No, there were no instruments. What you hear came out of their voices. This group sings a lot of different genres, not just country. The two guys you pointed out even did a opera tune (Nesum Dorma) that would blow you away. The beatboxers has won several beatboxing championships and there's a video of him doing a solo. Just search for "Adam Rupp Drum Solo." They do serious songs and very funny ones. You will have fun fall down this hole.
Actually that is just a rumor. Adam Rupp has never entered a national beatboxing contest. He has been recognized by other beatboxers for his exceptional abitities. He just never had time or the inclination to ever compete that way.
If you play it...they (us home fries) will come! Home Free is an exceptionally talented (and popular) a cappella group. They have a huge catalog with well over 150 videos/songs ( both originals and covers). You wont find a bad one. They not only cross genres, they blend them.
They have not received air time because stations don't wanna play " a capella ". However, that being said, their time is coming! They just released Skull and Bones...a song Adam Chance wrote for Ubisofts upcoming game of the same name.
All vocals and beat boxing. No instruments. Yes, Adam’s playing his famous “ no-Monica”. They perform multiple genres - hip hop, R&B , opera, country, pop. The opening instrumental sound is a “ jaw harp”. This song- an old folk song- was popularized in the film, “ O Brother Where Art Thou?” You’re thinking of Sawyer Fredericks from The Voice. Get ready to get a massive influx of subscribers. We “ Home Fries” heartily welcome new family members!! Welcome! ❤
Not only is it country, it's a capella country and they are AMAZING!!!!!! No instruments, just vocals. The sound effects and percussion are courtesy of their national champion beat boxer Adam Rupp. He sounds more like a harmonica than an actual harmonica! The deep voiced guy is Tim Foust. He has a five octave range, so he can sing pretty much anything.
No instruments other than their incredible talent. I have been a Home Free fan for a number of years, and I enjoyed seeing you discover their talent for the first time. Adam Rupp, the beat boxer, is my favorite “drummer” from in any group-past or present. They don’t really have any less than stellar songs, and most of their covers are as good or better than the original artist, IMO. Enjoy exploring the Home Free universe.
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" etc.
I chose Adam Rupp over Kevin Olusola as far as best beatboxer for sure. Avi over Tim for best bass. Rob and Austin over Mitch Definitely Chance over Scott
@@pamscarr8696Adam may be the best beatboxer on the planet. I'd have to put Leyne as second, followed closely by Kevin. Best bass on the business has to be geoff, though. Tim is amazing, but there's nothing like the smooth butter of Mr Castalucci... Austin does have probably the best tenor voice in the business, though
WOW. Not a single song I would recommend is in your list, maybe "Hillbilly Bone". In no order: "Love Train", "My Church", "Down to the Honkytonk", "Folsom Prison Blues", "End of the Road" ...and after those, "Mayday". The "no-monica" work by Adam on "Ain't Going Down (Til the Sun Comes Up)" deserves mention The talent to pull off the "Butts Remix" has to be acknowledged. The collaboration with Peter Hollens in "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" is also great (especially with the video).
Austin Brown is a tenor, Rob Lundquist is a tenor, Tim Foust is a 5 octave singer, but mainly sings bass but he can sing tenor, Adam Chance is the baritone, but can sing bass as well as make sounds, and Adam Rupp is the beatboxer and has a great voice as well! Have fun with this group!
No, they didn't "come from a TV show". They were a professional touring group well before they were on the Sing Off. The show just gave them a wider audience. I'm surprised no one (yet) has recommended that you use headphones when listening to a capella music so you don't miss anything. No instruments, not even a jaw harp. All vocal. I laughed out loud when you said "Country Temptations". I love that description. But don't pigeonhole them - they sing everything from hard country to recent pop. Sacred, R&B, opera, musical theater.... Enjoy the ride.
The sad fact is that radio stations won't play acapella groups so the world at large doesn't know these talented wonderful guys. Those of us that do know them love them dearly and are referred to as home fries. The opening instrument (not really, done by Chance) is a mouth harp, Adam Rupp plays a wicked nomonica (there really is no harmonica). They're listed as "country" but in truth they can do anything and everything. Just go down the list and you won't find a bad song whether covers or originals. They've done a few colabs, most notably with the Oak Ridge Boys and Kenny Rogers.
In my small Pacific island, I'm always so glad when a radio station plays Home Free and Pentatonix. I was shocked the first time I heard the Korean group BlackPink on the radio. I'm just so glad that our radio stations play a melting pot of other countries music (Korean, Japanese, Philippines, etc...)
This is a real deep rabbit hole.. enjoy your adventure.. by the way.. the instrument you were to remember is a jaw harp. If you notice, the last guy in the video was making that sound.. and no drums, it’s all by voice..
Subbed because of this reaction. All voice, no instruments. They are one of 3 elite acapella groups out there. Home Free, Pentatonix and VoicePlay. I love them all. It's simply amazing what can be done with the voice alone.
Welcome to the best rabbit hole you could have found. Home Free's fans are called "Home Fries" and we love seeing new people react to them. I would recommend reacting to "End of The Road", "One Man Band", or "When a Man Loves a Woman." Word of caution....you keep reacting to them you'll be getting a lot of new subs and views! Us Home Fries are very loyal. 😊
You will get it figured out. You will have a lot of Home Fries to guide you along the way. We are a friendly bunch and we enjoy accompanying new folks in their journey. Subscribed for more Home Free reactions.
Subbed for Home Free. Welcome to the rabbit hole of Home Free. No drums just the best beat boxer on the planet. They are the best acapella group ever. They are amazingly talented beyond belief. If you start reacting to them, we will come in droves. Fan base is worldwide,thousands of us. Sold out concerts. They were working fulltime before the Sing Off. Enjoy the journey!
1. Great reaction! 2. Sawyer was The Voice winner that sang this song so well. 3. Try their version of "End of the Road, " "Listen to the Music," and "The Butts Medley." 🙂❤
Yes please try end of the road. By boyz to men. They kill there rendition. And champagne taste on a beer budget. Please try these you won’t be sorry. Thank you so much.
You have just scratched the surface. They do everything, not just country, and they do it all so well, with NO instruments. You won't be disappointed. Welcome to the "Home Fry Nation". 😊
The radio stations don’t play their stuff because they are a independent group. They are the BEST a cappella group out there! Very seldom do they use instruments. They can all beatbox but Adam Rupp is one of the top in the world. The jaw harp is done by Adam Chance!! Happy you are becoming a “Home Fry”!!
This song is so old no one knows who wrote it. Estimated to have been written in the late 1800's. It's classified as Folk/Americana. You NEED to hear their cover of End of the Road - Boyz to Men.🔥🔥 To minimize confusion, Adam Chance goes by Chance. 👍🏽😁
Most people recognize this song from the movie "O' Brother Where Art Thou"? These guys do acapella, no instruments, only vocals and they are amazing They are known for their harmonies and the beatboxer is crazy good too. Check Out Their cover of "Blue Ain't Your Color" It's a country song, added with a little bit of Temptations and it's amazing!
