For one of the most amazing Covid/quarantine videos, you might want to watch a collab between Peter Hollens and Home Free doing a U2 cover "I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For". The thought of all the production work this would have taken absolutely boggles the mind.
Basically, they were putting out a video about every two weeks during quarantine. Chance convinced them to do sea shanties for this one. Tim (Captain Jack) was standing in boat in a neighbor's yard and afraid to move too much. Listen close in the last song, and you will hear castanets being done by Adam Rupp for the first time.
One of the most incredible and fun/happy a capella songs (which involves a surprising variety of people.. including Tim from Home Free) is an exciting VoicePlay video, JUST SING. You will probably be smiling through the whole thing!
Chance, the one who started the song, is a fan of sea shanties on TikTok and brought the idea of doing one to the boys. They weren’t so sure but said ok, let’s do it. It’s a big hit for them. They did it in a TikTok style. It was during Covid so they did it individually from their own homes. They were on the NBC show the Sing Off and won in 2013 the season after Pentatonix won. The judges would give them songs to do and challenge them to change it up plus they tour constantly so they have a theatrical background because of that. Plus Austin (in red here) has a theatrical background from college. He has his own channel and sings the beautiful song Bring Him Home from the play Les Miserables. They have also collaborated with stars such as Kenny Rogers, Don McLean, Alabama, Oak Ridge Boys and others so yeah they know a little bit of theatrics. Love this medley. They also have a wicked sense of humor.
They did this for a couple reasons. 1. Chance (the first to sing) loves sea shanties. 2. The Wellerman (the first song) was huge on TikTok. Almost anyone that sang and had TikTok did a version of it. 3. Home Free has been dedicated to putting out a video every two weeks, even during quarantine with their members scattered over three states. So, Chance convinced the others that they should do this. That's is the reason for it being shot in portrait mode and the little HF logo in the corner looking like the TikTok logo. With them doing a video every 2 weeks, there are quite a few "Quarantine" videos and they are all very creative. Like I said, the guys are spread over three states (Minnesota, California and Tennessee) so to keep putting out music they all learned to to video work and they set up equipment in their homes to be able to do studio recording remotely. So their "Quarantine" videos are all very creative and fun to watch. I think the funniest has to be their song "Quarantine". Gave us all something to laugh about.
Yes, Chance grew up close to the coast and loves she shantys. During an interview he actually mentioned that Austin brought the popularity of Sea Shantys to their attention and then he took and did that fabulous medley.
As far as I believe this was done during quarantine. Sea shanty theme, especially the Wellerman, was a big thing on TikTok. Home Free are great. Another great (and so cleverly edited) quarantine one by them is Meet in the Middle. And while on the pirate theme I'd recommend Voiceplay with Hoist the Colours, it blows my mind!
Yes, Meet in the Middle is the best editing you'll ever see during quarantine. Down to the Honkytonk is another great quarantine song. They definitely kept us entertained during that awful time.
I'm very slowly and begrudgingly starting to like their country vibe. I've never liked that genre, but they're a fantastic group, and I appreciate their talent. I only know Austin and.... I swear I know the bass's name 🙄 I can't think of it. Lol, I actually have really liked the quarantine content from both PTX and these guys. It's very creative.
I never listen to country music but if Home Free puts out a song I always love it. They are my only country group I listen to. And their covers of country songs are basically Home Free originals because I never heard the original.
@sara beth The bass is Tim. Go ahead and embrace the vibe. Come on down the rabbit hole and join the rest of the Home Fries. :) I swear they could sing Webster's Dictionary and make it sound good.
Adam Chance has done a full version of the Wellermen (the first song) with the Hound and the Fox, as well as a really scary version of the old Viking song My Mother Told Me and a really powerful version of the Johnny Cash song Hurt. The Hound and the Fox are also the video production company Fifgen, who made a lot of Home Free's videos, and appeared in them too (the young couple in Thinking Out Loud). Did you hear Adam making the sound of the sea? As well as laying down the beat and the sound of castanets - all at the same time. You asked why they did the sea shanties. Well, why not?? They do just about everything else..
