That look of the ladies when they hear Tim sing his bass... Seems we struck a fundamental empirical facts here guys... Girls love the bass! So talk in your lowest voice and serenade your lady in deep notes ;)
Home Free was founded 20 years ago in college by the beatboxer Adam Rupp and his brother Chris. Adam was a trumpet player and his brother Chris was a music major. Austin, the lead here, was classically trained, Rob with glasses was a music major. Tim the bass just grew up singing in choirs and not sure he was a music major but has been a singer for a long time. Both Home Free and Pentatonix were on the NBC show the Sing Off and both won their seasons and are friends. Home Free is a country band but they can sing any genre of music. Try How Great Thou Art, O Holy Night, Helplessly Hoping, to hear incredible harmonies. They sing a lot of covers but also write and sing their own stuff. Good reaction.
Home Free is amazing & is the REAL DEAL. They are the only known country-leaning Acapella all vocal band, however, they sing all genre's of music and have the videos to prove it. 4 of the 5 members of Home Free do have college degrees in Music Theory. They are not "country bumpkins", but are true professional musicians. They also do not take themselves too seriously, but have some very comedic videos. My suggestions to follow up on are : Auld Lang Syne, Land of the Free (an original), (bye bye Miss) American Pie (featuring Don McLean the writer & original singer), Meet in the Middle (one of their 1st quarantine videos, but filmed cleverly with cell phones, and editing masterpiece), End of the Road (Boyz2Men classic), Spaceship (you can see them do a little hip-hop), and a collab With Peter Hollens on a U2 cover of "Still haven't found what I'm looking for"...Enjoy the fall down the Home Free rabbit hole.
Combined, their total vocal range, along with the overlap in ranges is sick. Allows them to do thing you rarely hear. Plus Adam Rupp swallowed a full drum kit, percussion section and plenty of other instruments too.
They are Country , but they can sing anything. Try watching " How Great thou Are " or a Boys to Men classic " End of the Road ". They are awesome. Get ready to become an " Home Fry ".
Pentatonix, Home Free and Voiceplay all had their big breaks on the NBC show The Sing Off. All three have had huge career benefits on TH-cam. You should check out Voiceplay doing Oogie Boogie’s Song from The Nightmare Before Christmas to start with.
Side note: EVERYbody should check out any and all YT clips of the Sing Off, not just of groups who became superstars. Their opening numbers, with the combined groups doing choral versions of pop songs, are stunning. Four and a half seasons, 8 shows each, dozens of groups! Dont get me started on the costuming budget.
Did Voiceplay really have their big break on the Sing Off? They didn't get that far and honestly they weren't that good back then, they've improved monstrously since. Eli was good back then, but the others weren't anywhere near their current level.
Wow. You on this thread started by philherman8633 are some of the rudest people if seen on a reaction video. This was a reaction to Home Free, not to voice play, yet that's who you talk about the whole time, and that's who you tell to listen to. When you comment on a reaction video created and performed by one group you don't blow over tgem and talk about another group. FTI, Home Free won season four of the sing off and voice play failed to make the finals.
Home Free has been a group for a long time. Even before they were on and won The Sing Off. They concentrated on country and played a lot of fairs and festivals. They have a really strong comedic side as well as faith.
Great reaction! New subscriber, came for Homefree. Yep, im a Homefry! I see that my fellow Homefries gave you info on our guys! I will say these 5 guys are the most talented guys in music! They are fun, talented and down to earth. The kind of guys you wanna hang out with. They love what they do and they love their fans! They do all genres of music. They do serious songs and tackle social issues like in their cover of " Everybody walking this Land" if you react to this please watch message at the end of song. or " One Voice featuring Billy Gilman( the original artist). and they also know how to not take themselves too serious as evident in their original "Butts Medley" or their cover of " All about that bass". They do country like " Take me home Country Roads" and R&B like "Thinking out Loud/ Lets get it on". Pop like "Cant stop the feeling". They have a huge catalog of music to choose from, all of which are phenomenal. And us Homefries as you can tell love all of it! Thank you for your reaction and i hope you do more Homefree!🙂 Have a fantastic day!
This is only my second reaction I've seen you do and I love your honesty and respect for musicians and acapella. I need to check your library and read your comments but if you have not yet done Adam Rupp's drum solo (any one of them) he is phenomenal. A world champion vocal percussionist / beatboxer. But all of them can do whatever they want! They all sing they all to sounds they're just amazing. See them live if you can!
5:45 Home Free have been around for right around 20 years, but they got big when they won the Sing Off a number of years ago.They consider themselves a country group, but they are a lot more than just country. Its less that they're a country group and more that they add a country _flair_ to their music regardless of the genre. Austin Brown, the guy who started the song has some musical theater and operatic stuff in his background as well.
@@rcinsley Indeed. In fact, Austin Brown, the lead tenor, has been known to drop a comment and has shouted out and thanked reactors directly in his videos. For example, check his comments after Ain’t No Sunshine.
HF started as a cover band more than 20 years ago. The current configuration has been stable for about 5 years.. The album Dive Bar Saints has 10 original songs and 2 covers.