NO DRUMS at all. Just the amazing percussionist Adam Rupp. FYI- they are an independent group. They bought themselves out of their contract several years ago due to artistic and monetary issues. They can sing ANYTHING. You should react to the following for starters-“End of the Road”, which will blow you away. “How Great Thou Art”, “Take Me Home, Country Roads”, “I Can’t Outrun You”(pure 5 part harmony). You mentioned the Temptations, so you will probably love “Blue Ain’t Your Color”. “Butts Remix” is hilarious and strikingly good. “When a Man Loves a Woman”, “Helplessly Hoping”(more 5 paront harmony), for fun “Champagne Taste(on a beer budget)”Catch Me If You Can “, “Sea Shanty Medley “, and “Go Rest High On That Mountain “. The Home Fries(Home Free fans)will now flock to your channel to help you jump into the rabbit hole.
If you are going to be addicted to a group this one would be the best!!! You are now a "Home Fry" , They do "End of the Road" cover--exceptional!! or When a man loves a woman!! --phenomenal!!
There are no instruments it is all done by their mouth...Let me introduce you to Home Free ... You are about to journey down the deepest rabbit hole in acapella history.. I'll be glad when you get to learn all their names the beatboxer is Adam Rupp him and his brother Chris started this group in 2000... Austin Brown was the first one you heard singing..Rob Lindquist was in the overalls... Tim Foust is the bass.. Adam Chance was the one doing the mouth harp.. an Adam Rupp is the beatboxer.. once you get to know these gentlemen you will be blown away.. I've been following these gentlemen since 2013.. oh you are in for one long ride with these men . they are not of this world.. they have hundreds of cover songs quite a few original songs as well... Looking forward to your next reaction there is a lot to say about these five amazing men..🏡🆓🏡🍟 welcome to the Home Fry family.. Love my Boys 💓💓💟
I clicked on this reaction because I couldn't believe that there was anyone who had never heard Home Free before. Great Reaction, I could tell it was genuine. There were NO instruments beyond the human voice. ALL the sounds were made by them. All of them take the lead singing (even the beatboxer has a lead vocal line in "How Great Thou Art"). Keep listening and reacting.
Criminal they aren’t played on the radio. No instruments at all my dear. They are so good one forgets it’s all their voices. I love them and also love Voice Play. Both world quality singing groups.
They were advertised as a country group to be able to compete on the Sing Off, but trust me, they can sing any genre they set their mind to. Check out their version of Boys II Men's "End of the Road" and Crosby Stills and Nash's Helplessly Hoping". Oh, by the way, those drums you think you hear is Adam Rupp, an incredibly talented (award winning) beat boxer/ percussionist. The instrument being voiced in the intro is a juice harp and the other you heard is a harmonica. Unless you see an actual instrument being played, the sounds you hear are all acapela. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole, Enjoy!
It's called a Jew's Harp and has no connection to the Jewish people. The name is believed to be a corruption from Old English of a medieval instrument called gewgaw.
Out of all their many amazing videos, by far most are acapella, most of the few that have instrumentation show the instrument - but there are at least a couple with instruments not shown (Save the World for one). I love Home Free! They are so talented and diverse.
They do Boys to Men, End of the Road, O'Jays Love Train, The one they do with Kenny Rogers, Children go where I send Thee, is fire, So many spectacular songs!
Great Home Free songs--there is a lot but can start with BROTHERS IN ARMS, HELPLESSLY HOPING, SEA SHANTY MEDLEY, HOW GREAT THOU ART, ELVIRA, HILLBILLY BONE, GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN, BLUE AINT YOUR COLOR, END OF THE ROAD, ALL ABOUT THAT BASS, BUTTS REMIX
Welcome to the Home Free party. Your expressions said it all. They are pretty amazing. They are billed as country, but they do everything. Try their cover of End of the Road. Or Listen to the Music. Yup. Every sound, including the harmonica and the jaw harp were made vocally. And the "drums" were Adam Rupp, beatboxer extrordinaire. Enjoy the ride.
New subscriber. Great reaction, too! I love it when people discover Home Free. They are a freakishly talented group of fellas that excel in all music genres. They can make you laugh sometimes, they can make you cry sometimes but they always impress. Here's a cheat sheet on the group: Adam Rupp, co-founder of HF and the awesome beatboxer. Tim Foust, bass. He has a five-octave range. Rob Lundquist (glasses and beard) Tenor Harmony. Austin Brown, Lead Tenor. Adam Chance, Baritone ( goes by Chance). Chance replaced Chris Rupp (co-founder) who left in 2016. Take Me Home Country Roads is phenomenal but you might also want to check out Dreamer, When A Man Loves A Woman, End Of The Road, One Man Band, American Pie featuring Don McLean, I Swear, Blue Ain't Your Color, Dive Bar Saints, The Driver, Crazy and Folsom Prison Blues. For some funny ones: Butts Medley, All About That Bass, Champagne Taste, Hillbilly Bone and Ray Stevens' Mississippi Squirrel Revival. For some serious ones: How Great Thou Art, Go Rest High On That Mountain. When you are familiar with all the boys and their vocal roles, do Mayday. And last but not least, Brothers In Arms. It is haunting and beautiful. They have recently released several new songs that you will want to check out. Unchained Melody, Listen to the Music, Brother and their latest: Stargazer Lilies trilogy, Give Me A Sign, Stargazer Lilies and Mr. ...the list goes on. To switch it up..try Two Country Singers try singing Opera. Adam Chance just wrote the theme song to Ubisoft's new Pirate themed video game, Skull and Bones and Home Free performs it. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole!
Home Free is the best group around! Love them. They are a cappella so no instruments, only the beatboxer and he was doing drums, harmonica and other sounds with his mouth. They can all beatbox to a degree. 3 are from the south, 2 are from Minnesota. Tim Foust is the bass. He has a 5 octave range so he can sing super low and then sing up with the tenors. He has broken speakers before. Austin Brown, the lead in this song, can yodel and sing high. Rob Lundquist, with glasses, is the tenor and can sing opera. Chance, baritone, back row left, was doing the “mouth harp” sound. Adam Rupp (like “up”) is the beatboxer and is amazing! They sing country but sing all genres and also write and sing their own songs. Try End of the Road, In the Blood, Skull & Bones. 🤩😃
They do EVERYTHING, all genres of music. On this one, you heard voices, and VOICES ONLY! All sounds, the jaw-harp, the NO-Monica, the drums, all sound was voice produced!
New subscriber for more Home Free, great reaction! They are by far my favorite group!!! No drums, no jaw harp and no harmonica, all sounds are vocally produced! Country music is bigger than it has ever been! This group sells out their live concerts World wide!
Great reaction! I love watching first-time reactions to Home Free. You MUST watch their cover of Boys to Men End of the Road and Percy Sledge When a Man Loves a Woman.
I love seeing people being introduced to Home Free! All vocal, fabulous talent, lovely people. They can sing any style and they're always brilliant. Hope you do some more reactions to their stuff!
Oh the deep deep hole you begin to enter. They are marvelous. The best acapella group happening - Rupp makes all those sounds with his body, no instruments. Yes, Voice guy was very good but you must hear Bob Dylan sing this one, it'll change your life. Listen to them sing "Children Go Where I Send Thee" with Kenny Rogers. You subscribe to them and you become a "Home Fry" LOL Too many songs to list, but End Of The Road is a revelation.
Wait till you see them do "end of the road". Just amazing. I was hooked when I heard them do the cover my church... Drove two hours north to see them live The only show close to me was so worth the trip It was an amazing experience.
