This is an old song that was finally put to paper around 1913. It was the big hit song in the movie "Brother Where Art Thou?" with George Clooney in the lead part. It was a pre-Bluegrass, pre-Country song and is very southern U.S. in imagery and style, so the main lead on this song, Austin Brown, really played up the southern pronunciation and the early 1900s singing style. Chance (Adam Chance), the baritone in the dark vest, did harmonic overtone singing to deliver the jaw harp (used to be called jew's harp) sound. Adam Rupp did the "drums" and "harmonica". His percussion work is extremely realistic in design and execution. Tim Foust sang most of the bass. Chance covers bass when Tim is on a lead. Rob Lundquist is also a tenor and has a wonderful country tone quality that really works well on certain songs. You may have noticed he matched Austin's tone when he came in after Austin to make the song blend better. They really work hard delivering whatever the song needs. It is not about egos, which is part of what makes them excellent.

I love to watch a new person see and hear them for the first time.

The first sound…wasn’t the Beat Boxer..Adam Rupp, but, Adam CHANCE, he does the jaw harp. Said it’s not easy, but, sounds so real! They have close to 160 videos here on KZread 🥰🔥‼️. All genres. You react to more, you Will see a Lot of us Home Free Fans called Home Fries 🙃‼️, come to your channel ‼️. The Home Free rabbit hole is a Lot of Fun….hope you do more & join us here ❤️🔥‼️🥰🙃

I think you would really like their cover of "Leave This Town"

We Home Fries love to see people discover them for the first time! I've been a fan since watching them compete in, and win, the Sing-Off in 2013 (2014?). Adam Rupp is a world-champion vocal percussionist, and does an even more amazing 'harmonica' solo in 'Working for a Living'.

Get ready for the ride of your life with Home Free!!! When you become a fan, you will be called & known as a "HOME FRY!!!" Their fan base, we call ourselves "HOME FRIES!!!" Come and join our family!!!

EVERY SOUND THAT YOU HEAR, INCLUDING THE HARMONICA AND JUICE HARP IS MADE BY THE HUMAN VOICE! TIM FAUST, THE BASS, HAS A 5 OCTAVE RANGE!

Welcome to Home Free. I think their the best!!!!!

You can see it Touch her Soul, Singing used to be ceremony of Every Tribe.

Five elite vocalists. One of whom is the best bass singer in the world, and another that is literally the world champion beat boxer.

These guys are phenomenal!

You have to continue watching Home Free now that you found them. They can sing almost anything. Your face was priceless while you were watching the video.

You may like "End of the Road," a cover of Boys to Men, "How Great Thou Art," a gospel tune, or "When a Man Loves a Woman," a Percy Sledge cover. Each showcases amazing harmony in different genres.

So glad you listened to these guys. They are so awesome.

I found these guys last year. This was the first song I ever heard from them & I was instantly hooked & became a homefry. The talent of these 5 men is insane. Together they are a perfect fit & complement each other so well. There bass singer Tim Foust is the best in the business & Adam Rupp their beatboxer extraordinaire can make any sounds & is in a class by himself. Enjoy the journey into their talent, skill & humor.

You'll really love Home Free's rendition of, Take Me Home Country Roads! A John Denver cover.

As a diehard PTX fan, I must admit these guys are great also. Their beat boxer and bass singer really standout. I first heard this song in the movie Brother Where Art Thou, and when George Clooney starts dancing, I STILL can’t stop laughing!

Welcome to the world of Home Free. So, they have another 150 or so videos for you to react too, and there is not one that you will be disappointed in. Each one is performed at a high level, just like this one. Enjoy your Home Free journey.

I loved your reaction to this song, I literally cried when I listened to it...sonic perfection to me. One of few songs ever to touch me that way.

Sounds like we got another "homefry"!!! Lol love it

And if you love a capella, you should also check out Voice Play. They're the third leg of the world-class acapella triad. Favorites are: Warriors, My Mother Told Me, Butter, Bang, Hoist the Colors (from Pirates of the Caribbean), If I Were a Rich Man, and many others.

