Adam Rupp from Mankato, Minnesota. Austin Brown from Tifton, Georgia. Rob Lundquist from Minneapolis, Minessota. Tim Foust from Texas.Adam Chance from Florida. Man of Constant Sorrow The song was recorded in 1970 by Ginger Baker's Air Force and sung by Air Force guitarist and vocalist (and former Moody Blues, future Wings member) Denny Laine ...
Home Free is the real deal. Adam Rupp is the beatboxer (they call him a freak of nature). He was doing the drums, harmonica and other sounds with his mouth. Chance, back left, was doing the mouth harp. Tim, the bass, has a 5 octave range so he can sing super low but also sing high too. (Not kidding!). Austin (redhead) is the high tenor and can yodel. Rob (glasses) is a tenor and has a beautiful voice. Rob is not from Kentucky…that was just the lyrics of the song. The song is over 100 years old and has many covers. The boys sing covers but also write and sing their own music. 😍
Thos is a very old song that was originally written in the early 1900s. It was used (and popularized) in the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" with George Clooney
Hi guys. You wondered about where the group is from. Adam Rupp (co-founder of the group, tenor, beat-boxer extraordinaire) is from Minnesota, as is Rob Lundquist (wearing overalls, main tenor and terrific whistler). The guy singing first in this video is Austin Brown (high tenor with an impressive vocal range) is from Georgia. Tim Foust is the bass singer (with a five octave range) is from southeast Texas. Adam Chance (baritone/bass, mouth harp, also called jaw harp) is from Alabama. All are talented almost beyond belief. Besides singing and producing other exquisite sounds, they write songs and do some of their own arrangements. Enjoy!
@@aMUSEingthoughts You'll notice one dude is different in their lineup: Chris Rupp, tenor & cofounder (brother to Adam Rupp, the beatboxer) left the group amicably to pursue other things about a year or two after they won. He was replaced by Adam Chance, baritone w/ deep bass range (bearded dude w/o glasses in this video), a buddy of theirs who was the bass of another group from the Sing Off. Chris has collaborated with some of the guys on a few things since then; everyone's still the best of friends, no bad blood. Chance has a deep enough bass range that he actually sings Avi Kaplan's part, trading off with Tim, when the guys perform "Ring of Fire" at their live shows.
Home Free is the best of the best!! Get to see them live nxt month! Best A capella group out there!! Don't listen to anybody else! They are touring in Europe now. Tim, Austin, Rob, Chance and beatboxer Adam!!!
Best a cappella group out there. With the best vocal percussionist, Adam Rupp. He can basically do anything you need. Every kind of drum, cymbals, wind, birds, insects, ocean waves, harmonica, jet planes, freakin' castanets. Can't get enough of him. Try their cover of the Doobie Brothers' Listen to the Music for a showcase of his talent.
Home Free is incredible. Everything they do is great. And although they are a Country A-cappela group, they can really sing all genres. There is no permanent lead singer. They really all have great voices with their own specialties. Even Adam Rupp who started the group with his brother Chris Rupp. Chris left the group in 2016 to go solo but also to start other projects with his sister, among others. Adam Rupp-Beatboxer but is actually an inhuman freaking good mouth artist. Tim Foust- Deep bass but also as a tenor and everything in between is possible. Austin Brown-High tenor with his great runs and high notes. Rob Lundquist (beard and glasses)-Tenor, with a voice like velvet and so much soul. Adam Chance (back left, who is called Chance) - Baritone/ Bass, a voice so smooth and sexy. And who here also makes the Jaw harp sound. They look at every song whose voice suits it best. This is the best harmony, no egos, no rivalries, great personalities etc. Besides, they can all beatbox (see their live performance 9to5). .. This is one of the many covers they do in addition to various originals, and each one is just amazing. They just posted a video of their live performance of The Sea Shanty Medley on YT. Worth watching and listening
I saw them in Sept. 2022 in Spokane, WA. They are simply amazing! They do use stomps, claps, and loops to attain their sounds but they are all without instruments. When they do a song that includes an instrument, they will show you. We had so much fun! Glad you liked them!