My other favorites of Home Free are Folsom Prison Blues, and American Pie, in which they sang the song with the original writer/singer of the song. And before that they did Elvira with the original Oak Ridge Boys. With Pentatonix and Home Free, you can pick any song and will not be disappointed.
Poor Dear, can hear that you are still struggling with respiratory issues. You are a trooper. I enjoy your reacting style. Low key, while still showing your passion. Praying for your health.
Hello, thank you for the video. I would like to see your reaction to the performances of Diana Ankudinova. This is a young singer, she has covers of famous songs, as well as her own songs.
You picked a great acapella group here. I'm a Homefry through and through. They are great singers who don't take themselves too seriously. They have fun with their videos but always sound great. This is actually one of their more serious ones. For a good laugh check out "All about that Bass"
Sweet B, you are so lovely. I'm glad that you enjoyed them. I also hope so very much that you are feeling better today and that it all goes that way more often in your future. You have my very best wishes!
Welcome to the "Rabbit Hole" that is Home Free. Formed in 2000 They have had several changes in line-up over the years but current line-up is by far my favorite. Adam Rupp - Beat boxer and only founding member left. Tim Foust - Bass, Baritone, Tenor - yes 5+ octave range. He was the low notes in this song. Austin Brown - high tenor, trained to the stage but always a country boy at heart. He wanted to be part of a group and fit right in. Rob Lundquist - Lead Tenor and one extremely versatile singer. I swear he can sing any style of music out there. And Adam Chance - Baritone, he was making the "Jew's Harp" sound. Another country boy that can get nearly as low as Tim and will often trade slots with him.
They count as the only country acapella group, but they do everything. If you want to hear Tim go low lesson to their, Do You Know What I Know. Another is Peter Hollene and Tim Foust doing Misty Mountains.
5 of the most talented musicians in the musical arena. Their musicianship is top quality. There are 144 official videos of theirs on TH-cam and there isn't a bad one among them.
Intro to Home Free: Group was formed in 2000, and beatboxer Adam Rupp is the last original member. Tenor Rob Lundquist (dark beard) joined the group in 2008, when the group went full-time. Bass Tim Foust is from Texas, and has been part of the group since 2010. Tenor Austin Brown, a Georgian, came aboard in 2012. The group was formed in Minnesota, and took a turn towards country after adding Foust and Brown. Bass-baritone Adam Chance is the most recent addition. He replaced OG Chris Rupp in 2016.
Hi Moly , I am a fan of PENTATONIX ,but I am also an 55 years old east-german "boy" ... my first foreign language at scool was russian not english ( i forget the russian ... but after the first 1oo ml Vodka I remember ;-) ) so have pity on me (and thanks God for google translator :-)))... my NEXT favorit ACAPELLA- group "VOICEPLAY" .... and "VOCTAVE" .... they are ALL great ARTIST with their VOICE`s .... I also see and heard you are interestet at really special voices ( you hear the incredible Dimash Kudaibergen .... really HOT STUFF !!!) ... searching also DIANA ANKUDINOVA ..really deep voice for this young LADY...( Wicked Games/Human/Rechenka :::::)I recommend you !!! ( and of course ; sorry for my terrible english !!!!!)
All have formal vocal training. They can sing anything. They found Austin (the first leaf on this song) singing on a Cruise ship. They have lots of stuff. Check out Ring of Fire, Castle on the hill, Mayday.
@@MollyBeeReacts if you are into Disney songs and songs along those lines you could also check out Voiceplay's Moana Medley, Little Mermaid Medley, Frozen 2 Medley and many more. They did alot themed songs, covers or related stuff, usually some rather fun/quirky, light hearted songs.
@@MollyBeeReacts Another group to react to after you've watched Voctave is Voiceplay. I personally love their Little Mermaid Medley with Rachel Potter.
@@MollyBeeReacts Voctave and VoicePlay do excellent Disney medleys and covers. The Princess Medley suggested above features the female singers and their "Disney Showstoppers" features the men. And Voctave's "Disney Love Medley" with Kirsten Maldonado from Pentatonix put them on the TH-cam map when it went viral. But VoicePlay probably has more Disney videos total and they are a blast, slightly more theatrical and equally talented.
Surprise! Although I don't know his musical background/education, Adam Rupp the beatboxer is the founder of Home Free. But he has a beautiful voice. You can hear it in their song How Great Thou Art.
There's a lot of crossover in the fanbases of Home Free and Pentatonix. Home Free fans call themselves "Homefries", and of course Pentatonix has their "Pentaholics"... one of the terms often used for fans of both is "PentaFries". Pentatonix, Home Free, Voiceplay, and Voctave are the elite of the acapella world. I think you'd enjoy all of them.
