Also known as a Jew Harp I guess somebody decided that name could be racist or something. Adam Rupp is the best best boxer only uses his voice. No equipment but microphones, no looper. Look up his drum solo online.
Chance (baritone/bass) is making the sound of a jaw harp. Adam is considered the best beatboxer (sound machine) and can make all kinds of sounds. He can sing but prefers to beatbox. First singer Austin is high tenor and second singer Rob is lower tenor. Bass singer is Tim who has busted sound systems going so low. They are a country group but sing all kinds of music originals and covers. Austin and Rob even sung a opera song together (it is on youtube, Nessum Dorma). Be careful as Home Free is an addiction and we fans are known as Home Fries.
Highly recommend "Nessun Dorma" (if you aren't into opera and you don't recognize the title, you'll recognize the aria when you hear it). You won't believe what comes out of Rob's mouth. Rob is the lower tenor. I also highly recommend "When a Man Loves a Woman" which features Austin (the high tenor)--it's incredible.
It was a name given to a "cheap" instument that would be bought by stingy people, ie: Jews. so no it is a term not used anymore except by stubborn oblivious types.
Young lady Home Free has been a group since 2000 and has grown over the years with different members, the beet boxer Adam Rupp and his brother Chris founded the the band and now have over 2 million followers on different platforms. Great reaction hope to see more Home Free on your channel.
Home Free is a VERY DEEP rabbit hole! There's only one mistake you can make with this group -- listening to their cover of "Mayday" too soon. When you get there, you'll understand why it's best to listen to at least 6 other performances before "Mayday." Fortunately, that will be a pleasant task! 🙂 Here are some of their best: ----- - American Pie (performed with the original artist -- celebrating the 50th anniversary of the song.) th-cam.com/video/9RlTZdYXcKg/w-d-xo.html ----- - Brothers in Arms (sombre and moving cover of Mark Knopfler's song about war) th-cam.com/video/_ChD2WjD2tY/w-d-xo.html ----- - Crazy (cover of Patsy Cline's best known song...written by Willie Nelson) th-cam.com/video/MD17NnmqHuQ/w-d-xo.html ----- - Elvira (performed together with original artists The Oak Ridge Boys) th-cam.com/video/Wgm9gZs1hYw/w-d-xo.html ----- - End of the Road (cover of the R&B hit by Boyz II Men) th-cam.com/video/-lCRFAFtj-A/w-d-xo.html ----- - God Bless the USA (performed with original artist Lee Greenwood plus the USAF "Singing Sergeants") th-cam.com/video/SrMftm6Km3g/w-d-xo.html ----- -How Great Thou Art (a magnificent rendition of a great gospel song) th-cam.com/video/tXQpDDcrN-w/w-d-xo.html ----- - Listen to the Music (this could be an upgrade of The Doobie Bros. original) th-cam.com/video/O_7IYbuRgWQ/w-d-xo.html ----- - Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash hit featuring two basses - Tim Foust (HF) and Avi Kaplan (Pentatonix) th-cam.com/video/0l3dsHCScxU/w-d-xo.html ----- - Stand By Me (one of the best songs from the Doo Wop era!!) th-cam.com/video/wspdF1Azgro/w-d-xo.html ----- - The Gambler (cover of Kenny Rogers hit that won a Grammy and sparked 5 movies!) th-cam.com/video/ZZQXj7K-_1M/w-d-xo.html
They do use a looper on stage for certain songs during their performances. Adam Rupp is the beatboxer and cofounder of the group with his brother Chris who left the band in 2016. They started the group in college back in 2000. They won the 4th season of the Sing Off in 2013 and since then they have a world wide audience with multiple albums and are known as the only country A cappella band in existence, although they have done all genres. They have around 200 music videos with over 500 million views on line. They are known to have the richest harmonies on the planet and every single video they have done is perfection, not one bad video ever with these guys. Their live shows are like a party as much as a concert, and the bass singer, Tim Foust will make your whole body vibrate in your chair when he goes down to a very deep G2. Their fans are called Home Fries and if you review more of their portfolio of work, you will become a Home Fry too!
This group is not a capella, but I went through your playlist, listened to a few, but didn't find a reaction to JINJER Pisces (live session). It makes for a fun reaction video😉
This song blew me away when I first heard it & I was completely hooked. These guys are all so talented. They lean towards country but they can do any genre. They all can take the lead depending on whos voice is best for the song. They are known for their tight harmonies. Tim Foust is one of the best bass singers out there (5 octave range) & their beatboxer vocal percussionist Adam Rupp can simulate any sound such as drums, harmonica etc. Some of my favorites are "Take Me Home Country Roads", "In The Blood", "Blue Ain't Your Color", "How Great Thou Art", "Elvira", "Hillbilly Bone", "American Pie", "Brother In Arms", "One Man Band", "Listen To The Music", "Sea Shanty Medley", "Skull & Bones" etc.
Adam Rupp isn’t a world champion, this is a bit of misinformation that’s gotten spread around. All the beatbox world championships and their winners are online for anyone to easily view or look up. Adam Rupp has said he hasn’t competed in them and doesn’t have an interest in competing.
This group is amazing! It's a great rabbit hole to go down. They do use a loop machine in concert. The beat boxer Adam uses it to add multiple layers. For example, in this song Chance's "Digery Do" was looped so he could also sing harmonies. Adam layered his "Harmonica" on top of his drum beats. He is an unbelievable beat boxer and can sing too! To round out the group, Austin was the first tenor, Rob was the second tenor, and the bass is Tim Foust. He has a 5 octave range and can sing up in tenor territory..
Welcome to the Home Fry family 😊 Home Free is Austin Brown tenor 1 Rob Lundquist tenor 2 Adam Chance Baritone Tim Foust Bass Adam Rupp Beatboxer. In older videos you will see a man in a hat, Chris Rupp Adam's brother and Co founder of the group. Chris Rupp went out on his own and was replaced by Adam Chance. Austin Brown just announced recently he will be leaving the group after their current tour.