Lol, I’ve said that very thing in comments. People don’t know how deafening we devoted fans can be. A couple of times I refrained from applause just to feel the energy. 😄
Austin high tenor from Georgia joined in 2013, Rob beard and glasses tenor from Minnesota joined 2008, Tim bass from Texas joined in 2012, Adam Rupp beatboxer/tenor the founding member in 2000 with his brother Chris who left in 2016 for a solo career from Minnesota. When Chris left they added Adam Chance beard (they call him Chance) baritone/bass from Florida/Alabama joined in 2016. There have been many changes thru the years but I think this is the best fit.
Everything you hear, voice, instruments, beat boxing, etc. is all by the human voice. Even the harmonica. They blow me away. A lot of good songs mentioned here by others already. Everything they've sung is out of this world good! This song is from a movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" They do have some originals though.
The beat boxer Adam and bigger bearded guy with glasses, Rob, are both from my home state of Minnesota. They have always done ALL GENRES, just went "country" to get on the show "The Sing Off." Home Free was started in Minnesota in about 2001 by 3 Minnesota guys, one of whom was a brother to the beat boxer, Adam Rupp. Adam is the only one left from the original group.
I know you’ve listened to the group before but been awhile hope this helps answer your questions.This song is very old but best known from the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou . The group started in 2001 by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp They are the only country A Capella ( all vocals no instruments)group but they can honestly sing any genre and they do They won The Sing Off season 4 2013 that's where they became very popular. Fans of Home Free are known as Home Fries and are very loyal to the guys.

They are just funny, down to earth, humble nice guys.They are the best A Cappella group there is Sorry for the long read 🍟😊
These guys are the best acapella group out there. They not only blow you away with their octave ranges, their beatboxing, and lack of egos, they are not afraid to play. They have a warm, wonderful sense of humor and have made many comical videos. Check out Champagne on a Beer Budget, Hillbilly Bone and What Christmas Means To Me. Many others out there, done in many genres.
I have seen all 5 of them beat box during a live performance, Adam Rupp is phenomenal but the other guys are pretty good too. And they can help add layers and colors to a song.
These incredibly talented men are Adam Rupp-Beatbox, Chance- Baritone/Bass, Tim Foust -Bass with 5 octave range, Austin Brown- Tenor, Rob Lundquist- Tenor. Adam Rupp is the founding member and along with Rob Lundquist live in Minnesota, Chance lives in LA, Tim & Austin live in Nashville. This group it versatile everyone can do more than just their listed range and there is no "lead singer " whoever is right for the song sings it. No egos here! They are known as a vocal country band but can and do sing all other genre.
If you listen to this again, listen to Tim’s verse. When the others come back in, Tim drops another octave. Yes, he can go that low! He has gone so low that he’s broken several speakers.
And ALWAYS LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES!!!!! Even the best speakers struggle to render Tim's bass at times, (if they can at all), & you'll hear a LOT more complexity in Adam's beatboxing, not to mention some incredible nuance to some of their harmonies, like on "Helplessly Hoping."
This was the first song I ever heard from Home Free & I was instantly hooked. It really showcases the talent of these 5 men (their tight harmonies & Tim Foust's bass & Adam Rupp's incredible beatboxing). They are my favorite a cappella group. This song is very old & is done in the bluegrass country style. It was used in the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" starring George Clooney.
I'll let others tell you about the individuals in this fabulous group (and this is a cover). They started as predominately country but cover pretty much all genres. "Try Everything," "Mary did you Know," "Brothers in Arms" and "Butts Remix" will give you a nice starting sample. Thanks, guys!
Just a bit correction: they started singing all genres and "became" country due to a suggestion from a producer of the tv show The Sing Off. It's good to know this because it's kinda funny that Tim and Rob (you'll learn their names eventually) didn't want to sing in a country band (even though Tim is a Texan and had already recorded a solo country album) because they knew it would become a life commitment after the show. Anyway, they make all genres sound better with their amazing talent.
Alright gentlemen get ready to get your ears blown off check out their cover of boys to men end of the road you will be highly impressed watch out there is a big rabbit hole with this group and their talent
I have met them before a live concert and they are truly humble and amazing at their crafts! Tim foust, the bass will vibrate your soul!! Seen them in four concerts in four different states!! Welcome to the rabbit hole of homefries!!