Oh, they are the country/rock/gospel version of Pentatonix. They do more comedy than Pentatonix (Champagne Tastes, Butts Remix for starters) but can also deliver tearjerkers. They have been doing a cappella for 20+ years - doing a lot of state fairs circuits and stuff, I think. They started in Minnesota. The group has changed a few members over the years, but I think the beatboxer, Adam Rupp, was one of the founding members. Adam Chance, baritone/bass back up, is the newest member. Tim Foust, butt shaking bass, is a force of nature. Austin Brown was the lead tenor for this song (and could give Mitch a run for his money) and Rob Lindquist (killer beard) is the other tenor. They take turns singing lead just like Pentatonix. Home Free won the sing-off season 4, right after Pentatonix won season 3. They also haven't sung a bad song. :o)
If you check out Cash's "Ring Of Fire" from Home Free, you can catch Avi Kaplan - the bearded bass guy from Pentatonix - helping Home Free's Tim Foust with some extra bass! Talk about power! With *both* of them there ... don't be cranking it up too high if you want to keep your speakers!
I just subscribed!! Welcome to HOME FREE HOME FREE is a county A Capella band (NO INSTRUMENTS) that does more than just country. Tim Foust, the bass (5 octave range) , Adam Rupp, the beatboxer (freak of nature), Adam Chance (Chance) is the baritone/bass, since 2016, he took over for Chris Rupp (one of the founders of the group), Rob Lundquist, tenor and Austin Browm high tenor make up the voices of angels. PLEASE listen to more.. If I know my Home Free family well (Home Fries) , they have already given you suggestions of music. LOL Thanks for the reaction
Hello! Thank you for the video!Please pay attention to the young singer Diana Ankudinova.Make reactions to the songs of Wicked game, Human🌞🌞🌞DIANA ANKUDINOVA is a talented young singer. I would like to know your opinion. I think you will be surprised. Diana has a very unusual voice and artistic presentation for her age.🌹🌹🌹 Thanks in advance
In 2012 penatonix won the show the sing off ,2013 was Either Homefree or Voiceplay and 2014 was Homefree or Voiceplay I’m not sure of the dates but they are the trifecta between 2012 -2014 all won the sing off accapella competition show !!
Hi Molly, new sub here. Between PTX, Home Free, and VoicePlay, among others, you are tapping into a rich vein of musical innovation. As I'm sure others have told you, Tim Foust is the bass for Home Free. You might want to explore Geoff Castelucci of VoicePlay; he also does solo (layered) pieces. And Avi Kaplan, formerly PTX's bass, does the same In fact, please look at Home Fred's cover of Ring of Fire, featuring Avi, for a real treat. I enjoyed your thoughtful approach to this video, and I am now subscribed and back for more....many thanks.
Loved the reaction and analysis. they came out of the same show as PTX, and Voiceplay. Just a numbers comparison of views..PTX 5+ Billion, Home Free 330+ Million Voiceplay 190+ Million views. All are different and all are super talented. Feel free to enjoy them all.
'Folsom Prison Blues' is a great one. And two that you should definitely react to but maybe wait until you get a good feel of who they are, and their skills, are 'Mayday' and 'Snow Globe.' the latter is an original song written by Tim, their bass, and I think it's VERY underrated. And for another single that's also written by Tim, but also more goofy, is 'Champagne Taste (on a beer budget)' Anyways, I really enjoyed your reaction and you should know that Home Free are really supportive of reaction channels, and I doubt you'll have a problem with copyright or anything like that. Austin, the lead vocalist in their cover of 'Man of Constant Sorrow,' has even sent a couple personal messages to a few react channels thanking them for reacting. He seems really genuine. They all do.
Molly molly molly... you have now made yourself a target of every Home Fry that inhabits the You Tubes. Hunker down and keep your head low! As for my recommendations... everything. Done. Sorted.
I tend to be into groups that have something unique about them. It really doesn't make a lot of difference as to what genre said band fall into as long as they have that quality about them that sets them apart
They are both winners on "the Sing Off".. PTX sort of formed to take on the sing off.. while Home Free was already a singing group for years prior. "9 to 5" cover.. "Champagne Taste (On a Beer Budget) [original]", "Ring of Fire" Cover. "Home Free - Everything Will Be Okay" "Soul Train" cover
Subscribed!!!!! 😜👍😎 You definitely need to React to more Home Free Songs! If you do, I promise you that you will be swarmed by Home Fries! That's what Home Free Fans are called since the Sing Off, on NBC! Anyways here are a few suggestions: "Ring Of Fire" Featuring Avi Kaplan formerly of Pentatonix "Ring Of Fire" The Sing Off Version "American Pie" Featuring Don McLean "One Voice" Featuring Billy Gilman "Traveling Soldier" "Colder Weather" "Some Girls Do" "Castle On The Hill" "Cover Me Up" "People" Featuring Jeffrey East "Blue Ain't Your Colour" "Die A Happy Man" "What's The World Coming To" "In The Blood" "Winter Song" "The Gambler" "Take Me Home Country Roads" "Folsom Prison Blues" "Down To The Honky Tonk" "Dive Bar Saints" "I Can't Outrun You" "Helplessly Hoping" And more! If you get through all of these in addition to the ones that you have already done, and you know everyone's name and skills you are Welcome to do "Mayday" but ONLY if you have done between 15-20 Reactions!
Pentatonix won Season 3 of The Sing Off, and Home Free won Season 4. Home Free showed their Country Acapella in the competition but they cross over to R&B, Reggae and pop. They also sing a lot of anthems.