Sub'd because of HF....so I'm going to give ya a leg up on getting to know them with a cheat sheet I've appropriated myself! The group started in 2001 by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp They won The Sing Off season 4 2013 that's where they became very popular. They are the only country A Capella ( all vocals no instruments)group but they are honestly do so so much more than just country music they can sing any genre and they do. There is no Lead singer in the group. They each ( except Adam )sing the song and who’s ever voice or voices sound right for the song gets the lead unless is a bass/ baritone song then that’s Tim or Chance. A lot of time they each have a part in the song. Fans of Home Free are known as Home Fries and are very loyal to the guys. Adam Rupp: Beatboxer Extraordinaire ( 41) can make any sound imaginable (A whole drum kit, harmonica (his Nomonica we call it )plane flyovers, trains, castanets, bugs ,birds etc).Co founder from Mankato Minnesota. Rob Lundquist :Lead tenor(beard and glasses) ( 40 )very soulful voice and master whistler from Minneapolis, Minnesota Tim Foust :Bass (had long dark hair now short with grey ) ( 42 ) 5+ octave range can go so low he blows speakers or sky high from Nederland, Texas Austin Brown: High Tenor ( Long wavy hair )( 37 ) voice of an angel from Tifton Georgia. Adam Chance(Aka Chance):Baritone/Bass ( 39 ) deep, rich voice(Does the juice harp sound in Man Of Constant Sorrow) has short dark hair short beard from Baldwin County, Alabama. Replaced Chris Rupp ( Adams Brother and co founder in 2016) They have collaborated with many singers and legends Don McLean: American Pie Oak Ridge Boys: Elvira Kenny Rodgers: Children Go Where I Send Thee (Please watch the end message) Billy Gilman: One Voice Alabama: Christmas In Dixie Mark Wills: Don’t Laugh At Me ( important message at the end ) Lee Greenwood & US Airforce Band: God Bless The USA Any many more. They have 3 amazing songwriters in the group Tim, Austin and Chance So they have a very large playlist of covers and original songs End of the Road (Boyz 2 Men cover ) When A Loves A Woman Helplessly Hoping (5 part harmony masterpiece ) Unchained Melody Butts Medley/ Remix Listen To The Music Can’t Outrun You Brothers In Arms Stargazer Trilogy( All Originals written by Austin) Give Me A Sign ( Chapter 1) Stargazer Lilies( Chapter 2) MR (Chapter 3) Skull And Bones ( original written by Chance for Ubisoft new video game Skull And Bones) Might As Well Be Me ( Original) Playing With Fire ( Original) Remember My Name (Original) Oh Pretty Woman Life Is A Highway Stand By Me Cruise I Want Crazy Christmas In LA ( Newest Release Mayday(DON’T WATCH TILL YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE GROUP AND THEIR RANGES ) There's not a song that you pick from their 200+ catalog that is bad I haven't found one yet. They are just funny, down to earth, humble really nice guys. They are the best A Cappella group there is IMO Sorry for the long read
Home Free was my first post-pandemic concert and the first concert EVER for my (then) young teenagers. Yes, they do live-loop the "jaw harp/digeridoo" and some of the drum track and "dom, dom, doo" background vocals to free them up for singing and "harmonica".
Fun reaction ! Subbed for more Home Free! For some variety in their work, try 'Helplessly Hoping', 'Champaign Taste on a Beer Budget', 'In the Blood', 'Sea Shanty Medley', 'When a Man Loves a Woman', 'End of the Road' and 'Brothers in Arms' - just to suggest a few. These guys can do any genre, and they do it with excellence every time.
They do use a looper on a few of their songs in concert to layer voices as necessary. Completely transparent about it. They show laying down each layer before starting the song and Adam (beatboxer) controls the looper during the song. Very few, if any, other effects tho.
Excellent reaction. There is nothing done to enhance any of their voices. No autotune. They do record layers on some of their songs but they are all pure vocals. Look for "Adam Rupp Drum Solo. You will see the beat boxers talent. And the more you investigate them the more you'll get hooked. They are even better live. I've seen them 4 times.
This is a great place to start with Home Free.... If you follow up on them, hold on to your headphones: You ain't heard nuthin yet! Welcome to the Home Fries reactions group. In this video, I believe he DID use a looper to keep the beat going through the harmonica part, but I saw it live and one of the other band mates picked up the percussion through it. I'll leave you to guess which one did.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole they have over 300 videos on TH-cam they do all kinds of music enjoy the ride and us home fries will be with you ❤️
If you liked Austin's voice (Lead Singer in this song) then you REALLY ought to listen to their cover of When A Man Loves A Woman. Each member was recorded from different studios during COVID, and Austin was singing to his wife (off-camera). The vocal control in that one is in the stratosphere!
Yes you are correct Adam Rupp Beatboxer explains in concerts the looper. He shows the audience how he will lay down the drums recording. And play it back so he can add other sounds. But all five of them have at least one beatbox sound they can make. In this track Adam Chance is playing the mouth harp (Digeridoo) you can see at the end of the video.😊
You need to go ahead NOW and get your tickets to see them live as this is Austin's last concert tour with them. He is leaving in the fall, so after that it will be who ever they replace him with. I have tickets for April and cannot wait! Thanks for your reaction!
Ms FAR, Thank you for sharing this with me, I’ve been a Homefrye for years now, and it’s always fun to have new people come aboard the HF express (choo-choo). Loved the original when I heard on o brother where art thou. HF made it better. They have lots of great music, I’ll subscribe for more. You may also want to check out Pentatonix, the class of the genre. Brilliant is just one word, that barely scratches the surface. They have three Grammys(and counting) , and 20million subscribers on TH-cam alone.
Adam Rupp (the beatbooxer) does not use filters, and to prove it, there are two videos on here (TH-cam) with him doing drum solo's. In fact, we're going to see them again tonight at the Majestic Theater in Stafford, Tx.
All your questions will be answered if you stick with these guys. There is video also of them "live" on stage. They are primarily a "show band". They won the TV show "The Sing Off" around 2013. They also started writing their own music which you will hear from time to time. They have been around for 24 yrs but the members have changed with another change coming up as Austin prepares to leave near the end of the year. They seem to be well rounded and versatile. They get along with each other well. I always look forward to hearing their music. They usually put something out on TH-cam about every two weeks. They are also on other platforms. They have a great sense of humor and don't take themselves too seriously.
Love your reaction. I love Home Free. They were on tour through my hometown last year and i missed it dang it. They have a bunch of really good videos. You'll become a Home Fry.
Yes, welcome to Home Free, all acapella, no instruments at all. Masters of all musical genres. They won the 4th season of the Sing Off in 2013. Their covers are upgrades, their medleys are brilliant, their collaborations with the original artists are inspirational, and their original songs are masterpieces. Within this 5 man vocal band you have 5 tenors, 5 beat boxers, and 2 bass-baritones. All of them can sing lead and they choose depending on whose voice best fits the song. They can do just about anything and they continue to grow and improve, yet they remain so humble. When they have featured guest artist, they support and allow their featured artists to shine. Several of them have their own channels and do some solo work. And just for fun Rob and Austin sing Opera. What else can I say? Their catalogue of work is quite large and continues to grow. To see a good quality live performance check out their official live video of their Sea Shanty Medley. Also there is is a live Adam Rupp, beat boxing video. This is usually included in every live performance. You are in for an exciting journey and the Home Fries will be there for you all the way.
I would only add that a review of their ranges would show at least 4 members capable of covering the full baritone range and 3 (both Adams and Tim) able to cover the full bass range. Both Adam Rupp and Tim have blown speakers at the lower end of their ranges.