The ladies always like the bass! :)

You might like to react to Adam Rupp's drum solo preferably the latest one as he has gotten even better over the years. He's the "beatboxer", although Adam Chance was doing the jaw harp in the beginning and ending. The song was first written down in 1913, but it was around many years before that...

Adam the beatboxer did the harmonic and drums. It was Chance the one with brown hat and black vest that did the jaw harp at beginning and end.

I love watching first-timers succumb to the magic that is Home Free. You have just begun the amazing journey that their music will take you on! You can’t go wrong with anything they do. They just released Bless the Broken Road and it’s incredible.

You're a sucker for country music AND a cappella? Your prayers have been answered! Others have recommended many of HF's excellent songs, most of which are covers. There is only one mistake you can make with Home Free -- listening to their excellent cover of "Mayday" too soon. (You'll understand when you get there!) In order to appreciate it fully, you have to be familiar with all the guys and their voices. For most reactors, that takes at least 6 of HF's "normal" songs.

BY THE WAY, THEY ARE BACK ON TOUR. WATCH FOR THEM TO HIT CLOSE TO YOU. THERE CONCERTS ARE UNBELIEVABLE. THEY DO SO MUCH MORE IN THEIR SONGS THAN IN THE VIDEOS.

THEIR CONCERTS {SOME TAKEN BY AN AUDIENCE MEMBER AND SOME OFFICIAL VIDEOS BY THEIR CAMERA CREW {RUSSELL WOLFE PRODUCTIONS} THE VIDEOS ARE ON YOU TUBE. WATCHING THE CONCERTS, YOU WILL GET AN IDEA WHAT YOU'RE IN FOR IF YOU ARE ABLE TO SEE THEM IN PERSON.

Welcome to Home free, You say you love country. You have to hear them do Ring of Fire, by Johnny Cash. Ave from Penatatonix sings with them. Great bubble base. Also the How Great Thou Art. They are the only country A Cappello around, They do tons of other thing also. The group started 20 some yrs ago, Adam , the beat boxer and hid brother Chris started it, Chris moved on, but you see him in allot of their early stuff. He usually wars a cowboy hat. Adam Chase took his place. He goes by Chase, because there are the two Adams.

Oh yes! Ring of fire reaction has been recorded and will be posted tomorrow! Mind blowing!

Yay, you made it to Home Free… Pentaholic and Home Fry here… certainly check out Voice Play and Geoff Castellucci too. So much talent out there.

What a delightful reaction! Most anything by Home Free is wonderful. Home Free does a lot of country, but does other genres, as well (and does them well). Since you like Pentatonix and now Home Free, you may want to check out Voice Play (check out their latest--"Hoist the Colors" from "The Pirates of the Caribbean"), Peter Hollens (check out his collaboration with Tim Foust--the bass from Home Free doing "Misty Mountains" from "The Hobbit"), and Voctave (check out their "Disney Princess Medley" and "The Great Movie Medley"--their tribute to John Williams). These are the best a capalla artists around today.

The total range of this group covers the lowest note on the piano, up to where your kitten curls on the last octave, with a little paw out. One of the members has this range except for the lowest note. All but one of the singers can sing higher than I did as a teen. The fun is to determine the beat vs. the lyrical, the lead vs. harmonics; and when they switched!! It isn't always who you think.

New sub for more a cappella music. On top of the suggestions you have already been given I am going to add a few more. Hillbilly Bone, Thank God I'm a Country Boy, One Man Band, Workin For a Livin, Meet in the Middle, Folsom Prison Blues and Sold. In the newer videos our bass man Tim cut his hair and let the grey come out.

