This was the BEST, most genuine, and most appreciative reaction to the absolute BEST vocal group that I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing. So it’s really great when I see someone who can appreciate them as much as I can. Because honestly I don’t think most people REALLY get it. These guys harmony is unmatched!
Adam Rupp also plays numerous instruments and can sing. And his beat boxing is above and beyond - he's world class. The power and fullness of their sounds are a tribute to what human voices can do. It's so moving and even when it makes you cry, it's inspiring and uplifting.
This is one of the best songs to get a picture of the whole group. Even Adam has a small solo and he doesn't like to sing very much, although he has a really nice voice.
These guys are so amazing. The first guy to start the song off was Chance. He has a 4 octave range, but mostly sings Bass/ Baritone. The second guy to chime in was Rob (the big guy with the full beard) He's their lead tenor, but has at least a 2 octave range. The third guy is Austin(tall skinny blone guy) who is their high tenor. Their beatboxer ( clean shaven guy), who is an incredible beatboxer, but also sings harmony on some songs like this. And last but far from least, is their outstanding bass guy with a 5+ octave range, Tim Foust. He's the long dark haired guy. He can go so deep to the point that it's almost inautoable, and then in one long cord soar into the high tenor range without blinking an eye. In dividually these guys are so talented in their own right, but together....they are absolutely too incredible for words. I hope you check out their version of 'How Great Thou Art'. Talk about heavenly.....just you wait. These guys will knock your socks off. But if you want to see the other side of Tim's outstanding vocal range, check out 'Mayday" Thanks, I hope we see you again real soon.
Cindy Flory I too am a big fan of theirs and please don't think that I'm trying to correct you but you left out the beatboxer's name which is, as you know I'm sure, Adam. Accidents happen. I just couldn't leave him out. Have a great day.
The second guy to sing was Austin the 1st tenor. Rob is first in the second verse when he and Austin sing a duet and Chance joins while Tim does the sustained base he talks about.
Cyndie Baird you need to rewatch it. Chance sings first, then Rob, Austin, a bit of Adam and we hear Tim as they forth voice to join, but he’s the last we really get to see.
I love Home Free and have been a fan for over 10 years. The guys are Adam; he's the only clean shaved guy. He and his brother founded the group. His brother is Chris, but Chris left the group for a solo career. Adam is the beat boxer. The first tenor is Austin. He has curly long hair and various lengths of beard. 2nd tenor is Rob. He has short hair, glasses, and a full beard. Baritone now is Adam Chance, but he's just called Chance as Adam beatboxer is the founder. The bass is Tim. He's has a wispy beard and long smooth hair. If you like this listen to All About The Bass.
This one really shows their "skills". Their harmony, the unison, the synchronization - just perfect! Those who have had any kind of music education, whether it be singing, band, piano, guitar, or any music lessons, can really "appreciate" this one. Know what I mean?!! ❤ Thx for doing this one! Loved your reaction! Btw: Adam is a freak of nature becuz he's like a human drum kit. He lays down some steady, very tasteful, & wicked percussion for the group. Between his percussion & Tim's bass (the rhythm section), is why they always sound so full & most people think there are instruments when in fact there are not. Besides being a great vocal percussionist, he's also an incredible beatboxer as well. He can do it all. Every one of them are musically trained. They didn't just come together & start singing. Each one is a great soloist, which as a group, makes them so good.
Adam Rupp - truly is a freak of nature! He has the most gorgeous singing voice (3+ octaves) and his beats are fantastic! He also arranges a lot of Home Free’s music, he writes songs and has a beatbox sound that incorporates his singing voice, which not a lot of beatboxers do! Check out some of the Home Free Live videos and you will understand why his fans call him that! So Adam Chance was the first singer and he’s our baritone. Then, Rob Lunquist with the beard. He’s our tenor. Then, Austin Brown,’with the longer hair and he’s our high tenor. Then, there’s Tim Foust. Hes got longer, dark hair and he’s our super bass! Then, Adam Rupp who is our beatboxer and has blonde hair!
YES, YES, YES, I want to hear more of how you enjoy Home Free!!! As a huge fan of theirs (we call ourselves Home Fries), I THOROUGHLY enjoyed watching you enjoy this song. As a music teacher, I'm with you in valuing their tight harmonies and the quality of their voices overall.
These guys are fantastic! Each member can sing different parts. Classically trained. Thank you! Yes, Time can sing 5 plus octaves. Adam is a National Champion beatboxer.
The first person to sing was Chance - baritone. The second was Rob - tenor. The third was Austin - high tenor. Then Tim and Adam joined in last. Tim is the bass singer and Adam is the beatboxer (he's the one that's clean shaven). Their new cover of Woman/Amen/Female is incredible.
1. Chance - Baritone (but often covers bass when Tim sings lead) 2. Rob - Low Tenor 3. Austin - High Tenor 4. Tim (Longer hair, short beard)- Bass 5. Adam (short hair, clean shaven) - Beatboxer You would love their version of Do You Hear What I Hear. The arrangement is insane! How Great Thou Art too.
You're in for an amazing ride, Frank! You've only experienced a sampling Home Free's impeccable musicianship and abundant talents. Many more HF delights out there for you! As a writer myself I appreciate great vocal writing (Darren Rust does a lot for them and is another talent worth enjoying). As someone who appreciates great vocal talents I've heard my own singing and realized I need to stick a trombone in my face and leave the singing to pros like these guys! My go-to Home Free tour-de-force is "Do You Hear What I Hear" which Adam Rupp arranged. It was filmed a few miles from my home in Eden Prairie in -20F weather. Welcome to the Home Free fold, Frank!