Just subscribed with hopes for more Home Free. They are the absolute best! They do a huge variety of music and each have a very impressive vocal range. They will make you dance, cry and fall out of your seat laughing . They have great personalities and sense of humor and are genuinely good people. The bass, Tim, has a 5 + octave range and the beatboxer, Adam, is freaking awesome. Thanks for the Home Free reaction.
I believe this is stacked vocals. Adam (the beatboxer) does use a looper live on some songs. The looper is just recorded snippets of his vocalizations though. The only compression is from the microphone which he doesn't change.
"Man of Constant Sorrow" is a traditional American folk song that has been performed by various artists over the years. Here is a list of some notable artists and groups who have sung or recorded versions of "Man of Constant Sorrow": The Stanley Brothers - This bluegrass duo, consisting of Ralph Stanley and Carter Stanley, recorded a well-known version of "Man of Constant Sorrow" in 1950.

Joan Baez - The folk singer and activist Joan Baez covered "Man of Constant Sorrow" on her album "Joan Baez in Concert, Part 1," released in 1962. The Soggy Bottom Boys (fictional band) - In the 2000 film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, the song was performed by a fictional band called The Soggy Bottom Boys. The vocals were provided by Dan Tyminski, with Harley Allen and Pat Enright singing backing vocals. Alison Krauss - Renowned bluegrass and country artist Alison Krauss collaborated with Union Station on a version of "Man of Constant Sorrow" for the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack, released in 2000. Ralph Stanley - Ralph Stanley, a prominent figure in bluegrass music, recorded multiple versions of "Man of Constant Sorrow" throughout his career, including a solo rendition and collaborations with other artists. The Cox Family - This bluegrass and country group contributed a version of "Man of Constant Sorrow" to the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack, featuring vocals by Suzanne Cox.

Charm City Junction - This modern folk band has also performed "Man of Constant Sorrow" in their repertoire, showcasing the enduring popularity of the song across different musical genres. These are just a few examples of artists and groups who have sung or recorded versions of "Man of Constant Sorrow." The song's timeless appeal and rich musical history have made it a favorite for musicians across various genres.
Subbing for more Home Free. Enjoyed your reaction. In regards to that "R" at the end of words, 1. Austin is a Georgia boy with an accent, 2. only in country music genre is the strong "R" sound used at the end of a word. In any other music genres, it's a big no-no (as you pointed out). Home Free, in non-country songs, will sing them correctly without that troublesome R. 😊
The instrument sound at the beginning is called a Mouth Harp or Juice Harp and is being done by Chance in back wearing the black vest, beside Adam Rupp the main beat boxer. Plus at least 2 other members can beat box as well.
You've just stumbled upon the best....look up their live performance of Sea Shanty Medley...make sure its the live performance not just the original one. To also some of their versatility, check out their video for their original song SKULL & BONES.
Home Free is amazing. Adam, the beatboxer, is a freak of nature as the boys call him. He was doing the drums, harmonica and other sounds. Chance, back left, was doing the mouth harp (didgeridoo) sound. Austin (lead here) does hard r sounds as he’s southern and two other boys are southern too. They don’t have a lead singer and they sing all genres of music. They also write and sing their own music too. Their newest one is Any Way the Wind Blows and it’s original. 🤩😄
They definitely used a looper in various ways. You hear the beatbox rhythm continue while Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, is 'playing' harmonica (often referred to as 'nomonica'). The others can beatbox, but Adam is so much better and it continues in this perfectly from the prior rhythm he produced. The ostinato ("dop dop") is from Rob Lundquist (overalls and big beard) and continues while he sings his lines. They show in live shows how they put that riff on the looper and continue it so he can do other stuff. The 'digeridoo' - which in the USA, especially the southeast, is taken for being an instrument called a jaw harp (a/k/a Jews harp or juice harp) - is done by Adam Chance (called Chance to differentiate from Adam Rupp, who was already there when Chance joined) using the Mongolian throat singing technique, but it is very hard on his throat, so the looper is used.
Seen them live three times Adam Rupp used to not have a looper the first time I seen them but he uses one now. But he makes all the sounds and loops whatever he needs in live performance. Its still all live every bit of it. Nothing pre-recorded and looped. And he does that no monica live! Sounds just like a harmonica. They are a fantastic group. Unfortunately Austin Brown the one that carried most of the lead in this song is leaving his full time roll to be at home more and start a family. Us Homefries are supportive of that and we know they will with his help find someone great to replace him. Hopefully the video you watched was better quality then the one we seen so you could see who was doing what. Great rabbit hole to dive down you will not be disappointed, will love Homefree, and will be a honorary Homefry soon!
Only in the last couple of years the beatboxer has started using a looper. He has 3 videos of him doing a solo, the latest one shows him using the looper.
Just scrolling and came across your reaction to Home Free and subscribed. love these guys! I doubt you will find any better sounding harmonies than these guys!❤
Couple of additional recommendations from the group - "Ring of Fire" and "Butts Remix" (yes, it's a remix of butt-related songs). And then check out "Misty Mountains" (from the Hobbit) done by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust (Foust is the bass singer).
If you get to hear their 50th anniversary of American Pie with Don McLean (he asked them to do it with him) Adam the beat boxer had to sustain it for 6 minutes and almost passed out. He's that good! Also, Elvira with the Oak Ridge Boys Adam throws down a drum set master class. Well worth checking out.
very cool, I got your video suggested. My nephew was a singer with Range a cappella that sang at The 2015 Academy Awards. It has been a while since then but we were so excited that he accomplished it. They performed "Oscars Medley - RANGE [E! Live from the Red Carpet at 2015 Academy Awards]". He did some plays on Broadway but has since moved to Oregon and lives a quiet life.. He is the 'beat box' guy
Home Free is great! My tastes lean to Pentatonix as the best a capella in the world at the moment. But you can't go wrong with either one. You have opened a box with a ton of great music.
If you want to REALLY hear what the can do, check out How Great Thou Art sung in Kearny MO on 6/17/17. The concert got ended early by a thunderstorm, but the guys gave the crowd huddled under a pavilion one last song. No mics, no amps, just 5 guys on a picnic table accompanied by Mother Nature.
That first sound is a JEWS HARP/Mouth harp. Everyone gets it wrong. And that sound is not done by the beat boxer. It is done by the last man you see when the video is ending.
check out their Sea Shanty original video from during lockdown...then check out the official live video to see them doing it live....he used to do an old school drum solo during concerts but yes, he uses a looper (not a drum pad) to loop his drum vocals for layering.
I'm sure this is already covered, but... Adam Rupp (back row, in suspenders) is the primary percussionist. There are some vids of him on stage, live, doing fantastic stuff. But even he can't do fake drums, fake harmonica and animal sounds all at the same time. So for this song in concert, they do use a looping machine. Adam Chance (other side of the back row) is doing other effects for this song, including the jaw harp. Ordinarily, he's the baritone and backup bass.
Adam Rupp does use a looper for certain things (I've seen them in concert), but he sounds exactly a drum kit and a harmonica (nomonica). Watch one of Adam's drum solo videos...truly amazing.
