Home Free are 5 of the most talented and skilled musicians in the musical arena. The beat boxer/vocal percussionist (Adam Rupp) is world class and creative, electrifying and exciting in his performances. That was all Adam doing the "no-monica". That's what the Home Fries call it when Adam plays the harmonica without an actual harmonica. Tim Foust is the super bass with a 5 octave range. The first to solo is Austin Brown, sky high tenor with a beautiful clear voice strong enough to knock drones out of the sky. The bearded solo is Rob Lundquist the lower tenor with a voice as smooth and buttery as caramel with some soul thrown in. The man in the back with the orangish colored hat is Adam Chance (referred to as Chance so as to avoid confusion with having 2 Adams) is the baritone/bass with a voice as smoky and rich as that first cup of hot coffee in the morning. He was the one doing the jaw harp sound at the beginning and throughout. This song is the one that got me hooked on Home Free and I binge watched hours of their videos becoming more and more astounded with their music with every video. Their fans are called Home Fries and we are fiercely loyal to these guys. Great reaction. The more you listen to them, I assure you, the more you will like their work. Some of my favorites from Home Free are Listen To The Music, Folsom Prison Blues, Unchained Melody, The Driver, Moonshine, Brother, End Of The Road, Blue Ain't Your Color on You Tube and Ain't Goin' Down Till The Sun Comes Up on Facebook.
Home Free is the real deal. They won the NBC show the Sing Off in 2013 and have been going strong ever since. Adam is the beatboxer and he is crazy talented. Chance (also in the back row) was doing the mouth harp (sounds a little like a didgeridoo). Adam can do a didgeridoo. Tim is the bass (he cut his hair during Covid so in new videos he has short hair). Rob (glasses) is the tenor and has a beautiful voice. Austin (red head and lead here) is a wonderful singer. They are all talented, they all take the lead depending on the song. They sing a lot of covers but they also write and sing their own songs too. Good reaction!
Glad you liked them! Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole 🕳. Loved your reaction. Everything you hear is from their vocals 💯. Suggestions for their covers of End of the Road by Boyz ll Men , When a Man Loves a Woman, Sea Shanty Medley buckle up enjoy your ride
They are the "Kings of Harmony"! Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. You should check out their cover of "Ring of Fire" featuring Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix. The Home Free fan base are called "Home Fries" and we are a very enthusiastic group!
Of note...that hardly anyone else seems to capture....in the end of Ring of Fire....at first, some thought it was Avi doing that final super low note.....but a visual confirms it was Tim....and if ya pay close attention...when Tim's delivering it, Avi dons a western hat (Texan Tim style) in place of his beanie that is Avi's trademark...
You have just been introduced to the best a cappella group out there. 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 & their beatboxer vocal percussionist Adam Rupp can simulate any sound. This song is very old & is done in the bluegrass country style. It was used in the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" starring George Clooney. Some of my favorites are "Take Me Home Country Roads", "In The Blood", "Ring Of Fire", "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" etc.
For a beautiful location, Autria's Alps, you should listen to Home Free "How Great Thou Art". It's my favorite rendition of this hymn by far. Also check out Adam Rupp Drum Solo, you will see more of his beatboxing talent.
Awe inspiring a capella group. Perfect harmonies. Great lead vocals. Outstanding vocal percussion. 1 down, about 170 to go. Can't think of a bad one. I would recommend The Driver or Blue Aint Your Color.
That is what we call the Nomonica. The twangy sound was their version of a jaw or mouth harp. If you want to hear Adam's didgeridoo, you will need to check out his drum solo video. Welcome to the HF rabbit hole!
First welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. Heres a little history:The group started in 2001 by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp They are the first and only known country A Cappella group but they can honestly sing any genre.

Home Free is labeled country, but they can and do all genres. They also sing individually and with other artists. They sing Ring of Fire with Avi Kaplan who was with Pentatonix. Home Free has a close relationship with Voiceplay. The two groups met on The Sing-Off on season four. The Sing Off was an acapella competition show. Home Free won the competition. The two groups did a video Zombies vs Hillbillies that show both groups: talents Home Free members sing everything from country to opera. They are truly amazing. They can give you goose bumps, make you tear up, and make you laugh at their goofiness. It's amazing that they aren't more well known. Kenny Rogers had them to record a song with him. The Oak Ridge Boys performed Elvira with them. Don McLean performed his classic American Pie with them for the song's fiftieth anniversary. They received a standing ovation when they opened for Reba MacIntyre. They have performed with Alabama.. Diana Ross is a big fan of them through You Tube. She had them perform for her seventieth birthday. And of course they have performed at The Grand Old Opry..
Welcome the Home Fries world. Definitely a rabbit hole. All the comments about their talent are true. Do listen to several of their songs before you listen to Mayday. Among my faves are How Great Thou Art, Auld Lang Syne, Helplessly Hoping, The Driver, Brothers in Arms and their newest album Road Sweet Road which is mostly originals. Darren Rust, of the Blenders, is considered the 6th HF. He does a lot of their arrangements. Enjoy the ride.
This was filmed in South Alabama. 3 of the guys are from the deep south...Adam Chance(baritone/bass with 4 octave range & doing the jaw harp on this song)is from South Alabama, Tim Foust(bass with 5 octave range) is from Southeast Texas, and Austin Brown(high tenor & first singer on this song) is from South Georgia. Adam Rupp(beatboxer/percussionist) and Rob Lundquist(lead tenor &second singer on this song) are from Minnesota.
Welcome to the Home Fries! Great reaction (same we all had once)! Recommendations: Ring of Fire ft. Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix, Brothers In Arms, Mayday (See more of Tim's range) and one that just looks like they had so much fun doing Elvira collaboration with The Oak Ridge Boys. But you MUST check out their Butts Remix, one of their best!
You cannot go wrong with these guys, every single cover they do is an upgrade. I went to see them live a few months ago and they are just as good live as they are in the videos. Adam Rupp, their beat boxer makes all of those sounds that you think are drums or harmonicas etc. We loyal fans call ourselves "Home Fries" and as you go down this rabbit hole you will see why we are so loyal. Home Free are the best of the best when it comes to A Cappela. I would recommend, "Let the music play" "Do you hear what I hear" and Adam Rupp's drum solo th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=adam+rupp+drum+solo but you can't go wrong no matter which song you decide to check out.
Four words for you -- End of the Road. Yes, Home Free covered Boyz II Men. They have a great catalog of originals and covers to choose from: Ring of Fire, How Great Thou Art, Mary Did You Know, When a Man Loves a Woman, Mayday, Hillbilly Bone, and many more. Yes, Adam Rupp performed the harmonica with no harmonica. Which is why its nickname is the no-monica. The group currently is Austin Brown -- high tenor, Rob Lundquist -- tenor, Tim Foust -- bass (sub-harmonic at times), Adam Rupp -- beatboxer (2× world champion if I remember correctly), and Adam Chance -- baritone. These guys are fantastic. Enjoy your trip down the rabbit hole.
