Man of Constant Sorrow is a really good one if you want real country music. Covers Tim's really low voice as well as beatboxing. Another good advice if you only want low notes is Misty mountains Tim does with another artist. That is what I call low notes.
The biggest rule for going down the Home Free rabbit hole is to save "Mayday" for when you KNOW the guys and their usual roles. If you do this, the "Mayday ready" experience is INCREDIBLE.
Tim Faust, the bass, collaborated with Peter Hollens to do "misty mountains" Tim, does what Tim does best and it shows his bass notes extremely well...
Well, lessee... Home Free has been around for 20 years. Founded by Chris and Adam Rupp of Minnesota. I think the group copied the name of their dad's boat. Rob Lundquist is also from Minnesota. Other current and former members tend to be from the South. The group hit it big around 2013 when they won a TV singoff the year after Pentatonix won it. Tenor 1 is Austin Brown. Tenor 2 is Rob Lundquist (beard and glasses). Beatbox is Adam Rupp. There's live vids where he can imitate a whole drum set. Tenor/Baritone was Chris Rupp (cowboy hat in the vid). He resigned from the group a few years ago. Now does solo work, and works with the 7th Avenue Band with his sister Tristin and some rotating guest artists. He was replaced by Adam Chance, who is just called Chance to avoid confusion with the other Adam. Low bass is Tim Foust. You heard him hit a G1 at the end of this vid. In the live TV contest that they originally created this song arrangement for, he did it as an F#1. "How Great Thou Art" and other spirituals will show you their straightforward voices. They've recorded songs along with Kenny Rogers and with The Oak Ridge Boys. "Man of Constant Sorrow" will give you a chance to hear everyone isolated. "Mayday" will also give you a chance to hear isolation vocals, and there's stuff they do there that's a departure from their normal roles. (We're not supposed to give it away to new reactors. You'll have to see.) "Misty Mountains Cold" by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust will give you another shot at Tim's low range. Since you like low bass singers with wide ranges, at some point you'll also have to check out Geoff Castellucci and the group Voiceplay. It's a job requirement, not an option. :) A good start would be the cover of "Oogie Boogie's Song" for the whole group, and the cover of Paul McCartney's "Blackbird" For Geoff as a multitracked soloist. He gets down to an E1 in both of those.
That's pretty much everything that I wanted to say, so thanks. :-) The only thing I'd add is Tim Foust's collaboration with the Hound + The Fox on "We Three Kings" - he sings a connected melody down low, rather than just "bomb" notes. th-cam.com/video/eEtUGgBwzEM/w-d-xo.html
@@MissMeganFriday As A thought you need to check out Chevel Sheppard's song "the letter" A young girl asked her to write a song about her mom...just wow...
you wanna see rob (guy in glasses) do his thing need to check their Boys to Men cover End of the Road. these guys dont just do country they cover pop, R&B, country, etc. Tim the bass has a 5 octave range.
Dear Megan, they have so much. They sang this on the show Sing Off the season after Pentatonix was on and the last note from Tim was even deeper than here. You should react to the first song of theirs that I reacted to which is the music video for Man Of Constant Sorrow. You can hear every one of them. By the way, the Beatboxer Adam Rupp has won the world championship competition 2 times. The Bass Tim Foust has a 5 octave range compared to Dimash's 7. The lead is Austin For a FUN song you should react to The Butts Remix. They also have a number of songs from their individual homes including one called Quarantine. You may have to watch that a number of times to see all of the funny things including when one coughs and the words on the screen. They also have a number of songs for Christmas time. You should react to Peter Hollens (He is an Acapella group by himself who does collaborations with others) and Home Free Amazing Grace. There are a LOT MORE but these will get you started. 🎶👱♀️👗👠👠💓
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole :) The Home Fries, as we fans of Home Free are called will be here soon. Other covers of theirs to check out are : the gospel hymn How Great thou Art, Ed Sheeran's Castle on the Hill, Blue Ain't your Color a Keith Urban song, their cover of John Denver's Country Roads is unlike anything you've ever heard before, and you'll hear Rob (big guy with glasses clearly in that one, Sawyer Brown's Some Girls Do, and my favorite cover they've done, Thomas Rhett's Die A Happy Man. it's ultra romantic. but also highly recommended - My Church, End of the Road, and a few of their originals.... Dive Bar Saints, When you walk in & Why Not ?
I see that many of the "Home Fries" have recommended many of Home Free's songs (they have over a hundred on TH-cam) but just for fun, you should also watch some of their live performances, especially when they go off-script or just plain old mess up. Some suggested ones are "Storytime with Tim" (especially the Whip/Nae Nae one), the "Guilty Pleasures" ones, and the "Colder Weather" one where Austin forgets the words. Most of these are "fan cams" and some are not great quality, but the humor and good time had by the group make up for most of it. There are also many collaborations with other groups/individuals by one or all of them and their wives and friends. A beautiful one is "Proud To Be An American" with the songwriter Lee Greenwood and the USAF band "The Singing Sergeants".
Home Free bass singer Tim Foust is a close friend of Avi's. Tim can hit those low growl bass notes with ease, and he actually gave Avi some lessons on that which actually helped Avi's own range get more diverse. I always loved the visual in this video at the very end, after Tim hits that low note, where you can see a smiling Avi take off his signature beanie and replace it with the cowboy hat! Avi was soon to reach a point in his life where he would go thru a lot of personal issues that led to his eventual departure from Pentatonix, so just seeing him enjoying himself in this collaboration with his friend does my old heart good. Avi is a really decent guy who didn't deserve all the negativity he would soon have to deal with.