Home Free has been around a lot longer than Pentatonix. Originally, they did a lot of different pop, jazz, and some country. In the late 2000 they landed their super bass, Tim Foust. He had been a solo county artist, and with his addition, Home Free became much more of a country A Capella band. The vast majority of their music is country, with a modern twist. Most of their other songs have that country twang anyway. Tim Foust is the super deep bass you heard. Adam Rupp (the only original member left, and co-founder) is the best beat boxer on the planet who did the harmonica. He also sings tenor harmonies when they don't do a rhythm section. Adam Chance (just Chance for short), is the guy that did the "juice harp" sound throughout and sings the bass line whenever Tim takes leads. Their 2 tenors are Rob Lundquist (heavy black beard) and Austin Brown (voice like butter according to Shawn Stockman from Boys to Men during The Sing Off)
You'll be getting a lot of requests for these guys now that you've done one, but I strongly suggest waiting to do their cover of 'Mayday' by CAM until you know them better. They have a surprise in that video that goes right over the heads of people who are new to the group. I would say do at least 3 or 4 other videos from them before doing Mayday. I recommend their covers of 'Some Girls Do', 'Die A Happy Man', 'Thank God I'ma Country Boy' and their original songs, 'Champaign Taste On A Beer Budget' and 'Why Not'. There are plenty of other great songs, but those are some of my favorites.
Other acapella styles to appreciate: Swingle Singers (vocal classical), Street Corner Symphony (also SingOff, very fun), Peter Hollens (collaborates, see his Commencement Address), Groove for Thought (disbanded, see Spain and In the Dark Midwinter ?). Also search TH-cam for acapella multitrack (single people doing all parts).
Great reaction! Try their Ring of Fire with Avi, it’s awesome. Others have commented to listen to VoicePlay, I agree. They recently did a cover of that Viking song … wow! Newly subscribed to your channel thank you for this the homefries cheer! Oh, there are videos of Tim ( home free deep voice but does more) blowing speakers on stage live when he goes low. Crazy…but… I think I side with Geoff from VoicePlay for depth of range. His blackbird cover is incredible.
The top 3 acapella groups atm (in my opinion) are Pentatonix, Home Free and Voice Play. All three groups are made up of childhood friends who found the other couple of members who round out their sounds. HF and VP members have done arrangements for each other, and all three first made impact on the NBC show The Sing Off. Must See Tracks from each... HF: How Great Thou Art, The Butts Medley, Elvira and American Pie VP: My Mother Told Me, The Little Mermaid Medley, Oogie Boogies Song and Queen in 5 Minutes PTX: Sound Of Silence, Daft Punk Medley, Amazing Grace, Imagine and Coffee In Bed
Home Free started back in 2000 by Chris Rupp and his brother Adam who is the beatboxer. But the group has changed people throughout the years. The only original left from the beginning is the beatboxer Adam. The group is the first and only country acappela group. The group now consists of Austin Brown sky high tenor (started the song), Rob Lundquist lead tenor (second to sing), Tim Foust the bass that has a 5 octave range, Adam Chance the baritone back left (also can sing bass) who goes by Chance and Adam Rupp. Enjoyed watching your first time reaction to them.
This group has perhaps the best Beat Boxer in the world, Adam Rupp! And then they have Chance who covers the beat box and the bass when the Adam and Tim Foust (bass) are soloing. Home Free has been a group for over 20 years...they started as a Church/Country Acapella group. But they do a little of everything now. They won the Sing Off the year after Pentatonix won the same show. HF and Pentatonix members are good friends.
Impressive analysis. You caught a lot more than the average. You know your music! HF does everything. Tim even adds aspects of opera with his runs in Ring of Fire. Each cover they do they mimic the style of the author like Johnny Cash or Back Street boys, but add their own country twist. They also do so many tribute and cooperative tunes. American Pie is masterful. They literally let the author sing his melody and filled in around him. Other favorites are Ald Lang Syne, How Great Thou Art and Misty Mountains, but honestly everything they do is perfection.
Molly, I've listened to a lot of reactions to Home Free-Man of Constant Sorrow because I love the song. I really like yours. First, you're genuine. You're just you. In other words, you don't try to know more than they do. You just react. Second, you listen to everyone. That's huge, you're not just focused on one thing. Last, maybe least, you're cute but not stupid. You seem to have some common sense. I like that. Hope you get it. Just saying. One last thing, I'm happily married for 43 years. No come on from this direction. Have a great day. Mark
Okay this is my third message! But you asked for background and such! So I'll send you another message after this too because you need to React to more Home Free but you'll need to know there names! Home Free is: Earlier Years Chris Rupp (usually wearing a Cowboy Hat & always smiling) and Adam Rupp, the Beatboxer founded the Group. Chris went Solo in 2016 with which he is doing Very Well! Adam Chance who goes by Chance was brought in to replace Chris! Chance is the Baritone that has a 4 Octave Range. He can replace Tim, the Group's Bassist when needed as Chance was the Bassist in his previous Group before Home Free. Back to Adam Rupp, he's the incredibly talented Beatboxer and can sing well too! His Beatboxing is above and beyond any other Beatboxer that I have seen! He's also won several Beatboxing Championships to boot!😁😁 Now to Tim, the Group's Bassist has a 5 Octave Range so he can Lead the Group as a Bassist or a Tenor or something in between! He's Phenomenal and he's also taught some other Bassists from other Acapella Group's to be able to do certain things that allow them to get Lower and hit Notes they weren't able to before now. The Bearded Singer is the Group's Tenor and he is Awesome! Such a Creamy Tone and at times his Range is incredible too! To end the Group's Members is Austin the Group's High Tenor. This man is unbelievable! He can hit the highest of the highest of notes and he still can do Low Notes almost Baritone standards! Now hopefully you can get caught up with the Group's Members!