I do think that's a digeridoo sound. Glad you found Home Free and like them. I love to watch them and you reactors. Here's a really fun one: The Butts Remix. These men are super talented.
No, it is not a didgeridoo. It is the sound of a little metal instrument called a mouth harp that makes a twangy sound as you play it. It was inexpensive and became popular with poor folks. Adam Chance was making the sound using a version of Mongolian Throat Singing.
Thank you so much for the Home Free reaction, it is so appreciated! In my opinion, they are the best a cappella group there is. Although country, they are very diverse and do all kinds of music. They are really fun and good guys who are good to their fans. I hit subscribe and look forward to more HF reactions! 🤗❤️
They lean country but they sing all genre's....check them out farther, react to their cover of Boyz2Men "End of the Road"....and Adam was playing his "No-monica" he is AMAZING
Home Free is incredible. Everything they do is great. And although they are a Country A-cappela group, they can really sing all genres. They really all have great voices with their own specialties. Even Adam Rupp who started the group with his brother Chris Rupp. Chris left the group in 2016 to go solo but also to start other projects with his sister, among others. Adam Rupp-Beatboxer but is actually an inhuman freaking good mouth artist. Tim Foust- Deep bass but also as a tenor and everything in between is possible. Austin Brown-High tenor with his great runs and high notes. Rob Lundquist (beard and glasses)-Tenor, with a voice like velvet and so much soul. Adam Chance (back left, who is called Chance) - Baritone/ Bass, a voice so smooth and sexy. And who here also makes the Jaw harp sound. There is no lead singer in Home Free. They look at every song whose voice suits it best, the best harmony, no egos, no rivalries, great personalities etc. Besides, they can all beatbox (see their live performance 9to5). .. This is one of the many covers they do in addition to various originals, and each one is just amazing. Take the time to discover Home Free because it will be a great tour. For me they are number 1 A-Cappella group I'm a Home Fry from the Netherlands.
Oh, sweetie, you’ve barely scratched the surface! I love watching reactors watch this video for the first time - it’s almost like seeing them for the first time all over again! This is the first song I heard from them and was immediately hooked. You are so screwed (but in a good way), as this rabbit hole is deep! And if you react to Home Free, Home Fries (their fans, like myself) will come in droves to point the way and share the journey - because, honestly, we all love to see New Fries being born. Don’t worry, though, we’re an enthusiastic but friendly bunch.🙃 The usual next songs to watch are Ring of Fire, End of the Road or Folsom Prison Blues. All are very good introductions to Home Free and well worth watching. Let’s introduce you to our boys: Front left is the awesome silky smoothness of lead tenor Rob “the beard” Lundquist. A few of my favorites featuring him are End of the Road, Blue Ain’t Your Color and Bless the Broken Road. Back left is newest member, baritone Adam Chance, called Chance due to another Adam in the group. I love him in Sea Chaney Medley, Winter Song, One Man Band, Helplessly Hoping, and Castle on the Hill. He took over when co-founding member Chris Rupp left the group in 2016 on good terms. You’ll see Chris in older videos like Ring of Fire (which also features Avi Kaplan, formerly of Pentatonix). Chance is the one doing the mouth harp here. Front center is the amazing high tenor Austin Brown. Watch When a Man Loves a Woman. That’s all that needs to be said. Seriously. Back right is founding member, beatboxer, tenor, and vocal percussionist Adam “Freak of nature” Rupp. His talent covers not only drums and the “no monica”, but extends into animal/bug noises (woodpecker and flying insects in this video) and DJ-style record scratching. He has several “drum solos” out there, but my favorite is the one where he’s wearing a red plaid shirt. He doesn’t usually sing solos, but you can hear his voice in How Great Thou Art, which is probably the most beautiful version I’ve ever heard. To highlight Adam, I recommend Ain’t Goin’ Down (only on Home Free’s FB page due to some copyright issues, but can be reacted on YT), Listen to the Music, and one of my personal favorites, Do You Hear What I Hear, which he arranged. His beatboxing is amazing in everything they do! Last, but certainly not least, front right is basso profundo Tim Foust, apparently part dragon with a 5+ octave range. His low notes have literally blown speakers. I love him in Hillbilly Bone, In the Blood, My Church, O Holy Night, Brothers in Arms, and Mary Did You Know (and so, so many others!). He also did a collaboration with Peter Hollens (another a cappella singer) on Misty Mountains (from The Hobbit) that is amazing! To see their funny side (and they are all hams to a certain degree), see The Butts Remix (hilarious!), Champagne Tastes (written by Tim), Cold Hard Cash (written by Austin), Full of Cheer, Country Fried Pop, and All About the Bass. To hear their exquisite harmonies, How Great Thou Art, Do You Hear What I Hear, and Brothers in Arms. Home Fries recommend that you don’t see Mayday until you’re familiar with the guys and know their (usual) roles. Trust us on this one! Any song they do won’t disappoint … Home Fries call their covers “upgrades.” They lean country, but do pretty much every genre (even opera!). This group has 5 tenors, 5 beatboxers, 2 bases, and 2 baritones. These guys have no egos and choose who leads by who they think does the best job. They are all genuinely funny, down to earth guys who can make you laugh hysterically in one song and cry in the next with their amazing talent. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! It’s deep, but you’ll never want to escape!
They are the best. Their harmonies are incredible and they always have interesting arrangements. They don't have a lead singer, but either take verses or pick the member of the group they think is best suited to a particular song. To continue your Home Free journey I would recommend Helplessly Hoping, When a Man Loves A Woman, Brothers in Arms and their version of American Pie that they performed with Don McLean. Wait for Mayday until you know the group better.
They are a phenomenon. For more buttery smooth sounds, check out their cover of Boys to Men "End of the Road" th-cam.com/video/-lCRFAFtj-A/w-d-xo.html For more fabulous harmonica from Adam, here's their cover of Huey Lewis' "Working for a Living" th-cam.com/video/Li23QhaIKmM/w-d-xo.html Enjoy!
Home Free = 5 Tenors, 5 Altos, 5 Beat Boxers, 3 Basses, and 5 incredible guys. Just Wow! As I am getting ready to see them in like 4 weeks the anticipation is PALPABLE!
Adam Rupp, beat boxer extraordinaire, plays the "no-monica" harmonica with the same precision and excellence that he does playing his invisible drum kit. To say Home Free is amazing is an understatement. They're billed as a Country A Capella band but they do all genres and do them to perfection. Checkout their cover of "End of The Road" a Boyz to Men cover. I could go on forever about Home Free but I'll save more comments until next time. Enjoyed your reaction, subbed to see if you decide to jump down the Home Free rabbit hole and join us Home Fries for some fantastic Home Free!