Ok, so this music video has several layers to it. So, it isn't a loop box for the studio recording. But when they sing live they do use a loop box for the jaw harp, the "dab dab do" and some of the beatboxing while the harmonica part is playing. But you see it when they add it in at the very beginning of the song. It's quite masterful. There are a couple of videos showing the beatboxer's, Adam Rupp, skills. One doesn't have anything but a mic. And the other is with the use of the loopbox. Both are amazing.
Home Free is an utterly amazing group of guys, and this song is like a Gateway drug to all their goodness! Adam (the beatboxer) is a phenomenon in his own right and each of the vocalists will blow you away as you explore the group's catalog of offerings. Welcome to Home Free and may they delight you and your channel for a long while to come :D
You really need to watch Adam Rupp the beat boxer from Home Free do his drum solo, pretty unbelievable, should blow your socks off. Cheers and a great reaction video. Love Australia
so many great groups out there that people know about now. And should be listening to all of them! Voiceplay, Home Free, Pentatonix, the Nigerian guys Vocamonix, and many others.
A couple of little points just to help out. That sound NOT being played on a harmonica is what they call a "nomonica". Adam Rupp, the percussionist (beat boxer), actually learned in originally from Tim Foust the Bass that I think you remember. As for the beat boxing as this is a studio track there may be a looper being used as one is used in live concerts as well. To get a little idea of what Adam Rupp can do check this out sometime if you wish. (this is from 8 years ago) th-cam.com/video/EanKWLUaDpg/w-d-xo.html
Adam does use a looper for live shows. The audio behind this video in particular is multi track recordings that have been mixed, as you may have noticed that the drums continued suring the "nomonica" lines. But his beat boxing if freakisly good without need for added effects. A possible next video is "How Great Thou Art", in which all five sing with no beat boxing. You will be amazed at all of them as you get to know them better. Jaw harp, not digerie doo. You mean pronounce final R sounds like the average American, rather than the pseudo poshness of, say Boston?
I saw them live last night in concert and, yes, the beatboxer does use a looper to layer the vocals and some vocal percussion sounds. They used 5 microphones and speakers on the stage. The bass was rumbling us in the seats. They are amazing live. When they performed this live the lead singer in this. Austin, joined in doing the "nomonica" sound. They also mashed up this song with their version of Folsom Prison Blues. It was so stinken cool!
Couple of things: Us aficionados call ourselves, "Home Fries", from their time on the Sing Off. Also, Tim (the bassist) has a freaky range. Take a look at, "All About That Bass" for an example. Just make sure to watch the original video first; they parody it pretty well.
Others have probably already begun this "education", but... The man that had most of the leads in this is Austin Brown (who is about to leave the group). You should definitely check out their cover of "When A Man Loves A Woman". I would also recommend their cover of "Ring of Fire" featuring Avi Kaplan (the former bass singer from Pentatonix). Home Free's bass singer, Tim Foust, has done several collaborations with other a capella artists (Peter Hollens, Voiceplay, and The Bass Gang). Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, has been "accused" of having swallowed a drum kit in his youth. In this, you got to hear his "no-monica". 😉
On the Sing-Off, one of the judges Shawn Stockman said it best to Austin: "Austin, listen, your voice is as smooth as butter." . True, but I've never heard butter growl. 🙂
They do use a looper but not to alter the sound, it's only used to keep the beat going during the harmonica solo. They also loop the jaw harp sound "digeridoo".
I have heard people say, that YES, they do use a looper sometimes. But from what I know, a looper does NOT change or make a sound. It just records it and repeats it. The sound was made by Adam. And they SHOW the audience him setting up the looper. So they know that he (Adam) make the sounds. And, like you said, if I am wrong, tell me. Great Post, by the way., And the Harmonica sounds, He calls that the No-Monica. LOL.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. It runs very deep. They do not have a bad song. Check out When a Man Loves a Woman, and Hill Billy Bone. There are so many, anymore. By the Beat Boxer is so very talented. We Home Fries call it the No Monica. Love your reaction! ♥
Welcome to the Home Free party. Adam Rupp's beatboxing does sound just like that live. Simply amazing. He does use a looper to allow him to doubletrack in some instances during the live show and they may doubletrack him on studio recordings, too, but he is that talented. There is a very good professional video of their Sea Shanty Medley in which you see Adam using the looper. There are also quite a few videos of his "drum solo" in concert where you can see that he does make all those sounds unassisted. Enjoy the ride.
Check out their cover of Brothers in Arms. Watch once for the visuals, again for the voices, and yet again for the symbolism harping bace to when groups of men first threw rocks at other groups.
When they are live, Adam uses a looper on this song, just because there are too many sounds for one person to make at a time. I have seen them live twice and it was awesome both times. Another popular song they do is Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash). They have so many great videos (over 200 I believe) that you couldn't miss reacting to ANY of them. Weldome to the rabbit hole...
Nice comments on the looper. They do use one in concert for this song live to get it started. The mouth harp sound hurts Chance's throat and Rob's doh doh doos are of course looped. And yes they probably did use one for Adam the beat boxer's beat to let him do the nomonika or they just layered another track of him. And yes there are at least 8 or 9 tracks total. But every sound you hear is one of their voices and yes, Adam (the beatboxer) is just that good! That's for sharing! Your rapid fire comments are awesome!
Welcome to the wonderful world of accapella. There are three premier groups .. Pentatonix (pop, originals, and Christmas songs), Home Free (country, ballads, originals and comedy), and Voiceplay (show tunes, theatrical productsions). All are fantastic and different from each other ....... have fun going down this unbelievable rabbit hole !!
such an extremely talented group of guys who are their own instruments that are producing that clean and strong american bluegrass sound the only things i don't hear is a honky tonk piano and banjos influence thick and rich like molasses
Home Free has a video of their drum solo you should check out to see how real it truly is. Watch the one where the beat boxer is wearing a red flannel shirt
I HAVE LEARNED WHAT A JAW HARP IS NOW.
THANK YOU.
Tim Foust the bassist has a range of 6 full octaves

😢😢❤@@Pjeguns
Also known as a Jew Harp I guess somebody decided that name could be racist or something. Adam Rupp is the best best boxer only uses his voice. No equipment but microphones, no looper. Look up his drum solo online.
Their equipment is five mics. Check out Adam Rupp's beat box solo video. It will blow your mind.
Not quite true. They do use a looper for this song and some others, so that Adam's drums can keep going while he breaks out the "nomonica".
@@qatar824 I thought she was referring to their live shows. Studio stuff is another thing entirely, but I get your point. 🙂
You'll believe that is "just" Adam Rupp if you watch his "drum" solo.
Studio multi tracks, live looper
The realism of the percission, Rupp. Check out his "Drum Solo."
My fav drum solo is the one from 2015 where he’s wearing the red flannel shirt.