Here's a cheat sheet on the group: Adam Rupp, co-founder of HF and the awesome beatboxer. Tim Foust, bass. He has a five-octave range. Rob Lundquist (glasses and beard) Tenor Harmony. Austin Brown, Lead Tenor. Adam Chance, Baritone ( goes by Chance). Chance replaced Chris Rupp (co-founder) who left in 2016.
@@aMUSEingthoughts He has a solo album of Doo Wop songs that he harmonizes with himself. Check out Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. But listen to some more of his speaker breaking lows first.
The beatboxer and his brother Chris (who left to pursue other projects in 2016) started the band in 2001. Tim Foust (bass) is from southeast Texas; Austin Brown (lead on this) is from south Georgia; The man in the black waistcoat (Adam Chance) is from Alabama. The beatboxer & the man with glasses (Rob Lundquist) are both from Minnesota.
The song was first recorded around 1915, and at that time was called “The Goodbye Song or The Farewell Song “. It tells the story of a slave, bidding farewell to all he knows and loves, before running for freedom. There is one reference to riding that northern railroad that shows the meaning of the song. (Not actually a railroad, but an underground group that helped slaves reach free areas.)
Thanks for putting the lyrics into historical context; I'd often wondered about this song. And I love Home Free's rendition of it. If I recall correctly, Joan Baez recorded this as "Maid of Constant Sorrow" in the 1960s.
Rob Lundquist with the glasses is the 2nd tenor. He is from Minnesota. Adam Rupp, the world class beatboxer is also from Minn. He is the founder of the band along with his brother who left the band to do his own work. The main tenor and high tenor is Austin Brown. He is from Georgia. He has an amazing voice. Check him out in Unchained Melody both Solo and with the band. and also in When a Man Loves a Woman with the band. Adam Chance or just Chance because it is easier with two Adams, is the baritone and sometimes bass when Tim Foust, the deep bass, is singing. Tim is from Texas. Tim has a 5 octave range. He can also sing high tenor. Check out his solo recording of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay to see his amazing range. And check out Ring of Fire!
Caution; Home Free is highly addictive. 3 of them are songwriters so there are lots of originals as well as covers. They sing everything from gospel to goofy. They also tour extensively so there are lots of live videos too. They each have channel(s) of their own - you can't run out of content! This song was originally published in 1913 and later covered by Bob Dylan & Joan Baez among others.
ROB IS NOT FROM KENTUCKY, THAT WAS JUST PART OF THE LYRICS. ROB AND THE BEATBOXER IS FROM MINNESOTA. TIM IS FROM TEXAS NOW IN TENNESSEE. AUSTIN IS FROM GEORGIA NOW IN TENNESSEE, IN FACT IN SOME OF AUSTINS SOLO VIDEOS YOU WILL SEE HIS HOUSE. ADAM CHANCE THE BARITONE/BASS IS FROM ALABAMA, NOW IN LOS ANGELES AREA.
Austin is from Georgia, Rob is from Minnesota, so is Adam, Chance is from Louisiana and Tim the bass is from Texas. Austin and Rob are the tuners, Adam aka freak of nature is the beatboxer, Chance is the baritone and bass.
Tim Foust=Bass Rob Lunquist=Tenor Adam Chance=Baritone Austin Brown=High Tenor Adam Rupp=Beatboxer (best ever!!)😊 Love this song! Have you reacted to End Of The Road? If not you need to! A lot of us Home Fries will follow you :) Great reaction 🎉 I love Home Free😊
Kentucky is just part of the lyrics of the song, Rob, the man with glasses, and Adam, the beatboxer are from Minnesota. The rest were born and raised in Georgia, Texas, and Alabama, but now live in Nashville and Los Angeles.
LOLOL….I had to laugh…Tim Foust…the Awesome bass….talks bass, Too 🙃‼️🔥…&, he has a 5+ Octave Range….one Amazing dude…&, a natural comedian 😋🙃🔥💗‼️…. A total Riot ❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥😋😜. Their concerts are sooooo Fun 💗🙃🔥🙃💗❤️🔥🎶🎵🎶
guy with the beard/glasses is from Minnesota; beatboxer is from Minnesota. Austin (lead singer here) is from Georgia; amazing bass is from Texas; guy wearing hat but not Austin is Chance, from Alabama. nobody else i've found holds a candle to them.