The also did a fun cover of Never Going to Give You Up last year at this time where they did an April Fools sort of lead up where they Rickrolled with a number of other covers. It was done in the same style where they each shot their own part separately due to Covid.
OMG... if you like theatrical, you need to further explore Voice Play! They are the third leg of the world class acapella groups (with Home Free and PTX), and often do Disney medley and songs. Sometimes in full costume and makeup. Of course, they do a lot of other stuff, too. But they kind of 'own' Disney. They did We Don't Talk About Bruno (from Encanto) and it was incredible! Other favorites are Warriors, Hoist the Colors, Little Mermaid Medley, My Mother Told Me, Bang, Carry On Wayward Son, Tennessee Whiskey, and many more...
If you want more of Tim Foust’s deep voice you should check out Misty Mountains with Peter Hollens feat. Tim Foust. If you are looking for something in a different genre and is epic you should check out Sabaton’s Bismarck (the video is too good).
No, that’s just Tim’s beautiful bass vibrating your headphones. Check out “22 times Tim Foust went sub woofer mode”, if you haven’t already. New sub here. I like how you react, unique & respectful.
That's Country Fried Pop Medley. You may be thinking of VoicePlay's The Chicken Song which is well worth a look see. In fact I think I'l do just that before I leave this morning.
Yes this was done during quarantine. Adam Chance ( the first singer ) loved these old sea shanties and brought the idea of singing them to the rest of Home Free. These are older songs that sailors would sing to pass the time away at sea. The rest of Home Free was Luke warm about doing this but Chance convinced them to do it. I am glad they did, the last I looked they had over 9 million views on this. To help you to get to know them. 1st singer Adam Chance baritone goes by Chance to avoid confusion. 2n singer with the full beard is tenor Rob Lundquist. Tim Foust bass was wearing the full pirate costume. Austin Brown tenor was wearing the red outfit. Adam Rupp vocal percussionist extraordinaire was wearing the off white top. I really enjoyed your reaction you have a great day
Home Free really is that great. All amazing voices with their own specialties, great harmonies, deep bass and the inhuman mouth artist Adam Rupp. No Egos, no rivalries, beautiful personalities. It doesn't matter what song, what genre, Home Free will make something of it. All different voices, but still one Good choice of Chance to do this in Covid time 🧏♀️
I have to admit that when they first released this, I was apprehensive. This is coming from a die hard "home fry", but as soon as they opened their mouths, I completely got it! You'd think I'd learned years ago to never question Home Free's decisions. I never do now. Even if I don't love the song, I normally love their take on it. Love these guys and love your reactions. Thanks!
Just subbed. Home Free fans are super loyal and we follow the reactors! You will see more and more subs as you continue doing Home Free. They started putting out tons of videos from early in COVID. Start with some of the early ones, their Quarantine video, Meet in the Middle, Sunday Best, Flowers on the Wall. They were awesome and editing was crazy good especially with Meet in the Middle. Watch them for their fun humor in a more recent one Wprkin' for a Living. Butts Remix (medley/masup) and Country Fried Pop Medley is 17 songs from 15 artists that high tenor Austin mashed together! Crazy good. And Chance, baritone who started the Sea Shanty one and you liked his voice you said, he has a couple I love, upbeat and fun Some Girls Do and a tear-jerker one but incredible, Can't Outrun You. So many great ones. Recent one Unchained Melody is wow and a deep message with deep bass solo and incredible harmonies is Brothers in Arms. So many to mention and so many we love. We'll be with you on this journey! Take care.
This was done during the "lockdown". They gave us new videos every two weeks until they went back on the road; so, yes, they're all at different places. These sea shanty songs are old "folk songs" of the crews who worked on merchant ships. I had only heard a couple of them until Home Free did this & I love it. Adam Rupp, the beat boxer/vocal percussionist/& any instruments he wants to imitate, did the castanets in part of this. These guys are incredible. Austin Brown, the high tenor, in the red costume has a degree in musical theater. They've all had formal musical training. In my opinion, the other groups are talented but there's just something special about everything Home Free does. I love your reactions to them so I hope you'll react to them more since their rabbit hole is deep & they still put out new videos about every two weeks!😊
Home Free did a mashup of Let's Get It On and Thinking Out Loud which is a one take shot of the entire video. Tim thought it would be funny since the Marvin Gaye estate sued Ed Sheeran for the similarities between the songs. The actors that portray the couple in the video are another group, The Hound and The Fox. Chance, Tim and Rob have done multiple collaborations with them.