If you already like Pentatonix, you have to react to Home Free's cover of Ring of Fire with guest Avi from Penta. I would also suggest Home Free & The Oak Ridge Boys singing "Elvira."
I loved your reaction to Home Free I subscribed and look forward to hearing more reactions from Home Free. I’d suggest Ring of fire ft. Avi Kaplan, When a man loves a woman, and Blue ain’t your color. If you wanna hear and see the fun side of them the butts medley is great. Thanks for brightening my day with this reaction.
Welcome to the rabbit hole!! 😁 The next song to check out is their cover of Boyz 2 Men's "End of the Road". These men are so talented they hurt. Any song you chose is awesome. Love ur reaction #homefries
Welcome to the Home Fries. We get a little extreme in support of our guys. They sound "country" because the bass (Tim Foust) is from Texas and Austin Brown [high tenor in the hat] is from Georgia. Both have distinct accents. However, these guys sing all genres. It sounds as if you have a bass voice yourself. The Home Fries will give you many suggestions. These guys have a huge catalog and they are all good. Take a look at their catalog and I bet you will find some you like. Enjoy. I am subbing to watch the journey.
Great reaction video. Welcome to the rabbit hole known as Home Free. You will find a wide breadth of genres as well as just fantastic harmonizations from Bluegrass to Opera, a majorly talented group. Adam Rupp is their percussionist / sound effects guy (for the most part). Check out his drum solo here: th-cam.com/video/EanKWLUaDpg/w-d-xo.html Enjoy the rabbit hole. 🙂
New sub for Home Free ... pick any song ... they're all unique ... the lead varies according to the type of song ! Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole !
Great reaction! New sub, came for the Home Free! The more you watch them, you will find out that they are 5 of the most talented guys in music today. They are individually incredible, but collectively they are phenomenal. They are all humble, humorous, and love what they do and love their fans ( Home Fries). Even during quarentine they still filmed videos separately and released them the whole time for their fans. They are a great bunch of guys, so we love them right back!!! Some quarantine videos are when a Man loves a Woman, Meet in the Middle, Folsom Prison Blues and more. They are the best! They do covers(upgrades) and originals. Please check out more Home Free! And thank you for your reaction!
The 2 in back are beat boxing Adam Rupp is doing drums and harmonica. Adam ( Chance was doing the southern juice harp or mouth harp at the beginning and end.
Home Free is the best--period. It's easy to forget they are completely acapella and make all "instrumental" sounds themselves. In this song they are making a distinct southern (country blues) presentation--it definitely fits the lyrics of the song. Chance doing the jaw harp sound really sets the stage for this song's story, which Austin's twang fits phenomenally. Tim's bass line completely grounds the harmonies and Adam's voice percussion simply cannot be beat. This performance highlights a lot of Home Free's strengths although they also handle ANY other genre just as amazingly❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️ Some of my favorites are "Working for a Living", "Good 'Ol Country Harmony", "Land of the Free", "Remember This", "Elvira" (with the Oak Ridge Boys), "Undivided", "Timeless", "Ain't Goin' Down 'Til the Sun Comes Up" (which is not on YT--it's on their official Facebook page), "Listen to the Music", "What's Left of My Heart", "Understand", and "Road Sweet Road" 😍!
Thank you for reacting to the Home Free guys. They are amazing. You have a lot of suggestions so l will leave it there for now. More to come. Oh, and in some of the songs, you will see Chris Rupp, brother of the beatboxer Adam Rupp. Chris left to go solo and is doing well. They are the founders of Home Free. See ya again. Liked and subscribed.
If you would like to hear the one guy you didn't get to hear much (but for the mouth harp noise) you need to listen to I Can't Outrun You. He also directed the video hus name is Adam Chance. He goes by Chance in the group.
Welcome to the Home Fry family... Prepare yourself on the deepest rabbit hole ever... These five gentlemen are probably the best I've ever heard they are in a universe all their own their cover songs original songs all outstanding never a disappointment.. They have hundreds of songs for you to listen to every one of them are amazing..🏡🆓🏡🍟
Linda said it all - except maybe if you continue into this rabbit hole, you will get many of us fries coming and subbing to your channel. For some of their 5 part harmonies, try "How Great Thou Art"". The arrangements are done by many different people, but often by Tim (bass) or Adam (beatboxer, with the nominca).
The harmonica part and drums are the beat boxer Adam Rupp!there's TH-cam video of him live called Adam Rupp Drum Solo! Its the one with him wearing the red shirt! It will blow your mind!!!
So glad, you enjoyed our guys! I enjoyed your reaction Yes, there is no physical harmonica being played. It is all Adam Rupp! The instrument that you were trying to recall in the beginning, it’s called a mouth harp, and there was no physical one of those either that was being done by Adam Chance 🙂
HOME FREE is Adam Rupp, (co-founder, a D & D Cleric from Minnesota) the incredible phenomenal Freak of Nature, a.k.a Spitter “Nomonica” and “lots of other instruments” Beatboxer, Tenor (Adam) Chance, (replaced Chris Rupp in 2016, A Mandalorian orig from Alabama/Florida now lives in CA) His is the delightful silky smooth Charming Crooner, “jaw harp” and “other instruments” Baritone/Bass Austin Brown, (skinny jeans, an Elvin Lord orig from Georgia now lives in Tennessee) Sweet slender sassy Badass “Some Nomonica” and “other instruments” Those runs though! Goodness Gracious! High Tenor Rob Lundguist, (a Teddy Bear Braveheart, from Minnesota) the sweet soulful Bearded Wonder, Whistler Extraordinaire Tenor Tim Foust, (“two things”, Bass Face, The Dragons Breath orig from Texas now lives in Tennessee) the intense 5 octave playful subwoofer Breaks speakers Bass Along with Darren Rust, “magic man” producer Jimmy Bates, master of video technique, owned by Dexter Also their excellent stalwart crew Chris, Kait, Cam, Abe and Neil Chris Rupp, (hat guy, from Minnesota) Retired founding member, Adam’s brother, doing his own channel now Excellent arranger full gentle cheeky artist Baritone/Bass
Tim Foust sings base but if you want to hear a masterful performance, check out his solo rendition of a blend of, "Will you still love me tomorrow" and Stay. He shows his true range in this song. Amazing talent!
They are fantastic. Check out "End of the Road", "When a Man Loves a Woman", "Unchained Melody", "Mayday", "Sea Shanty Medley", "Helplessly Hoping", "Elvira", "Nessun Dorma", Adam Rupp Drum Solo, various Tim Foust venture like "Will you Still Love Me/Stay". There is a start, Enjoy!
