The group originally formed in Mankato, MN, with founders Chris Rupp and his brother Adam Rupp (the beat boxer), in 2000. They added Rob Lundquist, lead tenor (guy with overalls and thick beard in this video), Tim Foust (deep bass, has a 5-octave range), and Austin Brown as high tenor (guy singing first in this video). And in 2016 Chris left the group on good terms and helped select his replacement, Adam Chance, the baritone (he goes by Chance to not be confused with the other Adam). The group won the 4th season of The Sing Off on NBC. They are the only country all-vocal group out there, but they do other styles too. Hope that helps, and you're going to LOVE going down this rabbit hole!

You’re going to be blown away by them. Their cover of Dire Straits “Brothers in Arms” is off the charts…. Haunting and emotional. They do not have a bad song.

Tissue-worthy.

If you react to more Home Free, resist the temptation to assume one or another is the 'lead' singer. It varies dramatically from song to song and often within a single song. They always, ALWAYS, let the music dictate who the lead is - if there even is a lead - which is why, in my opinion, their covers are often better than the originals.

Welcome to Home Free. They virtually cover all genres. Check out Ring of fire, Blue ain’t your color, wake me up, End of the road, Castle on the Hill. You can’t go wrong with them.

You guys are going to find a lot of people in this rabbit hole by the way Home Free fans are called Home Fries and we welcome everyone that choose to ride the slide.

Home Free is just exceptional. All of them have stellar voices. They are just as good live as they are in studio. You will not be disappointed by anything they do.

This song is very very old. 1st written down in 1913 and 1st known recording is 1928. It's down in Bluegrass style. Home Free has over 180 videos on KZread. They lean "country" but do all genres of music. To get the depth of their considerable talent try to listen to a few of these covers & originals by them... (Covers) Some Girls Do, One-Man Band, American Pie with Don McLean, When a man loves a woman, Cover me up, & Country Roads, (Originals) Dreamer, Dive Bar Saints, Lonely Girls World, and Cross that Bridge...their talent is unbelievable

You will love them... and Voice Play (if you haven't encountered them as well). They competed on NBC'S The Sing Off. They've remained friends, and Geoff Castelucci & Layne Stein actually arrange music for them , and they have cameo appearances in randon videos. Avi Caplan (formerly the bass for Pentatonix) appears in Ring Of Fire, and Champagne Taste On A Beer Budget. Tim Faust (Vass of Home Free) appears in Voice Play's video Just Sing.

I found these guys last year. This was the first song I ever heard from them & I was instantly hooked. 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. They lean towards country but can sing any genre. They are my favorite a cappella group. 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.

(I'm new to this page) but have they attempted Voice Play (My Mother Told Me or Oogey Boogey Man) or their bass, Geoff Castellucci : 16 tons, Take Me Home Country Road, Misty Mountains or Monster Mash? Once a reactor discovers Acapella they never really get back to normal

There was a TV Show called "Sing-Off", which was an Acappela competition. These guys won the 4th season in 2012, but were preceded the prior year by a group called Pentatonix, who won the 3rd season. Home Free is a terrific group, but it was Pentatonix thAT transformed the Acapella genre to the mainstream music world. There is an interesting backstory to Pentatonix, but it's sufficient to say that In the past 10 years, they have accumulated nearly 20 MILLION(!) subscribers; about 7 BILLION(!) views of their 400+ videos; 3 Grammys; multiple platinum albums; tons of concerts; TV Appearances; and 4 world-tours (all sellouts). For new novices to them, I would recommend you start with their video of "Hallelujah" (660,000,000 views), followed by "Daft Punk", "Bohemian Rhapsody"...then do one of their "Evolution" videos (Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Ariana Grande, Rihana, Music). After that, just throw a dart at their playlist....they are truly FANTASTIC !!! You've entered the rabbit hole, now enjoy the journey

I absolutely love everything Home Free, their covers of When a Msn loves a Woman, Folsom Prison Blues, Hillbilly Bone, My Maria etc etc. More please!❤️

Thank you "Uncle Ed"!!! You guys are about to explode on this channel. Us Home Fries are a fiercely loyal bunch, always following the HF love! Great reaction guys, looking forward to more. 😉🥰

Everybody is recommending some great song but they're skipping the sillier ones. They put together a lot of amazing videos during the quarantine while they were stuck in and around their separate homes in 3 different states. A partial list: Quarantine, Meet in the Middle, Sunday Best, Down to the Honkytonk. And then there is the amazing song by Peter Hollens feat. Home Free, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. Tim Foust (bass) wrote Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget and it sequel Full of Cheer. There's Guilty Pleasures (2 slightly different versions -- one with "derailed" in the title and one without -- watch them both) and (from a live show) Songs That Didn't Make the Cut. Check out Love Train. So, so many songs. I'm going to stop with their wonderful collaborations with the original singer/group with Elvira (The Oak Ridge Boys), Children Go Where I Send Thee (Kenny Rogers), and American Pie (Don McLean).