In fact Adam Chance joined The Hound + The Fox for Soon May the Wellerman Come which is the opening song for this medley. You can also see the couple (and their wee one) in Home Free's Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer. That one showcases their funny side but the music never suffers for it.
I question that because the lawsuit was filed in 2016 and Home Free recorded that combo and posted on YT in early 2015. Of course, I'm sure there was talk about the similarities noticed by anyone with a good ear. (Thinking Out Loud released 2014)
Oh almost forgot to mention. They do medleys - the Butts Remix, Country Fried Pop, Fishin' in the Dark/Boondocks, Seven Bridges Road, Wagon Wheel/Song of the South just to name a few. Of the guys, all have had musical training of some type. In this song you can pick up a little of Rob's (beard and glasses) operatic abilities. Beatboxer Adam studied music in college, trumpet specifically (which makes sense now) Austin (red shirt/high tenor) has musical theater training and sang at Disneyland for a while in one the musical productions at the park. Tim has vocal training, had been in about three or four acapella groups in the past plus wrote and still writes music. And Chance also has vocal training. If you like Chance's voice, you should listen to "Yours" or "Cover Me Up". On a whole, Home Free is not as theatrical as Voiceplay but when they do a video with a theme ("Workin' For Livin'" has an Anchorman theme and "This is How We Roll" has a Big Lebowski theme) they pay a lot of attention to the details so that on rewatch, you spot more things than the first time or the 5th time.
So, so versatile. I can't think of a genre they can't perform and do beautifully. The harmonies are always so stinking good, we almost take them for granted. Tim's bass just anchors everything and embellishes so well. Adam's percussion is just nuts in this, picking up the tempo with each song change driving things with authority. Did you catch Adam's castanets and wave sounds? Pretty cool.
If you want to learn a little bit more of their background, I suggest you watch their performances on The Sing Off season 4 (like you're doing with PTX). Watch each performance separately so you can hear their backstories and what the judges have to say. They won that season, and that's when they became "popular", just like PTX. BTW, Chance, the guy you said you like his voice, was not with the band at that time. Chris Rupp, Adam Rupp's (the beatboxer's) brother was with them at that time. They are the founders of the band. That season was shorter than PTX's season, so you'll get through it in no time. It's interesting to watch, just to hear their backstory. Love your reactions!
Chance was in Street Corner Symphony, from another season of The Sing Off. Check out the SCS album Southern Autumn Nostalgia - all originals, all a cappella. Dragon Rider is RIDICULOUS.
@@SalvoG Nice! Love watching the introduction to PTX. Will love to watch the intro to Home Free as well. All fans should watch their start IMO. Get's to really know the bands. Thanks for being a reactor that actually does this. It's fun to watch them grow, and it's fun to watch a reactor watch how they grow! ;)
How good are these guys? The fun & energy in this is infectious. This was done during quarantine so none of the guys were even together. The editing of this was great & was done in the Tik Tok style. Love all the guys parts, with Tim's rumbling bass underlying it all. And Adam's beatboxing is phenomenal as always including castanets. Amazing how he increased the tempo from one song to another.
i have been in music in one way or another all my life and what I can tell you is that these guys are all individually talented. I first came across them when they were performing on The Sing Off, which they won handily. They aren't new to the industry and all have honed their skills in many different ways. I encourage you to do a little more research. As a lover of great music, no matter how new or old, it seems to me that you struggle with Home Free because it tears you away from your favorite A Capella group Pentatonix. As we all know, Avi left them to pursue a solo career at which he is doing quite well. Personally, Pentatonix doesn't show the range nor the chops that Home Free does. Even Adam Rupp, the Beat boxer for Home Free is world class compared to any other groups percussion ability. There is no song of Home Free that is a "bad" listen. They do covers 99% of the time, with other artists and on their own. They simply do it better than any other group without question. I will continue to watch your knowledge grow and reactions of them and their music. Enjoy!