Loved the reaction. There is a cameo in the video for the Home Free original "Champaign Taste on a Beer Budget". Check out the mechanical bull at the end of the video. Asking who the leader is for Home Free is kind of like asking who the leader of Pentatonix is - there really isn't one. The group included brothers Adam Rupp (world class beatboxer) and Chris Rupp (who's also in this video). Chris left the group amicably and has a solo career. He was replaced by Adam Chance (who goes by "Chance" to avoid confusion with Adam Rupp). Home Free was the winner of the singing competition show "The Sing Off" the year after Pentatonix won it and launched their rise to fame. I've heard they adopted the country genre as a recommendation from the producers of that show and it's done them well but, they cover a whole lot of other genres as well. They're obviously friendly with Pentatonix as well as the band Voiceplay (who I'm sure you'll get around to as well) and there are some videos out comparing the bass singers of the 3 groups to see who can go lowest by showing clips from various performances.. This group has a lot of fun in some of their videos (like the one mentioned above). Another of their most-loved videos is "Man of Constant Sorrow" where you can see Adam Chance. When you watch that one, just keep reminding yourself that all the sounds are made by the people. You'll hear things and say "nuh uh". After that, I'm sure you'll get a list of songs from other fans (known as "home fries").
If you enjoy Avi Kaplan you should check out some of his solo stuff. He's put out an album recently with all original stuff. Lots of good listening there
They're cover of "End of the Road" is unbelievable! I honestly might like it as much if not more then the original! And Rob (Guy with the Beard) kills the lead!
So glad you liked them. They're a great bunch of guy's who really love what they do. They're all good friends and most of the time of there are extras it's family and friends. They can sing anything from humorous, serious, pop, soul of gospel. For a contrast try comparing these three. For humor try Champagne on a Beer budget....little cameo in that onne. For serious try Helplessly Hoping originally by Crosby, Stills and Nash. For gospel try How Great Thou Art. Earlier videos have Chris Rupp with them ... Cowboy hat. He left to pursue other things and Adam Chance aka Chan joined as baritone/bass usually ball cap. Enjoy. Thanks for a great reaction. God bless and stay safe
Welcome to Home Free. They are amazing. You'll like them all, but let me suggest, Seven Bridges Road, My Church, Take Me Home Country Roads, and Love Train. Just to name a few.
Check out their cover of How Great Thou Art, shot in the Austrian Alps with a lot of drone shots. The song and the visuals are stunning. I also recommend the a capella group Voctave, start off with their Disney Love Medley, featuring Kirstin from PTX and her then-fiancee. And Voiceplay, maybe start out with their cover of the Oogie Boogie Song. (Their bass, Geoff Castelucci, will blow you away)
After this one, my next two favorites are "Man of Constant Sorrow" and "Fulsom Prison Blues". Pentatonix and Home Free are very good friends. The both won a season of The Sing Off.
Tim Foust's range is usually listed as A0-A5, with rumors that he can go even lower; "Honey, I'm Good" showcases tenor Rob Lundquist (dark beard); Austin Brown was the tenor soloist in this song. Beatboxer and founding member Adam Rupp only sings very short solos but does sing harmony parts when beatboxing is inappropriate; Adam Chance joined the group after this video came out, and is listed as the baritone because he can "only" get down to A1. Chance is the lead on "Cover Me Up," and successfully proposed to his girlfriend at the end of the video.
For some Rob's whistle (the guy with the beard) and Tim's (the bass) vocals : "My baby got champagne taste" For a good mash-up of their voices and incredible beatbox by Adam Rupp : "Man of Constant Sorrow" For a wonderful adaptation with really good solo from both bass Tim Foust and Adam Chance : "Folsom Prison Blue" For some Yodel from Austin Brown (The one you said should be lead singer) : "Thanks god I'm a country boy" For really funny videos with a good mashup of all their talents : "All about that bass", "Honey I'm good" and "Hillbilly Bone" For mashups : "The Butts remix" and "country fried pop medley" And outside of Home Free, Tim Foust's collabs with Peter Hollens are ALL good. ALL ! MUST SEE ! And if you want a bit of fun with a ton of Bass, "22 times Tim Foust went subwoofer mode"
You have not heard Tim Faust sing low yet. He can get nearly an octave lower than he does in this song. You'll love "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Misty Mountains". Still not his lowest, but by far his best for clarity when going low. As for Avi, you should really check out his personal channel ("Avi Kaplan" is then name of his channel). Especially "Change on the Rise", not a super low song, but just very well sung. As for PTX, given it is Christmas time again, you should check out "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", Avi hits some deep rich notes and Mitch hits an ear piercing high note that is amazing.
Welcome to Home Free! They are so talented. Try End of the Road or Blue Ain’t you Color if you want to hear Rob, (beard and glasses). Try Folsom Prison Blues, Man of Constant Sorrow to hear more of Tim (super low bass). Austin is the high tenor and has curly reddish hair, Adam is the beatboxer extraordinaire and has blondish hair. And Chris is a tenor (with the cowboy hat). Chris left the group in 2016 and was replaced by Chance who is a baritone/bass. Chance has a 4 octave range. Tim, the bass, has a 5 octave range. He is amazing and actually taught Avi to sing lower. They are both so good. Tim and Avi both collaborated with Peter Hollens, another ‘a cappella’ singer on different songs. Tim does Misty Mountains with Peter and it’s amazing. Avi does Black is the Color of My True Loves Hair with Peter. So beautiful. Home Free won the show Sing Off in 2013 - the year after Pentatonix won. Both are great groups. Keep reacting. Try Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art.