You just need to pick a song and go these five men are all freaks of nature ..Adam Rupp is a freak of nature that is what they call him.. he has awards for his beatboxing this man is so talented as are the rest.. you need to watch the beatboxer do his solo Oh my God the most impressive thing I've ever seen..
The first singer was Adam Chance, the second one with the glasses is Rob Lundquist, the third one is Austin Brown, the one with the long darker hair is Tim Foust the bassist, and the beat boxer is Adam Rupp.
Adam Chance first to sing is a baritone, Rob Lundquist with beard he is a tenor, Austin Brown is high tenor. Tim Foust is the bas and Adam Rupp the beatboxer is also a tenor
Yup.. for REAL! The talent these five men have is just mind boggling. Loved watching your reaction :-) If you ever get the chance, see them in person I have been four times, and am still stunned by the clarity and the sweet harmonies. Love Home Free.. more?!! Please!
Man of Constant Sorrow is one example of Adam Rupp's "freak of nature" talent. He mimics a harmonica so perfectly you wouldn't know it wasn't a harmonica if you closed your eyes.
It's just so much better with a headset, especially when they're high quality. Their band is awesome, everything's just so smooth ! I didn't know them so thank you !
Mark 8:52, that guy is Tim Faust the basso profundo. Another of them can do it too, but Tim is the prime one who holds the long notes. This group does a lot of comedic work but they are like velvet on the serious songs. This piece has been one of my faves since Crosby Stills and Nash did it back in the late 60's.
Peter Hollins is another wonderful singer and he has done some good collabs with Home Free. Check out the Misty Mountains song from the Hobbit movie on Peter Hollins channel featuring Tim Foust. Very good and really showcases Tim's awesome bass.
To hear Tim's vocal range, listen to "In the Blood" for his rich true bass, then listen too "Mayday", where he sings Tenor.. To hear Adams Beatboxing best (in my opinion) "Mayday" is very good then listen to "Woman Amen/Female" They all have extremely good voices and they are all featured as lead in different songs.
Adam Chance (baritone/bass) was the first singer. I would suggest you listen to "I Can't Outrun You" which he also directed. Rob was next (tenor) then Austin (high tenor). Tim Foust (super bass!) came in 4th, with Adam Rupp (beatboxer, but also a lovely singer). This one is pretty special - glad you enjoyed it. Tim actually arranged it!
You should check out Amazing Grace with Peter Hollens.... it is.. Amazing! also How Great Thou Art! Just go to their playlist... you won't be disappointed with whatever you pick! ;-) OH!! and Children Go Where I Send thee with Kenny Rogers and What Child is This with Chris Rupp... 6 voices!!
THIS list matches the arrangement from, Mayday. Up front from left to right Rob is the big guy with the beard he sings second tinner and falsetto, in the middle is Tim he's singing falsetto right now and he's the Bass, Austin sings first tenor, and also sings falsetto! Now the two in the back starting on the left, the beatboxer is Adam, he's magical. Next is Chris, who looks like Leonardo DiCaprio, he sings second Tenor, also Alto which is mid-range, and Baritone as you just heard!
I LOVED this reaction! I knew you would like this one after watching your last Home Free reaction. Which is why we recommend it 🙂. Adam Rupp is a freak of nature because he’s the best. He was voted the best beat boxer in the world by his peers (other beat boxers) a couple years ago and he has even gotten better in the last couple years! It’s amazing. 17 years of practice will help with that. Check out an “Adam Rupp beatbox solo” sometime. Preferably a more recent one, but any will do.
hello coach first thanks so much for reacting to this one. Secondly hang on to your socks,pants,shirt,maybe your hair too because you haven't heard anything yet. They have been around for years. If you love harmonies how great thou art,seven bridges road,story of my life. I know all the Home free fans,we're called home fries, would love and truely appreciate it. God bless and hope you have a great day.
Please compare and contrast with CSN on same song. On the Sing off in 2011, they said they had been singing for 20 years. Don’t know how precise that was bu now, it’s 29 years as a group.
First singing is Chance (baritone/bass 4+ octave range) the second is Rob tenor, third is tenor. When they go all 4, Tim Foust is on the right long hair and beard. Far left is Adam Rupp (beatboxer) he will sing during songs like this.
Tim is the tall long hair, the first singer is the baritone and the bearded guy with glasses is a first tenor. The beat boxer is the guy with the shortest hair...he is also a tenor. The guy I didn't mention is the lead tenor. Listen to their How Great Thou Art and compare their cover of seven bridges road to the eagles original. Also catch Pro's Mary Did You Know and their version of Little Drummer Boy. It's the original line-up of that group.
You have made by day with your wonderful reaction !!! I love anyone who truly appreciates these guys for their talents and beautiful harmonies. Seven Bridges Road is another song that you would love, beautiful harmonies. They have a huge variety of song to listen to, please enjoy !!!!
Also, Tim’s version of Can’t Help Falling In Love With You is amazing and gives you a glimpse of how impressive his range is. It’s just audio though, no video but worth it!
Hello. Maybe, once in a lifetime there comes along a group with unbelievable talent as you find with Home Free. They are my favorite group. I never heard any group do a cover on any song and make it theirs until I heard Home Free. If you want to really be blown away with Tim Foust's bass, you must listen to their cover of Ring of Fire.