Chance (baritone/bass) is making the sound of a jaw harp. Adam is considered the best beatboxer (sound machine) and can make all kinds of sounds. He can sing but prefers to beatbox. First singer Austin is high tenor and second singer Rob is lower tenor. Bass singer is Tim who has busted sound systems going so low. They are a country group but sing all kinds of music originals and covers. Austin and Rob even sung a opera song together (it is on youtube, Nessum Dorma). Be careful as Home Free is an addiction and we fans are known as Home Fries.
Highly recommend "Nessun Dorma" (if you aren't into opera and you don't recognize the title, you'll recognize the aria when you hear it). You won't believe what comes out of Rob's mouth. Rob is the lower tenor. I also highly recommend "When a Man Loves a Woman" which features Austin (the high tenor)--it's incredible.
Is jaw harp new-speak?
Isn't it ok anymore to use the traditional name for it?
@@chrissibersky4617 I believe it's also called a Jew's Harp or a Juice Harp. No idea why either of these names was adopted.
@@janhankins911
I'm +50 and where I'm from it's always been called a Jew's harp.
Maybe it's a regional thing?
It was a name given to a "cheap" instument that would be bought by stingy people, ie: Jews. so no it is a term not used anymore except by stubborn oblivious types.
Young lady Home Free has been a group since 2000 and has grown over the years with different members, the beet boxer Adam Rupp and his brother Chris founded the the band and now have over 2 million followers on different platforms. Great reaction hope to see more Home Free on your channel.
Home Free is a VERY DEEP rabbit hole! There's only one mistake you can make with this group -- listening to their cover of "Mayday" too soon. When you get there, you'll understand why it's best to listen to at least 6 other performances before "Mayday." Fortunately, that will be a pleasant task! 🙂 Here are some of their best:
-----
- American Pie (performed with the original artist -- celebrating the 50th anniversary of the song.)

th-cam.com/video/_ChD2WjD2tY/w-d-xo.html
-----
- Crazy (cover of Patsy Cline's best known song...written by Willie Nelson)

-----
- God Bless the USA (performed with original artist Lee Greenwood plus the USAF "Singing Sergeants")

- The Gambler (cover of Kenny Rogers hit that won a Grammy and sparked 5 movies!)
th-cam.com/video/ZZQXj7K-_1M/w-d-xo.html
They do use a looper on stage for certain songs during their performances. Adam Rupp is the beatboxer and cofounder of the group with his brother Chris who left the band in 2016. They started the group in college back in 2000. They won the 4th season of the Sing Off in 2013 and since then they have a world wide audience with multiple albums and are known as the only country A cappella band in existence, although they have done all genres. They have around 200 music videos with over 500 million views on line. They are known to have the richest harmonies on the planet and every single video they have done is perfection, not one bad video ever with these guys. Their live shows are like a party as much as a concert, and the bass singer, Tim Foust will make your whole body vibrate in your chair when he goes down to a very deep G2. Their fans are called Home Fries and if you review more of their portfolio of work, you will become a Home Fry too!
thank you for watching my reaction! Please look forward to reactions to more a capella groups in the near future!
This group is not a capella, but I went through your playlist, listened to a few, but didn't find a reaction to JINJER Pisces (live session). It makes for a fun reaction video😉
I'd love to see your reaction to Voiceplay (another a cappella group) and Geoff Castellucci's (a member of Voiceplay) solo channel.
Subbing then 😊
They are amazing in concert. You can feel Tim's bass in your chest.
This song blew me away when I first heard it & I was completely hooked. These guys are all so talented. They lean towards country but they can do any genre. They all can take the lead depending on whos voice is best for the song. They are known for their tight harmonies. Tim Foust is one of the best bass singers out there (5 octave range) & their beatboxer vocal percussionist Adam Rupp can simulate any sound such as drums, harmonica etc.
Some of my favorites are "Take Me Home Country Roads", "In The Blood", "Blue Ain't Your Color", "How Great Thou Art", "Elvira", "Hillbilly Bone", "American Pie", "Brother In Arms", "One Man Band", "Listen To The Music", "Sea Shanty Medley", "Skull & Bones" etc.
Lots of folk miss the vinyl record hisses and pops are by the guy in overalls! Best of the best!!
You need to check out Adam Rupps drum solo. The guy is a world champion. These guys are the best out there.
Adam Rupp isn’t a world champion, this is a bit of misinformation that’s gotten spread around. All the beatbox world championships and their winners are online for anyone to easily view or look up. Adam Rupp has said he hasn’t competed in them and doesn’t have an interest in competing.
@@YnEoS10 Though to the fans of Home Free, he is a champion. LOL
This group is amazing! It's a great rabbit hole to go down.
They do use a loop machine in concert. The beat boxer Adam uses it to add multiple layers. For example, in this song Chance's "Digery Do" was looped so he could also sing harmonies. Adam layered his "Harmonica" on top of his drum beats. He is an unbelievable beat boxer and can sing too! To round out the group, Austin was the first tenor, Rob was the second tenor, and the bass is Tim Foust. He has a 5 octave range and can sing up in tenor territory..
Home Free , the best of the very best!! Adam, Chance, Rob, Austin and Tim
Welcome to the Home Fry family 😊 Home Free is
Austin Brown tenor 1
Rob Lundquist tenor 2
Adam Chance Baritone
Tim Foust Bass
Adam Rupp Beatboxer.
In older videos you will see a man in a hat, Chris Rupp Adam's brother and Co founder of the group. Chris Rupp went out on his own and was replaced by Adam Chance. Austin Brown just announced recently he will be leaving the group after their current tour.
Sub'd because of HF....so I'm going to give ya a leg up on getting to know them with a cheat sheet I've appropriated myself!