It was so satisfying to observe your reaction, as sometimes, those of us who are long time fans of Home Free become complacent about their enormous talent. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Home Free! I will make a prediction that you will, indeed, be a full fledged 'Home Fry,' as all of the die-hard fans of Home Free are called 'Home Fries!' (and proudly so) There is nothing like discovering, for yourself, their collective contributions. Each and every one of them are talented enough to be considered as stand-alone artists. Though they are considered a country styled a capella band, their versatility is sure to surprise and please you, as they have all of their fans. Please do take the time to do as many reactions of Home Free and I will watch everyone you do. Keep well and God Bless!

Great reaction!! Home Free has the most talented singers and beatboxer, their talent is on a whole other level. For your next Home Free song my suggestion would be a song called End of the Road and another one called Helplessly Hoping. Both are done beautifully by Home Free.

Home Free, good friends with Pentatonix, is a spectacular a cappella group. For something more contemporary check out their cover of Boyz II Men's "End of the Road" and to touch your soul their rendition of "How Great Thou Art". For a fun country creation check out their cover of Blake Shelton's "Hillbilly Bone". BTW, this was their rendition of a very old folk tune probably best known due to the George Clooney Movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou".

Lady your reaction made me smile so hard my cheeks are hurting. Their beat boxer is incredible with the percussion and harmonica sounds but I believe it is Chance that is doing the Jew Harp sound u mention in this one. I was with u in ur first reaction to Dimash (I discovered Dimash for myself almost 4 years ago now). I subscribed at that time. So now let me welcome u also to Home Free. You MUST do a reaction to the Home Free cover of the Crosby Stills and Nash classic "Helplessly Hoping". Trust me...u wont regret it. It is an incredible display of their straight 5 man harmonies (including their beat boxer simply singing with his beautiful voice as well). It is a capella as u have never seen it. These guys are truly fantastic. Thanks again!

Welcome to the world of Home Free. Great reaction! As a "Home fry" I will say this: You are in for a good ride with the best group out there. Yes, the Pentatonix and Voiceplay are also good but I like H.F. better. If you like country you should listen to Ring of fire and Folsom prison blues. Two iconic Johnny Cash songs that they made - I dare to say - better than original. They made their own, modern tuch to them. In Ring of fire they have Avi Kaplan - the former bass from Pentatonix - as a guest. That song was recorded some years ago and at that time the beatboxers - Adam Rupp - brother Chris was in the group. It was those two who started the group 20 years ago. As said in earlier comments - wait until you play Mayday. Get to know these boys first.

I just subscribed!! Welcome to HOME FREE HOME FREE is a county A Capella band (NO INSTRUMENTS) that does more than just country. Tim Foust, the bass (5 octave range) , Adam Rupp, the beatboxer (freak of nature), Adam Chance (Chance) is the baritone/bass, since 2016, he took over for Chris Rupp (one of the founders of the group), Rob Lundquist, tenor and Austin Browm high tenor make up the voices of angels. PLEASE listen to more.. If I know my Home Free family well (Home Fries) , they have already given you suggestions of music. LOL Thanks for the reaction

Home Free is an a cappella group consisting of 5 men. Austin is lead singer, next is Rob who sounds similar, then there's Adam Rupp the beat-boxer/sound effects man, then there's Tim Foust the bass singer(a 5 octave singer(G1-G5)) and last is Adam Chance who was doing the background Didgeridoo sound in it.. and is the last man seen...Look at their lips to see what their doing...it helps with these a cappella groups....

Wow indeed!!! These guys are fantastic!!

they have Adam Rupp 2 time beatboxing world champion his brother was part of the group for a time and he also does different sounds

Sorry I'm late for the party, I'm always happy when someone new discovers Home Free. It's amazing when they realize that every sound is made by their mouths. I'm going to enjoy riding down the rabbit hole with you. My suggestion is their cover of 'How Great Thou Art', and their cover of 'Do You Hear What I Hear'. Enjoy!

Oh girly..... u should watch the early once .... "O HOLY NIGHT".... "DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR" ... those are an insane magical voice control beauties ;)))))

try Dive Bar Saints that whole group of songs will not only showcase their harmonies, it will also showcase their writing abilities as amlost all the songs were written by members of the group.