All of them sing and have phenomenal ranges. Even the beat boxer can sing

You have gone somewhere that no one returns from, the Home Free rabbit hole. You guys will appreciate the "Butt Remix" as one of their sillier releases, their discography is vast and amazing. Came to your channel for your Kpop am happy to see young people interested in a capella, have been listening to a capella since I was young (am still young at heart).

This is rabbit hole you will really enjoy, they have a diverse range of genres you won't believe and they have incredible voices.

When a song doesn't need a beatboxer, Adam Rupp sings tenor. He is the only original member of the group from 2000 when he was in high school. Rob Lundquist joined in 2008, Tim Foust and Austin Brown became members in 2012 and finally Adam Chance in 2016. Chance was the one doing the jaw harp sounds at the intro and outro. FYI These guys frames match their voices. They are all tall between 6'2" and 6'4".

For superb harmony and chills check out their version of "Brothers In Arms".

Just subbed when I saw this reaction! They are a crazy talented group of Gentlemen. They have over 150 songs all are fabulous! Us Home Fries will be along for the ride. Thanks for a great reaction!

Great reaction and thanks for sharing. Yes, the rabbit hole is deep. Check out 'Helplessly Hoping' if you really want to see them harmonize and blow you away. Chris

Glad yall found Home Free there awesome so many good songs to choose from have fun

Great reaction. This was the first one of theirs that I heard as well. Deep rabbit hole. They do almost every genre and do them well. Including some comedic ones. They like to have fun. "Blue ain't your colour" "Folsom Prison Blues" and Their cover of Boyz2 Men "End of the Road" are good ones to get started.

Just subbed... love Home Free! To see more of the beatboxer, search Adam Rupp Drum Solo... you can see how amazing he is! For more Home Free, check out their cover of End of the Road or Folsom Prison Blues. Great reaction!

Chris Rupp, one of the founders, left the group and now has his own reaction channel on KZread. "Chris Rupp Reactions" will show videos about their beginnings in High School choir. For your next reaction do their cover of Johnny Cash's song "Ring Of Fire". They feature Avi Kaplan former Bass singer of Pentatonix, another Acapella group. You just heard "Tim Foust", Home Free's bass singer, so teaming up with Avi for double bass on this song is a very nice treat. As a bonus, after you react to it you can go to Chris Rupp's reaction channel for his reaction to the video, since he's the one who set up the video and edited the final cut. So you get some inside info on how it all went down . You guys will know more about the band than your Uncle! 👍😎

Great reaction! The guys of Home Free are amazingly talented gentlemen. They each have wonderful voices and could easily have successful solo careers. Thankfully they want to keep Home Free together. They all sing lead (except the beatboxer Adam) and they choose the lead depending on which singer’s voice fits the sound they want for each song. If you like the harmonica that Adam did, then check out Home Free’s cover of Working For a Living. He has a harmonica solo in it that is amazing! Also, the video shows their names in the beginning, so you can match the name to the face and the voice. Thank you for reacting to Home Free!

Please continue with home free... Love it..

Welcome to Home Free. I have been a fan since they first sang on the The Sing Off, and rooted them on all the way to winning the show. Each of them are phenomenal at what they do. They have a wide variety of songs, some covers, some original, many different genre's, some so funny that you can't help but laugh. They always put a smile on my face, unless i am crying (which they have made me do on several occasions). But it is because of who they are that keeps me a die hard fan. And they have the BEST fans!! Home Fry for life!! React to more and i will gladly sub and enjoy every reaction.

I loved your reaction.. It is great to see people discovering Home Free.. These guys are so talented and sing a wide variety of music. One of my favorites is In The Blood, which is a John Mayer cover. Oh and I did subscribe.. Please continue with more Home Free.

I recommend you to check out acapella group called Pentatonix as well! Especially their Daft Punk medley

The song is over 100 years old and was made popular by George Clooney in the movie O Brother Where Art Thou. Home Free is the real deal. I discovered them during the pandemic and fell in love. They won the NBC show the Sing Off (2013). They are country but sing all genres and they can all sing lead depending on the song. They have amazing voices and are known for their harmonies. Tim Foust, the bass, has a 5 octave range so he can sing super low but also up in the tenor range. Lead here was Austin Brown, Rob Lundquist was second lead (glasses). Adam Chance in the back and Adam Rupp is the beatboxer. Adam Rupp Drum Solo (2015) will knock your socks off. He’s an incredible Beatboxer and has won championships. They sing covers but also write and sing their own songs. Try Country Roads, Helplessly Hoping, Brothers in Arms, In the Blood to hear more amazing harmonies. Also a great group is Pentatonix - try Daft Punk…it will amaze you. A cappellla is great! Great reaction boys!