Thanks for reacting to HF!! I checked out your other reactions. Man! You are wonderfully eclectic. Other songs you might enjoy are their mashups like Country Fried Pop or Butts Medley. Also, look at Love Train, Listen to the Music or Everyone Walking this Land. But hey, I haven’t found any song of theirs I didn’t like. Have fun! I will be back if you continue reacting to HF! I like how you really dug into the various parts.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I love music so I will listen to any and all good suggestions. I try to listen to a wide range of music. Thanks for the suggestions too
Please Do more of Home Free, they are SO talented and have a huge following (Home Fries) I'll guarantee you'll be not only surprised at their range, but also their ability to do different genre's. This song came out in 1913, a bluegrass number. When it was done on "Oh Brother Where Art thou" that is when a new generation of folks found this classic. I dont think HF has a lead singer as they are ALL overboard talented and all members get to showcase their talent in other songs. New sub here
These guys are so versatile in what they can sing. You will not be sorry with any song. I've been following them for 6 years. For me. They are the best out there. Going to give you a suggestion. Check out " Brothers In Arms. " It might make you cry.
Listen to their version of Boyz II Men - End of the Road, you won't be disappointed! Everything is done with their mouth / throat. Including the no-monica 🤭
@@dadwhatsfordinner they are considered a Country Vocal Band, but they have covered other genre's. The O'Jays - Love Train, Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison and oh so much more. They were putting out music from their individual homes during COVID lock down and got really creative how they did stuff. You cannot go wrong jumping down this rabbit hole. Cannot wait to join you on this journey.
Some suggestions for you: End of the Road, Ain't Going Down Til The Sun Comes Up, Listen To The Music, Ring of Fire, American Pie, Butts Medley, All About That Bass, Mayday...could go on and on.
The sound the beatboxer is making at the beginning is that of a mouth harp. The song became best known as part of the soundtrack for the 2000 movie starring George Clooney "Oh Brother Where Art Thou". It is a 1962 song released by Bob Dylan. It was written by Dick Burnett in 1913.
You’re in for a Real Treat !!! They’ve got over 200+ videos, here on TH-cam … All genres…It’s a Great Rabbit Hole of a trip🔥‼️🔥❤️. It’s a jaw harp, Chance, the baritone is the one doing it….&, says it’s not all that easy 😵💫‼️ They do do originals…Tim Foust (bass…5+Octave Range), Austin Brown…high tenor)…The sound man…Adam Rupp…one Talented dude…&, yes…he makes all those Awesome sounds…”Nomonica”…LOL…DRUM Kit for breakfast …you name it 😵💫🔥‼️ “WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN”… Austin kills it 🔥❤️‼️
The original song was written in the early 1900's and covered later by Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and a host of others (most recently the Soggy Bottom Boys). Home Free is always going to sound a little 'country' no matter what they sing 'cuz 3 of them are from southern U.S. states (Texas, Alabama and Georgia - the other 2 are from Minnesota). They're addictive and you've just had your first 'hit' (LOL). Keep falling down the rabbit hole - they sing every genre. You can't get bored.
That sound you were hearing is called a Juice Harp. You mentioned Robs smooth voice, Tim"s voice is very smooth also for someone with a 5 octave range. Adam does all of his beat boxing with his mouth. The Nomonica is just with his voice.
Alligator bigger head and teeth are different. Yes Adam Rupp does not use instruments it is all him. He’s absolutely amazing they are all pretty amazing.
It's not a digereedoo, it is overtone singing emulating a jaw harp, a piece of metal shaped somewhat like C= with a piece of spring steel attached to the center of the C and extending between the legs. One holds the legs up to one's mount and strums the spring steel. Their is a video of how he does the harmonica, search YT for "Adam Rupp Harmonica" and I'm pretty sure you'll find it. Home free has a large number of covers (200+?) most of which are arguably better than the originals. They also have several originals, my favorite being Champagne Taste. Whatever you do, avoid watching their cover of Mayday until you are familiar with the members and their voices. Once you can look at a member and hear their voice in your head, only then are you ready for Mayday.
If you watch 'Workin' for a Living' their names appear at the beginning. Incredible "nomonica" in that one, too, as well as 'Ain't Going Down' and 'Listen to the Music'. They do all genres including a famous opera aria, 'Nessun Dorma' that's done by 2 members alone, Rob and Austin who were the 1st two singing in this song. Nice reaction, keep it up!
Hi Dad! Just to give you a little run down on the talent and give you a base line check this one out Home Free: Drum Solo [SPM ST15]. Adam Rupp is world class when it comes to beatboxing. Plus the other guys are pretty well versed in it also check out this one Home Free - 9 to 5 + Beatboxing Breakdown, October 27, 2015. This will give you a good start before going down the rabbit hole.
I'll tell you what's different from the others. It's simple Adam Rupp the best beatboxer in the world 🌍 We Home Fries call it the nomonica he plays it on a few tracks.
You have a new follower here tonight You popped up on my feet because I love home free.... 2 songs I recommend The 1st one is end of the world and the 2nd 1 is may day Check them out you'll love them.. Maddie from Florida
As has already been stated, welcome to the Home Free addiction. Their song videos are incredible and hearing them in person is even better. If you want to treat yourself to some incredible harmonies, check out "Helplessly Hoping" and "Brothers in Arms". Enjoy!
Love their version of Can’t stop the feeling “. Justin Timberlake cover and Boys to men’s “ End of the road”. . The lean country but the sing all genres. I like how humble they are. There is no official lead singer they just use whoever voice fits the song best. Note you’ll love “ when a man loves a woman “
More Home Free please!! 🏠🍟 come and subscribe to this reactor! I love it when people hear them for the first time! I can’t wait to take this journey with you! I took my son to their concert back in June of last year!! It was amazing!
They are a Country A Capella group. No really harmonica just Adam. The mouth harp was Chance the last guy you saw. They do a lot of different types of music. Check out their cover of Boys ll men's End of the road.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! They can different genres. They can do R&B cover of Boyz II men End of The Road, Marvin Gaye/ Ed Sheeren Let's Get It on/Thinking Out Loud, Country-In The Blood. Various John Denver Ojay's Love Train. They are the best! Please keep reacting to them. You will not be disappointed! Love your reaction!
Homefree is the BEST of the best acapella group!
They only do quality. Keep watching and listening.
These men are the best! Enjoy your trip down the Home Free rabbit hole. SOOOO worth it!
Home Free are 5 of the most talented and skilled musicians in the musical arena. The beat boxer/vocal percussionist (Adam Rupp) is world class and creative, electrifying and exciting in his performances. That was all Adam doing the "no-monica". That's what the Home Fries call it when Adam plays the harmonica without an actual harmonica. Tim Foust is the super bass with a 5 octave range. The first to solo is Austin Brown, sky high tenor with a beautiful clear voice strong enough to knock drones out of the sky. The bearded solo is Rob Lundquist the lower tenor with a voice as smooth and buttery as caramel with some soul thrown in. The man in the back with the orangish colored hat is Adam Chance (referred to as Chance so as to avoid confusion with having 2 Adams) is the baritone/bass with a voice as smoky and rich as that first cup of hot coffee in the morning. He was the one doing the jaw harp sound at the beginning and throughout. This song is the one that got me hooked on Home Free and I binge watched hours of their videos becoming more and more astounded with their music with every video. Their fans are called Home Fries and we are fiercely loyal to these guys. Great reaction. The more you listen to them, I assure you, the more you will like their work. Some of my favorites from Home Free are Listen To The Music, Folsom Prison Blues, Unchained Melody, The Driver, Moonshine, Brother, End Of The Road, Blue Ain't Your Color on You Tube and Ain't Goin' Down Till The Sun Comes Up on Facebook.