Home Free are so versatile doing all genre's! They also have many originals! Please check out "BRING HIM HOME" BY AUSTIN BROWN From the Broadway musical and later the movie LES MISERABLE'S. Also - "CAN'T STOP THE FEELING" cover of Justin Timberlake from the movie Troll's "TRY EVERYTHING" cover of Shakira from the movie Zootopia Some originals are By Tim Foust the deep bass singer (these are just a few originals from Tim) ⭐CHAMPAGNE TASTE ON A BEER BUD ⭐I'VE SEEN ⭐THE BEST THAT I COULD DO (this is the title track of his first solo album) ⭐WITHOUT YOU ⭐YOUR SO YESTERDAY Austin- (Just a few of Austins originals) ⭐IF I MET YOU NOW (my favorite) ⭐REST OF MY LIFE ⭐TAKE THE NIGHT OFF ⭐EARN IT ⭐REAL TALK Thank you very much ❤️!
@@louisetemples7011 Did Austin write/co-write Good Ol’ Boy Good Time? And did Tim or Austin write Good Old Country Harmonies? I’ve been trying to find it on here, but I’m not having any luck. Thank you.
@@hellefur6631 Thank you for your reply! I thought I had read that but couldn’t for the life of me remember where. Then after searching (for about six months) and couldn’t find it again, I thought maybe I’d mixed up the titles with other songs that they did write. So thank you very much.
I have to say that for every cover I have seen Home Free do, I now prefer the Home Free version. Personal favourites: Can't Stop the Feeling, Mayday, Friends in Low Places, Try Everything, so many more.... Collabs like Elvira, American Pie. These guys are amazing.
Thanks for the Home Free reaction. If you would like to hear more from Adam Chance (the singer beating the guitar) then give a listen to Cover Me Up, Some Girls Do, Can't Outrun You, American Pie and Working For A Living. Cheers!
I would LOVE to hear Home Free do an entire version of Santiago.I loved the progression of the songs, the beat boxing/castanets made you forget this was all done with their voices, and of course their talent/harmonies are PERFECT. Nice reaction! Butts Remix is a good one to watch, not only is perfect vocals, but HILARIOUS.
You should react to their cover song, Cover Me Up. Chance does the solo lead and it really shows off his voice. There is a surprise after end of the song so don't stop it until the video ends.
Wonderful reaction, please check out 'I can't Outrun You' for more of Chance's beautiful and smooth vocals. Based on this video, can you guess which one took Music Theater in college?
Chance pushed for this video. He did the full version of the Wellerman on his pals', The Hound and The Fox channel. This is one of about a dozen videos that they filmed at home.
I would love an album of sea chanties and/or folk songs from the Home Free men. Also, I WANT A QUARANTINE ALBUM! I don't care if the songs are available other places. The pandemic was a once-in-a-century event. It was felt by everybody to some extent. Home Free kept a lot of us going with their music from quarantine. It kept me going after I got off the ventilator and out of ICU.
Austin studied musical theater, so he brings that vibe with him, but the others are great performers, too. They all have a great sense of humor. If you like Doo Wop style music, check out Blue Ain't Your Color and Tim's solo project, which includes a mashup of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. Austin also has a solo channel where you can heare songs like Danny Boy, Bring Him Home, and At Last.
Great medley. Yeah, HF likes to have fun, which makes them all the more fun to watch. Their harmonization is always spot on whether they're being a bit goofy or doing a more serious take. I love their sound and look forward to more HF reactions. :)
Would love to see a reaction to their original song “Quarantine” which they did at the beginning of all this mess. Yes its slower but it shows so much of their personalities
If you want theatrical, react to another great a cappella band, Voice Play. A cappella fans are supportive of all of these bands. However beware of the 1% who feel they need to tear down other bands to support their favorite. These bands are all great in their own way, so it’s a matter of personal preference.