Great reaction guys. Adam Rupp is the beatboxer who formed Home Free with his brother Chris Rupp the next to join permanently was Rob Lundquist as a tenor then Tim Foust joined as a bass next came Austin Brown as high tenor when Chris decided to leave Adam Chance replaced him.
If you really wanna lose your minds over Tim's bass range, one of the first ones to listen to is their cover of "Ring of Fire," featuring Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix. Double basses! Avi & Tim trade back & forth, one singing the verse while the other sings a deeeeep bass line, then switching. Adam's beatboxing is stellar, too. MUST. LISTEN. WITH. HEADPHONES. And if they have bass assist, turn it on! It makes all the difference with the a capella groups!!!!
One thing I always recommend to new listeners is to watch Peter Hollins and the bass here Tim Foust do their cover of Misty Mountains from the Hobbit movie. Peter does some good colabs with the rest of the group also. These guys along with Voice Play one of their competitors on the Sing Off are among my favorite groups acapella OR the instrumentally backed ones. Pentatonix is another one from the Sing Off but I like these two better for some reason- not to say Pentatonix isn't good they are very good!
VoicePlay is awesome as well. The bass singer Geoff (Jeff) Castellucci has a very similar vocal range as Tim. He would probably say Tim is better. They are great friends. Geoff did some arranging on "Elvira" for Home Free and Oak Ridge Boys and Layne Stein (Voiceplay's beat boxer) helped Adam Rupp with arrangement on Butts Remix. VoicePLay does classic rock, Disney, musicals, movie, video game songs. This year has been their best creativewise IMO.
Actually they didn't really have an issue with their record company other than people were getting copyright strikes from doing reaction videos. But that's what all record companies do. Austin said that they tried to work something out regarding that, but they couldn't do it. You can't blame the record company for that. That's just how it is. He also said that the record company stayed out of their way and basically let them do whatever they wanted. They had complete creative control over their music. He also said something about they probably didn't know what to do with them anyway because they were a cappella. Austin said one of the main reasons they went independent was so people could do reaction videos and not get copyright strikes on their videos. So anything from their Dive Bar Saints album and after you will not get a copyright strike on. This song is from O' Brother Where Art Thou. If you haven't seen it, you much. One of the best movies ever. I suggest their cover of "End of the Road", if you haven't done it yet.
Actually, the “from Kentucky” is part of the song. He’s actually from Minnesota, along with the beat boxer. Austin is from Georgia, Chance is from Alabama, but was born in Florida. Last but not least (there IS no least with this group) Tim is from Texas.
"winning" a recording contract from a company that then doesn't do anything for them, having to buy their way out of the contract, and going independent is something Home Free and Pentatonix have in common. I think record companies might not have a "real" category for them and can't figure out what to do, or could even be treating a capella artists as a "buy and bury" category so they don't have to deal with competition for their "mainstream" artists.
You mean a singing group won a singing competition where they got a record deal, only the record deal turned out to be a horrible one? That's just crazy, except that it pretty much defines every winner of every singing competition ever. Pentatonix ran into the same situation when they won the first season. And after it happened with Home Free, I think a lot of the fans started to turn on the show.
First off not a original, the songs at least a hundred years old. The beat boxer is Adam Rupp, the bass is Tim foust, the high tenor is Austen brown, the tenor (in overalls) is rob lundquist, the baritone is Adam chance or just Chance. The group originated in Minnesota but now only rob and Rupp are from Minnesota.
Tim Foust (bass to tenor) is from Texas. Adam Rupp (percussion and tenor) and Rob Lundquist (tenor) are from Minnesota. Adam Chance (baritone and base) is from Alabama. Austin Brown (high tenor) is from Georgia. This not an original.
Sorry guys, but I actually cringe when anyone says that they are like pentatonix. No, no, no….nope. (This is my personal opinion) These guys collectively and individually absolutely the best out there. They run the gamut of the genres of music that they do….country, R&B, soul, gospel, do wop, even some opera. They are the only acapella group that I listen to.
