    This is absolutely fabulous. The lead singer on this song is Austin Brown , high tenor who has a degree in theater arts. He was sing this to his girlfriend at the time and they are now married. Tim is their bass singer who ha s a 5 octive level of singing. Chance is their baritone, bass singer. Rob is a tenor and Adam is their beat boxer. There isn't anything that they can't sing. You should hear two country boys sing Nessum Dormer. It is amazing.It is sung by Austin Brown and Rob Lindquist who also has degree in theater arts and has had opera training. You will be blown away.

    His name is Austin Brown. Yes, he was raised in the church, so has a gospel background. He also studied musical theatre, there are videos of him singing Bring Him Home from Les Miserable out there. He has his own channel where he releases his solo work, both covers and originals. For something different, you might watch his solo video of a song he wrote about the work ethic he was raised with called Earn It.
    Oh, there’s also a great story out there about how Austin ended up in Home Free. The group has existed for over twenty years. Basically, Home Free was playing a concert when Austin was working the cruise ships. One of Austin’s coworkers knew some Home Free guys and warned them about this really excitable guy who was coming to the concert. Sure enough, Austin was so blown away by Tim Foust (the bass) in particular, that he swore then and there he HAD to be in Home Free one day. The rest is history!

  • @Beana10

    Austin Brown was working (singing) on a cruise ship where Home Free was also performing. He told them he would like to sing with them and the opportunity came about where the lead tenor was out for a week. He filled in for him and then the lead tenor retired and Austin took over. The rest is history.

    Here are a few that will take you a little further into the rabbit hole: Take Me Home Country Roads, Blue Ain’t Your Color, My Church, When You Walk In, I Can’t Outrun You, Love Train, End Of the Road, Hillbilly Bone, In The Blood… Who Am I kidding, you could choose anything and it would be phenomenal. My only recommendation is hold off on reacting to “Mayday” until you’ve reacted to at least 10 of their other songs and know all of their names. I’ve been waiting for another Home Free reaction for a while so I’m so glad you made your way back to them. Also, their original songs are amazing too so give “Dive Bar Saints” a listen too. The rabbit hole is deep, wide, and filled with pure joy.

    The Rob Squad is my favorite reaction site because they are down to earth and unlike most others, do not overreact to what they are listening to. It is funny, and I guess amusing, that what Amber wanted to say was that she didn't think this kind of emotion could come from a white singer. Happens all the time. No one has a monopoly on emotion folks. Great video.

    Austin Brown is one of the very best singers I have ever heard in my entire life. Home Free is also very, very supportive of reaction channels. If you reach out to him he'll give you an interview. I've seen him do full 1 hour interviews on other channels. As far as taking you to church, they literally do that on several of their videos. The best one in my opinion is How Great Thou Art, and they have a version of Amazing Grace that is spectacular.

    tenor is beautiful! Tim’s bass is awesome too! But he’s able to sing effortlessly in a vocal range and Tims from South East Texas. Adam the beatboxer and his brother Chris (no longer singing with the group) started the group. Rob is equally awesome and he can produce beautiful soulful songs too! Adam chance sings bass to tenor but not as wide a vocal range as Tim! When they sing together, the harmonies are always tight and clear! Those tight harmonies are what give us all excited chills

    The original recording of "When a Man Loves a Woman" was in 1966 by Percy Sledge. I just realized you haven't reacted to Percy Sledge yet! One of the greatest R & B and Soul singers EVER! starting in 1960 until his passing 7 years ago. Just a sample of his gajillion hits: "Out of Left Field", "It Tears Me Up", "Cover Me", "Warm and Tender Love", "Take Time to Know Her".

    Love Austin Brown and he does this song more than justice. However the original by PERCY SLEDGE, released in 1966 was a huge hit on the POP charts AND R&B charts and the soul he put into it can't be matched. Percy and his band mates wrote this after his girl left him. One of the most perfect songs ever written and I bet most men can relate to the song. You should listen to the original official audio version of this classic.