I don't know about the other members, but Austin came to the group just after finishing up with a stint with Disney in musical theater (according to the Home Free History).
There is also "When a Man Loves a Woman", duets between Austin Brown & Tim Foust, and one with Home Free and Peter Hollens "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".
Sea shanties are a type of collective folk song, typically performed on ships by fishermen, merchant sailors or whalers. They were sung not to celebrate a return home, or to chant down the pub, but to accompany the heavy, repetitive tasks of sail-hoisting and deck-scrubbing. Shanties were ‘work songs’, in essence, whose steady beat helped unite a shipload of sailors in one rhythm, making lighter work of arduous chores.
Love that Rob was in his Minnesota check flannel! Lol. I lived in MN for a few years, dad from there. I’m from the U.P. Of Michigan ( yooper); had to come home. MN was too hot! Love. I’m a home fry.
This one makes me laugh every time, I just can't stop wondering what the neighbors thought of seeing Tim in full Jack Sparrow garb just standing in a boat. lol
These guys are from the Minneapolis MN surrounding towns! My daughter heard them when she was in 0th grade in Park Rapids Minnesota. She is now 25 and she absolutely loves their music! They were on a singing show contest and they won by a landslide!! Awesome guys!!
Watch and enjoy. Lots of great sea shanties and very well done too. I am so thrilled that you are getting I to Home Free as I am a Home Fry fir sure. There's another A Capella group that is all women that are incredible too. Citizen Queen's version if Never Enough will blow your mind. They are the opening act for Pentatonix this tour.
I happened upon a video, sort of behind the scenes kind of thing, where we got to see inside of Austin and Tim's closets. They both apparently love to play dress up when it comes to making these videos. I also loved the "Honesty" parody they did during quarantine. It is called Quarantine. Very cute.
For one of the most amazing Covid/quarantine videos, you might want to watch a collab between Peter Hollens and Home Free doing a U2 cover "I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For". The thought of all the production work this would have taken absolutely boggles the mind.
Home Free gave their fans so many great videos during quarenteen. Love them so much.
thry did it cuz fans are bringing their children to their show- AND ITS FUN FOR ALL !!!!
Love their Hunter Hayes Medley.
Basically, they were putting out a video about every two weeks during quarantine. Chance convinced them to do sea shanties for this one.
Tim (Captain Jack) was standing in boat in a neighbor's yard and afraid to move too much.
Listen close in the last song, and you will hear castanets being done by Adam Rupp for the first time.

Yes, Chance grew up close to the coast and loves she shantys. During an interview he actually mentioned that Austin brought the popularity of Sea Shantys to their attention and then he took and did that fabulous medley.
This was done in and around their homes during the Covid lockdown. Others are "Down to the Honkytonk", "Quarantine" and "Sunday Best".
Blue Ain’t Your Color, quite good. Folsom Prison Blues too. Scottish singer, Nathan Evan’s started the TikTok craze in 2020.
As far as I believe this was done during quarantine. Sea shanty theme, especially the Wellerman, was a big thing on TikTok. Home Free are great. Another great (and so cleverly edited) quarantine one by them is Meet in the Middle. And while on the pirate theme I'd recommend Voiceplay with Hoist the Colours, it blows my mind!

@@audreyf5614 so true!
Austin Brown trained in musical theater. This video was done during quarantine. CK out the Butts Medley a fun video. Also Hillbilly Bone
One of there quarantine videos that I really like is "Meet Me in the Middle" the camera work is amazing
Austin Loves All Medleys
A bunch of these sea shanties were also featured in Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag
I'm very slowly and begrudgingly starting to like their country vibe. I've never liked that genre, but they're a fantastic group, and I appreciate their talent. I only know Austin and.... I swear I know the bass's name 🙄 I can't think of it.

Do you think it is how they were trained?
Have you watched "The Butts Medley"?
Another great Covid video is "Meet in the Middle" - amazing editing when using their cell phones!