Hello miss Friday the home free songs you should listen too is "MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW" - "FOLSOM PRISON BLUES- THANK GOD IM A COUNTRY BOY-and welcome to being a homefry and I just sub to you can't wait to see you react to more of home free
Home Free bass Tim Foust is on par with Geoff Castellucci of Voiceplay. As formerly recommended you should try "Folsom Prison Blues" by Home Free and "Oogie Boogie's Song" by Voiceplay. If you like a cappella try RARB's (The A Cappella Review Board, www.rarb.org) "Group Of The Decade": Maybebop. They did the "Sound of Silence" too, IMHO better than PTX.
Home Free: Austin: Tenor Rob: Tenor Adam: Beatboxer Chris: Baritone, no longer with the group Adam Chance: Baritone, replaces chris in newer vids (Actually sang bass for a different group) Tim: SUPER Bass. Basso Profundo, the lowest of the lows. But surprisingly (pleasantly) has a well put together upper register for a bass. Tim is very comparable to Geoff Castelluci from Voiceplay (Check out "Blackbird Cover" by Geoff!)
Just an Extra FYI on the Beat Boxer ... Adam "The Freak of Nature" Rupp, was twice voted as Best All-Around Beat Boxer by his Peers at the World Beat Boxing Competition :-D
Shame you did this one first, it would have been nice for you to appreciate Tim's bass before you did this one but that's OK. You need to do Home Free Man of Constant Sorrow next. In that video you will here more of Tim Foust (the bass), Austin Brown, the high tenor who sang in Ring of Fire and you will hear Rob Lundquist , the other tenor and the guy in glasses that you mentioned. The other two members are Adam Rupp, the amazing beat boxer and the newer member to the group Adam Chance (Baritone). You will hear Chance sing when you do their "Mayday" video. After you do Man of Constant Sorrow, I would recommend you do "In The Blood" (cover of John Mayer) a favorite song of mine and then maybe do "Helplessly Hoping" (cover of Crosby, Stills & Nash) short but amazing harmonization. There are ton more and I am sure people will recommend (like "Auld Lang Syne" or their cover of Boyz II Men's "End of the Road")
They cover End of the Road... the guy with the glasses, Rob, will knock your socks off! For more of the bass, Tim, check out their cover of Folsom Prison Blues. For more of the tenor you liked here that has the curly hair you mentioned, Austin, check out their cover of Moonshine.
Please check out Voiceplay with another fantastic bass, Geoff Castellucci. I would recommend the Little mermaid medley and definitely My Mother Told Me ft José Rosario Jr.
Like Pentatonix there is no real "lead" singer to these guys, though Scott kind of is with PTX, Tim (the super bass) kind of is with Home Free. The curly-haired tenor who takes a major part in this song is Austin (We all Loooove him. He's adorable--and single). He's got superb carriage, they can hear him all the way to Estonia I think. the beatboxer/sound effects technician is an alien. Home Free has a number of humorous pieces that are worth hearing but I think some of their best are "In The Blood" "Helplessly Hoping" and "Auld Lang Syne" (you know, the New Year's song).
You really need to explore more Home Free. You've barely seen anything yet. Man of Constant Sorrow Folsom Prison Blues Then when you think you have them all figured out. Mayday Have fun!
New subscriber here! Big fan of Home Free, and the best possible order would be to watch "man of constant sorrow", "folsom prison blues", then "Mayday".
Rob, the guy with the glasses and beard that you wondered about does an awesome job with his version of the Boyz 2 Men classic, "End Of The Road". You can compare to the original to see who does it better! ... Guy
Rob is the one with beard and glasses, their cover of Boys 2 Men End of the Road showcases him pretty well. Also you have to watch their cover of Man of Constant Sorrow from O Brother Where Art Thou movie. Then if you really want to be shocked and Awed by Tim Foust and his vocal range, watch their cover of Cams Mayday, then him and Peter Hollens do Misty Mountains from The Hobbit movie.
Hey Megan I'm new to your channel and love your reaction to Home Free Great job! I agree you should check out their version of "Man Of Constant Sorrow " you'll hear then do different parts of the song! Definitely check it out!
Welcome to Home Free! There are so many good songs to suggest! You have 4 lead singers who switch off here and a really wonderful beat boxer. Try their cover of Meet in the Middle and an original... Catch Me if You Can is one of my favorites. Thanks! ^_^
I watched an interview with Tim Faust (Bass) who indicated he liked singing in the higher octaves, I believe he said he can play with the runs. I'm not a professional either, can't even carry a note if I had a bucket, but love acapella. The bass singers have always be my favorite. Keep it up gurl, I just found your channel two weeks ago and have enjoyed every one of your reactions, mostly due to Dimash ☺
Asam Rupp beatboxer has won a couple of international competitions I believe- go search for his "live" drum solo vids they are friggin awsome, toThere is very little they do that is not amazing so just pick-em as you feel like- they are like Pentatonix in that regard - everything is just great. Know that you are getting hooked with these guys you can now be called a PentaFry (Pentaholic and Homefry). I really look forward to your reaction of these two groups, Andd in Voiceplay and you have The top 3 A Capella groups out there (IMHO). I won't say which one is which in ranking that's personal taste. Welcome to the Rabbit holes...