First singer is baritone Adam Chance, then tenor Rob Lundquist is the second, them Austin Brown and then Tim Faust, the bass singer and our incredible beat boxer Adam Rupp is also singing.
If you love harmonies, than you will love this group (Home Free). You have to check out Pop Medley and one of my favorites Love Train. Please check out some of their live performance they won't disappoint.
When I hear Home Free harmonize the way they do, in a performance such as this one and How Great Thou Art, to my ears they can sound like a human pipe organ.
Listening to Home Free always makes me feel better. Love them!!!! They are super sweet guys...always gracious with their fans. Thanks for reacting to them.
Singer 1 was Adam Chance, the newest member. Singer 2 is Beardy McBeardenstein, aka Rob Lundquist. Singer 3 is the usual lead singer, Austin Brown. The beat boxer is Adam Rupp, and the guy with long hair, the bass, is Tim Foust. They've been around almost 5 years, and won the season of the Sing Off after Pentatonix. I recommend Blue Ain't Your Color, Meant To Be, Wake Me Up, or..... the Butts Remix.
Stonemansteve II FYI. They’ve been a groups since 2001, when Chris & Adam Rupp founded it in their dorm room. They’ve added and lost members over the years. The only original member still in the group is Adam Rupp, the beatboxer.
I'm so glad to see you're reacting to more Home Free! They truly are amazing! I know the bigger bearded guy looks like a bass, but he's actually the lead tenor Rob Lundquist. The first singer is Adam Chance (short dark hair, trimmed beard), who sings the baritone and second bass line in the group. Austin Brown is the third singer and is the angelic high tenor (light long hair and beard). Adam Rupp is the beat boxer and in the few songs where he sings he has a sweet soft tenor voice. Your out of this world bass is coming from Tim Foust (shoulder length dark hair and short beard/goatee). Please react to How Great Thou Art, I promise you will be blown away!
I agree with everyone’s comments of Home Free here. Another artist you might enjoy that Tim Foust has worked with is Peter Hollens. His Skyrim rendition is awesome.
You should look at "Greensleeves" on Peter Hollen's channel the bassist Tim Foust from Home Free in collaboration with Peter Hollens is heavenly and you can see Tim's range also, he sings high and low in the song and switches vocally in his solo.
glad you finally got to see Tim "break the sound system" but yo understand the "freak of nature" comment you have to watch one of his "drum solos" from one of their concerts - Adam , Austin (need to hear his rendition of Les Misérables - Bring Him Home), Rob, then Tim & Adam keeping them on track with his accompaniment
I think others have commented already, on the lineup, but I'll add it here, as well: Baritone/Bass--Adam Chance (commonly known as just Chance, so that the two Adams don't get confusing) opens the song. Lead/Low Tenor--Rob Lundquist joins next. High Tenor--Austin Brown rounds out the first trio. Rob comes back in at, "They are one person..." Austin adds, "They are two, alone..." Chance completes the comparison with, "They are three, together..." [5-Octave] Bass--Tim Foust adds, "They are four...each other..." Beatboxer--Adam Rupp completes the harmonious blend. Etc. One thing I would like to point out, because every once in a while, a naysayer will comment on this particular video, something like, "Obviously auto tune is being used here." It is NOT. The only thing I can say is, "Go to a concert." You will absolutely be blown away. When I got to go, in May 2018, the ONLY thing that I didn't like was...when we finally HAD to get up out of our seats to leave the building to go home. We kept them in the arena (and they sound as great there as they would on any huge stage...I'd love to hear them at Carnegie Hall, though...WOW) for three encores. The last one they are currently doing is this one (just a lot of fun, and there's a clip in the video that shows Austin during one of those encores) (don't forget there is NO percussion other than Adam Rupp, but listen to the rhythms being kept by the others, as well) (the people dancing throughout, are Patrons, who support the group at Patreon.com; I'm a Patron, but at the time when they asked for clips to include in the video, I was in the hospital having my first hip replaced...doggone it!) :-) Anyway...here's the video: "Love Train" th-cam.com/video/0cHk8th1v3A/w-d-xo.html They are not new, in that they've been around for nearly 18 years, now, but not with this exact current mix. This total group of five have only been together since mid-2017, when Chris Rupp (who began the group while he and Adam were still in college), after 16 years decided to go out on his own. That's when Chance came on board. I would suggest you check out Chris Rupp's TH-cam channels as well Chris Rupp.. th-cam.com/channels/8VCOdC8OpUmf3SPY3Cwc1Q.html 7thAve Band (Chris and Adam's sister Tristin is part of this group, as well)... th-cam.com/channels/daBAP9_lMbXpLGj8tRRQkg.html This next list of videos to watch should give you a pretty good cross-section of Adam's outstanding beatboxing (along with his other music majors...his primary instrument is trumpet...he also studied drums for a time, in order to do the beatboxing for Home Free, back when he and his brother Chris Rupp started the group...oh, and, yes, Adam also can sing extremely well, and his OWN range, as you'll be able to tell if you watch the last video in the list below, is down in the bass range and up in the high tenor range), along with a good idea of where each of the men fit into the scheme of the group (they're all so flexible that there really