God bless you sweet pretty girl, you actually listen to the song the whole way through
That look of the ladies when they hear Tim sing his bass... Seems we struck a fundamental empirical facts here guys... Girls love the bass! So talk in your lowest voice and serenade your lady in deep notes ;)

Phil,
Molly would love Geoff Castellucci, Bass and Baritone singer for Voiceplay like you stated Oogie Boogie. He has vocal range of 4 to 5 Octaves.
Side note: EVERYbody should check out any and all YT clips of the Sing Off, not just of groups who became superstars. Their opening numbers, with the combined groups doing choral versions of pop songs, are stunning. Four and a half seasons, 8 shows each, dozens of groups! Dont get me started on the costuming budget.
@@MrTech226 I heard tell it was 5 and a half octaves. Molly should also check out Sixteen Tons, sung by Geoff Castellucci x4.

Yes, you must hear him sing "Bring Him Home" from Les Miserables.
@@pinky2245 That song is typically for a baritone but Austin makes it seem like it was always meant for a tenor.
Try their "Butts Remix" for a totally different look at this funloving group
And All About That Bass
Plan on watching Butts remix twice. It's a great song but the first time you will be laughing too much to full enjoy the awesomeness of the music.
That is too true, but many forget that they have their own original songs, like Champaign Taste on a Beer Budget
I look forward to more Home Free reactions (so many great songs to choose from).
Thank you - and I look forward to filming them and sharing them with you all!

Thanks for reacting to Home Free!! Love them - awesomely talented!💗 Please react to more of their music!
Any song they do is brilliant home free have a wide range of music from country to pop to their own music
If you want to take a trip along the "belly laugh, chuckle, and giggle" path, slip on your cowboy hat and watch their "Butts Remix".
FINALLY a reaction video where it is not being paused every minute. Love it and tyvm.
My other favorites of Home Free are Folsom Prison Blues, and American Pie, in which they sang the song with the original writer/singer of the song. And before that they did Elvira with the original Oak Ridge Boys. With Pentatonix and Home Free, you can pick any song and will not be disappointed.
You can combine Home Free with Pentatonix's bass, Avi Kaplan by watching them all cover "Ring of Fire"...

Their lead singer is Austin Brown. His solo channel has some amazing covers on it.
Nice, I play this song from Homefree or reaction over and over again
They are the best ever
Check out Geoff Castallucci's version of The Beatles, "Blackbird". He goes from low, low bass to falsetto easily.
Welcome to the "Rabbit Hole" that is Home Free. Formed in 2000 They have had several changes in line-up over the years but current line-up is by far my favorite.
Adam Rupp - Beat boxer and only founding member left. Tim Foust - Bass, Baritone, Tenor - yes 5+ octave range. He was the low notes in this song. Austin Brown - high tenor, trained to the stage but always a country boy at heart. He wanted to be part of a group and fit right in. Rob Lundquist - Lead Tenor and one extremely versatile singer. I swear he can sing any style of music out there. And Adam Chance - Baritone, he was making the "Jew's Harp" sound. Another country boy that can get nearly as low as Tim and will often trade slots with him.
Some are confused about the jaw harp sound (not a didgeridoo). It's Chance.
Yes! Most reactors miss that fact!
They count as the only country acapella group, but they do everything. If you want to hear Tim go low lesson to their, Do You Know What I Know. Another is Peter Hollene and Tim Foust doing Misty Mountains.
5 of the most talented musicians in the musical arena. Their musicianship is top quality. There are 144 official videos of theirs on TH-cam and there isn't a bad one among them.
Intro to Home Free: Group was formed in 2000, and beatboxer Adam Rupp is the last original member. Tenor Rob Lundquist (dark beard) joined the group in 2008, when the group went full-time. Bass Tim Foust is from Texas, and has been part of the group since 2010. Tenor Austin Brown, a Georgian, came aboard in 2012. The group was formed in Minnesota, and took a turn towards country after adding Foust and Brown. Bass-baritone Adam Chance is the most recent addition. He replaced OG Chris Rupp in 2016.
