Rob and Austin, on other songs. You can always tell when Chance or Tim sings bass. Chance was the bass in his prior group. His low voice allows Tim to sing more lead.
due to Covid several song like this one was shot with each one alone, as not to be in the same room due to covid. and they still make it sound great. :)
Don wanted to do something special for the 50th anniversary of American Pie and he asked Home Free to do it with him and I for one am so glad this happened.
Tim foust has a range like you wouldn't believe. You need to react to his Stay/Will you still love me tomorrow song. Also this was done during the Pandemic so none of them was together at that time. That is why the Boxes or frames. Also The Group began as a Rock n Roll band until they were on the Talent show and the Producer said they needed a C&W group and convinced them to sing Country and western.
Loved watching you sway in unison!
While Tim Foust was singing his verse, Chance (who sang the first verse) was taking over the bass. If you really want to hear his range, check out his solo DooWop songs. He has videos out for four of those songs on his solo channel - Come Go WIth Me, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay, In My Room, and Since I Don't Have You. Austin Brown and Adam Chance both have solo channels, too
I love this version better, too. Keep Home Free coming, I'll tag along.
to hear tims range you need to listen to tims will you still love me/stay
So glad you have become Home Free Fans and since Christmas is coming up you should really check out their version of Do You Hear What I Hear. The song was completely arranged by Adam Rupp - the Beatboxer and it is spectacular. Love you ladies - keep up the great reactions.
Most people dont know that this song is abput the death of buddy holly, Ritchie valence and the big bopper all three who died in a plane crash together and it became known as "the day the music died"
Check out Home Free's singing Cover Me Up and watch to the end, Adam Chance lead vocal or Down To The Honky Tonk
Yeah, Tim's range makes him very special.
This was definitely an awesome collaboration of Home Free and Don McLain! From what I understand Don reached out to HF wanting to make this video together for his song's 50th anniversary. Of course they were not going to turn down that opportunity lol Home Free has so many songs to choose from, you can't really go wrong with any one of them. My suggestion for another great HF song and video to react to is Listen to the Music, originally done by The Doobie Brothers. This one came out this year by HF and let me tell you, I never would have guessed that Home Free could get any better as they are already perfect but it's true and this video proves it! I also really hope that you check another one called Cover me up, Chance sings the lead in this one and does a beautiful job with it. Also the video is awesome with a special surprise at the end. I could go on and on they have so many fantastic songs but I will assume that you both will get there eventually and come to know a lot more about them! Thanks for the reaction!
You need to find their behind the scenes video for this song. They were in the studio with Don McLean before Covid where he said he wasn't sure what he was going to be able to sing as good as he used to, and the guys just looked at him and said sing what you want and we will fall in with that.
Great reaction, ladies.... Could you please react to Home Free singing Mayday by Cam...Thanks...
Their cover of dire straights “brothers in arms” is haunting yet beautul
Try Mayday you will really be surprised!
Homefree is my favorite group also !
I'm so happy me and my daughter are going to see Home Free in March I can't wait
Elvira w/ the Oak Ridge Boys is great
You will be so blown away if you listen to them with headphones. You're really cheating yourself an experience..............Headphones!!!!
So many reactors come back and confess why they waited to get a good pair of headphones. I have a pair of skull candy crushers and Adams drum hits and Tim's bass rattles my chest.
Great reaction! Yes Tim the bass has a 5 octave range. Check out Tim and Peter Hollens Misty Mountains. Both Austin and Tim have solo songs also.