You're reaction is exactly what all us Home Free fans had when we first heard them. We are many and lovingly called the Home Fries. Keep reacting and we will follow. Next try Boys to Men "End Of The Road". Welcome to the rabbit hole. 😁
Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, made the drum sounds. React to a film clip of Adam Rupp doing a drum solo from 2015. You'll be blown away. They went independent and have a devoted following who call themselves Home Fries. Tim Foust is the bass and he can go way deeper. He has been known to blow speakers when performing live.
No instruments at all, this all their vocals. I would suggest you try their cover of Boyz II Men's End of the Road next. They can sing anything in any genre and it's all vocals, no instruments. Adam Rupp is the beat boxer who makes all the drum and harmonica sounds, Tim Foust in the bass, Rob Lundquist is tenor, Austin Brown is the high tenor, and Adam Chance, otherwise known simply as Chance is baritone, he was doing the mouth harp at the beginning and end, but Tim and Chance have multi-range vocal talents so they both can sing up in the tenor range and way down in the basement. By the way, Diana Ross called them and asked them to sing for her 75th birthday party.
They are very underrated. They are working artists, who have a loyal following but have never hit the superstar status. Anyone of them is talented enough to be a solo artist, yet their gift is their tight harmonies and ability to "team" sing. By "team sing " I mean working together to get the job done. If Tim is the lead singer Chance fills in the low notes. They had 3 that can sing tenor one that happens to be the DEEP bass that can blow out a speaker by "growling" at it.
Just subbed for more Home Free reactions! You will have a blast! Next song that will blow you away is Boyz to Men End of the Road. They literally can sing any kind of music.
Home Free is 100% a Capella! NO INSTRUMENTS! The opening sound is a "Jaw Harp" and the sound is made by Adam Chance (goes by Chance). The beat boxing (drums) and the harmonica sounds are from Adam Rupp. Tim Foust is the bass singer and has a 5+ octave range. Home Free has a TH-cam channel with 1.66 million subscribers and 325 videos. The group was formed in 2000. The reasons you don't hear them on mainstream radio is that they are a Capella and are not part of a major record label. They own and produce all their own music. Their albums are sold through their website. While they are considered a "country" group, they have covers of songs from all genres of music. Everything from Opera to Boyz2Men, the Doobie Brothers, Johnny Cash and many more. Just pick one of their songs, you can't go wrong.
The instrument that you're talking about is called a didgeridoo, but the amazing thing is not a single instrument was used in this version it was all human voices!
Have followed you for about six months now and always wondered why you hadn't done any Home Free. So happy you have found them now and thank you!! They bring joy to every one of my days. Can't wait to hear more. I agree with all the songs already suggested, especially End of the Road and My Church and Take Me Home Country Roads and Hillbilly Bone and and and ......... too many to name.
The game developers at Ubisoft have had Home Free write and perform the song for their new game coming out called 'Skull and Bones'. It's got a guitar and a mandolin so not all voice but it's awesome! Maybe we will be seeing and hearing more about these talented guys!
I hope you spend more time on this journey there is so much cool stuff to watch these guys do and their own stuff is sweet I saw them live on the dive bar saints tour and their stuff on that album is so sweet.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. :) And just to confirm what others said below, no instruments at all, just their voices. That includes the "drums", the "mouth harp" and the "harmonica". If you want country/patriotic they did 2 versions of God Bless the USA. I recommend the one the sang WITH Lee Greenwood (and Air Force Singing Sergeants) during covid.
I love it when someone hears Home Free for the first time and are blown away. This song is one of my favorites! I agree HF should be on everyone’s radar. They are each unbelievably talented in their own right, and together make up the best a capella band out there. We Home Fries are loyal to the core and would love to hear you react to more from our guys! Please react to In The Blood. It’s a cover, but we say they don’t do covers, they do upgrades. I subbed!
Home Free End of the Road is a great next watch. they knocked it out of the park. Shawn from Boyz II men actually helped them with the cover and mentored them on it.
Awesome singers, beatboxer , with magnificent sense of humor. They sing, they write some of their own music, they work with others, they're fantastic solo . Oh, my love will tear your heart out
The song is from the movie O Brother Where Aren't Thou with George Clooney. The first person singing is Austin Brown (high tenor) from Georgia but now lives in Tennessee; Rob Lundquist (tenor, beard and glasses) is from, and still lives, in Minnesota; Tim Foust (bass with 5 octave range) is from Texas but now lives in Tennessee; Adam Chance (known as Chance, baritone, but can sing bass) is from Alabama but now lives in California; and Adam Rupp (beatboxer) is from and still lives in Minnesota. He and his brother, Chris, began HF. Chris sang with the group until 2016 (Chance then joined the group) to branch out on his own.
The trinity of great a capella groups are: Pentatonix (choral emphasis plus some pop: lots of great Christmas stuff--beautiful voices; they popularized a cappella) VoicePlay (lots of soundtracks and musical piece, as well as R&B, lots of great Halloween stuff--incredible arrangements) Home Free (country focus, with some folk and rock, lots of fun) All three are incredibly versatile and cover many genres... And they each have an amazing deep bass singer. So much worth exploring!
A great reaction! Subscribed immediately! You're hooked now. Welcome to the Rabbit Hole that is Home Free. My wife and I saw them live last December, is was crazy good! And is truly all vocal. They have over 130 TH-cam videos. I will say this you need to do a few before you react to "Mayday" or their Boys to Men cover "End of the Road ". I would suggest their cover of "My Church" and their original "Dive Bar Saints" before you get truly blown away by the other two. Their 2 Johnny Cask covers, "Ring of Fire" and "Folsom Prison Blues," are also fire. Enjoy your journey, welcome, you'll soon be one of the HOME FRIES, the tag their fans have. I especially liked your references to great talent not getting their recognition justly deserved. Whether you react to them or not, here's another example of pure talent, unheard, for the most part. I found this trio of ladies about 5 years ago on TH-cam and have been as hooked on their music as I am Home Free and other underknown artist. They're The Rainbow Girls, out of northern California. Their harmonies are like angels. A mix of rock, folk, southern rock, blues, and even bluegrass. Watch the official videos of their cover of Down Home Girl, then their original "Cameron Sterling." Once you're hooked, go watch "Yuba."
