Tim & Avi are very good friends, which is what led to this collaboration. While Avi has always been a basso profundo and could hit low operatic notes, it was Tim who actually taught him how to use the growl voice to go even lower, thus increasing Avi's bass range. Both of them also have impressive higher registers as well. This type of music has always been more of Avi's style than the pop he performed with Pentatonix, so the last shot of Avi removing his trademark beanie and replacing it with a cowboy hat is a nod to this genre, and a kind of "I'm one of you now" gesture. This may have been a sign of things to come, as his solo music is now in a more Country/Folk/Roots/Americana vein. Avi's made appearances in other Home Free videos, but just as a guest character...this was his only singing collaboration with them. I really wish they would do more. Maybe once Covid is a thing of the past, they will do so!
Tim and Austin and Avi all live in the Nashville area so it is quite possible. BTW Avi is doing a virtual concert on the 25th with his band for the first time since last year so things are starting back up little by little for all the bands now.
You're right, Avi's smoothness is special. Like warm chocolate. Tim goes a bit lower but it's more gravel and a lot of breath to it. Avi's is clean and clear.
"it's crazy that Tim can sing up there and hit the lows..." Maybe check out Folsom Prison Blues and/or the Sea Shanty Medley than watch Mayday. You need to hear Chance sing some before hitting up Mayday but it will blow your mind.
Home Free made this arrangement back during the sing off and Tim’s last note was so low, it shook the floor and everyone there was shocked. If you search up that version you will be understand.
Geoff of Voiceplay has his own channel where he sings a bunch of songs (bass cover) like: "The Headless Horseman", "16 Tons", "Blackbird", "The Bare Necessaries", and "Take Me Home Country Road". Voiceplay has a cover of "Carry on Wayward Son" and "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch" that is so amazing that you should really check out.
I love how you "melted" when Avi hit that low note. :) You and I are in total agreement with this song: the two awesome basses from my two favorite acapella groups in one song/video is a dream come true!! Also, thank you for commenting on how long Tim sustained that insanely low note at the end of the song. Pretty much every reactor mentions how low he can sing, but very few mention how long he can sustain those notes, which is just as impressive. Finally, if you want more of Adam displaying his otherworldly skills, check out his drum solo video from one of their concerts. Just be prepared to get knocked off your chair. :) Great reaction Gabbsi!
Additional American a cappella bands - 2 more I would suggest Vocative and Voiceplay. The 3rd big a cappella bass is Geoff Castelluci of Voiceplay who uses subharmonics. Oh Avi can also get pretty high up there as well. Not as high as Tim who has a 6 octave range but pretty high. For Avi in his upper register try his cover of "Hey Ya!" Or "Standing By" with Pentatonix. It has to be a live version they never did a video of him for "Standing By" or "Light in the Hallway". He carries the entire melody in both. For Tim see Homefree's "MayDay". They just will not stay in their bass parts 🙂 Avi also just released a new "Song for the Thankful" done in his upper register that can bookend with his biggest solo hit "Change on the Rise" which is bass. Geoff Castelluci can do the same type of thing. For fun try "Zombies vs Hillbillies" which is Voiceplay vs Homefree. Also Peter Hollens has collaborated with both Tim on the "Misty Mountains" and Avi on "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair". Interesting technique Peter has of layering himself.
Gabbsi, wonderful reaction....you have a new subscriber!!!! Home Free has an AMAZING wide collection of all genres of music please explore it more, luv your vids
Another great reaction! For more Pentatonix related stuff, you should check out Kevin Olusola’s cover/loop session of “Down”. Also, the PTX cover of “Shallow” is amazing.
I agree with all of your reaction. Not to take anything away from either Avi or Tim you should check out "Oogie Boogie" by Voice Play. Geoff (their bass) shows off his 5 octave range. Lots of fun. Also check out Tim's collaboration with Peter Hollens singing "Misty Mountains".
Next: "Oogie Boogie Song" by VoicePlay "Misty Mountains" by Peter Hollens ft. Tim Foust And if you ever decide to begin exploring Nightwish, you'll be set for a year of reaction videos!
They did Elvira together with the Oakridge Boys. They have a good sized library of videos and they do all kinds of genres. Try "In the blood", "Seven Bridges Road", "Butts Remix", "End of the Road", or "My Church", "Mayday", "Can't stop the Feeling". It's hard to go wrong with these guys. I almost forgot "Hillbilly Bone" and "thinking Out Loud/Let's Get it on"
If you want to see more of the tenor - Austin Brown, try Home Free - 'When a Man Loves a Woman' --- AND --- you absolutely MUST see Austin Brown's solo 'Unchained Melody'. You won't be disappointed !