Hi Moly , I am a fan of PENTATONIX ,but I am also an 55 years old east-german "boy" ... my first foreign language at scool was russian not english ( i forget the russian ... but after the first 1oo ml Vodka I remember ;-) ) so have pity on me (and thanks God for google translator :-)))... my NEXT favorit ACAPELLA- group "VOICEPLAY" .... and "VOCTAVE" .... they are ALL great ARTIST with their VOICE`s .... I also see and heard you are interestet at really special voices ( you hear the incredible Dimash Kudaibergen .... really HOT STUFF !!!) ... searching also DIANA ANKUDINOVA ..really deep voice for this young LADY...( Wicked Games/Human/Rechenka :::::)I recommend you !!! ( and of course ; sorry for my terrible english !!!!!)
All have formal vocal training. They can sing anything. They found Austin (the first leaf on this song) singing on a Cruise ship. They have lots of stuff. Check out Ring of Fire, Castle on the hill, Mayday.
Home Free's version of Folsom Prison Blues is amazing as well, it is one of my favorites
The guy doing the harmonica sounds was also VOCALLY doing ALL of the drums! There's a separate YT video of him doing a drum solo.
checkout acapella group Voctave singing "Disney Princess Medley" they are impressive. and this is coming from a 70 yr old great grandfather :)
Ohhhhhh okay I definitely have to watch that! I have a soft spot for Disney songs lol
@@MollyBeeReacts if you are into Disney songs and songs along those lines you could also check out Voiceplay's Moana Medley, Little Mermaid Medley, Frozen 2 Medley and many more. They did alot themed songs, covers or related stuff, usually some rather fun/quirky, light hearted songs.
@@MollyBeeReacts Another group to react to after you've watched Voctave is Voiceplay. I personally love their Little Mermaid Medley with Rachel Potter.
@@MollyBeeReacts Voctave and VoicePlay do excellent Disney medleys and covers. The Princess Medley suggested above features the female singers and their "Disney Showstoppers" features the men. And Voctave's "Disney Love Medley" with Kirsten Maldonado from Pentatonix put them on the TH-cam map when it went viral. But VoicePlay probably has more Disney videos total and they are a blast, slightly more theatrical and equally talented.
Surprise!
Although I don't know his musical background/education, Adam Rupp the beatboxer is the founder of Home Free.
But he has a beautiful voice. You can hear it in their song How Great Thou Art.
Check out their covers of "Blue Ain't Your Color" and "End Of The Road"
Love the way you react with out stopping the show!
The baritone by the post also sings bass .
They do all sorts of music, you should check out MayDay, Tim Faust (Bass) sings tenor, it's amazing
Home Free is awesome.
I'm really impressed so far!
@@MollyBeeReacts I love Thank God I’m A Country Boy.
There's a lot of crossover in the fanbases of Home Free and Pentatonix.
Home Free fans call themselves "Homefries", and of course Pentatonix has their "Pentaholics"... one of the terms often used for fans of both is "PentaFries".
Pentatonix, Home Free, Voiceplay, and Voctave are the elite of the acapella world. I think you'd enjoy all of them.
Oh, they are the country/rock/gospel version of Pentatonix. They do more comedy than Pentatonix (Champagne Tastes, Butts Remix for starters) but can also deliver tearjerkers. They have been doing a cappella for 20+ years - doing a lot of state fairs circuits and stuff, I think. They started in Minnesota. The group has changed a few members over the years, but I think the beatboxer, Adam Rupp, was one of the founding members. Adam Chance, baritone/bass back up, is the newest member. Tim Foust, butt shaking bass, is a force of nature. Austin Brown was the lead tenor for this song (and could give Mitch a run for his money) and Rob Lindquist (killer beard) is the other tenor. They take turns singing lead just like Pentatonix. Home Free won the sing-off season 4, right after Pentatonix won season 3. They also haven't sung a bad song. :o)
If you check out Cash's "Ring Of Fire" from Home Free, you can catch Avi Kaplan - the bearded bass guy from Pentatonix - helping Home Free's Tim Foust with some extra bass! Talk about power! With *both* of them there ... don't be cranking it up too high if you want to keep your speakers!
I absolutely love their remake of Eagles "Seven Bridges Road"
Welcome, baby homefry! Enjoy your fall down the rabbit hole!
I just subscribed!!
Welcome to HOME FREE
HOME FREE is a county A Capella band (NO INSTRUMENTS) that does more than just country. Tim Foust, the bass (5 octave range) , Adam Rupp, the beatboxer (freak of nature), Adam Chance (Chance) is the baritone/bass, since 2016, he took over for Chris Rupp (one of the founders of the group), Rob Lundquist, tenor and Austin Browm high tenor make up the voices of angels. PLEASE listen to more.. If I know my Home Free family well (Home Fries) , they have already given you suggestions of music. LOL Thanks for the reaction
Hello! Thank you for the video!Please pay attention to the young singer Diana Ankudinova.Make reactions to the songs of Wicked game, Human🌞🌞🌞DIANA ANKUDINOVA is a talented young singer. I would like to know your opinion. I think you will be surprised. Diana has a very unusual voice and artistic presentation for her age.🌹🌹🌹 Thanks in advance
Diana Ankudinova is an amazing singer,her voice fascinates!