You have a humble nature, so I'm not too sure you're even aware of the gentle, sweet spirit you project. It's quite endearing and gives an insight to those who care to notice a glimpse into your heart.

Save "Mayday" for a while. In order to enjoy it fully, you have to be familiar with all the guys and their voices.

I'm so happy that your reaction was the way that I feel about them as well. I'm so blown away every.single.time. 🥰

You have just been introduced to my favorite acapella group of all time! (Just slightly ahead of Pentatonix.) I love watching first-time reactions to Home Free, and yours was wonderful! They started here in my state of Minnesota, and they are simply phenomenal. This is the group: Rob Lundquist (far left): Smooooth tenor vocals and a constant source of humor. Adam Chance (left, back row): Goes by Chance to avoid confusion with the other Adam. Wonderful baritone/bass voice who takes over on bass when Tim takes the lead. Austin Brown (center): Soaring high tenor vocals, and sometimes adds in some subtle yodeling. Adam Rupp (right, back row): The walking percussion machine. Drums, harmonica, and so much more, all coming from his mouth. Pretty sure he's not human. Tim Foust (far right): The dragon. He has an incredible range, and his lowest notes come from the mines of Moria. In some older videos, you will see a gentleman with very little hair who's usually wearing a cowboy hat. That's Chris Rupp, Adam's brother, who left the group a few years ago to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Chance. Everything they do is pure gold, and here are some suggestions: "How Great Thou Art" and "Helplessly Hoping" (sheer vocal perfection), "Ring of Fire" and "Folsom Prison Blues" (for more of Tim's insane low notes and Adam's "harmonica"), "All About That Bass" and "The Butts Medley" (for their hilariously goofy side), "End of the Road" and "Blue Ain't Your Color" (for some different styles), and my favorite Home Free song, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" Have fun on your Home Free journey, and welcome to our fan group known as the Home Fries!! 😁

Home Free is the real deal. They’re so good. I just discovered them last year during the pandemic and they are amazing. They won the NBC show the Sing Off in 2013 the year after Pentatonix. They are a country band but also sing all genres of music. They are known for incredible harmonies. Try Helplessly Hoping, One Man Band, Bless the Broken Road and How Great Thou Art for wonderful harmonies. Wonderful reaction Sarah!

Just did something I almost NEVER do ... I subscribed after seeing this first Reaction to our guys. Normally, I have to see several Reactions to them before I subscribe, but your reactions were so open and honest that I broke my pattern ;) Our guys can do it all, and as another poster already said the ONLY thing you can do wrong is to listen to Mayday too soon. It has more than one jaw-dropping moment in it, and you will simply not catch them if you do it before you know our guys well. The Trifecta of Acapella groups are Home Free, Pentatonix (PTX) and Voice Play. The Trifecta of Basses are Tim Foust (of Home Free, with an almost 6 Octave range), Avi Kaplan (formerly of PTX, with a 5 Octave range) and Geoff Castellucci (of Voice Play, also a 5 Octave range). Enjoy!!

Actually, the song itself is older than both Country and Bluegrass music as separate genres. If you had to fit it into a genre, it's probably folk music or maybe originally a string band or fiddle tune. But rather than trying to categorize it, I think we should just enjoy it, like everything Home Free does. :)

Beautiful reaction

I felt the same way the first time I heard them, your real thanks!

Sarah, your enjoyment of this new discovery was magical to watch. Like you, I first got into Pentatonix songs and later discovered this amazing group. The PTX fans are known as Pentaholics; the Home Free fans as Home Fries. Recommend to you their expansive "How Great Thou Art", expertly directed and staged in the Swiss Alps, their brilliant black and white cover of Crosby, Stills & Nash's "Helplessly Hoping", and ther recently released highly comedic cover of Huey Lewis and the News' song "Workin' For a Living", plus their outdoor country song "My Church", their rousing "Elvira" with the Oak Ridge Boys and the Johnny Cash song "Ring of Fire" with Avi from Pentatonix.