@sobeastgaming Thank you for reading my reply. No ill feelings intended, but have tried to follow "Home Free" closely after my initial viewing of 'man of constant sorrow' a few years back. Pentatonix is a great a capella group! That's group, but Home Free is a great group AND, can individually show their superior talents in various solo performances and the others support them so flawlessly! Austin, Rob, Tim, Adam Rupp & Adam Chance and Chris Rupp-last two members over course of time have shown great talent, respectively. Over 2 decades and still going strong shows they are a group that adjusts with time and have the ability to find the "EXACT, CORRECT PRODUCTION CHOICES" to promote each song independently along with their multiple talents!! Am trying to pay homage to HOME FREE and my perceptions of this band!! Please keep reacting to songs, cause your reaction comments actually made me pay attention and 'feel some kind of way' ok?
Lead singer is Austin from Georgia, Adam is the beatboxer, Rob is the 1 with glasses, there's Tim the bass from Lubbock and the other Adam who sings lead occasionally. Check out When a Man Loves a Woman.
Austin is from Georgia, Tim from Texas, Adam (and his brother Chris) is(are) from Minnesota, Chance is from Alabama, and Rob is from Minnesota as well. Austin is high tenor, Tim is Bass and sometimes Tenor, Adam is the world class Beatboxer, (Adam) Chance is their barritone/backup bass, and Rob is second Tenor.

Adam Rupp-Beatboxer but is actually an inhuman freaking good mouth artist.
Tim Foust- Deep bass but also as a tenor and everything in between is possible.
Austin Brown-High tenor with his great runs and high notes.
Rob Lundquist (beard and glasses)-Tenor, with a voice like velvet and so much soul.
Adam Chance (back left, who is called Chance) - Baritone/ Bass, a voice so smooth and sexy. And who here also makes the Jaw harp sound.

And ALWAYS LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES!!!!! Even the best speakers struggle to render Tim's bass at times, (if they can at all), & you'll hear a LOT more complexity in Adam's beatboxing, not to mention some incredible nuance to some of their harmonies, like on "Helplessly Hoping."
This was the first song I ever heard from Home Free & I was instantly hooked. It really showcases the talent of these 5 men (their tight harmonies & Tim Foust's bass & Adam Rupp's incredible beatboxing). They are my favorite a cappella group. This song is very old & is done in the bluegrass country style. It was used in the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" starring George Clooney.
That's legit 🔥🔥
Skull and Bones, written by Chance, is great. It's a song for a new video game by Ubisoft which is due out this fall. Definitely something different.
👀👀
It is FABULOUS ❤❤❤
Yes, listen to the live version.
@@Indigo_moon Their sea shanty medley, back when sea shanties were going viral during quarantine, is in much the same vein & also fantastic!
I'll let others tell you about the individuals in this fabulous group (and this is a cover). They started as predominately country but cover pretty much all genres. "Try Everything," "Mary did you Know," "Brothers in Arms" and "Butts Remix" will give you a nice starting sample. Thanks, guys!
Thank you so much for putting us on game with this unique group!!
Just a bit correction: they started singing all genres and "became" country due to a suggestion from a producer of the tv show The Sing Off. It's good to know this because it's kinda funny that Tim and Rob (you'll learn their names eventually) didn't want to sing in a country band (even though Tim is a Texan and had already recorded a solo country album) because they knew it would become a life commitment after the show. Anyway, they make all genres sound better with their amazing talent.
Alright gentlemen get ready to get your ears blown off check out their cover of boys to men end of the road you will be highly impressed watch out there is a big rabbit hole with this group and their talent
Lets goooo
I have met them before a live concert and they are truly humble and amazing at their crafts! Tim foust, the bass will vibrate your soul!! Seen them in four concerts in four different states!! Welcome to the rabbit hole of homefries!!
Love Home Free, Great Reaction ❤
Thank you for tuning in!
Also check out Adam Rupp's drum solo, various versions. This song is a cover from a George Clooney movie by The Soggy Bottom Boys.