I've watched so many of your videos over time. I don't know why I never subscribed! I just did, though, in hopes of hearing more Home Free!! There's SO MUCH to choose from in multiple genres. They're touted as "country", but successfully do any genre. 👍 The past members were all years ago. There has only been one member switch since they won the Sing-Off in 2013. The bass, Tim Foust (pronounced *Fowst*) has an impressive 5 octave range! He has blown out speakers at concerts more than once! Lol Adam Rupp (pronounced like *up*) is a freak of nature who can reproduce ANY sound! His vocal percussion sounds like actual drums and has shocked more than a few real drummers reacting to them. 👍 He does multiple
He does multiple instruments vocally. Look up "Adam Rupp Drum Solo" on YT! It's from 2015 and he's wearing a red flannel shirt. It's an older video from a solo at a Home Free concert, but its it's really the best to showcase his drumming! He's only gotten better over the years since!! 😳🤯 I highly recommend a few songs to get your feet wet: "When a Man Loves a Woman" (Percy Sledge/Michael Bolton cover) will *blow your mind* with Austin taking lead. Talk about soul!! "End of the Road" (Boys 2 Men cover) will give you a taste of their R&B with Rob taking lead!! "Listen to the Music" (Doobie Brothers cover) will make you completely forget you're listening to a capella!! Outstanding!! 🔥💯 "Blue Ain't Your Color" (Keith Urban cover) is a *MUST SEE* since you called them the "country Temptations"!! Lol You'll love it!! "Love Train" (O'Jays cover) will have you wanting to dance! There are way too many to try and list here. Just pick one from the hundreds available! Not a bad one in the bunch! ❤🎶 Radio stations don't play a capella music much. Not sure why as Home Free has literally millions of fans WORLDWIDE! They broke away from a major record label so they'd have creative freedom with their music. They put out 3 or 4 albums with Sony, then created *Home Free Records*. So, no big marketing push and big money now. They LOVE their fans (Home Fries) and love what they do. Each member is a super-talented artist on their own, but when they get together ... magic happens!! Enjoy falling down the HF rabbit hole! 💯🤯
What is this, you ask? It's magic! They are all so good at what they do, it feels like magic every time I hear them! There were no instruments at all, not even the little noise you heard that you thought was that little mouth thing (jaw harp). There wasn't one. Just their mouths and vocal chords.
Yep, same song the kid did on the voice with a Home Free upgrade. Lordy, you got so much joy ahead of you with Home Free! Country, soul, pop rock, classic rock, hymns, opera, originals, collaborations with the likes of Alabama, Kenny Rogers, Don McLean. You name it they can do it with class, style and some of the best harmony on the planet. FYI, they can all beatbox but Adam is the master, 2 time world champion beatboxer. They are also hilarious and put out some of the best videos you'll come across. Suggestions: "End of The Road" Boyz to men cover. " Blue Ain't Your Color" Keith Urban cover. "Brothers in Arms" Dire Straits cover. "American Pie" featuring original singer/song writer, Mr. Don McLean. McLean contacted Home Free to re-record his American classic's 50th anniversary edition. "Children Go Where I Send Thee" with Mr. Kenny Rogers. Kenny contacted Home Free to record with him on his Christmas album. Be sure and listen to the very end for a message from Kenny about Home Free. "Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget" Home Free original for fun. "Butts Remix" speaks for it's self. Enjoy my friend.
This song is over 100 years old and been covered by many country greats. The most famous version of this song is from the movie O Brother Where Art Thou. Each member takes the lead parts in every songs. There sounds are all imitations of instruments. Great reaction. Tim has some songs where he goes even lower. Ring of Fire comes to mind.
Home Fry here. There are so many great videos for you to react to… and you’ll acquire lots of views from Home Fries. One serious suggestion: watch at least 5 videos before reacting to their cover of “Mayday.” Extra note: two other successful singers from American Idol - Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.
NO DRUMS, NO JAW HARP, NO HARMONICA, NO INSTRUMENTS; NONE!!! Adam Rupp is considered (jokingly) as a 'freak of nature' because of his beatboxing talent, award-winning. For real. You need to do a reaction to the three following, AND IN THIS ORDER: -"Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget: The 'deep voice' guy is Tim Foust, who has a FIVE OCTAVE range; from basso profundo to tenor. He wrote this song, which showcases some of his range. Plus it's a funny, fun song. (Tim wrote a follow-up song, "Full of Cheer" that's also worth viewing.) -"All About That Bass": A GREAT cover of this song, that the band had great fun with. -"When A Man Loves A Woman": Recorded during lockdown, so the members could not travel or sing in the same room. This song showcases Austin, who knocks it out of the park; it helps that his girlfriend he is DEEPLY in love with was off-camera in the room, and he would occasionally look over to her, basically singing part of this to her. YOU MUST WAIT TO LISTEN TO THIS SONG UNTIL YOU'VE HEARD AT LEAST THE OTHER TWO SONGS I MENTIONED!!!! It's worth the wait. Welcome to Home Free.
To get the full effect of Home Free's complex layering of their vocals, I recommend you listen with either earbuds or headphones, the difference will amaze you. Welcome to the Home Free very deep rabbit hole.
Home Free refused the mainstream cookie cutter industry! They took a chance on their talent and paved their own way without record labels! Fans of Home Free are called Home Fries! You are going to get a lot of new subs and suggestions from a very loyal and fierce group of fans! We will lead you down the rabbit hole! Your reaction is the best I've ever seen for a first time reaction! "Country Temptations" reference is priceless! Sending love from a Texas Home Fry!🤠🤠🤠
There were no drums, no instruments, no jaw harp. Everything you heard was made by their mouths alone. They are the absolute best at what they do and they have a large catalog to explore! Those of us that love them are called Home Fries.❤️🤗🐝
Another Instrument "expressed" is a Jewish harp (Adam Chance).... and please...don't rely on MARKETERS, no matter the source (Sony, Capitol, yada yada etc..)., giving us anything other than what THEY WANT US TO HEAR. Great reaction
Man of Constant Sorrow is a song from the amazing movie, O Brother where art thou.
No instruments!! Just the best beat boxer on the planet with the best acapella group ever!!
React to Home Free singing "When A Man Loves A Woman" it will blow you away man.
No, there were no instruments. What you hear came out of their voices. This group sings a lot of different genres, not just country. The two guys you pointed out even did a opera tune (Nesum Dorma) that would blow you away. The beatboxers has won several beatboxing championships and there's a video of him doing a solo. Just search for "Adam Rupp Drum Solo." They do serious songs and very funny ones. You will have fun fall down this hole.
Actually that is just a rumor. Adam Rupp has never entered a national beatboxing contest. He has been recognized by other beatboxers for his exceptional abitities.
He just never had time or the inclination to ever compete that way.
Watched it. 🤙
HEADPHONES ARE A MUST when listening to Home Free!
Try listening again with some and you'll never be the same.
YES! Please use headphones! Opens up all the levels and will knock your socks off!
If you play it...they (us home fries) will come!
Home Free is an exceptionally talented (and popular) a cappella group.
They have a huge catalog with well over 150 videos/songs ( both originals and covers). You wont find a bad one.
They not only cross genres, they blend them.
They have not received air time because stations don't wanna play
" a capella ". However, that being said, their time is coming! They just released Skull and Bones...a song Adam Chance wrote for Ubisofts upcoming game of the same name.
All vocals and beat boxing. No instruments. Yes, Adam’s playing his famous “ no-Monica”.
They perform multiple genres - hip hop, R&B , opera, country, pop.
The opening instrumental sound is a “ jaw harp”.
This song- an old folk song- was popularized in the film, “ O Brother Where Art Thou?”
You’re thinking of Sawyer Fredericks from The Voice.
Get ready to get a massive influx of subscribers. We “ Home Fries” heartily welcome new family members!! Welcome! ❤
your going to love everything they do
Not only is it country, it's a capella country and they are AMAZING!!!!!! No instruments, just vocals. The sound effects and percussion are courtesy of their national champion beat boxer Adam Rupp. He sounds more like a harmonica than an actual harmonica! The deep voiced guy is Tim Foust. He has a five octave range, so he can sing pretty much anything.
Yeah, no instruments at all there.
Chance did the jaw harp in this one!