The group started in 2001 by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp They won The Sing Off season 4 2013 that's where they became very popular. They are the only country A Capella ( all vocals no instruments)group but they are honestly do so so much more than just country music they can sing any genre and they do. There is no Lead singer in the group. They each ( except Adam )sing the song and who’s ever voice or voices sound right for the song gets the lead unless is a bass/ baritone song then that’s Tim or Chance. A lot of time they each have a part in the song. Fans of Home Free are known as Home Fries and are very loyal to the guys. Adam Rupp: Beatboxer Extraordinaire ( 41) can make any sound imaginable (A whole drum kit, harmonica (his Nomonica we call it )plane flyovers, trains, castanets, bugs ,birds etc).Co founder from Mankato Minnesota. Rob Lundquist :Lead tenor(beard and glasses) ( 40 )very soulful voice and master whistler from Minneapolis, Minnesota Tim Foust :Bass (had long dark hair now short with grey ) ( 42 ) 5+ octave range can go so low he blows speakers or sky high from Nederland, Texas Austin Brown: High Tenor ( Long wavy hair )( 37 ) voice of an angel from Tifton Georgia. Adam Chance(Aka Chance):Baritone/Bass ( 39 ) deep, rich voice(Does the juice harp sound in Man Of Constant Sorrow) has short dark hair short beard from Baldwin County, Alabama. Replaced Chris Rupp ( Adams Brother and co founder in 2016) They have collaborated with many singers and legends Don McLean: American Pie Oak Ridge Boys: Elvira Kenny Rodgers: Children Go Where I Send Thee (Please watch the end message) Billy Gilman: One Voice Alabama: Christmas In Dixie Mark Wills: Don’t Laugh At Me ( important message at the end ) Lee Greenwood & US Airforce Band: God Bless The USA Any many more. They have 3 amazing songwriters in the group Tim, Austin and Chance So they have a very large playlist of covers and original songs End of the Road (Boyz 2 Men cover ) When A Loves A Woman Helplessly Hoping (5 part harmony masterpiece ) Unchained Melody Butts Medley/ Remix Listen To The Music Can’t Outrun You Brothers In Arms Stargazer Trilogy( All Originals written by Austin) Give Me A Sign ( Chapter 1) Stargazer Lilies( Chapter 2) MR (Chapter 3) Skull And Bones ( original written by Chance for Ubisoft new video game Skull And Bones) Might As Well Be Me ( Original) Playing With Fire ( Original) Remember My Name (Original) Oh Pretty Woman Life Is A Highway Stand By Me Cruise I Want Crazy Christmas In LA ( Newest Release Mayday(DON’T WATCH TILL YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE GROUP AND THEIR RANGES ) There's not a song that you pick from their 200+ catalog that is bad I haven't found one yet. They are just funny, down to earth, humble really nice guys. They are the best A Cappella group there is IMO Sorry for the long read
Home Free was my first post-pandemic concert and the first concert EVER for my (then) young teenagers. Yes, they do live-loop the "jaw harp/digeridoo" and some of the drum track and "dom, dom, doo" background vocals to free them up for singing and "harmonica".
Fun reaction ! Subbed for more Home Free! For some variety in their work, try 'Helplessly Hoping', 'Champaign Taste on a Beer Budget', 'In the Blood', 'Sea Shanty Medley', 'When a Man Loves a Woman', 'End of the Road' and 'Brothers in Arms' - just to suggest a few. These guys can do any genre, and they do it with excellence every time.
They do use a looper on a few of their songs in concert to layer voices as necessary. Completely transparent about it. They show laying down each layer before starting the song and Adam (beatboxer) controls the looper during the song. Very few, if any, other effects tho.
beatboxing while commanding a looper is a whole other level of talent, my goodness
They also use a click-track in their earpieces to hold the correct pace.
Somewhere on YT, there's a video of Adam Rupp onstage doing all his vocal effects live. You'd enjoy it, I think.
Austin is from Georgia or Alabama and is leaning heavy into his southern roots with those rolling r's. Love it.
Tim is from South Texas
Austin is from Georgia, Chance from Alabama, Adam and Rob from Minnesota.
Excellent reaction. There is nothing done to enhance any of their voices. No autotune. They do record layers on some of their songs but they are all pure vocals. Look for "Adam Rupp Drum Solo. You will see the beat boxers talent. And the more you investigate them the more you'll get hooked. They are even better live. I've seen them 4 times.
This is a great place to start with Home Free.... If you follow up on them, hold on to your headphones: You ain't heard nuthin yet! Welcome to the Home Fries reactions group.
In this video, I believe he DID use a looper to keep the beat going through the harmonica part, but I saw it live and one of the other band mates picked up the percussion through it. I'll leave you to guess which one did.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole they have over 300 videos on TH-cam they do all kinds of music enjoy the ride and us home fries will be with you ❤️
If you liked Austin's voice (Lead Singer in this song) then you REALLY ought to listen to their cover of When A Man Loves A Woman. Each member was recorded from different studios during COVID, and Austin was singing to his wife (off-camera). The vocal control in that one is in the stratosphere!
That may not be a Country release but I don't know of anything more beautiful. Austin is a phenomenal tenor!!
Yes you are correct Adam Rupp Beatboxer explains in concerts the looper. He shows the audience how he will lay down the drums recording. And play it back so he can add other sounds. But all five of them have at least one beatbox sound they can make. In this track Adam Chance is playing the mouth harp (Digeridoo) you can see at the end of the video.😊
You need to go ahead NOW and get your tickets to see them live as this is Austin's last concert tour with them. He is leaving in the fall, so after that it will be who ever they replace him with. I have tickets for April and cannot wait! Thanks for your reaction!
i dont go to shows, no time no money lol. but I hope you have an amazing time at their show in April ❤️
Great reaction. I definitely want to see more.
Ms FAR,
Thank you for sharing this with me, I’ve been a Homefrye for years now, and it’s always fun to have new people come aboard the HF express (choo-choo). Loved the original when I heard on o brother where art thou. HF made it better. They have lots of great music, I’ll subscribe for more. You may also want to check out Pentatonix, the class of the genre. Brilliant is just one word, that barely scratches the surface. They have three Grammys(and counting) , and 20million subscribers on TH-cam alone.
Keep going with Home Free. You have a HUGE catalogue to work through and will love every minute of it!
Yes they do use a looper, I just saw them in concert tonight.
Adam Rupp (the beatbooxer) does not use filters, and to prove it, there are two videos on here (TH-cam) with him doing drum solo's. In fact, we're going to see them again tonight at the Majestic Theater in Stafford, Tx.
jealous!!🙂
All your questions will be answered if you stick with these guys. There is video also of them "live" on stage. They are primarily a "show band". They won the TV show "The Sing Off" around 2013. They also started writing their own music which you will hear from time to time. They have been around for 24 yrs but the members have changed with another change coming up as Austin prepares to leave near the end of the year. They seem to be well rounded and versatile. They get along with each other well. I always look forward to hearing their music. They usually put something out on TH-cam about every two weeks. They are also on other platforms. They have a great sense of humor and don't take themselves too seriously.
Love your reaction. I love Home Free. They were on tour through my hometown last year and i missed it dang it. They have a bunch of really good videos. You'll become a Home Fry.
Yes, welcome to Home Free, all acapella, no instruments at all. Masters of all musical genres. They won the 4th season of the Sing Off in 2013. Their covers are upgrades, their medleys are brilliant, their collaborations with the original artists are inspirational, and their original songs are masterpieces. Within this 5 man vocal band you have 5 tenors, 5 beat boxers, and 2 bass-baritones. All of them can sing lead and they choose depending on whose voice best fits the song. They can do just about anything and they continue to grow and improve, yet they remain so humble. When they have featured guest artist, they support and allow their featured artists to shine. Several of them have their own channels and do some solo work. And just for fun Rob and Austin sing Opera. What else can I say? Their catalogue of work is quite large and continues to grow. To see a good quality live performance check out their official live video of their Sea Shanty Medley. Also there is is a live Adam Rupp, beat boxing video. This is usually included in every live performance. You are in for an exciting journey and the Home Fries will be there for you all the way.
