Tim didn’t sing any of the bass on this. That was all Chance holding down the bass part. If you listen close, you can hear Tim singing the 3rd tenor line/baritone throughout.

I've heard that Tim has about a 5 octave range (as does Geoff Castallucci from VoicePlay). If I had doubts about that, this song pretty much eradicates them.

@Wendi you’re correct. You can hear Tim sing down to E1 in “Folsom Prison Blues” and up to B4 area in this one and in their Christmas song “Snow Globe”. Then of course Geoff sings about 4 1/2 octaves in the final 10 seconds of “Oogie Boogie Song”. They’re both amazingly talented as well as being friends who collaborate with each other (see Voiceplay’s “Just Sing”.

@Wendi - Geoff has some great solo stuff too: “Headless Horseman”, “High and Dry”, “Blackbird”. All show off his range. Plus, he just dropped “Sixteen Tons” this week. Can’t decide who I like more - Geoff or Tim.

Their new cover of American Pie with Don McLean is another amazing one

You have to react to Home Free cover of “American Pie” feat Don McClean its the full version to celebrate its 50th Anniversary

Home Free is a trip. No matter when you think you've seen it all, you havent. From goofy hilarious to tear-jerking songs. My favorite group because I never know what to expect, outside of greatness.

Tim did a bunch of collabs with Peter Hollens. They are all great, but Greensleeves is my favorite because he really sings out in both ends of his range and just flips between them like it is nothing.

The Home Free Effect: Liking their version over the originals. I'm not sure I can name offhand any song they cut that I like the original over. As for Tim try Snow Globe. He will amaze you even more.

you need to react to these guys singing hopelessly hoping

A great song showing Chance’s vocals is I Can’t Outrun You where he takes the lead for the whole song.

You might like Home Free’s cover of Boyz II Men’s “The End of the Road”. Rob takes the lead, trading off with Austin. Very soulful!

Tim does have some of his own songs out, like " Can't Help Falling In Love " and Austin also has his own music on u tube. Austins " Unchained Melody " has 2,100,000 views

Their cover of "Blue Ain't Your Color" is fun, and Chance has a feature part.

I too love this song, and yes Home Free made it better, apologies to Cam. And Chance can do a really good base so it allows Tim to use his higher voice in some songs....he makes the group so much more versatile

Aren’t they great! The whole is greater than the sum of the parts. I can’t get enough of their harmony. Helplessly Hoping, In the Blood, and How Great Thou Art are favorites of mine. Well worth your time. Thanks for your intelligent evaluations of what you have heard from Home Free.

Please, react to Tim´s version "Can´t help falling in love". He also plays piano on his own in this song. It is really beautiful.

Now you need to do there cover of American Pie

Home Free, excellent 👍 !!

Chance does some great bass also, he often does the background bass to make things sound fuller and also backs Tim on bass when he does his high vocals, but Chance has a very smooth voice and can sing a very good lead also and good has vocal range.

Always love to watch your reactions. Home Free just dropped a cover of Don Mclean's song American Pie featuring Don Mclean two days ago. Would love to see your reaction to it. It is the long version so be prepared for a 9+ minute music video.

Tim has his own solo album "The best that I could do". It has his own songs, maby also some covers. And there is also (as mentioned), his cover of "Can't help falling in love", and "Edge of glory" on YT.

And you will absolutely LOVE their take on Helplessly Hoping. Such beautiful harmonies in that song! Welcome to the Home Free Rabbit Hole!

Can't wait . There's a surprise in the song.

For more Tim-mazment, you need to check out a live cover of Josh Turner's Your Man... If you find the right one, you'll see him destroy a sound system....

Chance was the bass singer for another group before he replaced Chris Rupp and joined Home free. Chris has a good voice (sitting in the tenor-baritone range) but, while I enjoy his singing, I personally feel that Chance gives HF more versatility, not least because he can very ably cover the bass line if Tim heads for the rafters. That said, Tim and Chris recently collaborated on “Long Black Train”, which is worth a look - they recorded it as an overdubbed a capella duet.

Tim is definitely the most versatile voice in HF, but Chance isn't far behind. Chris Rupp is a fantastic singer, but, yeah, Chance is a little better, in my opinion.

Someone else may have already commented this. Adam Chance was in a different acapella group before joining Home Free. He was their bass. And as you now can see, he's more than up to that task. Any time you hear two basses with Home Free, you really are hearing two basses. No double tracking necessary.

Guys are good to the point of pain.

Chance was the bass for his previous group Streetcorner Symphony. He also has an amazing range which you will discover as you go further dow the rabbit hole. Curiouser and curiouser.