Beautiful description of our Home Free boys
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! It's a fun ride....
Home Free is the real deal. They won the NBC show the Sing Off in 2013 and have been going strong ever since. Adam is the beatboxer and he is crazy talented. Chance (also in the back row) was doing the mouth harp (sounds a little like a didgeridoo). Adam can do a didgeridoo. Tim is the bass (he cut his hair during Covid so in new videos he has short hair). Rob (glasses) is the tenor and has a beautiful voice. Austin (red head and lead here) is a wonderful singer. They are all talented, they all take the lead depending on the song. They sing a lot of covers but they also write and sing their own songs too. Good reaction!
Glad you liked them! Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole 🕳. Loved your reaction. Everything you hear is from their vocals 💯. Suggestions for their covers of End of the Road by Boyz ll Men , When a Man Loves a Woman, Sea Shanty Medley buckle up enjoy your ride
I'm here for Home Free...keep em' coming! 😊
I love these talented guys. More Home Free please 🙏
This was the song that hooked me!🤠🔥❤🤠
Amazing song 🔥🔥🔥
They are the "Kings of Harmony"! Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole.
You should check out their cover of "Ring of Fire" featuring Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix.
The Home Free fan base are called "Home Fries" and we are a very enthusiastic group!
Of note...that hardly anyone else seems to capture....in the end of Ring of Fire....at first, some thought it was Avi doing that final super low note.....but a visual confirms it was Tim....and if ya pay close attention...when Tim's delivering it, Avi dons a western hat (Texan Tim style) in place of his beanie that is Avi's trademark...
You have just been introduced to the best a cappella group out there. 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 & their beatboxer vocal percussionist Adam Rupp can simulate any sound. This song is very old & is done in the bluegrass country style. It was used in the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" starring George Clooney.
Some of my favorites are "Take Me Home Country Roads", "In The Blood", "Ring Of Fire", "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" etc.
For a beautiful location, Autria's Alps, you should listen to Home Free "How Great Thou Art". It's my favorite rendition of this hymn by far. Also check out Adam Rupp Drum Solo, you will see more of his beatboxing talent.
Awe inspiring a capella group. Perfect harmonies. Great lead vocals. Outstanding vocal percussion. 1 down, about 170 to go. Can't think of a bad one. I would recommend The Driver or Blue Aint Your Color.
You have just witnessed our human sound machine and his "nomonica". That was Chance doing the jaw harp sound. This group is amazing and addictive!
That was Adam Rupp - beatboxer/percussionist extraordinaire playing his infamous "nomonica". Btw, fans of Home Free are called home fries. 🍟😆
I keep seeing the “home fries” in my comments. Nice. Makes me hungry for some fried now lol. Thanks!
That is what we call the Nomonica. The twangy sound was their version of a jaw or mouth harp. If you want to hear Adam's didgeridoo, you will need to check out his drum solo video. Welcome to the HF rabbit hole!

They are just funny, down to earth, humble nice guys.Hope this helps.Sorry for the long read
Home is by far the best acapella band out there!! Subscribed for more Home Free 🤘🤠🤘
Home Free is labeled country, but they can and do all genres. They also sing individually and with other artists. They sing Ring of Fire with Avi Kaplan who was with Pentatonix.
Home Free has a close relationship with Voiceplay. The two groups met on The Sing-Off on season four. The Sing Off was an acapella competition show. Home Free won the competition. The two groups did a video Zombies vs Hillbillies that show both groups: talents
Home Free members sing everything from country to opera. They are truly amazing. They can give you goose bumps, make you tear up, and make you laugh at their goofiness.
It's amazing that they aren't more well known. Kenny Rogers had them to record a song with him. The Oak Ridge Boys performed Elvira with them. Don McLean performed his classic American Pie with them for the song's fiftieth anniversary. They received a standing ovation when they opened for Reba MacIntyre. They have performed with Alabama.. Diana Ross is a big fan of them through You Tube. She had them perform for her seventieth birthday. And of course they have performed at The Grand Old Opry..
Welcome to the Home Fry Nation Rabbit hole
Thank you. More to come!
That was done By Adam Rupp we would like to call The #nomanica
Welcome the Home Fries world. Definitely a rabbit hole. All the comments about their talent are true. Do listen to several of their songs before you listen to Mayday. Among my faves are How Great Thou Art, Auld Lang Syne, Helplessly Hoping, The Driver, Brothers in Arms and their newest album Road Sweet Road which is mostly originals. Darren Rust, of the Blenders, is considered the 6th HF. He does a lot of their arrangements. Enjoy the ride.
Now, you have to watch the film “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou.”
Yep, the long-haired guy’s the bass, & the harmonica sound was made by that guy!
This was filmed in South Alabama. 3 of the guys are from the deep south...Adam Chance(baritone/bass with 4 octave range & doing the jaw harp on this song)is from South Alabama, Tim Foust(bass with 5 octave range) is from Southeast Texas, and Austin Brown(high tenor & first singer on this song) is from South Georgia. Adam Rupp(beatboxer/percussionist) and Rob Lundquist(lead tenor &second singer on this song) are from Minnesota.
Welcome to Home Free! They do all genres, have some original music and they switch off lead vocals as it suits the song. Enjoy your journey!
Welcome to the Home Fries! Great reaction (same we all had once)! Recommendations: Ring of Fire ft. Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix, Brothers In Arms, Mayday (See more of Tim's range) and one that just looks like they had so much fun doing Elvira collaboration with The Oak Ridge Boys. But you MUST check out their Butts Remix, one of their best!
You cannot go wrong with these guys, every single cover they do is an upgrade. I went to see them live a few months ago and they are just as good live as they are in the videos. Adam Rupp, their beat boxer makes all of those sounds that you think are drums or harmonicas etc. We loyal fans call ourselves "Home Fries" and as you go down this rabbit hole you will see why we are so loyal. Home Free are the best of the best when it comes to A Cappela. I would recommend, "Let the music play" "Do you hear what I hear" and Adam Rupp's drum solo th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=adam+rupp+drum+solo but you can't go wrong no matter which song you decide to check out.
Diana, I think you were going for Listen To The Music on the first song you have listed. I was going to recommend it, but you beat me to it.
Four words for you -- End of the Road. Yes, Home Free covered Boyz II Men. They have a great catalog of originals and covers to choose from: Ring of Fire, How Great Thou Art, Mary Did You Know, When a Man Loves a Woman, Mayday, Hillbilly Bone, and many more.