Hi Megan. Welcome down the Home Free rabbit hole. I think you’ll find you really enjoy this group. They are amazing and funny too. The guy in the glasses is Rob Lundquist. He sings mostly Tenor Harmonies, but he does sing Lead or Co Lead. The Bass is Tim Foust. The beat boxer is Adam Rupp and in the Ring of Fire video, his brother Chris, (Who formed the group in 2000), sings harmonies. He left in 2014 to persue other projects. He was replaced by Adam Chance who sings baritone harmonies. Austin Brown is the Lead Tenor. To hear Rob singing Lead, listen/watch the groups cover of End of the Road by Boys to men. Wait until you’ve watched a few of their videos before you watch their cover of Mayday by CAM. Enjoy. Hope to see more of your reactions.
If you want to see some of Adam's skills at beatboxing do a search for Home Free drum solo as they use it as a way to get a break during live shows and you can get an idea of how much he has improved by finding one from years ago vs one from the last year or so.
you should also look into voiceplay they are another group like ptx and homefree and are really great too, their bass also does solo stuff on his own channel thats really good like the headless horseman song or blackbird
I don't like comparing them for 'who is better'. It's Apples to Oranges. If you LOVE country, listen to Home Free and VoicePlay. If you prefer Pop, listen to Pentatonix. None are 'better' than the other. For me, it depends on the mood I am in to figure out what I am going to listen to.
I sort of agree with James I don't like to compare them. My mood determines who I listen too. I think Pentatonix and Home Free are both outstanding groups, each group is made up of individual outstanding singers that blend together in an other worldly way. I really like some of the things voice play has done, but I rate them just below the other too. Its probably the type music they choose to do that I don't personally care for as much. I have kind of hated Disney songs ever since the summer I worked at one of their theme parks as a Singer.
@@stevenmurphy2445 Oh, NO! I am so sorry... It IS a Summer Job so there will always be young people to do that job. But I have also heard plenty of stories (too many to be refuted) saying that basically, Disney is the devil. Many people who used to work with or for them cannot talk about it. That fact alone speaks volumes about the atmosphere.
Two of the great acapella groups from the singing show “The Sing Off”. There’s one more that’s been gaining a lot of momentum. Voiceplay Start with the Oogie Boogie song and like the other 2 groups u can’t really miss listening to their songs. Geoff Castellucci like Avi and Tim is amazing. U mentioned a bass battle - there is a video featuring all three basses and comparisons of the songs done with their groups.
Not sure exactly what your musical tastes are, but I really love the recent video from Peter Hollens featuring Home Free, covering U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". Best of all worlds, plus a fun surprise...
Those of us who have loved HF take delicious pleasure in watching articulate people "discover" this group. It's like secretly watching a first date! Forgive our voyeurism (though that's the point, isn't it?), but know that you did not disappoint. Wonderful reaction!
For Rob, you absolutely must watch End of the Road, it will make you fall in love with him! Another one of my absolute favorites is Mayday, it's one I watch over and over. Usually I'd recommend that you wait to watch that one until you are a couple videos in and know them a little better (you'll understand why). Blue Ain't Your Color is another one that really shows off all their voices, and it's a fun take on the song. They also have a ton that show off their fun side like Butt's Remix and All About that Bass. And of course, now that it is getting to the holiday season: Do You Hear What I Hear? is brilliantly arranged by Adam Rupp, and filmed miles from where I live in MN, and showcases all their best attributes. My absolute favorite version of this song! Their version of O' Holy Night is absolutely gorgeous. And for the fun side, Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer and Full of Cheer. They are both a blast!
Oh, I can't believe I forgot to mention some of their great "quarantine" videos: Quarantine, Meet in the Middle, Moonshine, Sunday Best and Down to the Honkytonk. They are also some of my favorites, especially since they are such high quality for being across the states and not together.
I am too Joan. I like Homefree, theyre very talented but i just don’t think their arrangements are as strong. Plus, i admitenly am not a huge country music fan anyways. Although, i have to say that their cover of End of the Road was SPECTACULAR.
Their cover of"Man of Constant Sorrow " is a big favorite.
Good call, and it also highlights Rob Lundquist, who she asked about in this video.
Man of Constant Sorrow is a really good one if you want real country music. Covers Tim's really low voice as well as beatboxing. Another good advice if you only want low notes is Misty mountains Tim does with another artist. That is what I call low notes.
Agree
th-cam.com/video/-ew_bfFvros/w-d-xo.html
Agreed! The beatboxer is EPIC in this one!
End of the road, if you want to hear "the bearded wonder".
AKA "Whiskery Soul"
I was going to recommend the same thing to hear a song featuring Rob.
This one is great if you want to hear rob
Or Blue Ain’t Your Color
@@dcmc7383 Also a good one👍
Hi,if it’s bass you like then try their version of” ‘Folsom prison blues”
The biggest rule for going down the Home Free rabbit hole is to save "Mayday" for when you KNOW the guys and their usual roles. If you do this, the "Mayday ready" experience is INCREDIBLE.
Absolutely True!!
My absolute favorite!! I also mentioned that in my recent post, definitely need to wait to do that one until she knows the group a little better.
Yep so true
Absolutely! Hold off on that one.
Wait until you’re ready for Mayday and you still won’t be ready
Tim Faust, the bass, collaborated with Peter Hollens to do "misty mountains" Tim, does what Tim does best and it shows his bass notes extremely well...
And Avi with Peter Hollens, Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair.
Absolutely! A journey!

Home Free has been around for 20 years. Founded by Chris and Adam Rupp of Minnesota. I think the group copied the name of their dad's boat. Rob Lundquist is also from Minnesota. Other current and former members tend to be from the South.