Adam Chance "Chance" sang bass for Street Corner Symphony. He joined HF to fill Chris Rupp's role (gulp! replace an original member?) as the baritone. One of his requests was to be allowed to sing bass on occasion. That skill allows Tim to do what he does here. Home Fries get a treat.

This is a typical reaction to this version...loved it! If you want a base overload try "Hillbilly Bone". Thank you!

There are many VERY talented groups out there. But Home Free has won a niche for itself. You should check out some of their fun work. "All About That Bass", "Butts Remix", and the live "9 to 5". They can all beat box. They can blend and arrange. They can be serious. And they can have fun. They are truly entertainers as much as they are artists. Enjoy and thank you.

Tim's "solo" work (where he sings all the harmonies) of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay" IMO reveals his range the most. It's a wonderful way to learn what he's capable of singing.

You should check out Geoff Castellucci's cover of "Sixteen Tons". Talk about vocal range!

Did you know that Tim Foust helped both Avi Kaplan and Geoff with getting lower without vocal Fry? He has coached both it’s so awesome!

Tim's vocals at the end of the song harmonize ABOVE Rob! Gives me chills every time.

Tim’s solo album is “The Best that I Could Do”; it’s amazing 🤩. Thanks please react to more Home Free; Austin Brown; and Tim (solos and or with him featured w/Chris’s Rupp; w/Peter Hollens and or The Hound + The Fox 😉

Thank you so much for reacting to this ❤. I would love to hear you react to Geoff Castelucci with Blackbird.

They met Cam during the CMA's on the red carpet. She actually liked their cover. Tim has a 5 1/2 octave range.

There is not a dud in their catalog! Awesome!

Tim has 5+ octave range that he's working on expanding more. Chance is working on expanding his 4-5 octave range as well. I think you would really appreciate their new collab/cover of American Pie with Don McLean.

Home Free are just P H E N O M E N AL ! And yes! This rendition of Mayday is a perfect example of that! Their harmonies and arrangements are out of this world! They are by far my favourite music group! And let's not forget the "sixth member" of the group, producer Darren Rust, (a fantastic singer in his own right) who's such an expert at the mixerboard!

I love how Chance covers the bass while Tim sings during the bridge! Chance is bass/baritone. Love love love them. They sound like this in person as well. So awesome

didn't read all the comments, but Tim has a solo of "can't help falling in love" where it's his voice and (I believe) him playing the piano. It's very nice.

Many don't know that Chance was the bass in his previous band (and a good one too!) He's really underrated, I think, partly because he's the newest member!

You should also listen to Tim's duet work with Peter Hollens. Their version of Sounds of Silence is great. So close to Simon & Garfunkel original but more dynamic.

React to home free do you hear what I hear

Killed it. Smooth as a butter biscuit. Snow Globe is another shocker

Hi Christi, Its Dave Again. Sorry for the typo's. I have been "Loopified" (Dirty Loops) and "Home Fried" . ( Home Free). I love both bands a great deal. Dirty Loops are a trio from Sweden, Keys ,Bass and Drums. They are produced by Quincy Jones, who claims the singer Jonah Nillson, (amazing keyboard player) , has the widest vocal range he's ever heard. ( I agree) So much for M.J. and Stevie Wonder. The Drummer and bass player are also the best I've ever heard! The band does the same thing Home Free does. It takes cover songs and "Loopifies" them. Like Home Free, their versions are amazing and way more fun! They also write amazing originals. . In my day, I've opened for a lot of great bands. ( Doobie Bros., Tower of Power, Average White Band, Levon Helm and other great bands from that era.) These two bands have managed to outshine all of those bands and yes, I've cryed over both Bands and they both have re-awakened my passion for Music ! Again, check out Tim's "If You Still love me" and look up some Jonah Nillson. Amazing singer! Thanks for your time. Thanks again for your great reactions! Dave G.

As a Patron of Tim’s, I have been blessed to hear current original solo work as well as solo covers of groups like The Beach Boys. Yes, Super Bass Tim Foust can cover The Beach Boys and do it incredibly well. The man is unbelievably talented!

I've heard it too. Amazing!

Tim's range is 6 octaves. He can hit & sustain falsetto down to a E1b. He has worked with Geoff Castellucci (4-5 octave range) and Avi Kaplan (also a 4-5 octave range) to help them learn to sustain the low growls without hurting their voices. Geoff now does videos on YT to help others do the same. Chance is a bass from another group, but he normally is comfortable in baritone range. In this song Chance did the bass levels & Tim stayed in the tenor range to fill it out with Rob. They wanted to showcase their versatility.