isn't a "part" that any of them sing, but their personalities and voice types are used to the best advantage in each instance)... "Hillbilly Bone" th-cam.com/video/y_7_RTogRBw/w-d-xo.html "Blue Ain't Your Color" th-cam.com/video/7e9DSdkRQu4/w-d-xo.html "Castle on the Hill" th-cam.com/video/KvalGimhuME/w-d-xo.html "Try Everything" th-cam.com/video/J8vxiVIH7VY/w-d-xo.html "Fishin' in the Dark/Down in the Boondocks" th-cam.com/video/Bz8OmUMCHZw/w-d-xo.html "Woman, Amen/Female" th-cam.com/video/db5sTWEADks/w-d-xo.html "Mayday" th-cam.com/video/znoV5gND9g0/w-d-xo.html "Good Ol' Boy Good Time" th-cam.com/video/SSspyZWTmAA/w-d-xo.html Now, the beatboxing in this one is closer to some of the stuff you'd hear in Adam Rupp's "drum solos" that he does in their concerts: "Do You Hear What I Hear?" th-cam.com/video/wIQQDYaoWpc/w-d-xo.html Here's one of the best recordings that I know of, of one of those "drum solos." th-cam.com/video/pZz6uhEzSSY/w-d-xo.html Enjoy! :-) If you ever get the chance, I hope you'll attend at least one concert. :-)
What people don't seem to understand is that AutoTune is used in almost everything nowadays because it's become a standard in the music industry, even when the singers sing amazingly well live. It isn't used only for pitch corrections like most people seem to think, or only for 'bad' singers, it's also used for timing / syncing, voice effects etc. I'm not an expert but I can hear quite a lot of 'processing' on this track. However, that doesn't mean I think they're bad singers at all because I have heard them live, so I know how amazing they are as singers, performers and entertainers, but it doesn't change the fact that this track sounds pretty heavily processed. Unfortunately, the trend in music industry nowadays seems to be: the more known someone becomes, the more 'processed' their sound seems to get.
I really like their cover of Castle on the Hill and their original Good Ol' Boy Good Time. Their new Dierks Bentley/Keith Urban - Woman, Amen / Female (Home Free Cover) is wonderful also. I enjoyed this. Thank you! ^_^
I LOVE their performance with The Filharmonic on The Sing Off (Season 4; 2013). They cover I'm Alright by Kenny Loggins. If you're also a fan of Caddyshack, there's a hilarious little nod to the movie in there too!
Singer 1 - Adam Chance - Baritone/bass. Singer 2 - Rob Lundquist, - Lead Tenor. Singer 3- Austin Brown - High Tenor. Singer 4 - Tim Foust - Bass. Singer( long hair) 5 - Adam Rupp- Tenor and also Beatboxer for the group. Please check out Home Free's covers of "Blue Ain't Your Color" and "How Great Thou Art" (Adam Rupp sings and does not beatbox in last one either, but it's more harmonies like this video). Great reaction and Thanks!
Hey Coach. Absolutely loved your reaction to your second Home Free song. I followed a similar path discovering them, by following Avi with "Ring of Fire" and i heard them, and that was the end. They are possibly one of the most talented group of singers I've ever heard. I dove right in listening to song after song. I admire your restraint lol. If you want to hear why they call Adam a "freak of nature" listen to a video of him just beat boxing, i know there are two really good ones out there. He doesn't just do the drums, but makes sounds you would swear came from a soundboard. There are a few songs out there that isolate each singers abilities, Mayday, Butts, or you could watch the episodes of the Sing Off competion. You expressed the same amazement i felt when hearing them, i was blown away.
Adam Rupp (drum solo) th-cam.com/video/EanKWLUaDpgH/w-d-xo.htmlome Free (Sing off song 1) th-cam.com/video/Bfzd_RKGHAQ/w-d-xo.htmlHome Free (How great thou art) th-cam.com/video/tXQpDDcrN-w/w-d-xo.html (this is great for harmonies)Home Free (Mayday) th-cam.com/video/znoV5gND9g0/w-d-xo.html One of my personal favorites.To be honest, finding the links, i got lost in the music again and it probably took me about 30 minutes or longer to send this simply because even songs i've heard a dozen time or more i couldn't help but listen to. The sounds and harmonies just grip my soul and i go somewhere else.
Breaking the law of voices....LOL....loved that... Your reactions are so sincere and real, please, please do Home Free's version of "In the Blood" too!
This was the BEST, most genuine, and most appreciative reaction to the absolute BEST vocal group that I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing. So it’s really great when I see someone who can appreciate them as much as I can. Because honestly I don’t think most people REALLY get it. These guys harmony is unmatched!
don't sell us short. we too have ears my friend. phenomenal
Adam Rupp also plays numerous instruments and can sing. And his beat boxing is above and beyond - he's world class. The power and fullness of their sounds are a tribute to what human voices can do. It's so moving and even when it makes you cry, it's inspiring and uplifting.
Home Free never disappoints!
You need to check out them singing How Great Thou Art.
This is one of the best songs to get a picture of the whole group. Even Adam has a small solo and he doesn't like to sing very much, although he has a really nice voice.
with the headphones, yeah. definitely.
Yes please!!
How great though art is my favorite of theirs.
Yes, this. some of the most moving and powerful harmonies ive ever heard.
These guys are so amazing. The first guy to start the song off was Chance. He has a 4 octave range, but mostly sings Bass/ Baritone. The second guy to chime in was Rob (the big guy with the full beard) He's their lead tenor, but has at least a 2 octave range. The third guy is Austin(tall skinny blone guy) who is their high tenor.