The group hit it big around 2013 when they won a TV singoff the year after Pentatonix won it.
Tenor 1 is Austin Brown.
Tenor 2 is Rob Lundquist (beard and glasses).
Beatbox is Adam Rupp. There's live vids where he can imitate a whole drum set.
Tenor/Baritone was Chris Rupp (cowboy hat in the vid). He resigned from the group a few years ago. Now does solo work, and works with the 7th Avenue Band with his sister Tristin and some rotating guest artists. He was replaced by Adam Chance, who is just called Chance to avoid confusion with the other Adam.
Low bass is Tim Foust. You heard him hit a G1 at the end of this vid. In the live TV contest that they originally created this song arrangement for, he did it as an F#1.
"How Great Thou Art" and other spirituals will show you their straightforward voices.
They've recorded songs along with Kenny Rogers and with The Oak Ridge Boys.
"Man of Constant Sorrow" will give you a chance to hear everyone isolated.
"Mayday" will also give you a chance to hear isolation vocals, and there's stuff they do there that's a departure from their normal roles. (We're not supposed to give it away to new reactors. You'll have to see.)
"Misty Mountains Cold" by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust will give you another shot at Tim's low range.
Since you like low bass singers with wide ranges, at some point you'll also have to check out Geoff Castellucci and the group Voiceplay. It's a job requirement, not an option. :) A good start would be the cover of "Oogie Boogie's Song" for the whole group, and the cover of Paul McCartney's "Blackbird" For Geoff as a multitracked soloist. He gets down to an E1 in both of those.
That's pretty much everything that I wanted to say, so thanks. :-)
The only thing I'd add is Tim Foust's collaboration with the Hound + The Fox on "We Three Kings" - he sings a connected melody down low, rather than just "bomb" notes.

Top Notch cover.

Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole :) The Home Fries, as we fans of Home Free are called will be here soon. Other covers of theirs to check out are : the gospel hymn How Great thou Art, Ed Sheeran's Castle on the Hill, Blue Ain't your Color a Keith Urban song, their cover of John Denver's Country Roads is unlike anything you've ever heard before, and you'll hear Rob (big guy with glasses clearly in that one, Sawyer Brown's Some Girls Do, and my favorite cover they've done, Thomas Rhett's Die A Happy Man. it's ultra romantic. but also highly recommended - My Church, End of the Road, and a few of their originals....

An Amazing song for the Christmas time we are in Do You Hear What I Hear, another perfect song is How Great Thou Art just for starters
bearded guy rob has a good one honey im good song
Home Free bass singer Tim Foust is a close friend of Avi's. Tim can hit those low growl bass notes with ease, and he actually gave Avi some lessons on that which actually helped Avi's own range get more diverse. I always loved the visual in this video at the very end, after Tim hits that low note, where you can see a smiling Avi take off his signature beanie and replace it with the cowboy hat! Avi was soon to reach a point in his life where he would go thru a lot of personal issues that led to his eventual departure from Pentatonix, so just seeing him enjoying himself in this collaboration with his friend does my old heart good. Avi is a really decent guy who didn't deserve all the negativity he would soon have to deal with.
Loved the reaction. There is a cameo in the video for the Home Free original "Champaign Taste on a Beer Budget". Check out the mechanical bull at the end of the video.
Asking who the leader is for Home Free is kind of like asking who the leader of Pentatonix is - there really isn't one.

I've heard they adopted the country genre as a recommendation from the producers of that show and it's done them well but, they cover a whole lot of other genres as well. They're obviously friendly with Pentatonix as well as the band Voiceplay (who I'm sure you'll get around to as well) and there are some videos out comparing the bass singers of the 3 groups to see who can go lowest by showing clips from various performances..
This group has a lot of fun in some of their videos (like the one mentioned above). Another of their most-loved videos is "Man of Constant Sorrow" where you can see Adam Chance. When you watch that one, just keep reminding yourself that all the sounds are made by the people. You'll hear things and say "nuh uh". After that, I'm sure you'll get a list of songs from other fans (known as "home fries").
Spelled “CHAMPAGNE”. After the Champagne region of France.
If you enjoy Avi Kaplan you should check out some of his solo stuff. He's put out an album recently with all original stuff. Lots of good listening there
The more you listen to Home Free, the bigger of a fan you become.
"Man of Constant Sorrow" is a must see
If u like more on bass listen to tim on misty mountains
They're cover of "End of the Road" is unbelievable! I honestly might like it as much if not more then the original! And Rob (Guy with the Beard) kills the lead!
This whole reaction was me saying "Oh, just you wait..."
So glad you liked them. They're a great bunch of guy's who really love what they do. They're all good friends and most of the time of there are extras it's family and friends. They can sing anything from humorous, serious, pop, soul of gospel. For a contrast try comparing these three. For humor try Champagne on a Beer budget....little cameo in that onne. For serious try Helplessly Hoping originally by Crosby, Stills and Nash. For gospel try How Great Thou Art. Earlier videos have Chris Rupp with them ... Cowboy hat. He left to pursue other things and Adam Chance aka Chan joined as baritone/bass usually ball cap. Enjoy. Thanks for a great reaction. God bless and stay safe
Welcome to Home Free. They are amazing. You'll like them all, but let me suggest, Seven Bridges Road, My Church, Take Me Home Country Roads, and Love Train. Just to name a few.