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! Best Acapella group out there
No instruments other than their incredible talent. I have been a Home Free fan for a number of years, and I enjoyed seeing you discover their talent for the first time. Adam Rupp, the beat boxer, is my favorite “drummer” from in any group-past or present. They don’t really have any less than stellar songs, and most of their covers are as good or better than the original artist, IMO. Enjoy exploring the Home Free universe.
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" etc.
I chose Adam Rupp over Kevin Olusola as far as best beatboxer for sure.
Avi over Tim for best bass.
Rob and Austin over Mitch
Definitely Chance over Scott
Love both Tim & Avi. It is difficult to beat Avi's unique voice timbre but Tim has the incredible range and a wonderful voice in his own right.
@@pamscarr8696Adam may be the best beatboxer on the planet. I'd have to put Leyne as second, followed closely by Kevin.
Best bass on the business has to be geoff, though. Tim is amazing, but there's nothing like the smooth butter of Mr Castalucci... Austin does have probably the best tenor voice in the business, though
WOW. Not a single song I would recommend is in your list, maybe "Hillbilly Bone".
In no order: "Love Train", "My Church", "Down to the Honkytonk", "Folsom Prison Blues", "End of the Road" ...and after those, "Mayday".
The "no-monica" work by Adam on "Ain't Going Down (Til the Sun Comes Up)" deserves mention
The talent to pull off the "Butts Remix" has to be acknowledged.
The collaboration with Peter Hollens in "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" is also great (especially with the video).
@@pamscarr8696 I just enjoy all of them for their incredible talents. It is NOT a contest. Just enjoy.
Austin Brown is a tenor, Rob Lundquist is a tenor, Tim Foust is a 5 octave singer, but mainly sings bass but he can sing tenor, Adam Chance is the baritone, but can sing bass as well as make sounds, and Adam Rupp is the beatboxer and has a great voice as well! Have fun with this group!
The good news is you have one video done, the bad news is they have 320 great videos more to do!
Yep, 100 percent vocals!!
And yeah this song is in the neighborhood of 150 years old.
Drums were also from beatboxer.
No, they didn't "come from a TV show". They were a professional touring group well before they were on the Sing Off. The show just gave them a wider audience.
I'm surprised no one (yet) has recommended that you use headphones when listening to a capella music so you don't miss anything. No instruments, not even a jaw harp. All vocal.
I laughed out loud when you said "Country Temptations". I love that description. But don't pigeonhole them - they sing everything from hard country to recent pop. Sacred, R&B, opera, musical theater.... Enjoy the ride.
The sad fact is that radio stations won't play acapella groups so the world at large doesn't know these talented wonderful guys. Those of us that do know them love them dearly and are referred to as home fries. The opening instrument (not really, done by Chance) is a mouth harp, Adam Rupp plays a wicked nomonica (there really is no harmonica). They're listed as "country" but in truth they can do anything and everything. Just go down the list and you won't find a bad song whether covers or originals. They've done a few colabs, most notably with the Oak Ridge Boys and Kenny Rogers.
In my small Pacific island, I'm always so glad when a radio station plays Home Free and Pentatonix. I was shocked the first time I heard the Korean group BlackPink on the radio. I'm just so glad that our radio stations play a melting pot of other countries music (Korean, Japanese, Philippines, etc...)
And Don McLean
Great reaction. I am a Home Fry since the Sing Off. Welcome to the rabbit hole and welcome to the family!
This is a real deep rabbit hole.. enjoy your adventure.. by the way.. the instrument you were to remember is a jaw harp. If you notice, the last guy in the video was making that sound.. and no drums, it’s all by voice..
Subbed because of this reaction. All voice, no instruments. They are one of 3 elite acapella groups out there. Home Free, Pentatonix and VoicePlay. I love them all. It's simply amazing what can be done with the voice alone.
100 % vocal. No instruments or drums, or mouth harps.
Welcome to the best rabbit hole you could have found. Home Free's fans are called "Home Fries" and we love seeing new people react to them. I would recommend reacting to "End of The Road", "One Man Band", or "When a Man Loves a Woman." Word of caution....you keep reacting to them you'll be getting a lot of new subs and views! Us Home Fries are very loyal. 😊
You will get it figured out. You will have a lot of Home Fries to guide you along the way.
We are a friendly bunch and we enjoy accompanying new folks in their journey. Subscribed for more Home Free reactions.
Best reaction I have seen! For this group
This is a wonderful rabbit hole to go down. They sing all types of music and no one harmonizes like they do!
Subbed for Home Free. Welcome to the rabbit hole of Home Free. No drums just the best beat boxer on the planet. They are the best acapella group ever. They are amazingly talented beyond belief. If you start reacting to them, we will come in droves. Fan base is worldwide,thousands of us. Sold out concerts. They were working fulltime before the Sing Off. Enjoy the journey!
These guys are going to blow your mind when you realize how that music is made 😂😂😂❤❤ and their vocal capabilities.❤❤😂😂😂😅😅
That was hands down the BEST reaction to them I've ever seen❤❤❤❤
1. Great reaction! 2. Sawyer was The Voice winner that sang this song so well. 3. Try their version of "End of the Road, " "Listen to the Music," and "The Butts Medley." 🙂❤
And "love train". 😉🥰🥰
Yes please try end of the road. By boyz to men. They kill there rendition. And champagne taste on a beer budget. Please try these you won’t be sorry. Thank you so much.
Absolutely no instruments in this video. What you heard was done vocally.
Sawyer Fredericks is The Voice singer you're thinking about.
End of the road will blow this poor man's mind! 😂
You have just scratched the surface. They do everything, not just country, and they do it all so well, with NO instruments. You won't be disappointed. Welcome to the "Home Fry Nation". 😊
😂 " big papa" 😂 great reaction ❤❤ Subbed for Home Free! Put out Home Free videos and the fans will show up!
I about died 😂
@@rileystone6789 🤣🤣 it was hilarious
The radio stations don’t play their stuff because they are a independent group. They are the BEST a cappella group out there! Very seldom do they use instruments. They can all beatbox but Adam Rupp is one of the top in the world. The jaw harp is done by Adam Chance!! Happy you are becoming a “Home Fry”!!
I Can Not Wait to See Your Reaction to Their "Butt ReMix" 😂 😅 😊
This song is so old no one knows who wrote it. Estimated to have been written in the late 1800's. It's classified as Folk/Americana.
You NEED to hear their cover of End of the Road - Boyz to Men.🔥🔥
To minimize confusion, Adam Chance goes by Chance. 👍🏽😁
Most people recognize this song from the movie "O' Brother Where Art Thou"? These guys do acapella, no instruments, only vocals and they are amazing They are known for their harmonies and the beatboxer is crazy good too. Check Out Their cover of "Blue Ain't Your Color" It's a country song, added with a little bit of Temptations and it's amazing!
NO DRUMS at all. Just the amazing percussionist Adam Rupp. FYI- they are an independent group. They bought themselves out of their contract several years ago due to artistic and monetary issues. They can sing ANYTHING. You should react to the following for starters-“End of the Road”, which will blow you away. “How Great Thou Art”, “Take Me Home, Country Roads”, “I Can’t Outrun You”(pure 5 part harmony). You mentioned the Temptations, so you will probably love “Blue Ain’t Your Color”. “Butts Remix” is hilarious and strikingly good. “When a Man Loves a Woman”, “Helplessly Hoping”(more 5 paront harmony), for fun “Champagne Taste(on a beer budget)”Catch Me If You Can “, “Sea Shanty Medley “, and “Go Rest High On That Mountain “. The Home Fries(Home Free fans)will now flock to your channel to help you jump into the rabbit hole.