Hello Christi, I love your reactions and analysis of the many artists you present. Thank you. You earned my subscription a long time ago. I especially appreciate the vocal talent of Home Free and your reactions to their songs. Now that you have done "Mayday" plus a number of other excellent Home Free videos, I respectfully suggest that you consider their cover of Crosby, Stills, and Nash's "Helplessly Hoping" for your Home Free short-list. I know others have suggested it as well, but In my opinion, it demonstrates their vocal talents in it's purest form. No fancy video editing, no spectacular percussion effects, just pure vocal artistry. I anxiously await your reaction to this beautiful creation. Take care.

something I've never heard anyone comment on is the amazingly clear diction we hear from all of the members.

If you want to hear more Austin he's got some solo stuff out, both covers and originals. His cover of Unchained Melody has more than 2 million views in just a few weeks. I'd love to hear your comments on it. Also, as many have mentioned, their newly released cover of American Pie together with Don McLean is absolutely stunning in so many ways. To me it gave the song life, a lot of life. Thank you for a great reaction! 🥰🙏

You want to be impressed by a bass with range, look at Geoff Castellucci arrangements, Blackbird or High and Dry... amazing talent. Another Rabbit hole to go down.

Hello Voice Love!! Have you ever heard of Gustavo Cerati? He was the frontman (voice, lead guitar, songwriter) for what is considered the greatest latin rock band of all time- Soda Stereo. When he died in 2014 (after a 4 year coma), Argentina declared 2 days of mourning. People came from all over latin america to fill the streets of Buenos Aires (in the rain). He was like John Lennon and Freddy Mercury rolled into one. He collaborated with Shakira, the Police, and other great artists. Recently Cirque De Solei created a show for Soda Stereo, joining only Michael Jackson, The Beatles, and other superstars. If you do a reaction, i suggest you start with Soda Stere's "profugos" from the live 2007 "Gira Me Veras Volver" tour. Cerati's tenor voice was something to behold. People throw accolades at Luis Miguel for his voice, wair till you hear Gustavo Cerati sing, its quite shocking that many people still dont know who he is...

wonderful reaction as per usual! Thank you for it! i heartily concur with your thoughts about it! Keep these wonderful reaction vids coming! and as usual....u possess true beauty to boot lol!! Take care and God Bless!!!

I have so enjoyed your site and your analysis and keeping the flow of home free's mayday. Simply The best 👌

What a glorious job you do in reacting to this song, especially during the second portion of your production. I love that you basically go through an organic reaction to the song with us, highlighting surprises, then you choose specific examples to which you apply your instructive vocal coaching expertise. What a unique approach among the many KZread reactions I have enjoyed. Thanks so much for what you do!

They are so versatile! I just love this group!! If you get the chance to see them in person you won’t regret. I have seen them once and have front row seats in November at a concert. I am 72 and a great grandma and they just make me smile! Being a vocalist myself, I so enjoy their musicianship and the arrangements are stunning!

You have to listen to „Long Black Train“ by Chris Rupp feat. Tim Foust the song is just amazing!

Music keeps the memories alive. You are a beautiful person, enjoy.

Looking at you listening to them make also my day! Your body language is so refreshing when you react to these ingenious geniuses! Voilà !

This shows we should expect the unexpected. Love your breakdown.

Before joining Home Free, Chance was the bass in another a cappella group called Street Corner Symphony. He has a 4 octave range, and his addition to the group has really opened things up for them. He and Tim can switch off on bass, letting Tim sing more in his upper register. Great reaction!

Your face while watching this is like a mirror to my own the first time! Crazy talented men! BTW love your hair!

Christi, You are by far the best reactor on the Tube! I've been a musician for 50 years and I love your passion for the music you react to. I have shed a tear or ten over Dirty Loops songs (Nessun Dorma, American Pie (a lot of tears) and a lot of your reactions. (Mary Did you Know really got me.) (have you done that song?) If want to hear Tim's real range, check out his cover of Will You still love Me Tomorrow. He's an Alien you know. Thanks for your great work!

Yes, AMERICAN PIE Is awesome, you Will love it!!! They did an amazing job with Don McLean, ye, the Original singer/song writer of it ! He’s 75, he’s Still got it !!! It’s the 50th anniversary of it !!!

The section before and after the bridge is my favourite part. Before - so many layers! Then the beatboxer Adam Rupp killing it! After - my favourite voice Adam Chance going doooown! Adam Chance keeps pretty quiet of his talents and lets Tim have the limelight, but his range is very impressive as well. He actually sings the bass here through the whole song. Looking forward to more Home Free reactions!

Wow, you are so wonderful! I don't have seen you before.