There’s no lead singer in Home Free they pick a lead for whatever song they’re doing
"I'm surprised by people who can go that low with their voice and then go high..." Should we tell her about Geoff?
That’s exactly what I thought!!!
Check out VoicePlay! Their beatboxer is awesome too!
Its will be a surprise ... try Blackbird if you want to hear though
Geoff is also incredible! He credits Tim with teaching him with some notes he was having trouble with.
Oogie Boogie Song is a perfect example of crazy range!
There is also Ivan Rebroff. Both of them are absolutetly insane
Check out their cover of How Great Thou Art, shot in the Austrian Alps with a lot of drone shots. The song and the visuals are stunning.
I also recommend the a capella group Voctave, start off with their Disney Love Medley, featuring Kirstin from PTX and her then-fiancee.
And Voiceplay, maybe start out with their cover of the Oogie Boogie Song. (Their bass, Geoff Castelucci, will blow you away)
Adam Rupp, the beat-boxer does a "drum solo" live that showcases just how incredibly talented he is. Check it out!
Love the reaction! Please react to Home Free’s Man of Constant Sorrows.
After this one, my next two favorites are "Man of Constant Sorrow" and "Fulsom Prison Blues". Pentatonix and Home Free are very good friends. The both won a season of The Sing Off.
Please check out their cover of "End of the Road" it is Rob's time to shine
if you want to hear rob check out end of the road
Tim Foust's range is usually listed as A0-A5, with rumors that he can go even lower; "Honey, I'm Good" showcases tenor Rob Lundquist (dark beard); Austin Brown was the tenor soloist in this song. Beatboxer and founding member Adam Rupp only sings very short solos but does sing harmony parts when beatboxing is inappropriate; Adam Chance joined the group after this video came out, and is listed as the baritone because he can "only" get down to A1. Chance is the lead on "Cover Me Up," and successfully proposed to his girlfriend at the end of the video.
If you want to feel Avi's bass, react to "Black is the color .. by Peter Hollens and Avi Kaplan". It's insane
This is a super suggestion!
Change on the Rise.
It's beautiful. It is the timbre of Avi's voice in addition to the depth of his bass notes.
For some Rob's whistle (the guy with the beard) and Tim's (the bass) vocals : "My baby got champagne taste"
For a good mash-up of their voices and incredible beatbox by Adam Rupp : "Man of Constant Sorrow"
For a wonderful adaptation with really good solo from both bass Tim Foust and Adam Chance : "Folsom Prison Blue"
For some Yodel from Austin Brown (The one you said should be lead singer) : "Thanks god I'm a country boy"
For really funny videos with a good mashup of all their talents : "All about that bass", "Honey I'm good" and "Hillbilly Bone"
For mashups : "The Butts remix" and "country fried pop medley"
And outside of Home Free, Tim Foust's collabs with Peter Hollens are ALL good. ALL ! MUST SEE !
And if you want a bit of fun with a ton of Bass, "22 times Tim Foust went subwoofer mode"
Another really good a capella group is voice play, they have an amazing bass singer too
you just became a home fry
You have not heard Tim Faust sing low yet. He can get nearly an octave lower than he does in this song. You'll love "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Misty Mountains". Still not his lowest, but by far his best for clarity when going low. As for Avi, you should really check out his personal channel ("Avi Kaplan" is then name of his channel). Especially "Change on the Rise", not a super low song, but just very well sung. As for PTX, given it is Christmas time again, you should check out "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", Avi hits some deep rich notes and Mitch hits an ear piercing high note that is amazing.
Welcome to Home Free! They are so talented. Try End of the Road or Blue Ain’t you Color if you want to hear Rob, (beard and glasses). Try Folsom Prison Blues, Man of Constant Sorrow to hear more of Tim (super low bass). Austin is the high tenor and has curly reddish hair, Adam is the beatboxer extraordinaire and has blondish hair. And Chris is a tenor (with the cowboy hat). Chris left the group in 2016 and was replaced by Chance who is a baritone/bass. Chance has a 4 octave range. Tim, the bass, has a 5 octave range. He is amazing and actually taught Avi to sing lower. They are both so good. Tim and Avi both collaborated with Peter Hollens, another ‘a cappella’ singer on different songs. Tim does Misty Mountains with Peter and it’s amazing. Avi does Black is the Color of My True Loves Hair with Peter. So beautiful. Home Free won the show Sing Off in 2013 - the year after Pentatonix won. Both are great groups. Keep reacting. Try Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art.
Hello miss Friday the home free songs you should listen too is "MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW" - "FOLSOM PRISON BLUES- THANK GOD IM A COUNTRY BOY-and welcome to being a homefry and I just sub to you can't wait to see you react to more of home free
Home Free bass Tim Foust is on par with Geoff Castellucci of Voiceplay.
As formerly recommended you should try "Folsom Prison Blues" by Home Free and "Oogie Boogie's Song" by Voiceplay.
If you like a cappella try RARB's (The A Cappella Review Board, www.rarb.org) "Group Of The Decade": Maybebop. They did the "Sound of Silence" too, IMHO better than PTX.
Home Free:
Austin: Tenor
Rob: Tenor
Adam: Beatboxer
Chris: Baritone, no longer with the group
Adam Chance: Baritone, replaces chris in newer vids (Actually sang bass for a different group)
Tim: SUPER Bass. Basso Profundo, the lowest of the lows. But surprisingly (pleasantly) has a well put together upper register for a bass.
Tim is very comparable to Geoff Castelluci from Voiceplay (Check out "Blackbird Cover" by Geoff!)