If you are going to be addicted to a group this one would be the best!!! You are now a "Home Fry" , They do "End of the Road" cover--exceptional!! or When a man loves a woman!! --phenomenal!!
There are no instruments it is all done by their mouth...Let me introduce you to Home Free ... You are about to journey down the deepest rabbit hole in acapella history.. I'll be glad when you get to learn all their names the beatboxer is Adam Rupp him and his brother Chris started this group in 2000... Austin Brown was the first one you heard singing..Rob Lindquist was in the overalls... Tim Foust is the bass.. Adam Chance was the one doing the mouth harp.. an Adam Rupp is the beatboxer.. once you get to know these gentlemen you will be blown away.. I've been following these gentlemen since 2013.. oh you are in for one long ride with these men . they are not of this world.. they have hundreds of cover songs quite a few original songs as well... Looking forward to your next reaction there is a lot to say about these five amazing men..🏡🆓🏡🍟 welcome to the Home Fry family.. Love my Boys 💓💓💟
I clicked on this reaction because I couldn't believe that there was anyone who had never heard Home Free before. Great Reaction, I could tell it was genuine. There were NO instruments beyond the human voice. ALL the sounds were made by them. All of them take the lead singing (even the beatboxer has a lead vocal line in "How Great Thou Art"). Keep listening and reacting.
All sounds done by the voice. So no drums!!! Tim is the bass and Austin the main singer here. They are all amazing!!
Criminal they aren’t played on the radio. No instruments at all my dear. They are so good one forgets it’s all their voices. I love them and also love Voice Play. Both world quality singing groups.
They were advertised as a country group to be able to compete on the Sing Off, but trust me, they can sing any genre they set their mind to. Check out their version of Boys II Men's "End of the Road" and Crosby Stills and Nash's Helplessly Hoping". Oh, by the way, those drums you think you hear is Adam Rupp, an incredibly talented (award winning) beat boxer/ percussionist. The instrument being voiced in the intro is a juice harp and the other you heard is a harmonica. Unless you see an actual instrument being played, the sounds you hear are all acapela. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole, Enjoy!
It's called a Jew's Harp and has no connection to the Jewish people. The name is believed to be a corruption from Old English of a medieval instrument called gewgaw.
@@stevenbond9201 Also called a Jaw harp.
Out of all their many amazing videos, by far most are acapella, most of the few that have instrumentation show the instrument - but there are at least a couple with instruments not shown (Save the World for one). I love Home Free! They are so talented and diverse.
You should react to their performances on The Sing Off, the ones that include the judges comments. I love watching those!
They do Boys to Men, End of the Road, O'Jays Love Train, The one they do with Kenny Rogers, Children go where I send Thee, is fire, So many spectacular songs!
Great Home Free songs--there is a lot but can start with BROTHERS IN ARMS, HELPLESSLY HOPING, SEA SHANTY MEDLEY, HOW GREAT THOU ART, ELVIRA, HILLBILLY BONE, GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN, BLUE AINT YOUR COLOR, END OF THE ROAD, ALL ABOUT THAT BASS, BUTTS REMIX
Welcome to the Home Free party. Your expressions said it all. They are pretty amazing. They are billed as country, but they do everything. Try their cover of End of the Road. Or Listen to the Music. Yup. Every sound, including the harmonica and the jaw harp were made vocally. And the "drums" were Adam Rupp, beatboxer extrordinaire. Enjoy the ride.
New subscriber. Great reaction, too! I love it when people discover Home Free. They are a freakishly talented group of fellas that excel in all music genres. They can make you laugh sometimes, they can make you cry sometimes but they always impress. Here's a cheat sheet on the group: Adam Rupp, co-founder of HF and the awesome beatboxer. Tim Foust, bass. He has a five-octave range. Rob Lundquist (glasses and beard) Tenor Harmony. Austin Brown, Lead Tenor. Adam Chance, Baritone ( goes by Chance). Chance replaced Chris Rupp (co-founder) who left in 2016. Take Me Home Country Roads is phenomenal but you might also want to check out Dreamer, When A Man Loves A Woman, End Of The Road, One Man Band, American Pie featuring Don McLean, I Swear, Blue Ain't Your Color, Dive Bar Saints, The Driver, Crazy and Folsom Prison Blues. For some funny ones: Butts Medley, All About That Bass, Champagne Taste, Hillbilly Bone and Ray Stevens' Mississippi Squirrel Revival. For some serious ones: How Great Thou Art, Go Rest High On That Mountain. When you are familiar with all the boys and their vocal roles, do Mayday. And last but not least, Brothers In Arms. It is haunting and beautiful. They have recently released several new songs that you will want to check out. Unchained Melody, Listen to the Music, Brother and their latest: Stargazer Lilies trilogy, Give Me A Sign, Stargazer Lilies and Mr. ...the list goes on. To switch it up..try Two Country Singers try singing Opera. Adam Chance just wrote the theme song to Ubisoft's new Pirate themed video game, Skull and Bones and Home Free performs it. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole!
Home Free is the best group around! Love them. They are a cappella so no instruments, only the beatboxer and he was doing drums, harmonica and other sounds with his mouth. They can all beatbox to a degree. 3 are from the south, 2 are from Minnesota. Tim Foust is the bass. He has a 5 octave range so he can sing super low and then sing up with the tenors. He has broken speakers before. Austin Brown, the lead in this song, can yodel and sing high. Rob Lundquist, with glasses, is the tenor and can sing opera. Chance, baritone, back row left, was doing the “mouth harp” sound. Adam Rupp (like “up”) is the beatboxer and is amazing! They sing country but sing all genres and also write and sing their own songs. Try End of the Road, In the Blood, Skull & Bones. 🤩😃
All I am saying is WELCOME! WE, home fries will be proud to go down this rabbit hole with you.
Yep, THAT!!! ❤
They do EVERYTHING, all genres of music. On this one, you heard voices, and VOICES ONLY! All sounds, the jaw-harp, the NO-Monica, the drums, all sound was voice produced!
New subscriber for more Home Free, great reaction! They are by far my favorite group!!! No drums, no jaw harp and no harmonica, all sounds are vocally produced! Country music is bigger than it has ever been! This group sells out their live concerts World wide!
Great reaction! I love watching first-time reactions to Home Free. You MUST watch their cover of Boys to Men End of the Road and Percy Sledge When a Man Loves a Woman.
I love seeing people being introduced to Home Free! All vocal, fabulous talent, lovely people. They can sing any style and they're always brilliant. Hope you do some more reactions to their stuff!
Oh the deep deep hole you begin to enter. They are marvelous. The best acapella group happening - Rupp makes all those sounds with his body, no instruments. Yes, Voice guy was very good but you must hear Bob Dylan sing this one, it'll change your life. Listen to them sing "Children Go Where I Send Thee" with Kenny Rogers. You subscribe to them and you become a "Home Fry" LOL Too many songs to list, but End Of The Road is a revelation.