Home Free has alot of stuff. Some of favorites are In the Blood, Blue Ain't Your Color, Go Rest High on that Mountain. And then they have alot of funny and very entertaining one like, the Butts Remix, Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget, and All About the Bass. Just to name a few.
Yeah Mr Tim Foust has a crazy Range! If you wanna see another amazing Bass that can go super low and crazy high check out Geoff Castellucci from Voiceplay. He also does some great solo stuff on his own channel!
Hey, nice reaction Gabbsi! Please react to Dirty Loops - World On Fire, they're a Swedish trio who are managed by THE Quincy Jones so you know they must be great! Satisfaction guaranteed!
Austin, Chance, and Tim have active solo TH-cam channels. Watch Adam Rudd's drum solo video. Also when listening to Home Free or any of their members, a good set of stereo headphones or ear buds is a must.
You liked that, you'll love this.... "Blackbird" by Geoff Castelucci.... Of voice play.... He becomes his own accapella group, using all of his 5 octave (I think) range....
Gabbsi, I guess you had not yet realized, Tim Foust who is the magnificent Bass of Home Free, has roughly a 5 plus octave range, Avi is equally talented.
If you think Tim's range is incredible you MUST listen to Home Free's cover of Mayday by CAM for the FULL experience!! Not what you're going to expect!
Great fun! To complete the triumvirate of bass, check out Geoff Castelucci. He is part of the group Voiceplay. The 4 I would recommend to start with (any order) are: Blackbird (Geoff) Sixteen Tons (Geoff) Oogie Boogie song (Voiceplay with Geoff lead vocals) Little Mermaid medley (shows off the whole of Voiceplay)
This is so good. Avi sounds great. That last note was Tim. A G#1 I think. He held it for at least 10 seconds? Tim has a 5 octave range so he can sing tenor and bass and all in between. Adam, the beatboxer, was amazing. It was fun collab. Keep listening. Home Free is amazing. Try Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art to hear more great harmonies. I would suggest trying earphones/headphones to hear them better, unless you had them - I couldn’t see with your long hair.
Tim has been coaching Avi on making his voice deeper. They have been friends for a while. Tim is a basso profundo with a 5 octave vocal range. Watch out, you are falling further down the Home Free rabbit hole! Give a listen to Folsom Prison Blues to hear Tim go deeper. You really do need headphones to really hear the vocals.
I think you should check out How Great Thou Art. That would give you an idea of them without a beat. Or check out Peter Hollins featuring Home Free singing Amazing Grace.
Home Free is amazing. Every single one of them is super talented. If you are blown away by Tim's bass voice, you should listen to Geoff Castellucci - 16 Tons. It will really blow your mind to hear him sing in 5 different octaves.
Tim has a 5 octave range. It is easier for a bass singer to go higher than it is for a tenor singer to go lower. Another good song to react to is Just Sing by Voiceplay. Many good singers including Tim making an appearance.
There are many more excellent HF performances available...and they continue making more! One of their very best is "Mayday", HOWEVER, save it until you have 5 or 6 of their newer songs under your belt. In order to get maximum enjoyment out of "Mayday", you need to be familiar with all the guys and their voices. You saw Chance in "Man of Constant Sorrow", but you didn't get to hear him solo. He joined HF in 2016 (replacing Chris Rupp) and was not a member at the time they recorded "Ring of Fire." He's featured in more and more of their newer songs -- try "The Gambler," "Some Girls Do," or "American Pie."
Great Reaction as Usual!!!! If you want to hear Tim sing higher, Please react to "Mayday" by Cam!!! Tim Has Such a Gorgeous Voice Range!!!! And to hear Tim in his Lower Range, you should check out Home Free's cover "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash, & the cover of "Misty Mountains" by Peter Hollens ft. Tim Foust!!!!
Avi has super full sounds. Can't explain it properly but ill try. It's similar to a Soprano vocalizing a powerful 5th octave chest belt. The belt is full and round. As the soprano goes higher the note thins out. The whistle is the extreme of thinning into inaudible none existence. Avi has some thiccc vocal cords that make notes sound deeper than they are. My attempt at explaining actually requires its own explaining. I feel like a dog chasing a tail, that obnoxious tail it's always one step ahead of me...oh that's my tail.
Gabbsi All Aca Pella groups such as Home Free and Pentatonix plus one that you need to react, Voiceplay are good friends with each other and friendly competition. Speaking of Voiceplay, their main bass singer, Geoff Castellucci has his own TH-cam channel. Geoff's vocal range is from 4 to 5 Octaves with subharmonics such as E1. Tim and Avi has same subharmonic levels as Geoff. Geoff does how to do series such as how to sing subharmonic without damaging vocal chords. He does covers too with Voiceplay or solo.
Tim and his 5+ octave range does it again!
