THE GROUP WAS ACTUALLY FOUNDED BY ADAM RUPP AND CHRIS RUPP, WHO ARE BROTHERS. THEY ARE FROM MINNESOTA. THEY BROUGHT ON TIM FAUST, FROM SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS(AND IS VERY PROUD OF THIS) AND ROBB LUNDQUIST, AND THEN AUSTIN BROWN WHO IS FROM GEORGIA. THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL GROUP THIS IS THE GROUP THAT WON THE SHOW "THE SING OFF". THEY ACTUALLY HAVE SOME WONDERFUL SONGS FROM THIESE YEARS. DURING YHIS TIME THERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITES: CHRIS RUPP AND TIM FAUST DO A BREATHTAKING COVER OF "ANGELS AMONG US" BY THE GROUP ALABAMA. AND THE GROUP DOES A LOVELY COVER OF "MY OLD MAN", JUST TO NAME A COUPLE. THEY ACTUALLY HAVE HUNDREDS. LATER, CHRIS RUPP LEFT TO GO OUT ON HIS OWN. LATER HE WAS REPLACED BY ADAM CHANCE FROM ALABAMA( AROUND 4 OR 5 YEARS AGO.). THEY DID A COVER OF JOHN DENVERS " COUNTRY ROADS TAKE ME HOME" THAT IN MY OPINION WAS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. TI FAUST, THE BASS ACTUALLY HAS A 5 OCTAVE RANGE. THEY ARE ALL VERY VERSATILE. YOU SHOULD DIVE IN, GO DOWN THE RABBITS HOLE, AND YOU WOULD BE AMAZED AT THE TALENT OF THIS GROUP. IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD TIM FAUST DO "MISTY MOUNTAINS" WITH PETER HOLLENS , AND THEN HERE HIM SING TENOR IN "MAYDAY" , YOU CANNOT IMAGINE THE RANGE THAT TIM FAUST HAS. I AM A HUGE FAN, AS YOU CAN TELL. JUST SAYIN, HA!
Just so you know, Tim Foust, superior bass guy, has a 5 octave range and can go from the lowest bass notes I’ve ever heard to a high tenor. These guys are all beyond talented!
Tim Foust (bass) is from southeast Texas; Adam Chance (baritone/bass) is from Alabama; Austin Brown (high tenor - curly hair) is from south Georgia; Rob Lundquist (lead tenor, beard & glasses) and Adam Rupp (beatboxer) are both from Minnesota. Austin and Tim are both also song writers and both can play piano. Adam Rupp learned jazz drumming to increase his accuracy - he and his brother (original band member Chris Rupp) started the band.
Tim Foust (primary bass) can sing five octaves (bass to first tenor). He is powerful. If you are ever able to attend a concert, you can "feel" the base in your chest.
For some background info on each member: Austin Brown recently did a podcast for Vibe Talk Music titled Taking a Stand By Living Consciously. - open.spotify.com/episode/1OZRMmgxBqHiJ5k3JK1Klc?si=JcIRm6GrTUi2-TxMOMhxPg Tim Foust just did a podcast on Rock the Reset about how he got started in music- open.spotify.com/episode/1OZRMmgxBqHiJ5k3JK1Klc?si=JcIRm6GrTUi2-TxMOMhxPg Rob Lundquist has a written interview about himself- www.countrythangdaily.com/get-to-know-home-free-rob-lundquist/ Adam Rupp has a written interview in Modern Drummer - www.moderndrummer.com/2019/11/vocal-percussionist-adam-rupp-of-home-free/ Adam Chance has regular live chats on the Home Free facebook page but I haven't found any meaningful interviews with him. But, here's a fun interview, (it's a parody of Between Two Ferns by Zack Galifianakis) called Between Two Tims - th-cam.com/video/53x1u11ZJeQ/w-d-xo.html
Home Free was formed by Adam and Chris Rupp (both music majors) in college in 2000. Chris left in 2016 to go solo. Rob (music in college/bartender by trade)joined 2008, Tim (pre med in college) joined 2010. Home Free went on cruise ship as guest entertainers and met Austin who was a part of the ship's singing group. Austin a music theatre major in college joined Home Free in 2013. Group went on Sing off and won. Chance came on board in 2016 when Chris left. They can play lots of instruments but choose to sing a cappella. Best harmonies around!❤
Tim was pre-dental it’s a little different than pre-med. Kevin from PTX was in school for pre-med. Tim also did some substitute teaching. Math I believe.
You should check out their Sing Off performances with judges comments (for the best version). One commonly left out by reactors but the best on this show in my opinion is I'm Alright... Home Free vs Filharmonic. It aired after the 4th performance I think.
Dont concern yourself with others opinions bro,you're entitled to yours just as they are.form your own opinion,walk your own path,nobody lives your life or thinks your thoughts but you.god bless.
This is the only version that Home Free has done of Amazing Grace that I am aware, although they do include 2 lines from the song in their cover of Go Rest High on That Mountain, both the music video version & Church Sessions version which are both just beautiful! All 5 of these guys (& Chris when he was a member) all grew up in church & Tim for sure grew up in the Church of Christ which doesn't believe in using instruments just the human voice. Tim did an episode of a podcast called Rock the Reset & he talks about his schooling. O Holy Night is certainly a Christmas carol!! If you'd like to hear some of the guys collaborate with others to hear them better check out Tim & Peter Hollens doing Misty Mountains, Sound of Silence & Greensleeves. Tim & Chris Rupp doing Angels Among Us. Adam Chance & The Hound + the Fox doing The Christmas Song & Hurt. Rob (& his friend Buegs from the acapella group The Sound Exchange) & The Hound + Fox doing Can You Feel the Love Tonight. & Adam Rupp, Chris Rupp, Elliott Robinson (the bass member of Home Free before Tim) with 2 other acapella friends doing Are You Ready for a Miracle.
@@donnabowen5054 oh alright. I've looked it up because all I've ever known is that they believe strongly that acapella is the proper form for worship, but it said some Churches of Christ do allow some instrumentation.
Since you like Austin, you should check out the live video of him singing Bring Him Home from Les Miserables during one of their concerts. He does an amazing job.
Hi FortWorthFabian, so enjoy your reactions when it comes by Home Free... if you were asked what song you would like HF to sing what would this song be,.... Chez
Rob was a bartender and was part of a group that disbanded.Tim then joined.Austin joined when the other guys in the group saw him sing on a cruise ship they were on.Then Chance joined after Chris left.Chance was also a part of an A Capella group on the same season called Street Corner Symphony as their bass guy.
Will Spidey - They asked Austin to join the group only after original member Matt Atwood decided to leave the group. You’re correct, though, they did first meet Austin on a cruise ship.
Why do the melodies of this song so easily lend themselves to all these harmonies? Because at bottom this is a Gregorian Chant and it is centuries old and familiar.
Dude Oh Holy Night is a Christmas Song when do they always play it? Don't let the trolls win they just have to argue. I believe they were started thru Church of Christ which doesn't believe in instruments in church.
Chris and Adam Rupp are brothers. They established The Home Free brand when in college as foundimg members. It was years before they reached their present size, success and number. It jess growed. O, Holy Night celebrates the birth of Christ. That's about as Christmas as it gets.
Dude, with respect to strike for copyright, the best way to cure this is interrupt the video and make a comment or two, playing the videos in full is how you get the copyright strikes.
Great reaction and comments. You talked about how Home Free was formed back in 2000 and how the members have changed over the years. There’s not a lot old stuff on YT, but here’s a video of Home Free from March 2011, before Tim, Austin, and Chance joined joined the group. It has Chris and Adam Rupp, and Rob Lundquist, plus original member Matt Atwood (tenor) and Elliot Robinson (bass). They all look so young and Rob barely has a beard. This is from a TV appearance in Chicago and they perform a cover of Train’s “Hey, Soul Sister.” th-cam.com/video/eGnd2Yh1FlM/w-d-xo.html Other great tunes form this era include King of the Road (bass lead by Elliot), Blue Moon, Under the Boardwalk (Matt Atwood on lead), and Stand By Me (Rob on lead). These are all on YT, but they are audio only.