There melody. COUNTRY FRIED POP MELODY. HUNTER HAYES MELODY. BUTTS MELODY
Try an older medley before Chance joined the group Chicken Fried Pop Medley and of course the Butts Medley.
That's Country Fried Pop Medley. You may be thinking of VoicePlay's The Chicken Song which is well worth a look see. In fact I think I'l do just that before I leave this morning.
Another really good older one would be their Hunter Hayes Medley! ❤

Of the guys, all have had musical training of some type. In this song you can pick up a little of Rob's (beard and glasses) operatic abilities. Beatboxer Adam studied music in college, trumpet specifically (which makes sense now) Austin (red shirt/high tenor) has musical theater training and sang at Disneyland for a while in one the musical productions at the park. Tim has vocal training, had been in about three or four acapella groups in the past plus wrote and still writes music. And Chance also has vocal training. If you like Chance's voice, you should listen to "Yours" or "Cover Me Up". On a whole, Home Free is not as theatrical as Voiceplay but when they do a video with a theme ("Workin' For Livin'" has an Anchorman theme and "This is How We Roll" has a Big Lebowski theme) they pay a lot of attention to the details so that on rewatch, you spot more things than the first time or the 5th time.
Disney World, and it makes a differnce
@@miamidolphinsfan Sorry my mistake. I always get them confused.
FYI Austin sang with the Voices of Liberty group at Disney World. 😊
So, so versatile. I can't think of a genre they can't perform and do beautifully. The harmonies are always so stinking good, we almost take them for granted. Tim's bass just anchors everything and embellishes so well. Adam's percussion is just nuts in this, picking up the tempo with each song change driving things with authority. Did you catch Adam's castanets and wave sounds? Pretty cool.
If you want to learn a little bit more of their background, I suggest you watch their performances on The Sing Off season 4 (like you're doing with PTX). Watch each performance separately so you can hear their backstories and what the judges have to say. They won that season, and that's when they became "popular", just like PTX. BTW, Chance, the guy you said you like his voice, was not with the band at that time. Chris Rupp, Adam Rupp's (the beatboxer's) brother was with them at that time. They are the founders of the band. That season was shorter than PTX's season, so you'll get through it in no time. It's interesting to watch, just to hear their backstory. Love your reactions!
Chance was in Street Corner Symphony, from another season of The Sing Off. Check out the SCS album Southern Autumn Nostalgia - all originals, all a cappella. Dragon Rider is RIDICULOUS.
I think I will start their sing off after PTX
@@SalvoG Nice! Love watching the introduction to PTX. Will love to watch the intro to Home Free as well. All fans should watch their start IMO. Get's to really know the bands. Thanks for being a reactor that actually does this. It's fun to watch them grow, and it's fun to watch a reactor watch how they grow! ;)
How good are these guys? The fun & energy in this is infectious. This was done during quarantine so none of the guys were even together. The editing of this was great & was done in the Tik Tok style. Love all the guys parts, with Tim's rumbling bass underlying it all. And Adam's beatboxing is phenomenal as always including castanets. Amazing how he increased the tempo from one song to another.
SO GOOD
Those castanets are amazing!!!
i have been in music in one way or another all my life and what I can tell you is that these guys are all individually talented. I first came across them when they were performing on The Sing Off, which they won handily. They aren't new to the industry and all have honed their skills in many different ways. I encourage you to do a little more research. As a lover of great music, no matter how new or old, it seems to me that you struggle with Home Free because it tears you away from your favorite A Capella group Pentatonix. As we all know, Avi left them to pursue a solo career at which he is doing quite well. Personally, Pentatonix doesn't show the range nor the chops that Home Free does. Even Adam Rupp, the Beat boxer for Home Free is world class compared to any other groups percussion ability. There is no song of Home Free that is a "bad" listen. They do covers 99% of the time, with other artists and on their own. They simply do it better than any other group without question. I will continue to watch your knowledge grow and reactions of them and their music. Enjoy!
Home Free are so versatile doing all genre's! They also have many originals! Please check out "BRING HIM HOME" BY AUSTIN BROWN From the Broadway musical and later the movie LES MISERABLE'S.