And last but far from least, is their outstanding bass guy with a 5+ octave range, Tim Foust. He's the long dark haired guy. He can go so deep to the point that it's almost inautoable, and then in one long cord soar into the high tenor range without blinking an eye. In dividually these guys are so talented in their own right, but together....they are absolutely too incredible for words. I hope you check out their version of 'How Great Thou Art'. Talk about heavenly.....just you wait. These guys will knock your socks off. But if you want to see the other side of Tim's outstanding vocal range, check out 'Mayday" Thanks, I hope we see you again real soon.
Cindy Flory I too am a big fan of theirs and please don't think that I'm trying to correct you but you left out the beatboxer's name which is, as you know I'm sure, Adam. Accidents happen. I just couldn't leave him out. Have a great day.
I will nitpick :) They actually take turns with the lead position which is one things I like about them. Otherwise, I like your summary.
The second guy to sing was Austin the 1st tenor. Rob is first in the second verse when he and Austin sing a duet and Chance joins while Tim does the sustained base he talks about.
*inaudible*
Cyndie Baird you need to rewatch it. Chance sings first, then Rob, Austin, a bit of Adam and we hear Tim as they forth voice to join, but he’s the last we really get to see.

If you like this listen to All About The Bass.
Thanks a lot
I've always described Austin's voice as angelic. Short red hair with facial hair. His voice makes me melt. See them live if you get a chance!
This one really shows their "skills". Their harmony, the unison, the synchronization - just perfect! Those who have had any kind of music education, whether it be singing, band, piano, guitar, or any music lessons, can really "appreciate" this one. Know what I mean?!! ❤ Thx for doing this one!

Btw: Adam is a freak of nature becuz he's like a human drum kit. He lays down some steady, very tasteful, & wicked percussion for the group.

Each one is a great soloist, which as a group, makes them so good.
In order to really understand Adams talent you really need to listen to Adams drum solos in one of their live concerts
o.thatfanboy.o Yes. Adam himself shared this video on Facebook I made from him at a show:
m.th-cam.com/video/pZz6uhEzSSY/w-d-xo.html
I agree! I had the opportunity to see Home Free in concert and it was fantastic!
They are amazing!
Adam Rupp - truly is a freak of nature! He has the most gorgeous singing voice (3+ octaves) and his beats are fantastic! He also arranges a lot of Home Free’s music, he writes songs and has a beatbox sound that incorporates his singing voice, which not a lot of beatboxers do! Check out some of the Home Free Live videos and you will understand why his fans call him that! So Adam Chance was the first singer and he’s our baritone. Then, Rob Lunquist with the beard.

YES, YES, YES, I want to hear more of how you enjoy Home Free!!! As a huge fan of theirs (we call ourselves Home Fries), I THOROUGHLY enjoyed watching you enjoy this song. As a music teacher, I'm with you in valuing their tight harmonies and the quality of their voices overall.
These guys are fantastic! Each member can sing different parts. Classically trained. Thank you! Yes, Time can sing 5 plus octaves. Adam is a National Champion beatboxer.
Yes please! More HOME FREE 😍
Man of Constant Sorrow ... Adam is incredible.
The first person to sing was Chance - baritone. The second was Rob - tenor. The third was Austin - high tenor. Then Tim and Adam joined in last. Tim is the bass singer and Adam is the beatboxer (he's the one that's clean shaven). Their new cover of Woman/Amen/Female is incredible.
1. Chance - Baritone (but often covers bass when Tim sings lead)
2. Rob - Low Tenor
3. Austin - High Tenor
4. Tim (Longer hair, short beard)- Bass
5. Adam (short hair, clean shaven) - Beatboxer
You would love their version of Do You Hear What I Hear. The arrangement is insane! How Great Thou Art too.
You're in for an amazing ride, Frank! You've only experienced a sampling Home Free's impeccable musicianship and abundant talents. Many more HF delights out there for you! As a writer myself I appreciate great vocal writing (Darren Rust does a lot for them and is another talent worth enjoying). As someone who appreciates great vocal talents I've heard my own singing and realized I need to stick a trombone in my face and leave the singing to pros like these guys! My go-to Home Free tour-de-force is "Do You Hear What I Hear" which Adam Rupp arranged. It was filmed a few miles from my home in Eden Prairie in -20F weather. Welcome to the Home Free fold, Frank!
When you see them live, you can feel the bass throughout your body.
Cathy Smith Yes. Yes you can!
they have the best harmonies in the business
Please, come back to Home Free - you have missed so many more amazing covers and originals. Their dynamics and harmonies are simply brilliant.
I will!
You would love their version of How Great Thou Art. Truly the best classic a cappella I’ve ever experienced.
This is the best REACTION video to this song. I thoroughly agree... this is heavenly harmony!!
You have to do a reaction to In The Blood...Tim Foust voice gives me chills in this song. You will love the harmonies...
This song is beyond amazing with the lyrics and rhythm. Oh my goodness.
You just need to pick a song and go these five men are all freaks of nature ..Adam Rupp is a freak of nature that is what they call him.. he has awards for his beatboxing this man is so talented as are the rest.. you need to watch the beatboxer do his solo Oh my God the most impressive thing I've ever seen..
The first singer was Adam Chance, the second one with the glasses is Rob Lundquist, the third one is Austin Brown, the one with the long darker hair is Tim Foust the bassist, and the beat boxer is Adam Rupp.
Yes. More Home Free please. They harmonize with one another beautifully but How Great Thou Art is gorgeous
Adam Chance first to sing is a baritone, Rob Lundquist with beard he is a tenor, Austin Brown is high tenor.