Wait till you see them do "end of the road". Just amazing. I was hooked when I heard them do the cover my church... Drove two hours north to see them live The only show close to me was so worth the trip It was an amazing experience.
You're reaction is exactly what all us Home Free fans had when we first heard them. We are many and lovingly called the Home Fries. Keep reacting and we will follow. Next try Boys to Men "End Of The Road". Welcome to the rabbit hole. 😁
Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, made the drum sounds. React to a film clip of Adam Rupp doing a drum solo from 2015. You'll be blown away. They went independent and have a devoted following who call themselves Home Fries. Tim Foust is the bass and he can go way deeper. He has been known to blow speakers when performing live.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Home Free is a deep rabbit hole to go down. You haven't heard nuthin' yet
No instruments at all, this all their vocals. I would suggest you try their cover of Boyz II Men's End of the Road next. They can sing anything in any genre and it's all vocals, no instruments. Adam Rupp is the beat boxer who makes all the drum and harmonica sounds, Tim Foust in the bass, Rob Lundquist is tenor, Austin Brown is the high tenor, and Adam Chance, otherwise known simply as Chance is baritone, he was doing the mouth harp at the beginning and end, but Tim and Chance have multi-range vocal talents so they both can sing up in the tenor range and way down in the basement. By the way, Diana Ross called them and asked them to sing for her 75th birthday party.
Oh, these guys have got mad talent! Loved your reaction, you were awe struck and it showed. Great job. Ain't no instruments, that's all people.
They are very underrated. They are working artists, who have a loyal following but have never hit the superstar status. Anyone of them is talented enough to be a solo artist, yet their gift is their tight harmonies and ability to "team" sing. By "team sing " I mean working together to get the job done. If Tim is the lead singer Chance fills in the low notes. They had 3 that can sing tenor one that happens to be the DEEP bass that can blow out a speaker by "growling" at it.
This song was also in the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou with George Clooney.
Just subbed for more Home Free reactions! You will have a blast! Next song that will blow you away is Boyz to Men End of the Road. They literally can sing any kind of music.
Home Free is 100% a Capella! NO INSTRUMENTS! The opening sound is a "Jaw Harp" and the sound is made by Adam Chance (goes by Chance). The beat boxing (drums) and the harmonica sounds are from Adam Rupp. Tim Foust is the bass singer and has a 5+ octave range. Home Free has a TH-cam channel with 1.66 million subscribers and 325 videos. The group was formed in 2000. The reasons you don't hear them on mainstream radio is that they are a Capella and are not part of a major record label. They own and produce all their own music. Their albums are sold through their website. While they are considered a "country" group, they have covers of songs from all genres of music. Everything from Opera to Boyz2Men, the Doobie Brothers, Johnny Cash and many more. Just pick one of their songs, you can't go wrong.
The instrument that you're talking about is called a didgeridoo, but the amazing thing is not a single instrument was used in this version it was all human voices!
Yes sir. And I can even throw and catch a boomerang.
They all do some sorts of beatboxing throughout their catalog. And Tim Faust??? OMFG he has like a 4 octave range or some crazy sht! lmao!!!
5 octave
Homefree is AMAZING ❤🎉 THEY EVEN SING END OF THE ROAD BY BOYZ TO MEN
Have followed you for about six months now and always wondered why you hadn't done any Home Free. So happy you have found them now and thank you!! They bring joy to every one of my days. Can't wait to hear more. I agree with all the songs already suggested, especially End of the Road and My Church and Take Me Home Country Roads and Hillbilly Bone and and and ......... too many to name.
You are in store for quite the rabbit hole! These guys are gold. Enjoyed your reaction.
'OH BROTHER WHERE ART THOU' was a comedy starring GEORGE CLOONEY 7 other big names a few years ago. Based on Homer's 'The ODDYSSEY'.
The game developers at Ubisoft have had Home Free write and perform the song for their new game coming out called 'Skull and Bones'. It's got a guitar and a mandolin so not all voice but it's awesome! Maybe we will be seeing and hearing more about these talented guys!
The group does good at R B also
What a fun reaction. I enjoyed your response to these guys. Adam Rupp does a "drum solo" that will blow you away.
I hope you spend more time on this journey there is so much cool stuff to watch these guys do and their own stuff is sweet I saw them live on the dive bar saints tour and their stuff on that album is so sweet.
No drums. That was Adam Rupp. Check out his drum solo. The one where he's wearing a red plaid shirt.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. :) And just to confirm what others said below, no instruments at all, just their voices. That includes the "drums", the "mouth harp" and the "harmonica". If you want country/patriotic they did 2 versions of God Bless the USA. I recommend the one the sang WITH Lee Greenwood (and Air Force Singing Sergeants) during covid.
Found these guys about a year ago. I am totally obsessed now about to go to my third and fourth live performance.
You are so lucky. No more than it's announced that their concerts are anywhere near Northern Wisconsin they sell out before you can get tickets.
I love it when someone hears Home Free for the first time and are blown away. This song is one of my favorites! I agree HF should be on everyone’s radar. They are each unbelievably talented in their own right, and together make up the best a capella band out there. We Home Fries are loyal to the core and would love to hear you react to more from our guys! Please react to In The Blood. It’s a cover, but we say they don’t do covers, they do upgrades. I subbed!
Would like to see you do Elvira - both the original & their cover (where they team up w the originals!). ❤❤❤
Home Free fans are known as Home Fries. There are a lot of us….as you will soon find out. 😊
Lol they arent using instruments except their vocal ability, they are a capella
Home Free End of the Road is a great next watch. they knocked it out of the park. Shawn from Boyz II men actually helped them with the cover and mentored them on it.
Awesome singers, beatboxer , with magnificent sense of humor. They sing, they write some of their own music, they work with others, they're fantastic solo . Oh, my love will tear your heart out
Sorry.. aka unchained melody.
@@donigoodwin3580 both fanfastic song choices.
No Instruments, No drums no harp, no harmonica just Adam Rupp. Everything they touch is magic.
Chance was doing the jaw harp.
Yep. That was Chance throat singing.
The song is from the movie O Brother Where Aren't Thou with George Clooney. The first person singing is Austin Brown (high tenor) from Georgia but now lives in Tennessee; Rob Lundquist (tenor, beard and glasses) is from, and still lives, in Minnesota; Tim Foust (bass with 5 octave range) is from Texas but now lives in Tennessee; Adam Chance (known as Chance, baritone, but can sing bass) is from Alabama but now lives in California; and Adam Rupp (beatboxer) is from and still lives in Minnesota. He and his brother, Chris, began HF. Chris sang with the group until 2016 (Chance then joined the group) to branch out on his own.
The trinity of great a capella groups are:
Pentatonix (choral emphasis plus some pop: lots of great Christmas stuff--beautiful voices; they popularized a cappella)
VoicePlay (lots of soundtracks and musical piece, as well as R&B, lots of great Halloween stuff--incredible arrangements)
Home Free (country focus, with some folk and rock, lots of fun)
All three are incredibly versatile and cover many genres... And they each have an amazing deep bass singer.
So much worth exploring!
A great reaction! Subscribed immediately!