Yes, Adam Rupp performed the harmonica with no harmonica. Which is why its nickname is the no-monica. The group currently is Austin Brown -- high tenor, Rob Lundquist -- tenor, Tim Foust -- bass (sub-harmonic at times), Adam Rupp -- beatboxer (2× world champion if I remember correctly), and Adam Chance -- baritone. These guys are fantastic. Enjoy your trip down the rabbit hole.
Welcome to the rabbit hole. These guys are amazing ing and just as good live.
I do think that's a digeridoo sound. Glad you found Home Free and like them. I love to watch them and you reactors. Here's a really fun one: The Butts Remix. These men are super talented.
No, it is not a didgeridoo. It is the sound of a little metal instrument called a mouth harp that makes a twangy sound as you play it. It was inexpensive and became popular with poor folks.
Adam Chance was making the sound using a version of Mongolian Throat Singing.
Thank you so much for the Home Free reaction, it is so appreciated! In my opinion, they are the best a cappella group there is. Although country, they are very diverse and do all kinds of music. They are really fun and good guys who are good to their fans. I hit subscribe and look forward to more HF reactions! 🤗❤️
Thank you! More coming soon
They lean country but they sing all genre's....check them out farther, react to their cover of Boyz2Men "End of the Road"....and Adam was playing his "No-monica" he is AMAZING
Wait till you hear Rob (big beard) sing Boyz to Men End of the Road! You will be stunned! Love The Guys! 😊
Home Free is incredible. Everything they do is great. And although they are a Country A-cappela group, they can really sing all genres. They really all have great voices with their own specialties. Even Adam Rupp who started the group with his brother Chris Rupp. Chris left the group in 2016 to go solo but also to start other projects with his sister, among others.
Adam Rupp-Beatboxer but is actually an inhuman freaking good mouth artist.
Tim Foust- Deep bass but also as a tenor and everything in between is possible.
Austin Brown-High tenor with his great runs and high notes.
Rob Lundquist (beard and glasses)-Tenor, with a voice like velvet and so much soul.
Adam Chance (back left, who is called Chance) - Baritone/ Bass, a voice so smooth and sexy. And who here also makes the Jaw harp sound.
There is no lead singer in Home Free. They look at every song whose voice suits it best, the best harmony, no egos, no rivalries, great personalities etc. Besides, they can all beatbox (see their live performance 9to5). ..
This is one of the many covers they do in addition to various originals, and each one is just amazing.
Take the time to discover Home Free because it will be a great tour. For me they are number 1 A-Cappella group
I'm a Home Fry from the Netherlands.
Oh, sweetie, you’ve barely scratched the surface! I love watching reactors watch this video for the first time - it’s almost like seeing them for the first time all over again! This is the first song I heard from them and was immediately hooked. You are so screwed (but in a good way), as this rabbit hole is deep! And if you react to Home Free, Home Fries (their fans, like myself) will come in droves to point the way and share the journey - because, honestly, we all love to see New Fries being born. Don’t worry, though, we’re an enthusiastic but friendly bunch.🙃
The usual next songs to watch are Ring of Fire, End of the Road or Folsom Prison Blues. All are very good introductions to Home Free and well worth watching.
Let’s introduce you to our boys:
Front left is the awesome silky smoothness of lead tenor Rob “the beard” Lundquist. A few of my favorites featuring him are End of the Road, Blue Ain’t Your Color and Bless the Broken Road.
Back left is newest member, baritone Adam Chance, called Chance due to another Adam in the group. I love him in Sea Chaney Medley, Winter Song, One Man Band, Helplessly Hoping, and Castle on the Hill. He took over when co-founding member Chris Rupp left the group in 2016 on good terms. You’ll see Chris in older videos like Ring of Fire (which also features Avi Kaplan, formerly of Pentatonix). Chance is the one doing the mouth harp here.
Front center is the amazing high tenor Austin Brown. Watch When a Man Loves a Woman.
That’s all that needs to be said.
Seriously.
Back right is founding member, beatboxer, tenor, and vocal percussionist Adam “Freak of nature” Rupp. His talent covers not only drums and the “no monica”, but extends into animal/bug noises (woodpecker and flying insects in this video) and DJ-style record scratching. He has several “drum solos” out there, but my favorite is the one where he’s wearing a red plaid shirt. He doesn’t usually sing solos, but you can hear his voice in How Great Thou Art, which is probably the most beautiful version I’ve ever heard. To highlight Adam, I recommend Ain’t Goin’ Down (only on Home Free’s FB page due to some copyright issues, but can be reacted on YT), Listen to the Music, and one of my personal favorites, Do You Hear What I Hear, which he arranged. His beatboxing is amazing in everything they do!
Last, but certainly not least, front right is basso profundo Tim Foust, apparently part dragon with a 5+ octave range. His low notes have literally blown speakers. I love him in Hillbilly Bone, In the Blood, My Church, O Holy Night, Brothers in Arms, and Mary Did You Know (and so, so many others!). He also did a collaboration with Peter Hollens (another a cappella singer) on Misty Mountains (from The Hobbit) that is amazing!
To see their funny side (and they are all hams to a certain degree), see The Butts Remix (hilarious!), Champagne Tastes (written by Tim), Cold Hard Cash (written by Austin), Full of Cheer, Country Fried Pop, and All About the Bass. To hear their exquisite harmonies, How Great Thou Art, Do You Hear What I Hear, and Brothers in Arms.
Home Fries recommend that you don’t see Mayday until you’re familiar with the guys and know their (usual) roles. Trust us on this one!
Any song they do won’t disappoint … Home Fries call their covers “upgrades.” They lean country, but do pretty much every genre (even opera!). This group has 5 tenors, 5 beatboxers, 2 bases, and 2 baritones. These guys have no egos and choose who leads by who they think does the best job. They are all genuinely funny, down to earth guys who can make you laugh hysterically in one song and cry in the next with their amazing talent.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! It’s deep, but you’ll never want to escape!
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. These guys are without a doubt the best country Acapella group. CK out Ring of Fire featuring Avi Kaplan
They are the best. Their harmonies are incredible and they always have interesting arrangements. They don't have a lead singer, but either take verses or pick the member of the group they think is best suited to a particular song. To continue your Home Free journey I would recommend Helplessly Hoping, When a Man Loves A Woman, Brothers in Arms and their version of American Pie that they performed with Don McLean. Wait for Mayday until you know the group better.
Thanks for the advice and suggestions. I look forward to hearing more. I love some boys II men so I’m looking forward to that one.
New Sub for Home Free! :)
They are a phenomenon. For more buttery smooth sounds, check out their cover of Boys to Men "End of the Road" th-cam.com/video/-lCRFAFtj-A/w-d-xo.html For more fabulous harmonica from Adam, here's their cover of Huey Lewis' "Working for a Living" th-cam.com/video/Li23QhaIKmM/w-d-xo.html Enjoy!