Tim Foust is the bas and Adam Rupp the beatboxer is also a tenor
Yup.. for REAL! The talent these five men have is just mind boggling. Loved watching your reaction :-) If you ever get the chance, see them in person I have been four times, and am still stunned by the clarity and the sweet harmonies. Love Home Free.. more?!! Please!
Tim's smooth high notes on Mayday will nock your socks off!
Harmony takes a lot of work and just the right people to makes that blend.
Adam Rupp was world champion beatboxer for two years, voted on by his peers. He’s simply amazing!
Man of Constant Sorrow is one example of Adam Rupp's "freak of nature" talent. He mimics a harmonica so perfectly you wouldn't know it wasn't a harmonica if you closed your eyes.
It's just so much better with a headset, especially when they're high quality. Their band is awesome, everything's just so smooth ! I didn't know them so thank you !
Mark 8:52, that guy is Tim Faust the basso profundo. Another of them can do it too, but Tim is the prime one who holds the long notes. This group does a lot of comedic work but they are like velvet on the serious songs. This piece has been one of my faves since Crosby Stills and Nash did it back in the late 60's.
Peter Hollins is another wonderful singer and he has done some good collabs with Home Free. Check out the Misty Mountains song from the Hobbit movie on Peter Hollins channel featuring Tim Foust. Very good and really showcases Tim's awesome bass.
This is as real and perfect as music can get.
To hear Tim's vocal range, listen to "In the Blood" for his rich true bass, then listen too "Mayday", where he sings Tenor.. To hear Adams Beatboxing best (in my opinion) "Mayday" is very good then listen to "Woman Amen/Female" They all have extremely good voices and they are all featured as lead in different songs.
Adam Chance (baritone/bass) was the first singer. I would suggest you listen to "I Can't Outrun You" which he also directed. Rob was next (tenor) then Austin (high tenor). Tim Foust (super bass!) came in 4th, with Adam Rupp (beatboxer, but also a lovely singer). This one is pretty special - glad you enjoyed it. Tim actually arranged it!
You should check out Amazing Grace with Peter Hollens.... it is.. Amazing! also How Great Thou Art! Just go to their playlist... you won't be disappointed with whatever you pick! ;-) OH!! and Children Go Where I Send thee with Kenny Rogers and What Child is This with Chris Rupp... 6 voices!!
THIS list matches the arrangement from, Mayday.
Up front from left to right Rob is the big guy with the beard he sings second tinner and falsetto, in the middle is Tim he's singing falsetto right now and he's the Bass, Austin sings first tenor, and also sings falsetto! Now the two in the back starting on the left, the beatboxer is Adam, he's magical. Next is Chris, who looks like Leonardo DiCaprio, he sings second Tenor, also Alto which is mid-range, and Baritone as you just heard!
Home Free How Great Thou Art
I LOVED this reaction! I knew you would like this one after watching your last Home Free reaction. Which is why we recommend it 🙂.
Adam Rupp is a freak of nature because he’s the best. He was voted the best beat boxer in the world by his peers (other beat boxers) a couple years ago and he has even gotten better in the last couple years! It’s amazing. 17 years of practice will help with that. Check out an “Adam Rupp beatbox solo” sometime. Preferably a more recent one, but any will do.
hello coach first thanks so much for reacting to this one. Secondly hang on to your socks,pants,shirt,maybe your hair too because you haven't heard anything yet. They have been around for years. If you love harmonies how great thou art,seven bridges road,story of my life. I know all the Home free fans,we're called home fries, would love and truely appreciate it. God bless and hope you have a great day.
Lol! Thanks man. God bless you too.
I was going to suggest Seven Bridges Road for its amazing harmonies too.
Please compare and contrast with CSN on same song. On the Sing off in 2011, they said they had been singing for 20 years. Don’t know how precise that was bu now, it’s 29 years as a group.
Home Frees How great thou Art, best harmony so far. You have to check it out!!! just found you and think you are Great.
First singing is Chance (baritone/bass 4+ octave range) the second is Rob tenor, third is tenor. When they go all 4, Tim Foust is on the right long hair and beard. Far left is Adam Rupp (beatboxer) he will sing during songs like this.
HOME FREE won the show The Sing Off in 2013. YES! More HOME FREE..
You want heavenly? Listen to Home Free sing How Great Thou Art. Pure heaven!
"How great Thou art" is my favorite, followed by "Man of constant sorrow". just try them!
Tim is the tall long hair, the first singer is the baritone and the bearded guy with glasses is a first tenor. The beat boxer is the guy with the shortest hair...he is also a tenor. The guy I didn't mention is the lead tenor. Listen to their How Great Thou Art and compare their cover of seven bridges road to the eagles original.
Also catch Pro's Mary Did You Know and their version of Little Drummer Boy. It's the original line-up of that group.
Think you'd be able to appreciate Tim Foust's recording of Can't Help Falling In Love. Highlights his range and artistry.
More Home Free!
You have made by day with your wonderful reaction !!! I love anyone who truly appreciates these guys for their talents and beautiful harmonies. Seven Bridges Road is another song that you would love, beautiful harmonies. They have a huge variety of song to listen to, please enjoy !!!!
Another Favorite group is Pentatonix; excellent !
none better.... they kill me every time.... glad you're a homefry
Also, Tim’s version of Can’t Help Falling In Love With You is amazing and gives you a glimpse of how impressive his range is. It’s just audio though, no video but worth it!