Tim & Avi are very good friends, which is what led to this collaboration.

@@gailseatonhumbert9199 Thanks for letting me know. I'll be looking forward to watching that.
I absolutely love Avi's current solo material.
Fun fact that cowboy hat was sold in a charity auction and they got 1000 dollars for it
His deep, deep voice drops off the edge of the world!!
You're right, Avi's smoothness is special. Like warm chocolate. Tim goes a bit lower but it's more gravel and a lot of breath to it. Avi's is clean and clear.
Adam, Home Free's beatboxer...pulled that reggae beat out and it totally transforms the song.
Avi melts your heard and Tim melts your mind :)
"it's crazy that Tim can sing up there and hit the lows..." Maybe check out Folsom Prison Blues and/or the Sea Shanty Medley than watch Mayday. You need to hear Chance sing some before hitting up Mayday but it will blow your mind.
Agreed, Mayday is a great one to watch after you're comfortable with their "normal" ranges and really shows off how flexible their ranges really are!
Tim demonstrates his really high voice well in Mayday..
..
Yes he does, but she needs to listen to more HF before reacting to that one to get a full appreciation for the surprise.
Home Free made this arrangement back during the sing off and Tim’s last note was so low, it shook the floor and everyone there was shocked. If you search up that version you will be understand.
th-cam.com/video/eYELP1qwFA8/w-d-xo.html
Want more bass?
React to: Voiceplay - Oogie Boogie's Song.
this is a must!!!
Geoff of Voiceplay has his own channel where he sings a bunch of songs (bass cover) like: "The Headless Horseman", "16 Tons", "Blackbird", "The Bare Necessaries", and "Take Me Home Country Road". Voiceplay has a cover of "Carry on Wayward Son" and "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch" that is so amazing that you should really check out.
was just about to type that then i saw your comment....
Yea, you need to add VoicePlay to your acapella group list!
Especially their newest one- “my mother told me”
I love how you "melted" when Avi hit that low note. :) You and I are in total agreement with this song: the two awesome basses from my two favorite acapella groups in one song/video is a dream come true!!

Yes, that was Tim Foust at the end hitting that "LOW" Bass note and holding it out to close out the song!!!
They do another Johnny Cash cover called Folsom prison blues. Check it out.
I LOVE AVI KAPLAN👏❤
Change is on the Rise by Avi: one of his beautiful songs on his cd.
that last note, they call it the dragons breath
LOLOL...Tim’s AMAZING 5+ Vocal Range ....He’s quite unreal!!! He talks Bass Too !!! It’s not a forced bass!!!
Not only does he hit the note, he holds it to the end of the song...that kills me every time.
They are so good and look good too!!!😂😂😂
Great reaction Gabbsi...👍👍👍
Beautiful arrangement of this song! Tim Foust can sing in 5 octaves 😮 great reaction! I love Home Free😊
Gabbsi, wonderful reaction....you have a new subscriber!!!! Home Free has an AMAZING wide collection of all genres of music please explore it more, luv your vids
Their cover of Down to the Honkytonk is a fun one with some bass!
Yaaaas
Avi's solo career is great! I recommend Chance on the Rise.
Another great reaction! For more Pentatonix related stuff, you should check out Kevin Olusola’s cover/loop session of “Down”. Also, the PTX cover of “Shallow” is amazing.
I think you would also really enjoy them doing Helplessly Hoping.
I agree with all of your reaction. Not to take anything away from either Avi or Tim you should check out "Oogie Boogie" by Voice Play. Geoff (their bass) shows off his 5 octave range. Lots of fun. Also check out Tim's collaboration with Peter Hollens singing "Misty Mountains".
I was waiting for someone to mention Geoff. Because yes, Gabbsi there is one more long haired bass dude!
After watching this one, definitely need to watch Mayday by Home Free. Will be blown away by Tim's range.
Not yet, she really should get to know the group better, that would make it better for her.
Definitely not yet
that last note is tim's dragons breath :) if hes angry he can probly spew fire :P
Misty Mountains (Peter Hollins and Tim Foust). A must.
Of all the acpella bass singers only Tim can hold real long.
I believe Geoff Castellucci can also sing that low and sustain it. I love listening to Avi, Geoff and Tim though. Amazing singers all.
Also Auld Lang Syne. It left me speechless.
Avi is so velvety!
I love your reaction
You know that Avi now has his own songs....check out his solo "Change On The Rise" !!
How great thou art. Home Free. Even if you don't like gospel. DO IT!
For something truly epic.... Misty Mountains - Peter Hollens feat. Tim Foust

End of the road ...by Home free will totally freak you out
You want to be even more impressed with Tim Foust, listen to their cover of "Mayday". He opens by singing lead tenor.