Just an Extra FYI on the Beat Boxer ... Adam "The Freak of Nature" Rupp, was twice voted as Best All-Around Beat Boxer by his Peers at the World Beat Boxing Competition :-D
Also, if you want a real grin and giggle, watch Home Free's Butts Remix 😂
Watch
1 Walk this Land
2 Man of Consent Sorrow
3 Butts remake
4 End of the Road.
Shame you did this one first, it would have been nice for you to appreciate Tim's bass before you did this one but that's OK.
You need to do Home Free Man of Constant Sorrow next. In that video you will here more of Tim Foust (the bass), Austin Brown, the high tenor who sang in Ring of Fire and you will hear Rob Lundquist
, the other tenor and the guy in glasses that you mentioned.
The other two members are Adam Rupp, the amazing beat boxer and the newer member to the group Adam Chance (Baritone). You will hear Chance sing when you do their "Mayday" video.
After you do Man of Constant Sorrow, I would recommend you do "In The Blood" (cover of John Mayer) a favorite song of mine and then maybe do "Helplessly Hoping" (cover of Crosby, Stills & Nash) short but amazing harmonization.
There are ton more and I am sure people will recommend (like "Auld Lang Syne" or their cover of Boyz II Men's "End of the Road")
They cover End of the Road... the guy with the glasses, Rob, will knock your socks off! For more of the bass, Tim, check out their cover of Folsom Prison Blues. For more of the tenor you liked here that has the curly hair you mentioned, Austin, check out their cover of Moonshine.
Helplessly Hoping, and Auld Lang Syne, yes the new years song. Trust me on these two Home Free wonders.
Please check out Voiceplay with another fantastic bass, Geoff Castellucci. I would recommend the Little mermaid medley and definitely My Mother Told Me ft José Rosario Jr.
Like Pentatonix there is no real "lead" singer to these guys, though Scott kind of is with PTX, Tim (the super bass) kind of is with Home Free. The curly-haired tenor who takes a major part in this song is Austin (We all Loooove him. He's adorable--and single). He's got superb carriage, they can hear him all the way to Estonia I think. the beatboxer/sound effects technician is an alien. Home Free has a number of humorous pieces that are worth hearing but I think some of their best are "In The Blood" "Helplessly Hoping" and "Auld Lang Syne" (you know, the New Year's song).
Give a listen to their cover of "Folsom Prison Blues". It's a game changer
You really need to explore more Home Free. You've barely seen anything yet.
Man of Constant Sorrow
Folsom Prison Blues
Then when you think you have them all figured out.
Mayday
Have fun!
New subscriber here! Big fan of Home Free, and the best possible order would be to watch "man of constant sorrow", "folsom prison blues", then "Mayday".
You want bass you can try "voiceplay oogie boogie" where you can hear the celestial/subterranean voice of Geoff Castelluci!
Rob, the guy with the glasses and beard that you wondered about does an awesome job with his version of the Boyz 2 Men classic, "End Of The Road". You can compare to the original to see who does it better! ... Guy
Rob is the one with beard and glasses, their cover of Boys 2 Men End of the Road showcases him pretty well. Also you have to watch their cover of Man of Constant Sorrow from O Brother Where Art Thou movie. Then if you really want to be shocked and Awed by Tim Foust and his vocal range, watch their cover of Cams Mayday, then him and Peter Hollens do Misty Mountains from The Hobbit movie.
For a good demo of harmony, their cover of the Eagles, Seven Bridges Road and Auld Lang Sin will do.
Hey Megan I'm new to your channel and love your reaction to Home Free Great job! I agree you should check out their version of "Man Of Constant Sorrow " you'll hear then do different parts of the song! Definitely check it out!
Welcome to Home Free! There are so many good songs to suggest! You have 4 lead singers who switch off here and a really wonderful beat boxer. Try their cover of Meet in the Middle and an original... Catch Me if You Can is one of my favorites. Thanks! ^_^
Everyone loves Avi, But Avi has to thank Tim as Tim worked with him for low notes.
Tim Foust has a 5+ octive range. Please check out is colab with Peter Hollens, misty mountains. Then do man of constant sorrow, then Mayday
I watched an interview with Tim Faust (Bass) who indicated he liked singing in the higher octaves, I believe he said he can play with the runs. I'm not a professional either, can't even carry a note if I had a bucket, but love acapella. The bass singers have always be my favorite. Keep it up gurl, I just found your channel two weeks ago and have enjoyed every one of your reactions, mostly due to Dimash ☺
Thank you!
Great reaction Ms. Friday, hope you and your family are well and ate too much turkey.
Asam Rupp beatboxer has won a couple of international competitions I believe- go search for his "live" drum solo vids they are friggin awsome, toThere is very little they do that is not amazing so just pick-em as you feel like- they are like Pentatonix in that regard - everything is just great. Know that you are getting hooked with these guys you can now be called a PentaFry (Pentaholic and Homefry). I really look forward to your reaction of these two groups, Andd in Voiceplay and you have The top 3 A Capella groups out there (IMHO). I won't say which one is which in ranking that's personal taste. Welcome to the Rabbit holes...
U think that was low?.. Folsom Prison Blues!!
Home Frees cover of of Boys II Men "End of the Road" is a must watch.