Also -
"CAN'T STOP THE FEELING" cover of Justin Timberlake from the movie Troll's
"TRY EVERYTHING" cover of Shakira from the movie Zootopia

@@louisetemples7011 Did Austin write/co-write Good Ol’ Boy Good Time? And did Tim or Austin write Good Old Country Harmonies? I’ve been trying to find it on here, but I’m not having any luck. Thank you.
@@pattywilson1534 yes, Austin co-wrote it with Mark Nesler and Jim McCormick.
And yes, Tim wrote Good ol' country harmony.
@@hellefur6631 Thank you for your reply! I thought I had read that but couldn’t for the life of me remember where. Then after searching (for about six months) and couldn’t find it again, I thought maybe I’d mixed up the titles with other songs that they did write. So thank you very much.
@@pattywilson1534 you'r welcome.
Next time you'r on a search, write the songs titel, and end it with songwriter.
Often you can find it that way.
I agree, I loved the last song the best although it was all great. Didn’t expect anything less though !
I have to say that for every cover I have seen Home Free do, I now prefer the Home Free version. Personal favourites: Can't Stop the Feeling, Mayday, Friends in Low Places, Try Everything, so many more.... Collabs like Elvira, American Pie. These guys are amazing.
That vibrating is because of Tim, the bass
Thanks for the Home Free reaction. If you would like to hear more from Adam Chance (the singer beating the guitar) then give a listen to Cover Me Up, Some Girls Do, Can't Outrun You, American Pie and Working For A Living. Cheers!
I love this, especially Adam's 'castanets'!
I would LOVE to hear Home Free do an entire version of Santiago.I loved the progression of the songs, the beat boxing/castanets made you forget this was all done with their voices, and of course their talent/harmonies are PERFECT. Nice reaction! Butts Remix is a good one to watch, not only is perfect vocals, but HILARIOUS.
A couple medleys they have done that are great and shows more of their awesome talent is The Butts remix Medley and Chicken Fried Pop Medley.
FYI these guys are frigging hilarious.
You should react to their cover song, Cover Me Up. Chance does the solo lead and it really shows off his voice. There is a surprise after end of the song so don't stop it until the video ends.
Sea shanties weren't just entertaining, but sailers also used the beat when they did chores or had to work in rhythm with each other.
Love these guys. They just have so much fun❤️
Chance loves the sea shanty songs. That is why they did this one
Wonderful reaction, please check out 'I can't Outrun You' for more of Chance's beautiful and smooth vocals. Based on this video, can you guess which one took Music Theater in college?
Chance pushed for this video. He did the full version of the Wellerman on his pals', The Hound and The Fox channel. This is one of about a dozen videos that they filmed at home.
Love watching your reaction!! You will like "Mayday", "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Everybody Walkin This Land"
I would love an album of sea chanties and/or folk songs from the Home Free men. Also, I WANT A QUARANTINE ALBUM! I don't care if the songs are available other places. The pandemic was a once-in-a-century event. It was felt by everybody to some extent. Home Free kept a lot of us going with their music from quarantine. It kept me going after I got off the ventilator and out of ICU.
Tim creates the vibrations. Notice when Adam makes castanet sounds.
Voice Play (a cappella) does a song from Johnny Depp movie, Hoist The Colours.
Austin studied musical theater, so he brings that vibe with him, but the others are great performers, too. They all have a great sense of humor. If you like Doo Wop style music, check out Blue Ain't Your Color and Tim's solo project, which includes a mashup of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. Austin also has a solo channel where you can heare songs like Danny Boy, Bring Him Home, and At Last.
Combination of their voices.
That's Tim's deep voice and you should hear it through subwoofers, it rattles the whole concert floor.
I would like to see your reaction to one of Adam Rupp's drum solos!!
Austin loves medleys of any genre.
Another banger Home Free!! Please continue to react to more of my favs!
Did you notice the castanet sounds? That was Adam Rupp, the beatboxer.