O Holy Night is a Christmas song in my book. Folks are messing with you. They did a beautiful job with this one.
right??!!
@@FortWorthFabian I believe that O Holy Night is also a Christmas Song!! In all the choirs that I sang in we sang it at Christmas
Tim Foust (bass) is from southeast Texas; Adam Chance (baritone/bass) is from Alabama; Austin Brown (high tenor - curly hair) is from south Georgia; Rob Lundquist (lead tenor, beard & glasses) and Adam Rupp (beatboxer) are both from Minnesota.

Wow! Unreal!
Just started listening to your reactions. Home Free is amazing! I am coming to you from Cleburne, TX (just south of you).
Tim Foust (primary bass) can sing five octaves (bass to first tenor). He is powerful. If you are ever able to attend a concert, you can "feel" the base in your chest.
Austin's father was a gospel singer.
And, still is. He traveled with his Dad, with the gospel quartet.
You should check out their cover of Children Go Where I Send Thee with Kenny Rogers .Make sure to check out the end.
❤❤
Austin Browns dad used to be in a southern gospel group and Austin grew up singing with him.
Who said O Holy Night is not a Christmas Carol ??? Good Lord they must be nutz it's ALL ABOUT THE BIRTH OF CHRIST !!!!
Are you liking the bass? That’s Home Free’s TIM FOUST!!! He sort of the leader of HF!!! Thanks for reviewing!!!❤️

If you love Austin you should listen to him do Bring Him Home from Les Miz. The rest of Home Free (except Adam) is backing him. It's beautiful.
This is my favorite versi! I
Of this song , before they came out with this version my favorite is by Lari White
Home Free was formed by Adam and Chris Rupp (both music majors) in college in 2000. Chris left in 2016 to go solo.

Better than the Statler Bros version? Nah....
No comparison.....Home Free all the way.

meeting_meghan The Church of Christ does use instrument. I played guitar for a friend of mine when she did a solo.
@@donnabowen5054 oh alright. I've looked it up because all I've ever known is that they believe strongly that acapella is the proper form for worship, but it said some Churches of Christ do allow some instrumentation.
This is my favorite version of this song!! ❤️
Since you like Austin, you should check out the live video of him singing Bring Him Home from Les Miserables during one of their concerts. He does an amazing job.
Amazing Grace is definitely NOT a Christmas song. It is an old hymn published in 1779.
Chris started the group....he left a few years ago to start a new group I think.
2 in one day...love this one.Great choice!
Hi FortWorthFabian, so enjoy your reactions when it comes by Home Free... if you were asked what song you would like HF to sing what would this song be,.... Chez
Both Peter and Home Free and a cover of 19 You and Me feat. each other. 2 very different videos. I always enjoy this song. Thanks! ^_^
Cool, thanks!
Dont worry every FRY loves this one
Yes they have been around since 2000. Chance is the first one to sing after Peter.
Oh Holy Night is a Christmas song...it's about the birth of Jesus Christ....

Anthem Lights has a cover also. They are amazing. Peter Hollens, Home Free, Voice Play and Pentatonix are all Sing Off alums

Austin did a suberb job on this song, Home Free is Amazing !!!!

I'm sure you are aware, but for anyone else seeing your comment Chris and Adam's last name is Rupp.
meeting_meghan - stupid auto-correct! Thanks for the catch, I’ll fix it now.