They are really funny. You should watch All about that bass, Sold!, and The Butts remix they are so funny
Cool thing about Tim is that he can sing 5 octaves. But everyone is so super talented it's hard to not give them each the credit they're due.
Austin, Chance, and Tim have active solo TH-cam channels. Watch Adam Rudd's drum solo video. Also when listening to Home Free or any of their members, a good set of stereo headphones or ear buds is a must.
You liked that, you'll love this.... "Blackbird" by Geoff Castelucci.... Of voice play.... He becomes his own accapella group, using all of his 5 octave (I think) range....
You need to check out Adams beat box solo, recorded live. You really see how impressive he is.
Gabbsi, I guess you had not yet realized, Tim Foust who is the magnificent Bass of Home Free, has roughly a 5 plus octave range, Avi is equally talented.
You should really check out "Oogie Boogie song" by Voice Play the base is Geoff Castelluci who is just off the charts great.
I was gonna say the same thing!!!!
If you think Tim's range is incredible you MUST listen to Home Free's cover of Mayday by CAM for the FULL experience!! Not what you're going to expect!
Great fun! To complete the triumvirate of bass, check out Geoff Castelucci. He is part of the group Voiceplay. The 4 I would recommend to start with (any order) are:

You need to listen to Mayday it will blow your shocks off by Homefree
Want more of Tim's G1 low note? Check out "Misty Mountain" by Peter Hollens feat Tim Foust. He does it at the end of the song.
Please go back and watch their "Sing Off" performances!!! See where they got their big break!
Tim has a 5+ octave range. He sounds beautiful in all of it of course.
Always listen to Adam Rupp the Beatboxer in all songs he is Awesome the Best won two world Championships
If you like a capella with bass ... check out Voice Play with Oogie Boogie song
One word..... Mayday
Tim has been coaching Avi on making his voice deeper. They have been friends for a while. Tim is a basso profundo with a 5 octave vocal range. Watch out, you are falling further down the Home Free rabbit hole! Give a listen to Folsom Prison Blues to hear Tim go deeper. You really do need headphones to really hear the vocals.
Yes that is tim dropping to g1. He has been known to fry some speakers.
You want to hear Tim's full range you need to listen to homfree's cover of "Mayday"
Home Free has a beat boxer drum solo video that's pretty impressive.
I think you should check out How Great Thou Art. That would give you an idea of them without a beat. Or check out Peter Hollins featuring Home Free singing Amazing Grace.
Love your reactions! You must get some headphones.
Pentatonix - The Evolution of Ariana Grande
Home Free is amazing. Every single one of them is super talented. If you are blown away by Tim's bass voice, you should listen to Geoff Castellucci - 16 Tons. It will really blow your mind to hear him sing in 5 different octaves.
And all chest or head voice. That's the part that blows my mind. An F#1 chest... Bonkers.
Tim has a 5 octave range. It is easier for a bass singer to go higher than it is for a tenor singer to go lower. Another good song to react to is Just Sing by Voiceplay. Many good singers including Tim making an appearance.
Listen to Misty Mountains with Peter Holland featuring Tim Flush.
Peter Hollens & Tim Foust
Autocorrect can be a pain sometimes
You should do Mayday by them next !
She’s probably not ready yet, one or two more and it’ll hit harder
Tim did the last deep notes.
I would love to see you react to the butts remix. Great reaction.
Misty Mountains, Peter Hollens and Tim Foust
You just heard Tims outstanding range
Home Free- Cover me up. such a sweet song
There are many more excellent HF performances available...and they continue making more!

Gotta do "Misty Mountains" by Peter Hollens ft. Tim Foust.
Hey Sweetheart Tim Faust has a 5 Octave range and he is Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The next one should be Folsom Prison Blues.
More Home Free? Try Folsom Prison Blues, End of the road, Mayday.
Great Reaction as Usual!!!!
If you want to hear Tim sing higher, Please react to "Mayday" by Cam!!! Tim Has Such a Gorgeous Voice Range!!!! And to hear Tim in his Lower Range, you should check out Home Free's cover "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash, & the cover of "Misty Mountains" by Peter Hollens ft. Tim Foust!!!!
If you want to hear how low Tim can get watch “your man” live version from crazy life tour
Avi has super full sounds. Can't explain it properly but ill try.
It's similar to a Soprano vocalizing a powerful 5th octave chest belt. The belt is full and round. As the soprano goes higher the note thins out. The whistle is the extreme of thinning into inaudible none existence.
Avi has some thiccc vocal cords that make notes sound deeper than they are.
My attempt at explaining actually requires its own explaining.
I feel like a dog chasing a tail, that obnoxious tail it's always one step ahead of me...oh that's my tail.