I would only add that a review of their ranges would show at least 4 members capable of covering the full baritone range and 3 (both Adams and Tim) able to cover the full bass range. Both Adam Rupp and Tim have blown speakers at the lower end of their ranges.
Excellent reaction you will be blown away with their many songs they do in all genres even one opera later girl.❤️😎🇺🇸
Just subscribed with hopes for more Home Free. They are the absolute best! They do a huge variety of music and each have a very impressive vocal range. They will make you dance, cry and fall out of your seat laughing . They have great personalities and sense of humor and are genuinely good people. The bass, Tim, has a 5 + octave range and the beatboxer, Adam, is freaking awesome. Thanks for the Home Free reaction.
I believe this is stacked vocals. Adam (the beatboxer) does use a looper live on some songs. The looper is just recorded snippets of his vocalizations though. The only compression is from the microphone which he doesn't change.
The ladies always love the bass. :)
Great reaction! I see a new Home Fry coming up over the horizon,
You can find several live performances mostly recorded on cell phone however.
The exception is ‘Sea Shanty Medley’ live. It’s professionally recorded at a concert with about 5000 people in attendance. Pure magic!! ❤

Great reaction! Subscribed for more Home Free!
Subbing for more Home Free. Enjoyed your reaction.
In regards to that "R" at the end of words, 1. Austin is a Georgia boy with an accent, 2. only in country music genre is the strong "R" sound used at the end of a word. In any other music genres, it's a big no-no (as you pointed out). Home Free, in non-country songs, will sing them correctly without that troublesome R. 😊
The instrument sound at the beginning is called a Mouth Harp or Juice Harp and is being done by Chance in back wearing the black vest, beside Adam Rupp the main beat boxer. Plus at least
2 other members can beat box as well.
Jew’s Harp - not juice harp.
You've just stumbled upon the best....look up their live performance of Sea Shanty Medley...make sure its the live performance not just the original one. To also some of their versatility, check out their video for their original song SKULL & BONES.
0:30 "A quick Google search can take you down that journey." Oh, you are going down a journey called the Home Free rabbit hole!
Home Free is amazing. Adam, the beatboxer, is a freak of nature as the boys call him. He was doing the drums, harmonica and other sounds. Chance, back left, was doing the mouth harp (didgeridoo) sound. Austin (lead here) does hard r sounds as he’s southern and two other boys are southern too. They don’t have a lead singer and they sing all genres of music. They also write and sing their own music too. Their newest one is Any Way the Wind Blows and it’s original. 🤩😄
Can't recommend just one: For harmony, Seven Bridges Road; My Country 'Tis of Thee, another favorite.
They definitely used a looper in various ways. You hear the beatbox rhythm continue while Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, is 'playing' harmonica (often referred to as 'nomonica'). The others can beatbox, but Adam is so much better and it continues in this perfectly from the prior rhythm he produced. The ostinato ("dop dop") is from Rob Lundquist (overalls and big beard) and continues while he sings his lines. They show in live shows how they put that riff on the looper and continue it so he can do other stuff. The 'digeridoo' - which in the USA, especially the southeast, is taken for being an instrument called a jaw harp (a/k/a Jews harp or juice harp) - is done by Adam Chance (called Chance to differentiate from Adam Rupp, who was already there when Chance joined) using the Mongolian throat singing technique, but it is very hard on his throat, so the looper is used.
Seen them live three times Adam Rupp used to not have a looper the first time I seen them but he uses one now. But he makes all the sounds and loops whatever he needs in live performance. Its still all live every bit of it. Nothing pre-recorded and looped. And he does that no monica live! Sounds just like a harmonica. They are a fantastic group. Unfortunately Austin Brown the one that carried most of the lead in this song is leaving his full time roll to be at home more and start a family. Us Homefries are supportive of that and we know they will with his help find someone great to replace him. Hopefully the video you watched was better quality then the one we seen so you could see who was doing what. Great rabbit hole to dive down you will not be disappointed, will love Homefree, and will be a honorary Homefry soon!
That is just Adam Rupp doing his thing, best bebox vocals ever, and his nomonica is untouchable.
Only in the last couple of years the beatboxer has started using a looper. He has 3 videos of him doing a solo, the latest one shows him using the looper.
If you're not busy this weekend.....MARRY ME ! ♥
Just scrolling and came across your reaction to Home Free and subscribed. love these guys! I doubt you will find any better sounding harmonies than these guys!❤
#HOMEFREE....so unique!
Couple of additional recommendations from the group - "Ring of Fire" and "Butts Remix" (yes, it's a remix of butt-related songs). And then check out "Misty Mountains" (from the Hobbit) done by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust (Foust is the bass singer).
Sincere reaction.
If you get to hear their 50th anniversary of American Pie with Don McLean (he asked them to do it with him) Adam the beat boxer had to sustain it for 6 minutes and almost passed out. He's that good! Also, Elvira with the Oak Ridge Boys Adam throws down a drum set master class. Well worth checking out.
On TH-cam you can find Adam Rupp the beatboxer mouthing a drum solo.
very cool, I got your video suggested. My nephew was a singer with Range a cappella that sang at The 2015 Academy Awards. It has been a while since then but we were so excited that he accomplished it. They performed "Oscars Medley - RANGE [E! Live from the Red Carpet at 2015 Academy Awards]". He did some plays on Broadway but has since moved to Oregon and lives a quiet life.. He is the 'beat box' guy
Adam is the man and sure they mix the heck out of this, but hearing him in person is jaw dropping to me anyhow.
That sound you hear in the very beginning is Adam Chance vocalizing a Jaw Harp, not a didgeridoo.
This is an Acapella group, no instruments!!❤❤
Home Free is great! My tastes lean to Pentatonix as the best a capella in the world at the moment. But you can't go wrong with either one. You have opened a box with a ton of great music.
If you want to REALLY hear what the can do, check out How Great Thou Art sung in Kearny MO on 6/17/17. The concert got ended early by a thunderstorm, but the guys gave the crowd huddled under a pavilion one last song. No mics, no amps, just 5 guys on a picnic table accompanied by Mother Nature.
That first sound is a JEWS HARP/Mouth harp. Everyone gets it wrong. And that sound is not done by the beat boxer. It is done by the last man you see when the video is ending.
thank you for telling me 🙂
Seen them live a few times, they are by far my favorite group. They are fantastic in person and just make music special
check out their Sea Shanty original video from during lockdown...then check out the official live video to see them doing it live....he used to do an old school drum solo during concerts but yes, he uses a looper (not a drum pad) to loop his drum vocals for layering.
I'm sure this is already covered, but...
Adam Rupp (back row, in suspenders) is the primary percussionist. There are some vids of him on stage, live, doing fantastic stuff. But even he can't do fake drums, fake harmonica and animal sounds all at the same time. So for this song in concert, they do use a looping machine.