    I love you guys!! I’m a Home Fry and they are beyond all words! His name is Austin Brown and he is phenomenal. They all are… every one of them are the very best at what they do. Their bass, Tim Foust breaks speakers because he goes so low. I call him a dragon. The beat boxer, Adam Rupp is just barely human! No body can do what he does, nobody. Adam Chance’s voice sounds like chocolate, liquid warmth… and Rob Lundquist is a beautiful tenor that’s like honey. There is nothing like them.
    Do “Cover Me Up” or “Hillbilly Bone “ or “Butts Remix” 🐝❤️🤗

    five vocalists, Austin Brown, Rob Lundquist, Adam Rupp, Tim Foust, and Adam Chance. Starting as a show group, they toured around 200 shows a year across the United States. The group competed in and won the fourth season of The Sing-Off on NBC in 2013.

    Oh yes, they rotate lead singers. They are all wonderful! "Butts Remix" is hilarious, definitely check that one out. They also did a wonderful version of "Ring of Fire", "Love Train," "Some Girls Do," and so many others. You can't go wrong with Home Free. Austin Brown sings lead on this one. He has his own TH-cam channel and his version of Etta James' "At Last" is incredibly beautiful. Tim Foust (the deep bass), does a duet of "Misty Mountains" with Peter Hollens that will blow you away. The last note on that song sounds like it came from deep within the earth.

      Tami Simkins That is known as basso profundo - it may also be heard in some Russian Orthodox choir pieces where the bass goes so low that it doesn't sound human. The voice is the first musical instrument to ever exist, and according to Orthodox Christian tradition the most perfect instrument with which to praise God - unaccompanied by anything else.

    Austin blew this out of the water! Home Free found Austin working as an entertainer on a cruise ship (background in musical theatre) and asked him to join their group - so glad they did! His voice is amazing. You have to listen to some of his solo stuff but any Home Free song is going to be good. Try their cover of End of the Road, or Blue Aint Your Colour, or My Church, or Crazy, or their mash up of Thinking out loud/Let's get it on. To see their more humourous side, check out their Butts Remix or All about that Base. It wont matter what you pick, you will be impressed either way. They are amazingly talented.

That one has Austin Brown and Tim Foust on someones back porch along with a few other musicians. very low tech and chill, but is just gold! You owe it to yourselves as Homefries to give them a listen. Love the channel and what you two are doing on it - Thanks!

      They were on the deck of Austin's house. He built the deck himself. The other musicians are all highly respected: Chris Chatham, voice and guitar. Sebastien Douyon, keys and Austin's producer, and Chris Marion, bass, Tim's BIL. They made some more awesome recordings the same day: Signed Sealed Delivered and an incredible cover of Neon Moon (Austin solo).

    Some other songs that I HIGHLY recommend you check out by Home Free are "Butts Medley", "My Church" and for Christmas time, "Do You Hear What I Hear". A solo song from Austin Brown (the lead in this video) that I think you guys would flip over is "At Last" where he sings the song in the same key in which Etta James sang it. All of these guys can and do sing lead in different songs. It just depends on whose voice is more suited to the arrangement. Adam Rupp (the beatboxer) doesn't like the limelight and it's very rare to hear him sing, although he sounds like an angel when he does.

    Please don’t wait so long to react to more Home Free!!! Others have listed their many hits but my favorite is “Crazy,” a remake of the Patsy Cline song. They are phenomenal and hearing their version never tears me away from loving the original. In fact, they usually perform hits as an homage to the original singers such as End of the Road (masterful), American Pie with the original writer/singer, Don McLean, and Blue Ain’t Your Color with their own twist. They have a lot of dedicated fans who follow them and their reactors!

    There is no such thing as a "bad or mediocre" Home Free song. Their songs are more like "excellent to outstanding". They run the gambit in covers and even some originals. My list of outstanding ones would include "End of the Road", "Mayday", "American Pie" featuring the OG himself, Don Mclean, "Elvira" featuring the Oak Ridge Boys. When Christmas gets closer, "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" again featuring the Oak Ridge Boys "O Holy Night", "Warmest Winter". They are especially good with comedic songs, "Butts Remix", "Champaign Taste on a Beer Budget", "Sea Shanty Medley", and "Never Gonna Give You Up" just to name a few. Looking forward to your next Home Free reaction, whatever it may be.