Hi Megan. Welcome down the Home Free rabbit hole. I think you’ll find you really enjoy this group. They are amazing and funny too. The guy in the glasses is Rob Lundquist. He sings mostly Tenor Harmonies, but he does sing Lead or Co Lead. The Bass is Tim Foust. The beat boxer is Adam Rupp and in the Ring of Fire video, his brother Chris, (Who formed the group in 2000), sings harmonies. He left in 2014 to persue other projects. He was replaced by Adam Chance who sings baritone harmonies. Austin Brown is the Lead Tenor. To hear Rob singing Lead, listen/watch the groups cover of End of the Road by Boys to men. Wait until you’ve watched a few of their videos before you watch their cover of Mayday by CAM. Enjoy. Hope to see more of your reactions.
If you want to see something with the guy in the beard see home free's version of blue ain't your color.
Check out Home Free - Helplessly Hoping
They all sing and my favorite is Rob the bearded guy
Oh also react to Tim foust misty mountains by Peter hollens
I suggest you the bass battle between avi kaplan, tim foust and Geoff castellucci
Rob does some very nice solo work in "Man of Constant Sorrow"
If you want to see some of Adam's skills at beatboxing do a search for Home Free drum solo as they use it as a way to get a break during live shows and you can get an idea of how much he has improved by finding one from years ago vs one from the last year or so.
you should also look into voiceplay they are another group like ptx and homefree and are really great too, their bass also does solo stuff on his own channel thats really good like the headless horseman song or blackbird
Home Free changes the lead singer in a lot of their songs. Home Free is better than Pent. in my opinion.
I don't like comparing them for 'who is better'. It's Apples to Oranges. If you LOVE country, listen to Home Free and VoicePlay. If you prefer Pop, listen to Pentatonix. None are 'better' than the other. For me, it depends on the mood I am in to figure out what I am going to listen to.
I sort of agree with James I don't like to compare them. My mood determines who I listen too. I think Pentatonix and Home Free are both outstanding groups, each group is made up of individual outstanding singers that blend together in an other worldly way. I really like some of the things voice play has done, but I rate them just below the other too. Its probably the type music they choose to do that I don't personally care for as much. I have kind of hated Disney songs ever since the summer I worked at one of their theme parks as a Singer.
@@stevenmurphy2445 Oh, NO! I am so sorry... It IS a Summer Job so there will always be young people to do that job. But I have also heard plenty of stories (too many to be refuted) saying that basically, Disney is the devil. Many people who used to work with or for them cannot talk about it. That fact alone speaks volumes about the atmosphere.
AHHHHH A new reactor to watch! Pls react to more Home Free they are my favorite!
The bass, Tim Faust, has like a 5 octave range
u should react to home free's the butt remix u will love it
Two of the great acapella groups from the singing show “The Sing Off”. There’s one more that’s been gaining a lot of momentum. Voiceplay
Start with the Oogie Boogie song
and like the other 2 groups u can’t really miss listening to their songs.
Geoff Castellucci like Avi and Tim is amazing.
U mentioned a bass battle - there is a video featuring all three basses and comparisons of the songs done with their groups.
As soon as you said the "sh- -" word twice, i said, That's my girl" and i subbed asap.....LOL
You got a new sub and do more home free their amazing
You should honestly listen to “the oogie boogie’s song” by voiceplay !
I think you mean drum machine.
Man of constant sorrow and Mayday are a must! Adam Rupp is probably the best best boxer I’ve heard.
Honey I’m good shows off rob good
"Man of Constant Sorrow" and "Helplessly Hoping" (Crosby, Stills & Nash) my favorite.
Not sure exactly what your musical tastes are, but I really love the recent video from Peter Hollens featuring Home Free, covering U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". Best of all worlds, plus a fun surprise...
Added!
"End of The Road" really shows Rob's vocals (the bearded guy).
Good call!
Those of us who have loved HF take delicious pleasure in watching articulate people "discover" this group. It's like secretly watching a first date! Forgive our voyeurism (though that's the point, isn't it?), but know that you did not disappoint. Wonderful reaction!
For Rob, you absolutely must watch End of the Road, it will make you fall in love with him! Another one of my absolute favorites is Mayday, it's one I watch over and over. Usually I'd recommend that you wait to watch that one until you are a couple videos in and know them a little better (you'll understand why). Blue Ain't Your Color is another one that really shows off all their voices, and it's a fun take on the song.
They also have a ton that show off their fun side like Butt's Remix and All About that Bass.
And of course, now that it is getting to the holiday season:
Do You Hear What I Hear? is brilliantly arranged by Adam Rupp, and filmed miles from where I live in MN, and showcases all their best attributes. My absolute favorite version of this song!
Their version of O' Holy Night is absolutely gorgeous.
And for the fun side, Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer and Full of Cheer. They are both a blast!
Oh, I can't believe I forgot to mention some of their great "quarantine" videos: Quarantine, Meet in the Middle, Moonshine, Sunday Best and Down to the Honkytonk. They are also some of my favorites, especially since they are such high quality for being across the states and not together.
Or butt remix is awesome lol
I recommend Home Free's cover of "Blue Ain't Your Color."
That's the only one that Avi was in with them. I'm more of a PTX person.
I am more a Voiceplay Fan but you can not always get what you want 😂
I am too Joan. I like Homefree, theyre very talented but i just don’t think their arrangements are as strong. Plus, i admitenly am not a huge country music fan anyways. Although, i have to say that their cover of End of the Road was SPECTACULAR.
Avi also has an appearance in Champagne Taste with a glass champagne.
I'm Home Free all the way their personalities are great not to mention their singing
You definitely need to check out more of Home Free and Voiceplay!!!!
Recommended song for Rob would be Take me home Country Roads and The End of the Road