Home Free = 5 Tenors, 5 Altos, 5 Beat Boxers, 3 Basses, and 5 incredible guys. Just Wow! As I am getting ready to see them in like 4 weeks the anticipation is PALPABLE!
Adam Rupp, beat boxer extraordinaire, plays the "no-monica" harmonica with the same precision and excellence that he does playing his invisible drum kit. To say Home Free is amazing is an understatement. They're billed as a Country A Capella band but they do all genres and do them to perfection. Checkout their cover of "End of The Road" a Boyz to Men cover. I could go on forever about Home Free but I'll save more comments until next time. Enjoyed your reaction, subbed to see if you decide to jump down the Home Free rabbit hole and join us Home Fries for some fantastic Home Free!
If you already like Pentatonix, you have to react to Home Free's cover of Ring of Fire with guest Avi from Penta. I would also suggest Home Free & The Oak Ridge Boys singing "Elvira."
I loved your reaction to Home Free I subscribed and look forward to hearing more reactions from Home Free. I’d suggest Ring of fire ft. Avi Kaplan, When a man loves a woman, and Blue ain’t your color. If you wanna hear and see the fun side of them the butts medley is great. Thanks for brightening my day with this reaction.
More coming soon. I’ve been reading a lot of great suggestions. I’m interested in hearing more and more
More home free please
More coming!
Just subbed! They do a great cover of End of the Road. 😊
Yea! I’ve been reading about that in the comments. I like boys II men. So I must listen to that
Welcome to the rabbit hole!! 😁 The next song to check out is their cover of Boyz 2 Men's "End of the Road". These men are so talented they hurt. Any song you chose is awesome. Love ur reaction #homefries
Welcome to the Home Fries. We get a little extreme in support of our guys. They sound "country" because the bass (Tim Foust) is from Texas and Austin Brown [high tenor in the hat] is from Georgia. Both have distinct accents. However, these guys sing all genres. It sounds as if you have a bass voice yourself. The Home Fries will give you many suggestions. These guys have a huge catalog and they are all good. Take a look at their catalog and I bet you will find some you like. Enjoy. I am subbing to watch the journey.
I’ve been hearing a ton of good suggestions. I’m looking forward to hearing them do boys II men song. More coming soon
@@dadwhatsfordinner You'll be shocked with "End of the Road"....can't wait to see your reaction! New sub BECAUSE of HF.
Great reaction video. Welcome to the rabbit hole known as Home Free. You will find a wide breadth of genres as well as just fantastic harmonizations from Bluegrass to Opera, a majorly talented group.
Adam Rupp is their percussionist / sound effects guy (for the most part). Check out his drum solo here: th-cam.com/video/EanKWLUaDpg/w-d-xo.html
Enjoy the rabbit hole. 🙂
New sub for Home Free ... pick any song ... they're all unique ... the lead varies according to the type of song ! Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole !
Thanks. More coming soon. I like that they trade off on the lead. I can’t wait to dig into more.
Great reaction! New sub, came for the Home Free! The more you watch them, you will find out that they are 5 of the most talented guys in music today. They are individually incredible, but collectively they are phenomenal. They are all humble, humorous, and love what they do and love their fans ( Home Fries). Even during quarentine they still filmed videos separately and released them the whole time for their fans. They are a great bunch of guys, so we love them right back!!! Some quarantine videos are when a Man loves a Woman, Meet in the Middle, Folsom Prison Blues and more. They are the best! They do covers(upgrades) and originals. Please check out more Home Free! And thank you for your reaction!
Great reaction, you’re just getting started with these guys! The more you hear em the more you’ll love em
The 2 in back are beat boxing Adam Rupp is doing drums and harmonica. Adam ( Chance was doing the southern juice harp or mouth harp at the beginning and end.
Home Free is the best--period. It's easy to forget they are completely acapella and make all "instrumental" sounds themselves.
In this song they are making a distinct southern (country blues) presentation--it definitely fits the lyrics of the song. Chance doing the jaw harp sound really sets the stage for this song's story, which Austin's twang fits phenomenally. Tim's bass line completely grounds the harmonies and Adam's voice percussion simply cannot be beat. This performance highlights a lot of Home Free's strengths although they also handle ANY other genre just as amazingly❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
Some of my favorites are "Working for a Living", "Good 'Ol Country Harmony", "Land of the Free", "Remember This", "Elvira" (with the Oak Ridge Boys), "Undivided", "Timeless", "Ain't Goin' Down 'Til the Sun Comes Up" (which is not on YT--it's on their official Facebook page), "Listen to the Music", "What's Left of My Heart", "Understand", and "Road Sweet Road" 😍!
Thank you for reacting to the Home Free guys. They are amazing. You have a lot of suggestions so l will leave it there for now. More to come. Oh, and in some of the songs, you will see Chris Rupp, brother of the beatboxer Adam Rupp. Chris left to go solo and is doing well. They are the founders of Home Free. See ya again. Liked and subscribed.
Welcome..😁...
🌿🌿🌿
Thank you!
Thank u for reacting to the boys! They are #1 in my book!! Nobody better!! It's incredible voice harp sound. Subbed for Home Free!!
Thanks. More on the way very soon
If you would like to hear the one guy you didn't get to hear much (but for the mouth harp noise) you need to listen to I Can't Outrun You. He also directed the video hus name is Adam Chance. He goes by Chance in the group.
Yes, I Can’t Outrun You is a must! Adam Rupp joins in on the hauntingly beautiful harmonies on this one. Simply amazing!
Welcome to the Home Fry family... Prepare yourself on the deepest rabbit hole ever... These five gentlemen are probably the best I've ever heard they are in a universe all their own their cover songs original songs all outstanding never a disappointment.. They have hundreds of songs for you to listen to every one of them are amazing..🏡🆓🏡🍟
Linda said it all - except maybe if you continue into this rabbit hole, you will get many of us fries coming and subbing to your channel. For some of their 5 part harmonies, try "How Great Thou Art"". The arrangements are done by many different people, but often by Tim (bass) or Adam (beatboxer, with the nominca).
So Glad You Are Reacting to Home Free
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! ✌🏻😎👍
The harmonica part and drums are the beat boxer Adam Rupp!there's TH-cam video of him live called Adam Rupp Drum Solo! Its the one with him wearing the red shirt! It will blow your mind!!!
So glad, you enjoyed our guys!
I enjoyed your reaction
Yes, there is no physical harmonica being played. It is all Adam Rupp!

Those songs sound interesting. I’ll definitely be giving them a listen
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole.
Adam Rupp is very gifted with his bebop. You should see one of their concerts. Adam usually has a solo of this drum and other sounds.