Tim's version is my favourite version of Can't Help Falling In Love.
Hello. Maybe, once in a lifetime there comes along a group with unbelievable talent as you find with Home Free. They are my favorite group. I never heard any group do a cover on any song and make it theirs until I heard Home Free.
If you want to really be blown away with Tim Foust's bass, you must listen to their cover of Ring of Fire.
First singer is baritone Adam Chance, then tenor Rob Lundquist is the second, them Austin Brown and then Tim Faust, the bass singer and our incredible beat boxer Adam Rupp is also singing.
This song was originally done by the group Crosby, Stills and Nash at Woodstock in 1969.
If you love harmonies, than you will love this group (Home Free). You have to check out Pop Medley and one of my favorites Love Train. Please check out some of their live performance they won't disappoint.
You should also react to Tims vocal range
You want to hear Adam Rupp being a "freak of nature" ... go listen to his "drum solo" recorded at concerts.
They are PERFECT! Now you know. You are hooked like us all!
When I hear Home Free harmonize the way they do, in a performance such as this one and How Great Thou Art, to my ears they can sound like a human pipe organ.
Yes, more, more, home free.
You should re-listen to PTX in the headphones. But Home Free - How great thou art. definitely!! The bass, you will feel it.
Listening to Home Free always makes me feel better. Love them!!!! They are super sweet guys...always gracious with their fans. Thanks for reacting to them.
Singer 1 was Adam Chance, the newest member. Singer 2 is Beardy McBeardenstein, aka Rob Lundquist. Singer 3 is the usual lead singer, Austin Brown. The beat boxer is Adam Rupp, and the guy with long hair, the bass, is Tim Foust. They've been around almost 5 years, and won the season of the Sing Off after Pentatonix. I recommend Blue Ain't Your Color, Meant To Be, Wake Me Up, or..... the Butts Remix.
Stonemansteve II FYI. They’ve been a groups since 2001, when Chris & Adam Rupp founded it in their dorm room. They’ve added and lost members over the years. The only original member still in the group is Adam Rupp, the beatboxer.
You have to listen to several different songs to get a true picture of the group.
Adam Rupp drum solo is unbelievable
Angels with the sword of song.
speechless!!!
I'm so glad to see you're reacting to more Home Free! They truly are amazing! I know the bigger bearded guy looks like a bass, but he's actually the lead tenor Rob Lundquist. The first singer is Adam Chance (short dark hair, trimmed beard), who sings the baritone and second bass line in the group. Austin Brown is the third singer and is the angelic high tenor (light long hair and beard). Adam Rupp is the beat boxer and in the few songs where he sings he has a sweet soft tenor voice. Your out of this world bass is coming from Tim Foust (shoulder length dark hair and short beard/goatee). Please react to How Great Thou Art, I promise you will be blown away!
Thanks.
Did you know that that song was by Crosby, Stills, and Nash?
I agree with everyone’s comments of Home Free here. Another artist you might enjoy that Tim Foust has worked with is Peter Hollens. His Skyrim rendition is awesome.
Tim hits his HIGH range in Mayday cover of - Cam. MUST WATCH!!!
You just need to go an watch all their videos. Its spine tingling
First singer is Chance, second is Robb, Third person is Austin, the 4th is bass Tim and Adam is actually singing instead of drumming.
You should look at "Greensleeves" on Peter Hollen's channel the bassist Tim Foust from Home Free in collaboration with Peter Hollens is heavenly and you can see Tim's range also, he sings high and low in the song and switches vocally in his solo.
If you want to see just what Adam Rupp (aka, The Freak of Nature) can do, check out any of the videos of his solos from a live concert.
For the beat boxer Adam Rupp check out one of his solo sessions on the concert tour videos,
Yes, incredible. A master class in harmony. Great reaction.
Awesome!! Very angelic. Love these guys. God bless.
It is real. I saw them at the Ryman auditorium and they performed this song off the mike. It was awesome 😍
I like their cover of Blue Ain't Your Color & My Church
glad you finally got to see Tim "break the sound system" but yo understand the "freak of nature" comment you have to watch one of his "drum solos" from one of their concerts - Adam , Austin (need to hear his rendition of Les Misérables - Bring Him Home), Rob, then Tim & Adam keeping them on track with his accompaniment
Perfection! More Home Free!
I think others have commented already, on the lineup, but I'll add it here, as well:
Baritone/Bass--Adam Chance (commonly known as just Chance, so that the two Adams don't get confusing) opens the song.
Lead/Low Tenor--Rob Lundquist joins next.
High Tenor--Austin Brown rounds out the first trio.
Rob comes back in at, "They are one person..."
Austin adds, "They are two, alone..."
Chance completes the comparison with, "They are three, together..."
[5-Octave] Bass--Tim Foust adds, "They are four...each other..."
Beatboxer--Adam Rupp completes the harmonious blend.
Etc.