Adam Chance (other side of the back row) is doing other effects for this song, including the jaw harp. Ordinarily, he's the baritone and backup bass.
Adam Rupp does use a looper for certain things (I've seen them in concert), but he sounds exactly a drum kit and a harmonica (nomonica). Watch one of Adam's drum solo videos...truly amazing.
Ok, so this music video has several layers to it. So, it isn't a loop box for the studio recording. But when they sing live they do use a loop box for the jaw harp, the "dab dab do" and some of the beatboxing while the harmonica part is playing. But you see it when they add it in at the very beginning of the song. It's quite masterful. There are a couple of videos showing the beatboxer's, Adam Rupp, skills. One doesn't have anything but a mic. And the other is with the use of the loopbox. Both are amazing.
Can't believe that Austin is leaving Home Free in the fall.
Home Free is an utterly amazing group of guys, and this song is like a Gateway drug to all their goodness! Adam (the beatboxer) is a phenomenon in his own right and each of the vocalists will blow you away as you explore the group's catalog of offerings. Welcome to Home Free and may they delight you and your channel for a long while to come :D
You really need to watch Adam Rupp the beat boxer from Home Free do his drum solo, pretty unbelievable, should blow your socks off. Cheers and a great reaction video. Love Australia
Thanks!
so many great groups out there that people know about now. And should be listening to all of them! Voiceplay, Home Free, Pentatonix, the Nigerian guys Vocamonix, and many others.
I have seen them in concert 5 times now. no affects just them. they are the real thing.
A couple of little points just to help out. That sound NOT being played on a harmonica is what they call a "nomonica". Adam Rupp, the percussionist (beat boxer), actually learned in originally from Tim Foust the Bass that I think you remember. As for the beat boxing as this is a studio track there may be a looper being used as one is used in live concerts as well.
To get a little idea of what Adam Rupp can do check this out sometime if you wish.
(this is from 8 years ago)
th-cam.com/video/EanKWLUaDpg/w-d-xo.html
Home Free. With this song, they've turned me into a man of constant listening.
Adam does use a looper for live shows. The audio behind this video in particular is multi track recordings that have been mixed, as you may have noticed that the drums continued suring the "nomonica" lines. But his beat boxing if freakisly good without need for added effects.
A possible next video is "How Great Thou Art", in which all five sing with no beat boxing. You will be amazed at all of them as you get to know them better.
Jaw harp, not digerie doo.
You mean pronounce final R sounds like the average American, rather than the pseudo poshness of, say Boston?
I saw them live last night in concert and, yes, the beatboxer does use a looper to layer the vocals and some vocal percussion sounds. They used 5 microphones and speakers on the stage. The bass was rumbling us in the seats. They are amazing live. When they performed this live the lead singer in this. Austin, joined in doing the "nomonica" sound. They also mashed up this song with their version of Folsom Prison Blues. It was so stinken cool!
Couple of things: Us aficionados call ourselves, "Home Fries", from their time on the Sing Off. Also, Tim (the bassist) has a freaky range. Take a look at, "All About That Bass" for an example. Just make sure to watch the original video first; they parody it pretty well.
Others have probably already begun this "education", but... The man that had most of the leads in this is Austin Brown (who is about to leave the group). You should definitely check out their cover of "When A Man Loves A Woman". I would also recommend their cover of "Ring of Fire" featuring Avi Kaplan (the former bass singer from Pentatonix). Home Free's bass singer, Tim Foust, has done several collaborations with other a capella artists (Peter Hollens, Voiceplay, and The Bass Gang). Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, has been "accused" of having swallowed a drum kit in his youth. In this, you got to hear his "no-monica". 😉
On the Sing-Off, one of the judges Shawn Stockman said it best to Austin: "Austin, listen, your voice is as smooth as butter." . True, but I've never heard butter growl. 🙂
They do use a looper but not to alter the sound, it's only used to keep the beat going during the harmonica solo. They also loop the jaw harp sound "digeridoo".
I have heard people say, that YES, they do use a looper sometimes. But from what I know, a looper does NOT change or make a sound. It just records it and repeats it. The sound was made by Adam. And they SHOW the audience him setting up the looper. So they know that he (Adam) make the sounds. And, like you said, if I am wrong, tell me. Great Post, by the way., And the Harmonica sounds, He calls that the No-Monica. LOL.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. It runs very deep. They do not have a bad song. Check out When a Man Loves a Woman, and Hill Billy Bone. There are so many, anymore. By the Beat Boxer is so very talented. We Home Fries call it the No Monica. Love your reaction! ♥
Not a didgeridoo, the instrument that Adam was emulating is a Jews Harp or a Jaw Harp. The Jaw Harp is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
Welcome to the Home Free party. Adam Rupp's beatboxing does sound just like that live. Simply amazing. He does use a looper to allow him to doubletrack in some instances during the live show and they may doubletrack him on studio recordings, too, but he is that talented. There is a very good professional video of their Sea Shanty Medley in which you see Adam using the looper. There are also quite a few videos of his "drum solo" in concert where you can see that he does make all those sounds unassisted. Enjoy the ride.
Me and the wife saw em live a few years back. Awesome and funny live.
Adam Rupp is the Beat-Boxer. Check out his "Drum Solo" at one of Home Free's Performances.
Check out their cover of Brothers in Arms. Watch once for the visuals, again for the voices, and yet again for the symbolism harping bace to when groups of men first threw rocks at other groups.
When they are live, Adam uses a looper on this song, just because there are too many sounds for one person to make at a time. I have seen them live twice and it was awesome both times.
Another popular song they do is Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash). They have so many great videos (over 200 I believe) that you couldn't miss reacting to ANY of them. Weldome to the rabbit hole...
Nice comments on the looper. They do use one in concert for this song live to get it started. The mouth harp sound hurts Chance's throat and Rob's doh doh doos are of course looped. And yes they probably did use one for Adam the beat boxer's beat to let him do the nomonika or they just layered another track of him. And yes there are at least 8 or 9 tracks total. But every sound you hear is one of their voices and yes, Adam (the beatboxer) is just that good! That's for sharing! Your rapid fire comments are awesome!
Welcome to the wonderful world of accapella. There are three premier groups .. Pentatonix (pop, originals, and Christmas songs), Home Free (country, ballads, originals and comedy), and Voiceplay (show tunes, theatrical productsions). All are fantastic and different from each other ....... have fun going down this unbelievable rabbit hole !!
If you continue to react to Home Free, us Home Fries will flock to your channel.
Try "Sea Shanty medley
" live- it shows Adam running the looper, and the massive crowds they draw.
such an extremely talented group of guys who are their own instruments that are producing that clean and strong american bluegrass sound the only things i don't hear is a honky tonk piano and banjos influence thick and rich like molasses
Home Free has a video of their drum solo you should check out to see how real it truly is. Watch the one where the beat boxer is wearing a red flannel shirt
The base singer is on a TH-cam video called “Timgasms” . Great video