Thanks for reacting to HF!! I checked out your other reactions. Man! You are wonderfully eclectic. Other songs you might enjoy are their mashups like Country Fried Pop or Butts Medley. Also, look at Love Train, Listen to the Music or Everyone Walking this Land. But hey, I haven’t found any song of theirs I didn’t like. Have fun! I will be back if you continue reacting to HF! I like how you really dug into the various parts.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I love music so I will listen to any and all good suggestions. I try to listen to a wide range of music. Thanks for the suggestions too
Please Do more of Home Free, they are SO talented and have a huge following (Home Fries) I'll guarantee you'll be not only surprised at their range, but also their ability to do different genre's. This song came out in 1913, a bluegrass number. When it was done on "Oh Brother Where Art thou" that is when a new generation of folks found this classic. I dont think HF has a lead singer as they are ALL overboard talented and all members get to showcase their talent in other songs. New sub here
These guys are so versatile in what they can sing. You will not be sorry with any song. I've been following them for 6 years. For me. They are the best out there. Going to give you a suggestion. Check out " Brothers In Arms. " It might make you cry.
Listen to their version of Boyz II Men - End of the Road, you won't be disappointed! Everything is done with their mouth / throat. Including the no-monica 🤭
That no-Monica is insane. I’m looking forward to more.
@@dadwhatsfordinner they are considered a Country Vocal Band, but they have covered other genre's. The O'Jays - Love Train, Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison and oh so much more. They were putting out music from their individual homes during COVID lock down and got really creative how they did stuff. You cannot go wrong jumping down this rabbit hole. Cannot wait to join you on this journey.
Some suggestions for you: End of the Road, Ain't Going Down Til The Sun Comes Up, Listen To The Music, Ring of Fire, American Pie, Butts Medley, All About That Bass, Mayday...could go on and on.
Thanks. I’ll give them a listen.
Nobody is better than Home Free!
Home Free- BUTTS REMIX
You'll love it!
It's called in some areas a juice harp. If you like the other acapella groups you'll like these guys.
The sound the beatboxer is making at the beginning is that of a mouth harp.
The song became best known as part of the soundtrack for the 2000 movie starring George Clooney "Oh Brother Where Art Thou". It is a 1962 song released by Bob Dylan. It was written by Dick Burnett in 1913.
Better late than never. Peace, Love!!
You’re in for a Real Treat !!! They’ve got over 200+ videos, here on TH-cam … All genres…It’s a Great Rabbit Hole of a trip🔥‼️🔥❤️. It’s a jaw harp, Chance, the baritone is the one doing it….&, says it’s not all that easy 😵💫‼️
They do do originals…Tim Foust (bass…5+Octave Range), Austin Brown…high tenor)…The sound man…Adam Rupp…one Talented dude…&, yes…he makes all those Awesome sounds…”Nomonica”…LOL…DRUM Kit for breakfast …you name it 😵💫🔥‼️
“WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN”… Austin kills it 🔥❤️‼️
Yes. More Home Free.
The original song was written in the early 1900's and covered later by Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and a host of others (most recently the Soggy Bottom Boys). Home Free is always going to sound a little 'country' no matter what they sing 'cuz 3 of them are from southern U.S. states (Texas, Alabama and Georgia - the other 2 are from Minnesota). They're addictive and you've just had your first 'hit' (LOL). Keep falling down the rabbit hole - they sing every genre. You can't get bored.
People don't realize the sound of the old record start is the bestboxer is doing that too.
I predict you will love End Of The Road Boys To Men cover.
Darren Rust is their arranger and the guys refer to him as the sixth member of the group. A capella, all vocal band
That sound you were hearing is called a Juice Harp. You mentioned Robs smooth voice, Tim"s voice is very smooth also for someone with a 5 octave range. Adam does all of his beat boxing with his mouth. The Nomonica is just with his voice.
Alligator bigger head and teeth are different. Yes Adam Rupp does not use instruments it is all him. He’s absolutely amazing they are all pretty amazing.
It's not a digereedoo, it is overtone singing emulating a jaw harp, a piece of metal shaped somewhat like C= with a piece of spring steel attached to the center of the C and extending between the legs. One holds the legs up to one's mount and strums the spring steel.
Their is a video of how he does the harmonica, search YT for "Adam Rupp Harmonica" and I'm pretty sure you'll find it.
Home free has a large number of covers (200+?) most of which are arguably better than the originals. They also have several originals, my favorite being Champagne Taste.
Whatever you do, avoid watching their cover of Mayday until you are familiar with the members and their voices. Once you can look at a member and hear their voice in your head, only then are you ready for Mayday.
The sound is a Jaw Harp (also called a Jews Harp). Commonly used in blue grass/country music.
If you watch 'Workin' for a Living' their names appear at the beginning. Incredible "nomonica" in that one, too, as well as 'Ain't Going Down' and 'Listen to the Music'. They do all genres including a famous opera aria, 'Nessun Dorma' that's done by 2 members alone, Rob and Austin who were the 1st two singing in this song. Nice reaction, keep it up!
Hi Dad! Just to give you a little run down on the talent and give you a base line check this one out Home Free: Drum Solo [SPM ST15]. Adam Rupp is world class when it comes to beatboxing. Plus the other guys are pretty well versed in it also check out this one Home Free - 9 to 5 + Beatboxing Breakdown, October 27, 2015. This will give you a good start before going down the rabbit hole.
I'll tell you what's different from the others. It's simple Adam Rupp the best beatboxer in the world 🌍 We Home Fries call it the nomonica he plays it on a few tracks.
You have a new follower here tonight You popped up on my feet because I love home free.... 2 songs I recommend The 1st one is end of the world and the 2nd 1 is may day Check them out you'll love them.. Maddie from Florida
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. Hello from the UK.
As has already been stated, welcome to the Home Free addiction. Their song videos are incredible and hearing them in person is even better. If you want to treat yourself to some incredible harmonies, check out "Helplessly Hoping" and "Brothers in Arms". Enjoy!
congrats on picking up on some much of the fine points of HF on hour first listen!! Understated complexity and detail for video, talent and emotion!
Love their version of Can’t stop the feeling “. Justin Timberlake cover and Boys to men’s “ End of the road”. . The lean country but the sing all genres. I like how humble they are. There is no official lead singer they just use whoever voice fits the song best. Note you’ll love “ when a man loves a woman “
More Home Free please!!

I took my son to their concert back in June of last year!!
It was amazing!
They are a Country A Capella group. No really harmonica just Adam. The mouth harp was Chance the last guy you saw. They do a lot of different types of music. Check out their cover of Boys ll men's End of the road.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! They can different genres. They can do R&B cover of Boyz II men End of The Road, Marvin Gaye/ Ed Sheeren Let's Get It on/Thinking Out Loud, Country-In The Blood. Various John Denver Ojay's Love Train. They are the best! Please keep reacting to them. You will not be disappointed! Love your reaction!
No harmonica, just an incredibly talented beat boxer, Adam Rupp.