One thing I would like to point out, because every once in a while, a naysayer will comment on this particular video, something like, "Obviously auto tune is being used here." It is NOT. The only thing I can say is, "Go to a concert." You will absolutely be blown away. When I got to go, in May 2018, the ONLY thing that I didn't like was...when we finally HAD to get up out of our seats to leave the building to go home. We kept them in the arena (and they sound as great there as they would on any huge stage...I'd love to hear them at Carnegie Hall, though...WOW) for three encores. The last one they are currently doing is this one (just a lot of fun, and there's a clip in the video that shows Austin during one of those encores) (don't forget there is NO percussion other than Adam Rupp, but listen to the rhythms being kept by the others, as well) (the people dancing throughout, are Patrons, who support the group at Patreon.com; I'm a Patron, but at the time when they asked for clips to include in the video, I was in the hospital having my first hip replaced...doggone it!) :-) Anyway...here's the video:
"Love Train"
th-cam.com/video/0cHk8th1v3A/w-d-xo.html
They are not new, in that they've been around for nearly 18 years, now, but not with this exact current mix. This total group of five have only been together since mid-2017, when Chris Rupp (who began the group while he and Adam were still in college), after 16 years decided to go out on his own. That's when Chance came on board. I would suggest you check out Chris Rupp's TH-cam channels as well
Chris Rupp..

7thAve Band (Chris and Adam's sister Tristin is part of this group, as well)...
th-cam.com/channels/daBAP9_lMbXpLGj8tRRQkg.html
This next list of videos to watch should give you a pretty good cross-section of Adam's outstanding beatboxing (along with his other music majors...his primary instrument is trumpet...he also studied drums for a time, in order to do the beatboxing for Home Free, back when he and his brother Chris Rupp started the group...oh, and, yes, Adam also can sing extremely well, and his OWN range, as you'll be able to tell if you watch the last video in the list below, is down in the bass range and up in the high tenor range), along with a good idea of where each of the men fit into the scheme of the group (they're all so flexible that there really isn't a "part" that any of them sing, but their personalities and voice types are used to the best advantage in each instance)...
"Hillbilly Bone"
th-cam.com/video/y_7_RTogRBw/w-d-xo.html
"Blue Ain't Your Color"

"Try Everything"

"Fishin' in the Dark/Down in the Boondocks"

th-cam.com/video/znoV5gND9g0/w-d-xo.html
"Good Ol' Boy Good Time"
th-cam.com/video/SSspyZWTmAA/w-d-xo.html
Now, the beatboxing in this one is closer to some of the stuff you'd hear in Adam Rupp's "drum solos" that he does in their concerts:
"Do You Hear What I Hear?"
th-cam.com/video/wIQQDYaoWpc/w-d-xo.html
Here's one of the best recordings that I know of, of one of those "drum solos."
th-cam.com/video/pZz6uhEzSSY/w-d-xo.html
Enjoy! :-) If you ever get the chance, I hope you'll attend at least one concert. :-)
What people don't seem to understand is that AutoTune is used in almost everything nowadays because it's become a standard in the music industry, even when the singers sing amazingly well live. It isn't used only for pitch corrections like most people seem to think, or only for 'bad' singers, it's also used for timing / syncing, voice effects etc. I'm not an expert but I can hear quite a lot of 'processing' on this track. However, that doesn't mean I think they're bad singers at all because I have heard them live, so I know how amazing they are as singers, performers and entertainers, but it doesn't change the fact that this track sounds pretty heavily processed. Unfortunately, the trend in music industry nowadays seems to be: the more known someone becomes, the more 'processed' their sound seems to get.
I really like their cover of Castle on the Hill and their original Good Ol' Boy Good Time. Their new Dierks Bentley/Keith Urban - Woman, Amen / Female (Home Free Cover) is wonderful also. I enjoyed this. Thank you! ^_^
I LOVE their performance with The Filharmonic on The Sing Off (Season 4; 2013). They cover I'm Alright by Kenny Loggins. If you're also a fan of Caddyshack, there's a hilarious little nod to the movie in there too!
Singer 1 - Adam Chance - Baritone/bass. Singer 2 - Rob Lundquist, - Lead Tenor. Singer 3- Austin Brown - High Tenor. Singer 4 - Tim Foust - Bass. Singer( long hair) 5 - Adam Rupp- Tenor and also Beatboxer for the group. Please check out Home Free's covers of "Blue Ain't Your Color" and "How Great Thou Art" (Adam Rupp sings and does not beatbox in last one either, but it's more harmonies like this video). Great reaction and Thanks!
Thanks.
Hey Coach. Absolutely loved your reaction to your second Home Free song. I followed a similar path discovering them, by following Avi with "Ring of Fire" and i heard them, and that was the end. They are possibly one of the most talented group of singers I've ever heard. I dove right in listening to song after song. I admire your restraint lol. If you want to hear why they call Adam a "freak of nature" listen to a video of him just beat boxing, i know there are two really good ones out there. He doesn't just do the drums, but makes sounds you would swear came from a soundboard. There are a few songs out there that isolate each singers abilities, Mayday, Butts, or you could watch the episodes of the Sing Off competion. You expressed the same amazement i felt when hearing them, i was blown away.
Wow! would sure like to see this. Any link?

The sounds and harmonies just grip my soul and i go somewhere else.
I love your description: "The sounds and harmonies just grip my soul and i go somewhere else" That's what happens to me too.
All of their stuff is great. How Great Thou Art is really great for their harmony to come out
There is rob, Adam, chance ( bass but sings baritone), Tim (bass lead) and Austin
Breaking the law of voices....LOL....loved that... Your reactions are so sincere and real, please, please do Home Free's version of "In the Blood" too!
Check out their cover of "Man of Constant Sorrow" for Adam doing a harmonica solo without a harmonica.
For Real!!! They are amazing and I too love harmony so much :)
Oops, sorry for the typos below. Your reaction was fun to watch. I had to watch it a couple more times.
Please more HF! They take every song to a new level! Thanks for the reaction.
Thank you for your honesty...
How great thou art...
