I've seen them live three times. All three times Tim has literally shaken the building with his low notes. Completely unassisted beyond the volume provided by the sound system. Also, ten years in and I've just learned to accept that Adam (the beatboxer) swallowed an entire orchestra at some point in his life and just lets out random bits of impossible from time to time.

@@ditdiver123 i answered this somewhere else...it is Tuvan Throat Singing. Singing 2 distinct notes simultaneously. i had earlier stated i can sing a C# 1, but not without vocal fry. Singing bass like Tim without fry or vibrato...totally clean, imo is perhaps the rarest vocal ability, given that no male past puberty can sing true soprano, given that castrati has been illegal since the 18th century. i also cannot name a male singer who could reach whistle register, ever. Many sources cite Countertenor as being the rarest male vocal type, and contralto voice as being rarest overall. i would still contend that a pure bass, below the piano is the rarest male vocal. i have heard Tim use fry to go even deeper, and that is tough on the voice. People think high notes are harder on the throat. While harder to hit high notes with age, singing in Tim's, or even fry type bass demands 2 difficult things. One, is your vocal folds must be fully opened and relaxed, and two, you have to push a lot of air to do so, since the folds cannot help compress the air from your diaphragm to extend your note holding ability. In my own personal experience, extended use of my deepest bass has put my voice on the shelf for a week or 2 a few times. Going for my highest note...technically i have 4.2 octaves, 50 semitones, has never caused me anything but occasional embarrassment when it cracks. When i say technically, i can go from C# 1, up to D# 5. However, it is best that i avoid those extremes that were once quite available, now that i am older. Simply to preserve my vocal ability longer.

I get some of my best chuckles watching classically trained analysts give "first exposure" opinions of Home Free. The incredible range and control of the 4 primary singers, combined with the impossible sounds of the beat box master, forces EVERYONE to listen multiple times to every tune from this amazing group.

P.s. Adam Rupp is the co-founder of the group and he is the equivalent of a human sound/instrument/beat machine his beatboxing solos are phenomenal!!!!!!

Like Avi Kaplan and Geoff Castelucci, Tim has insane natural subharmonics, and they can definitely mess with the amps. I sang in a group with a man who had a similar vocal range, and when he sang in the lower octaves he actually had to hold the mic further away. In a studio you can control that reverb but live, it's always a risk you just have to take.

Listen to more of their songs. Any and all. Everything they do, even independently, is pretty spectacular.

There is nothing remastered on this… Everything you’re hearing is coming from their mouth‘s. No sound effects whatsoever. The drums the harmonica… EVERYTHING! Those guys are incredible!

Another freakishly talented aCapella group. I have heard them live and have tickets for another show and I can guarantee you that is their real voices. They cover a very wide range and have a number of originals. Considering the history of this song they were kind of singing "in character". The one you kept calling a baritone is actually their bass but he has a 5+ octave range and he was nowhere near his lowest on this song. Looking forward to more Home Free reactions.

They are one of the best Acapella groups ever.

The sound is bluegrass, my favorite kind of music.

Tim Foust has a bass voice that us bass singers can only wish for, absolutely amazing!! That beatboxing master Adam Rupp makes more sounds than an orchestra, not sure how he does it but WOW!! Overall these guys take a back seat to NOBODY AT ALL!!!

When you say "they're definitely from the South" it's amazing what happens when people grow up together.

Every sound comes from them. I laugh when people keep insisting there are harmonicas, mouth harps and other instruments being used. This has become my favorite vocal group. Every one of them is amazingly talented, but they are humble and work together so well.

Check out their cover Crosby, Stills and Nash's "Helplessly Hoping" (amazing harmonies), Boyz II Men's "End of the Road", Cam's "Mayday" and John Denver's "Take Me Home Country Roads" to get a sense of the diversity of their work. They also have a great collaboration with Avi Kaplan who is a good friend from another fantastic a cappella group, Pentatonix, covering Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire", with mind blowing low notes. And their rendition of "How Great Thou Art" is not to be missed...stunning harmonies amid a spectacular backdrop; anyone with a soul will be moved.

The front middle man has a naturally Southern country voice being from South Georgia but he does lean into it on this song. He grew up singing Southern gospel and then trained in vocal theater in college. Three of them are from the deep South but they can sing anything.

Song by Home Free you might want to react to.. Ring of Fire, Everyone walking this land, Butts Remix, End of the Road and Mayday... You should have a few songs under your belt before listening to Mayday. I don't think they have a bad song out there. Looking forward to see more of your reactions.

This is the song that got me hooked on them so long ago. By the way, you haven't heard Tim go REALLY low! He is a true basso profundo with a 5 octave range. To hear really low listen to Folsom Prison Blues, nothing is assisted, they sound like this in concert. Potentially.