You're hooked now. Welcome to the Rabbit Hole that is Home Free. My wife and I saw them live last December, is was crazy good! And is truly all vocal. They have over 130 TH-cam videos. I will say this you need to do a few before you react to "Mayday" or their Boys to Men cover "End of the Road ". I would suggest their cover of "My Church" and their original "Dive Bar Saints" before you get truly blown away by the other two. Their 2 Johnny Cask covers, "Ring of Fire" and "Folsom Prison Blues," are also fire.
Enjoy your journey, welcome, you'll soon be one of the HOME FRIES, the tag their fans have.
I especially liked your references to great talent not getting their recognition justly deserved.
Whether you react to them or not, here's another example of pure talent, unheard, for the most part. I found this trio of ladies about 5 years ago on TH-cam and have been as hooked on their music as I am Home Free and other underknown artist. They're The Rainbow Girls, out of northern California. Their harmonies are like angels. A mix of rock, folk, southern rock, blues, and even bluegrass. Watch the official videos of their cover of Down Home Girl, then their original "Cameron Sterling." Once you're hooked, go watch "Yuba."
Home fries (home free fans) are intensely loyal. If you keep reacting to Home Free, we will flock to your channel. I just subscribed.
I've watched so many of your videos over time. I don't know why I never subscribed! I just did, though, in hopes of hearing more Home Free!! There's SO MUCH to choose from in multiple genres. They're touted as "country", but successfully do any genre. 👍 The past members were all years ago. There has only been one member switch since they won the Sing-Off in 2013. The bass, Tim Foust (pronounced *Fowst*) has an impressive 5 octave range! He has blown out speakers at concerts more than once! Lol Adam Rupp (pronounced like *up*) is a freak of nature who can reproduce ANY sound! His vocal percussion sounds like actual drums and has shocked more than a few real drummers reacting to them. 👍 He does multiple
He does multiple instruments vocally. Look up "Adam Rupp Drum Solo" on YT! It's from 2015 and he's wearing a red flannel shirt. It's an older video from a solo at a Home Free concert, but its it's really the best to showcase his drumming! He's only gotten better over the years since!! 😳🤯
I highly recommend a few songs to get your feet wet:
"When a Man Loves a Woman" (Percy Sledge/Michael Bolton cover) will *blow your mind* with Austin taking lead. Talk about soul!!
"End of the Road" (Boys 2 Men cover) will give you a taste of their R&B with Rob taking lead!!
"Listen to the Music" (Doobie Brothers cover) will make you completely forget you're listening to a capella!! Outstanding!! 🔥💯
"Blue Ain't Your Color" (Keith Urban cover) is a *MUST SEE* since you called them the "country Temptations"!! Lol You'll love it!!
"Love Train" (O'Jays cover) will have you wanting to dance!
There are way too many to try and list here. Just pick one from the hundreds available! Not a bad one in the bunch! ❤🎶
Radio stations don't play a capella music much. Not sure why as Home Free has literally millions of fans WORLDWIDE!
They broke away from a major record label so they'd have creative freedom with their music. They put out 3 or 4 albums with Sony, then created *Home Free Records*. So, no big marketing push and big money now.
They LOVE their fans (Home Fries) and love what they do. Each member is a super-talented artist on their own, but when they get together ... magic happens!! Enjoy falling down the HF rabbit hole! 💯🤯
What is this, you ask? It's magic! They are all so good at what they do, it feels like magic every time I hear them! There were no instruments at all, not even the little noise you heard that you thought was that little mouth thing (jaw harp). There wasn't one. Just their mouths and vocal chords.
Yep, same song the kid did on the voice with a Home Free upgrade. Lordy, you got so much joy ahead of you with Home Free! Country, soul, pop rock, classic rock, hymns, opera, originals, collaborations with the likes of Alabama, Kenny Rogers, Don McLean. You name it they can do it with class, style and some of the best harmony on the planet. FYI, they can all beatbox but Adam is the master, 2 time world champion beatboxer. They are also hilarious and put out some of the best videos you'll come across. Suggestions: "End of The Road" Boyz to men cover.
" Blue Ain't Your Color" Keith Urban cover.
"Brothers in Arms" Dire Straits cover.
"American Pie" featuring original singer/song writer, Mr. Don McLean. McLean
contacted Home Free to re-record his American classic's 50th anniversary
edition.
"Children Go Where I Send Thee" with Mr. Kenny Rogers. Kenny contacted
Home Free to record with him on his Christmas album. Be sure and listen to
the very end for a message from Kenny about Home Free.
"Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget" Home Free original for fun.
"Butts Remix" speaks for it's self. Enjoy my friend.
The young man on the Voice you are thinking of is Sawyer Fredricks.
This song is over 100 years old and been covered by many country greats. The most famous version of this song is from the movie O Brother Where Art Thou. Each member takes the lead parts in every songs. There sounds are all imitations of instruments. Great reaction. Tim has some songs where he goes even lower. Ring of Fire comes to mind.
Home Fry here. There are so many great videos for you to react to… and you’ll acquire lots of views from Home Fries. One serious suggestion: watch at least 5 videos before reacting to their cover of “Mayday.”
Extra note: two other successful singers from American Idol - Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.
NO DRUMS, NO JAW HARP, NO HARMONICA, NO INSTRUMENTS; NONE!!!
Adam Rupp is considered (jokingly) as a 'freak of nature' because of his beatboxing talent, award-winning. For real.
You need to do a reaction to the three following, AND IN THIS ORDER:
-"Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget: The 'deep voice' guy is Tim Foust, who has a FIVE OCTAVE range; from basso profundo to tenor. He wrote this song, which showcases some of his range. Plus it's a funny, fun song. (Tim wrote a follow-up song, "Full of Cheer" that's also worth viewing.)
-"All About That Bass": A GREAT cover of this song, that the band had great fun with.
-"When A Man Loves A Woman": Recorded during lockdown, so the members could not travel or sing in the same room. This song showcases Austin, who knocks it out of the park; it helps that his girlfriend he is DEEPLY in love with was off-camera in the room, and he would occasionally look over to her, basically singing part of this to her. YOU MUST WAIT TO LISTEN TO THIS SONG UNTIL YOU'VE HEARD AT LEAST THE OTHER TWO SONGS I MENTIONED!!!! It's worth the wait.
Welcome to Home Free.
To get the full effect of Home Free's complex layering of their vocals, I recommend you listen with either earbuds or headphones, the difference will amaze you. Welcome to the Home Free very deep rabbit hole.
Home Free refused the mainstream cookie cutter industry! They took a chance on their talent and paved their own way without record labels! Fans of Home Free are called Home Fries! You are going to get a lot of new subs and suggestions from a very loyal and fierce group of fans! We will lead you down the rabbit hole! Your reaction is the best I've ever seen for a first time reaction! "Country Temptations" reference is priceless! Sending love from a Texas Home Fry!🤠🤠🤠
There were no drums, no instruments, no jaw harp. Everything you heard was made by their mouths alone. They are the absolute best at what they do and they have a large catalog to explore! Those of us that love them are called Home Fries.❤️🤗🐝
Another Instrument "expressed" is a Jewish harp (Adam Chance).... and please...don't rely on MARKETERS, no matter the source (Sony, Capitol, yada yada etc..)., giving us anything other than what THEY WANT US TO HEAR. Great reaction
Luv this group. Country is their bread and butter but they dont shy away from any genre
Sawyer Frederick's did win the Voice that year. Man of Constant Sorrow WAS his "audition" song.