Great medley. Yeah, HF likes to have fun, which makes them all the more fun to watch. Their harmonization is always spot on whether they're being a bit goofy or doing a more serious take. I love their sound and look forward to more HF reactions. :)
Would love to see a reaction to their original song “Quarantine” which they did at the beginning of all this mess. Yes its slower but it shows so much of their personalities
Butts Remix is a phenomenal mash-up.
If you want theatrical, react to another great a cappella band, Voice Play. A cappella fans are supportive of all of these bands. However beware of the 1% who feel they need to tear down other bands to support their favorite. These bands are all great in their own way, so it’s a matter of personal preference.
One Great medley … “THE BUTS REMIX MEDELY”…..is a real trip….‼️‼️‼️😵💫‼️‼️‼️. It’s a real hoot…guaranteed ‼️
Adam’s beatboxing is awesome and Chance looks too cool for school with his red beanie hat.
oops....sorry....thx
They have a Butt's Medley that's funny. Adam Rumpp, the beat boxer, has a couple Drum Solo's. They are great.
I don't know about the other members, but Austin came to the group just after finishing up with a stint with Disney in musical theater (according to the Home Free History).
There is also "When a Man Loves a Woman", duets between Austin Brown & Tim Foust, and one with Home Free and Peter Hollens "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".
Folsom Prison Blues should be locked and loaded, too. And yes, I'm watching your full HF Playlist and commenting on every damn one haha
Sea shanties are a type of collective folk song, typically performed on ships by fishermen, merchant sailors or whalers.
They were sung not to celebrate a return home, or to chant down the pub, but to accompany the heavy, repetitive tasks of sail-hoisting and deck-scrubbing.
Shanties were ‘work songs’, in essence, whose steady beat helped unite a shipload of sailors in one rhythm, making lighter work of arduous chores.
Love that Rob was in his Minnesota check flannel! Lol. I lived in MN for a few years, dad from there. I’m from the U.P. Of Michigan ( yooper); had to come home. MN was too hot! Love. I’m a home fry.
The Wellerman was the man who worked for the Weller company, an Australian shipping company that supplied whalers in New Zealand.
This one makes me laugh every time, I just can't stop wondering what the neighbors thought of seeing Tim in full Jack Sparrow garb just standing in a boat. lol
For more of Chance lsten to Helplessly Hoping & working for a living. All 5 boys are amazingly talented 👌
These guys are from the Minneapolis MN surrounding towns! My daughter heard them when she was in 0th grade in Park Rapids Minnesota. She is now 25 and she absolutely loves their music! They were on a singing show contest and they won by a landslide!! Awesome guys!!
Watch and enjoy. Lots of great sea shanties and very well done too. I am so thrilled that you are getting I to Home Free as I am a Home Fry fir sure. There's another A Capella group that is all women that are incredible too. Citizen Queen's version if Never Enough will blow your mind. They are the opening act for Pentatonix this tour.
Since I’m late to the party, I’m sure someone has mentioned that they won the Sing Off the year after PTX, 2012 I believe, and are fans of each other…
I happened upon a video, sort of behind the scenes kind of thing, where we got to see inside of Austin and Tim's closets. They both apparently love to play dress up when it comes to making these videos. I also loved the "Honesty" parody they did during quarantine. It is called Quarantine. Very cute.
react to their boys to men..end of the road....simply amazing
Please react to Mayday and Can't Stop the Feeling by Home Free. I think you will really enjoy it.
The Butts Medley, Country Fried Pop Medley are two that come to my mind
Funny, we always sang sea shanties at summer camp, so when I hear Drunken Sailor I’m right back there.
You have to try Johnathan Edwards song called shanty
That be Tim the bass making that vibration. Yes this was during quarantine.
Don't know if you caught the castinets that the beatboxer was doing along w the beat on the last song.
I Love these guys they could sing a phone Book 🤯🤯🕳🐇
Fun fact it’s hard to see but Tim is actually standing on a boat! 😂 it’s not in the water but still!
butts medley…very comical!
They like to flex their vocal muscles
During quarantine and; video on their iPhones