👀
The song in the movie is a cover - it wasn’t an original.
Acapella group, No Instruments 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Here's a cheat sheet on the group: Adam Rupp, co-founder of HF and the awesome beatboxer. Tim Foust, bass. He has a five-octave range. Rob Lundquist (glasses and beard) Tenor Harmony. Austin Brown, Lead Tenor. Adam Chance, Baritone ( goes by Chance). Chance replaced Chris Rupp (co-founder) who left in 2016.
Wait a min, Tim has a FIVE-OCTAVE RANGE? 👀
@@aMUSEingthoughts Yup!
@@sueby1962that's insane talent!
@@aMUSEingthoughts He has a solo album of Doo Wop songs that he harmonizes with himself. Check out Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. But listen to some more of his speaker breaking lows first.
❤Home Free
❤️💯
The beatboxer and his brother Chris (who left to pursue other projects in 2016) started the band in 2001. Tim Foust (bass) is from southeast Texas; Austin Brown (lead on this) is from south Georgia; The man in the black waistcoat (Adam Chance) is from Alabama. The beatboxer & the man with glasses (Rob Lundquist) are both from Minnesota.
This is so very awesome! Home Free are the best! Love your reactions!
Thank you so much for tuning in!!
The song was written in 1915 and made famous in the movie Oh Brother Where Are Thought. 😊
These men are so talented!! Love this cover. 🇬🇧
Much love and thank you for tuning in ❤
The song was first recorded around 1915, and at that time was called “The Goodbye Song or The Farewell Song “. It tells the story of a slave, bidding farewell to all he knows and loves, before running for freedom. There is one reference to riding that northern railroad that shows the meaning of the song. (Not actually a railroad, but an underground group that helped slaves reach free areas.)
💯💯
Thanks for putting the lyrics into historical context; I'd often wondered about this song. And I love Home Free's rendition of it. If I recall correctly, Joan Baez recorded this as "Maid of Constant Sorrow" in the 1960s.
Rob Lundquist with the glasses is the 2nd tenor. He is from Minnesota. Adam Rupp, the world class beatboxer is also from Minn. He is the founder of the band along with his brother who left the band to do his own work. The main tenor and high tenor is Austin Brown. He is from Georgia. He has an amazing voice. Check him out in Unchained Melody both Solo and with the band. and also in When a Man Loves a Woman with the band. Adam Chance or just Chance because it is easier with two Adams, is the baritone and sometimes bass when Tim Foust, the deep bass, is singing. Tim is from Texas. Tim has a 5 octave range. He can also sing high tenor. Check out his solo recording of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay to see his amazing range.
And check out Ring of Fire!
Check out their cover of when a man loves a woman
Caution; Home Free is highly addictive. 3 of them are songwriters so there are lots of originals as well as covers. They sing everything from gospel to goofy. They also tour extensively so there are lots of live videos too. They each have channel(s) of their own - you can't run out of content! This song was originally published in 1913 and later covered by Bob Dylan & Joan Baez among others.
ROB IS NOT FROM KENTUCKY, THAT WAS JUST PART OF THE LYRICS. ROB AND THE BEATBOXER IS FROM MINNESOTA. TIM IS FROM TEXAS NOW IN TENNESSEE. AUSTIN IS FROM GEORGIA NOW IN TENNESSEE, IN FACT IN SOME OF AUSTINS SOLO VIDEOS YOU WILL SEE HIS HOUSE. ADAM CHANCE THE BARITONE/BASS IS FROM ALABAMA, NOW IN LOS ANGELES AREA.
So fantastic as always!
Thank you family!!
❤❤
Love Pentatonix but Home Free is number ONE in my opinion! So versatile in every genre & stay true to the originals
Austin is from Georgia, Rob is from Minnesota, so is Adam, Chance is from Louisiana and Tim the bass is from Texas. Austin and Rob are the tuners, Adam aka freak of nature is the beatboxer, Chance is the baritone and bass.
Yes, I said the wrong state. Please forgive me. I knew he was from Alabama.
So fantastic!👏
Thank you!!