Hi Christi , my suggestion for a reaction is the Home Free cover of " My Church ".. Home Free takes us to church with a very country flavor ... also " Helplessly Hoping" a CSN cover , I am sure you would enjoy it ... Keep up the great reactions and analysis ...

Great reaction to a fantastic version of this song. It’s one of my favorite Home Free ones. Keep up the acapella reactions and please do some Voiceplay as well.

What blew me away most was Tim harmonizing higher than Rob at the end of the song. These guys are all so talented!

Another amazing one is Brother Some Girls Do Wake Me Up Good ol'Country Harmony And.... The Gambler!!! Needless to say I'm OBSESSED!!!

If you haven't already, if you really want to hear Tim's range he has one or two videos where he does all the voices. Shocking how talented he is. But they all are amazing.

So this was only the second song they did after Chance joined, replacing Chris Rupp. Now Chris Rupp has a pretty high voice so Tim was the only person in Home Free that could sing low. When Chance joined, it freed Tim up so he could do other things. This video was done to show off what they could do that most people didn't know.

Tim did "will you still love me tomorrow." Great version - Great chance to hear Tim's versatility

That was a Great React video (breakdown, chat and pauses). I reacted to Home Free much like you did, with movement (couldn’t help it). They have a way of lighting up your brain and emotions with pure amazement and joy. I stayed engaged during the vid because you were engaged in everything about HF’s music. It didn’t feel like someone doing a react video just because they were told to by their followers. Yours felt like you wanted to and that makes a difference to the audience who made the suggestion. Just wanted to let you know… well done and thank you.

Of course I habe to jump in woth some of my favorites: Everybody Walkin This Land, Helplessly Hoping, My Church, In the Blood, Hillbilly Bones, Butts Remix. . . and on and on. Thank you for appreciating this very special group that I love!

The "Boyz" always bring a smile to my face. Your reaction was priceless. Thank you for reacting to Home Free. ;-)

This was a really special one!! The way the guys share parts is so unique to Homefree, I've never known *multiple* guys in the same group working together all with such amazing ranges... And more than one bass ☺️ to make me go all knee knockingly goosey 😅🥴

If you want another good example of Tim's range an versatility, check out his duet with Peter Hollens of Greensleeves. You won't regret it!

Thank you for the reaction, your enjoyment made it great fun. There is a video of Tim's vocal range, with dozens of clips showing what he can do. Not the same as a solo, but interesting none the less. Thanks again

This gives me chills. Tim's high notes, Chance's low low notes, Adam's awesome sounds together with Rob who's sooo smooth and well Austin... I'm going to bed with his Mayday Mayday in my head and waking up the same. I love your reaction, I'm not a singer and I just know instinctively that to me this sounds great. You tell me why & after listening to lots of voice coach reactions I am beginning to hear much more in the songs. Thank you. Love it.

Tim Foust - Will you still love me tomorrow /stay is absolutely amazing and shows off his range

Tim does a cover "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" that shows his vocal range ..it is amazing.

Wonderful reaction! Helplessly Hoping and How Great Thou Art have beautiful harmonies and the beatboxer sings in both. Also, Austin Brown, the high tenor, has a few individual songs out on his KZread channel, some he wrote and some are covers. His latest release was Unchained Melody sung like you’ve never heard, and it went viral! It is the best version I’ve ever heard! Thank you for your reaction, new sub.

Austin also does a great job in their new release of "When A Man Loves A Woman". The original artist who sang this is from way back and his name was Percy Sledge. A classic! Tim and Peter Hollens have combined to do "Misty Mountains", " Bridge Over Troubled Waters" and "Sounds of Silence" all done so well as Peter's production is first class and he has his own Patreon channel. Peter and Home Free did a great collaboration with 350 Home Free Patreon followers as the chorus background that was just awesome! How about that production nightmare! Love your reactions and breakdowns!

I want to see her react to their cover of End of the Road, that’s a must too

The best❤

It's great that they got Chance, who used to sing bass in another group, when Chris left. He takes the bass line whenever Tim takes the lead on a song. If you really to hear Tim's range, check out his solo Doo Wop album where he lays down ALL the tracks. There are 12 songs on it and three of them have videos on his solo channel (Tim Foust) - Come Go With Me; Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay; and In My Room.

Tim has a five octave range. Yes he has other music out from when he was doing solo work. Great informative reaction.

Thanks for reacting to this one - it's one of my favourite Home free covers, for sure. Does anyone else find Chance's 'dancing' utterly adorable in this?

I believe there is an overlooked component in all of the Home Free videos > Immaculate editing. It may not be the best example I can suggest, but it is the most obvious one... Please check out "Meet in the Middle".