Diana Ankudinova 😊👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥🎉💫💯
Diana this is the best thing I've ever heard in my life🤯
In 2012 penatonix won the show the sing off ,2013 was Either Homefree or Voiceplay and 2014 was Homefree or Voiceplay I’m not sure of the dates but they are the trifecta between 2012 -2014 all won the sing off accapella competition show !!
Hi Molly, new sub here. Between PTX, Home Free, and VoicePlay, among others, you are tapping into a rich vein of musical innovation. As I'm sure others have told you, Tim Foust is the bass for Home Free. You might want to explore Geoff Castelucci of VoicePlay; he also does solo (layered) pieces. And Avi Kaplan, formerly PTX's bass, does the same
In fact, please look at Home Fred's cover of Ring of Fire, featuring Avi, for a real treat.
I enjoyed your thoughtful approach to this video, and I am now subscribed and back for more....many thanks.
Loved the reaction and analysis. they came out of the same show as PTX, and Voiceplay. Just a numbers comparison of views..PTX 5+ Billion, Home Free 330+ Million Voiceplay 190+ Million views. All are different and all are super talented. Feel free to enjoy them all.
You will find all their covers are exquisite.
'Folsom Prison Blues' is a great one. And two that you should definitely react to but maybe wait until you get a good feel of who they are, and their skills, are 'Mayday' and 'Snow Globe.' the latter is an original song written by Tim, their bass, and I think it's VERY underrated. And for another single that's also written by Tim, but also more goofy, is 'Champagne Taste (on a beer budget)'
Anyways, I really enjoyed your reaction and you should know that Home Free are really supportive of reaction channels, and I doubt you'll have a problem with copyright or anything like that. Austin, the lead vocalist in their cover of 'Man of Constant Sorrow,' has even sent a couple personal messages to a few react channels thanking them for reacting. He seems really genuine. They all do.
Molly molly molly... you have now made yourself a target of every Home Fry that inhabits the You Tubes. Hunker down and keep your head low! As for my recommendations... everything. Done. Sorted.
I tend to be into groups that have something unique about them. It really doesn't make a lot of difference as to what genre said band fall into as long as they have that quality about them that sets them apart
They are both winners on "the Sing Off".. PTX sort of formed to take on the sing off.. while Home Free was already a singing group for years prior. "9 to 5" cover.. "Champagne Taste (On a Beer Budget) [original]", "Ring of Fire" Cover. "Home Free - Everything Will Be Okay" "Soul Train" cover
I love this song!
This group was formed in Mankato Minnesota
Adam Rupp the vocal percussionist is amazing.
They also covered Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire", featuring Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix. Two great basses, one great song!
Home Free has a lot of great songs. Also think you would love Voiceplay’s cover of ‘My Mother Told Me’. It’s awesome.
Please do more Home Free. You won't be disappointed
You might like to react to the video of Tim blowing up the speakers with a low note during a live concert in Morrison Illinois...

Pentatonix won Season 3 of The Sing Off, and Home Free won Season 4. Home Free showed their Country Acapella in the competition but they cross over to R&B, Reggae and pop. They also sing a lot of anthems.
Home Free has been around a lot longer than Pentatonix. Originally, they did a lot of different pop, jazz, and some country. In the late 2000 they landed their super bass, Tim Foust. He had been a solo county artist, and with his addition, Home Free became much more of a country A Capella band. The vast majority of their music is country, with a modern twist. Most of their other songs have that country twang anyway. Tim Foust is the super deep bass you heard. Adam Rupp (the only original member left, and co-founder) is the best beat boxer on the planet who did the harmonica. He also sings tenor harmonies when they don't do a rhythm section. Adam Chance (just Chance for short), is the guy that did the "juice harp" sound throughout and sings the bass line whenever Tim takes leads. Their 2 tenors are Rob Lundquist (heavy black beard) and Austin Brown (voice like butter according to Shawn Stockman from Boys to Men during The Sing Off)
Their "Country Fried Pop Medley" is a great example of something outside the country genre.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole!
Beat-boxed instruments: diggerie-do, harmonica, drums, Jews harp.
You'll be getting a lot of requests for these guys now that you've done one, but I strongly suggest waiting to do their cover of 'Mayday' by CAM until you know them better. They have a surprise in that video that goes right over the heads of people who are new to the group. I would say do at least 3 or 4 other videos from them before doing Mayday. I recommend their covers of 'Some Girls Do', 'Die A Happy Man', 'Thank God I'ma Country Boy' and their original songs, 'Champaign Taste On A Beer Budget' and 'Why Not'. There are plenty of other great songs, but those are some of my favorites.
Other acapella styles to appreciate: Swingle Singers (vocal classical), Street Corner Symphony (also SingOff, very fun), Peter Hollens (collaborates, see his Commencement Address), Groove for Thought (disbanded, see Spain and In the Dark Midwinter ?). Also search TH-cam for acapella multitrack (single people doing all parts).
yes, this song is considered Bluegrass, the old style folk music that came out of the mountains and bayous
They do all kinds of music. Enjoy.