Subscribed for home free! Loved your reaction ❤

Love this song! Have you reacted to End Of The Road? If not you need to! A lot of us Home Fries will follow you :) Great reaction 🎉 I love Home Free😊
Kentucky is just part of the lyrics of the song, Rob, the man with glasses, and Adam, the beatboxer are from Minnesota. The rest were born and raised in Georgia, Texas, and Alabama, but now live in Nashville and Los Angeles.
🤠🔥HOMEFREE🔥🤠
🔥🔥🔥🔥
The one with the glasses is from Minnesota
💯💯
LOLOL….I had to laugh…Tim Foust…the Awesome bass….talks bass, Too 🙃‼️🔥…&, he has a 5+ Octave Range….one Amazing dude…&, a natural comedian 😋🙃🔥💗‼️…. A total Riot ❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥😋😜. Their concerts are sooooo Fun 💗🙃🔥🙃💗❤️🔥🎶🎵🎶
You need to listen to Home Free doing End of the Road. You'll hear more of Rob (the guy with the beard and overalls).
guy with the beard/glasses is from Minnesota; beatboxer is from Minnesota. Austin (lead singer here) is from Georgia; amazing bass is from Texas; guy wearing hat but not Austin is Chance, from Alabama.
nobody else i've found holds a candle to them.
Being from Kentucky was a song lyric. Rob is from Minnesota.
Great reaction guys. Adam Rupp is the beatboxer who formed Home Free with his brother Chris Rupp the next to join permanently was Rob Lundquist as a tenor then Tim Foust joined as a bass next came Austin Brown as high tenor when Chris decided to leave Adam Chance replaced him.
💯💯
If you really wanna lose your minds over Tim's bass range, one of the first ones to listen to is their cover of "Ring of Fire," featuring Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix. Double basses! Avi & Tim trade back & forth, one singing the verse while the other sings a deeeeep bass line, then switching. Adam's beatboxing is stellar, too. MUST. LISTEN. WITH. HEADPHONES. And if they have bass assist, turn it on! It makes all the difference with the a capella groups!!!!
One thing I always recommend to new listeners is to watch Peter Hollins and the bass here Tim Foust do their cover of Misty Mountains from the Hobbit movie. Peter does some good colabs with the rest of the group also. These guys along with Voice Play one of their competitors on the Sing Off are among my favorite groups acapella OR the instrumentally backed ones. Pentatonix is another one from the Sing Off but I like these two better for some reason- not to say Pentatonix isn't good they are very good!
VoicePlay is awesome as well. The bass singer Geoff (Jeff) Castellucci has a very similar vocal range as Tim. He would probably say Tim is better. They are great friends. Geoff did some arranging on "Elvira" for Home Free and Oak Ridge Boys and Layne Stein (Voiceplay's beat boxer) helped Adam Rupp with arrangement on Butts Remix. VoicePLay does classic rock, Disney, musicals, movie, video game songs. This year has been their best creativewise IMO.
Misty Mountains, that's a great one.
Try end of the road by boyz to men. I promise you will love it 😍 it’s gonna blow your mind. HOMEFREE does a great job on this cover. 😊
Actually they didn't really have an issue with their record company other than people were getting copyright strikes from doing reaction videos. But that's what all record companies do. Austin said that they tried to work something out regarding that, but they couldn't do it. You can't blame the record company for that. That's just how it is. He also said that the record company stayed out of their way and basically let them do whatever they wanted. They had complete creative control over their music. He also said something about they probably didn't know what to do with them anyway because they were a cappella. Austin said one of the main reasons they went independent was so people could do reaction videos and not get copyright strikes on their videos. So anything from their Dive Bar Saints album and after you will not get a copyright strike on. This song is from O' Brother Where Art Thou. If you haven't seen it, you much. One of the best movies ever. I suggest their cover of "End of the Road", if you haven't done it yet.
Check out this interview - th-cam.com/video/GnAY00RdAmo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iDDfTG5ZRbtLQ2eb
You should listen to their cover of Boyz to men End of the Road
Check out our recent video!
Actually, the “from Kentucky” is part of the song. He’s actually from Minnesota, along with the beat boxer. Austin is from Georgia, Chance is from Alabama, but was born in Florida. Last but not least (there IS no least with this group) Tim is from Texas.
Adam Rupp is the beat boxer, at last count he is a 3 time World Beat Boxing champion
🤘🤠🤘
😁😁💯
"winning" a recording contract from a company that then doesn't do anything for them, having to buy their way out of the contract, and going independent is something Home Free and Pentatonix have in common. I think record companies might not have a "real" category for them and can't figure out what to do, or could even be treating a capella artists as a "buy and bury" category so they don't have to deal with competition for their "mainstream" artists.
Definitely sad, but glad they’re able to keep growing even bigger independently
Why they all have to kill it like that? 🔥
💯💯
You mean a singing group won a singing competition where they got a record deal, only the record deal turned out to be a horrible one? That's just crazy, except that it pretty much defines every winner of every singing competition ever. Pentatonix ran into the same situation when they won the first season. And after it happened with Home Free, I think a lot of the fans started to turn on the show.
I believe they are from Minnesota.
Man of Constant Sorrow. Soggy Bottom Boys. It's a bluegrass song.
Watch , working for a living. And you will know their names
Not a harmonica.. it's Adam Rupp.. just doing his thing. this is all accapella
First off not a original, the songs at least a hundred years old. The beat boxer is Adam Rupp, the bass is Tim foust, the high tenor is Austen brown, the tenor (in overalls) is rob lundquist, the baritone is Adam chance or just Chance. The group originated in Minnesota but now only rob and Rupp are from Minnesota.
Thank you so much for breaking down the history of the songs and the singers man! This helps me respect them even more 💯🙏🏽
Tim Foust (bass to tenor) is from Texas. Adam Rupp (percussion and tenor) and Rob Lundquist (tenor) are from Minnesota. Adam Chance (baritone and base) is from Alabama. Austin Brown (high tenor) is from Georgia. This not an original.
Sorry guys, but I actually cringe when anyone says that they are like pentatonix. No, no, no….nope. (This is my personal opinion) These guys collectively and individually absolutely the best out there. They run the gamut of the genres of music that they do….country, R&B, soul, gospel, do wop, even some opera. They are the only acapella group that I listen to.
Much respect to this comment right here! 💯
I feel the same way. Home Free is in a league by themselves. Not a fan of the other groups.
I agree!
You guys would get so many views/followers and become fans yourself if you reacted to Tom MacDonald!
We actually have a video on the way with him featured on a track!!
Comment troll
Please pay attention, or move on. "Llike Pentatonix"??? Huge talent! Redpect!
Both groups are a capella! But as mentioned in this video, Home Free is making their own path and doing big moves. Thanks for watching! - Xygah
@sobeastgaming Thank you for reading my reply. No ill feelings intended, but have tried to follow "Home Free" closely after my initial viewing of 'man of constant sorrow' a few years back. Pentatonix is a great a capella group! That's group, but Home Free is a great group AND, can individually show their superior talents in various solo performances and the others support them so flawlessly! Austin, Rob, Tim, Adam Rupp & Adam Chance and Chris Rupp-last two members over course of time have shown great talent, respectively. Over 2 decades and still going strong shows they are a group that adjusts with time and have the ability to find the "EXACT, CORRECT PRODUCTION CHOICES" to promote each song independently along with their multiple talents!! Am trying to pay homage to HOME FREE and my perceptions of this band!! Please keep reacting to songs, cause your reaction comments actually made me pay attention and 'feel some kind of way' ok?
Don't play this for your women...
Trust me.😂
😂😂😂😂
Lead singer is Austin from Georgia, Adam is the beatboxer, Rob is the 1 with glasses, there's Tim the bass from Lubbock and the other Adam who sings lead occasionally. Check out When a Man Loves a Woman.
💯💯
Y’all done a real good job on the HOMEFREE. Joint. Thank you both for the positive support.
They also did Boys 2 Men End of the Road.
On the way!
Austin is from Georgia, Tim from Texas, Adam (and his brother Chris) is(are) from Minnesota, Chance is from Alabama, and Rob is from Minnesota as well. Austin is high tenor, Tim is Bass and sometimes Tenor, Adam is the world class Beatboxer, (Adam) Chance is their barritone/backup bass, and Rob is second Tenor.