Great reaction! Try their Ring of Fire with Avi, it’s awesome. Others have commented to listen to VoicePlay, I agree. They recently did a cover of that Viking song … wow! Newly subscribed to your channel thank you for this the homefries cheer! Oh, there are videos of Tim ( home free deep voice but does more) blowing speakers on stage live when he goes low. Crazy…but… I think I side with Geoff from VoicePlay for depth of range. His blackbird cover is incredible.
and remember that every sound is A Capella even that twang sound at the beginning and at the end (done by Adam Chance)
Christmas music is great luv their hymns
Your wig looks so real today!!
LMAO
Peter Hollens and Tim Foust Misty Mountain
I am a Home Fry, and I think you would like their version of 'Ring of Fire.' Also 'End of the Road.'
The top 3 acapella groups atm (in my opinion) are Pentatonix, Home Free and Voice Play. All three groups are made up of childhood friends who found the other couple of members who round out their sounds. HF and VP members have done arrangements for each other, and all three first made impact on the NBC show The Sing Off. Must See Tracks from each...
HF: How Great Thou Art, The Butts Medley, Elvira and American Pie
VP: My Mother Told Me, The Little Mermaid Medley, Oogie Boogies Song and Queen in 5 Minutes
PTX: Sound Of Silence, Daft Punk Medley, Amazing Grace, Imagine and Coffee In Bed
Their bass is amazing he can hit sub wuffer( forgive my spelling) notes
Do how great thou art 🔥
You should check out their covers of Folsom Prison Blues and Ring of Fire.
Man of Constant Sorrow was originally done by Bob Dillion, then the Soggy Bottom Boys for the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Home Free started back in 2000 by Chris Rupp and his brother Adam who is the beatboxer. But the group has changed people throughout the years. The only original left from the beginning is the beatboxer Adam. The group is the first and only country acappela group. The group now consists of Austin Brown sky high tenor (started the song), Rob Lundquist lead tenor (second to sing), Tim Foust the bass that has a 5 octave range, Adam Chance the baritone back left (also can sing bass) who goes by Chance and Adam Rupp. Enjoyed watching your first time reaction to them.
At least one of the guys from pentatonix sings ring of fire with home free
loved your reaction.
If you haven't heard it yet listen to Peter Hollens and Tim Foust (the bass from Home Free) cover Misty Mountain! Tim will totally blow your mind!!
This group has perhaps the best Beat Boxer in the world, Adam Rupp! And then they have Chance who covers the beat box and the bass when the Adam and Tim Foust (bass) are soloing. Home Free has been a group for over 20 years...they started as a Church/Country Acapella group. But they do a little of everything now. They won the Sing Off the year after Pentatonix won the same show. HF and Pentatonix members are good friends.
Impressive analysis. You caught a lot more than the average. You know your music! HF does everything. Tim even adds aspects of opera with his runs in Ring of Fire. Each cover they do they mimic the style of the author like Johnny Cash or Back Street boys, but add their own country twist. They also do so many tribute and cooperative tunes. American Pie is masterful. They literally let the author sing his melody and filled in around him. Other favorites are Ald Lang Syne, How Great Thou Art and Misty Mountains, but honestly everything they do is perfection.
Misty Mountains by Peter Hollens with Tim Faust, a.k.a. The Bass. Some people believe he's part dragon.
Molly, I've listened to a lot of reactions to Home Free-Man of Constant Sorrow because I love the song. I really like yours. First, you're genuine. You're just you. In other words, you don't try to know more than they do. You just react. Second, you listen to everyone. That's huge, you're not just focused on one thing. Last, maybe least, you're cute but not stupid. You seem to have some common sense. I like that. Hope you get it. Just saying. One last thing, I'm happily married for 43 years. No come on from this direction. Have a great day. Mark
Okay this is my third message!
But you asked for background and such!
So I'll send you another message after this too because you need to React to more Home Free but you'll need to know there names!
Home Free is:
Earlier Years Chris Rupp (usually wearing a Cowboy Hat & always smiling) and Adam Rupp, the Beatboxer founded the Group. Chris went Solo in 2016 with which he is doing Very Well!
Adam Chance who goes by Chance was brought in to replace Chris!
Chance is the Baritone that has a 4 Octave Range.
He can replace Tim, the Group's Bassist when needed as Chance was the Bassist in his previous Group before Home Free.
Back to Adam Rupp, he's the incredibly talented Beatboxer and can sing well too!
His Beatboxing is above and beyond any other Beatboxer that I have seen!
He's also won several Beatboxing Championships to boot!😁😁
Now to Tim, the Group's Bassist has a 5 Octave Range so he can Lead the Group as a Bassist or a Tenor or something in between!
He's Phenomenal and he's also taught some other Bassists from other Acapella Group's to be able to do certain things that allow them to get Lower and hit Notes they weren't able to before now.
The Bearded Singer is the Group's Tenor and he is Awesome!
Such a Creamy Tone and at times his Range is incredible too!
To end the Group's Members is Austin the Group's High Tenor.
This man is unbelievable!
He can hit the highest of the highest of notes and he still can do Low Notes almost Baritone standards!
Now hopefully you can get caught up with the Group's Members!
Good tune. love the tats. first time here
Welcome to home free listen to end of the road , die a happy man,they can do anything really enjoy your journey