So excited to see Home Free! They are my favorite and will absolutely be back for more of them! You guys are fun! Thank you so much 🤗❤️

This is nothing lol! They cover several genres of music and have originals as well. I'm subbing right now because I love watching someone new to Home Free! Try "End of the Road". Also, theres videos of their beatboxer, Adam Rupp, doing a "Drum Solo" that you should check out. This group is phenomenal! They also have an amazing sense of humor. Absolutely loved your reaction and cant wait to see more.

Awesome reaction! This is one of my favorites by them. If I had to pick one song by them to recommend to y'all it would be their O Holy night. That one is phenomenal. The talent these men have is outstanding. If you want another a capella group to react to it's Pentatonix. They won The Sing-Off the year before Home Free did. Start out with Hallelujah first. It has over 650 million views. Then do their Daft Punk medley...they won a Grammy for this one. You will be blown away by this group. Totally in a league of their own. Thanks for sharing your reaction with us. Sending you love from Texas!!

It's always entertaining to see people reacting to them for the first time 😊 And of course, they are insane!

Austin Brown started popping up on my feed at the beginning of covid. Then one day, Austin popped up again with Tim Foust - who I had never heard nor seen - and they did "My Maria". You MUST check this out! You won't believe Tim's range. After the song, they come on and chat and my ears/brain had a difficult time realizing Tim's speaking voice was coming out of his mouth after having heard him do nothing but a clear, precise falsetto! These guts are amazing!

They literally can sing everything their Christmas music is unbelievable plus mayday will also show the difference in voices and also when a man loves a woman is unbelievable then they have a funny butts song they don’t take themselves so seriously

Home Free is really great. All have their own specialties. They don't really have a lead singer. They see which song suits whom. A few recommendations: End of the Road, Brother of Arms, How Great thou art, Dreamer, Mayday.... But actually everything is good. Sometimes serious but other times just hilarious. With so much fun... Really a little bit of everything. Adam Rupp(the founder with his brother Chris who left the group in 2016) is inhuman with his beatboxing/vocal instrument sounds. The Mouth harp at the beginning and end comes from Adam Chance (Baritone) He also sometimes takes care of the Bass when Tim Foust (amazing Bass but can also sing Tenor) sings the lead. Austin Brown is an incredible High Tenor with amazing runs. Rob Lundquist is a tenor with a voice like an angel and a lot of soul. All of them can beatbox, by the way. Then watch the live performance of the song 9to5

The most versatile singer in the group is their bass singer, Tim Foust. He has a five octave range. He’s gets to show it off on his latest solo single, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. kzread.info/dash/bejne/apaCm8Sgp7WWdKw.html

Just seen this reaction and had to sub for more Home Free. They are my favorite group!! I'm sure others have suggested songs so I'll just wait for the next one cause you can't go wrong with anything they do,, it's all great and it's a deep rabbit hole!!!

Welcome to the world of Home Free and a cappella. They are a phenomenal singing group with a large repertoire. You really can't go wrong listening to anything that they do, but here are a few suggestions to highlight their versatility (in no particular order) for country... Ring of Fire, Take Me Home Country Roads and Folsom Prison Blues; for religious... How Great Thou Art and My Church; for patriotic... God Bless the USA and Brothers in Arms; early rock... American Pie (featuring the original artist, Don McLean, 50 years after it was released); for R&B... When a Man Loves a Woman and End of the Road; for humor... Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget and their Butts Medley. That should keep you busy, but it only scratches the surface. And if you'd like a little more of their beatboxer, Adam Rupp, check out his drum solo from one of their live performances. It will blow your mind! Finally, while you're on this a cappella adventure, please take the time to check out these three other fantastic a cappella groups, Pentatonix (Hallelujah), VoicePlay (Oogie Boogie's Song, from the Nightmare Before Christmas), and Voctave (Disney Love Medley). You will not be disappointed! Onward into the void!

Pentatonix and Voice Play also would blow you away .

Great reaction - more Home Free, please! Enjoy the journey down the Home Free rabbit hole.

Your uncle has great taste - this is easily my favorite Home Free song! I'll let other people suggest what songs to do next, but most everything they do is fabulous. If you go down the a cappella rabbit hole, I fully expect that you'll start getting a ton of requests for Pentatonix and VoicePlay soon. You're in for a hell of a trip!

Thanks for reacting to Home Free, I just subscribed. They cover all genres of music and don’t let the sad song fool you, they are hilarious. If you need a laugh check out their “Butt’s Melody”, “Hillbilly Bone”, or “Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget”. Their version of “End of the Road” is awesome as is “Ring of Fire”. Enjoy the ride, y’all will be “Home Fries” before you know it!

Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! Have a fantastic time going down it! It’s great!!! Can’t wait for your next reaction to home free

They do so many great songs from covers to originals. End of the road is excellent and one of my personal favorites is everybody walking this land

The song was published in 1917. Its the story of a guy who got into trouble with the law and had to leave the State of Kentucky for the rest of his life.

Looking forward to you checking out more Home Free. I really enjoy watching people discovering them for the first time.

I love it when people discover Home Free. 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, I Swear, and Folsom Prison Blues. For some funny ones: Butts Medley, All About That Bass, Champagne Taste, Hillbilly Bone. For some serious ones: How Great Thou Art, Go Rest High On That Mountain. There isn't a designated lead singer, per se. The group decides who should take the lead on any given song. They have a silly, fun side, but they have a serious side, too. 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. Great reaction!Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! I subscribed for more Home Free!

Best way to get to know Home Free would be to react to their live performances on the show the SingOff where they won and kick started their career

Welcome to Home Free and the Home Fries! Enjoy the ride!

LOL it is great to see your faces when Adam “plays” the harmonica, please react to more Home Free. All the suggestions would be great, because they only have great songs

Technically these guys are all lead singers , all 5 members have amazing vocal abilities

All of their music is amazing

Great reaction thanks for sharing. You'll never miss the instruments with Homefree. Their covers all top notch and cover everything from Boys 2 Men, End of the Road, Butts Remix, Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire and Folsom prison blues, When a Man Loves a Woman by Percy Sledge. Subscribed

When you're at it. Check PTX and Voiceplay too. For more home free, Your man and Ring of fire is great

I had to sub for more Home Free! There really is no bad songs that they do. I would highly suggest their "When A Man Loves a Woman", "Butts Medley", "Helplessly Hoping", and "My Church".

The drum set is the harmonica player and he's got a beautiful voice as well

I've seen these guys live three times and I have met two of them. Ran into Austin randomly on the street before a concert in Kalamazoo. . I met Rob before a signing event also in Kalamazoo, I know Chris the founder through patreon. So I can honestly say I know half of them. 3 out of 6? They're all awesome guys and the most unbelievable acapella group in the world. I remember the concert in Troy Ohio a few years back. It sounded just as good as any edited video I've ever listend d to. They're really that good...

So excited to see you fall down this rabbit hole. They are insane good!

Home Fry here! Love the reactions. Look forward to hearing many more on your channel. Can see you have many suggestions for reactions. You might also enjoy Chris Rupp (one of the brothers one started this group) and Tim Faust doing Long Black Train.

Welcome to the Home Fry journey. I've been amazed and love Home Free!

Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. All the guys sing. These guys are amazing.

Home Free does it all.. silly, fun and raucous, serious, love songs, and all with fabulous vocals. If you like Supernatural and acapella, check out Carry on Wayward Son by Voice Play. They are the third leg of the world class acapella trifecta (along with Pentatonix and Home Free).

They ALL can sing their butts off! They have so many songs to choose from. The bass can cover a 5 octave range! They have funny videos and serious ones. If you are feeling patriotic check out God Bless the USA featuring Lee Greenwood who wrote the song and the Singing Sargents of the Air Force band. It will give you chills! Also Dire Straights Brothers in Arms.

Home Free-- the guys don't always have the same lead singers they mix it up alot!❤

New sub! Love HOME FREE! They have an extensive and impressive catalog of videos and I don’t think you could go wrong choosing any one of them. I look forward to more HF, and anything else you may share.

Check out their cover of “When a man loves a woman” Epic!

Just to add a few notes (so many have already given details about Home Free). Austin (high tenor from Georgia, now lives in Tennessee) was doing the lead in this song; Rob (tenor from Minnesota) beard and wearing glasses; Tim (bass from Texas, now lives in Tennessee); Adam Chance (baritone from Alabama, now lives in California) goes by Chance and was doing the mouth harp; and Adam Rupp (beatboxer from Minnesota) who has been called a human drum kit. He does castanets in their Sea Shanty Medley. He's awesome!

This song was written over one hundred years ago. It was used in the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou.

Home Free- End of the Road, God Bless the broken Road, Hillbilly Bone, in the The Blood, Never gonna Give you up, when a Man Loves a Woman, Mayday, Butts Remix, Dreamer, Catch me if You can, Ring of Fire, Folsom Prison Blues and the list goes on and on. They are the best. Their Beat Boxer is a two time world champion.

Enjoyed your reaction. As a Home Fry, I request more Home Free reactions!! HF is absolutely awesome and slay the songs they do. Signed, new sub

And down the Home Free rabbit hole you go ... enjoy !!!

Welcome to the amazing rabbit hole of Home free! Enjoy the ride, boys!!

All acapella. Their live performance is just as good as their videos. BTS and Home Free, my two favorite groups. Woohoo!!

I love how perceptive you are about who sings what. A lot of people miss things like the bass line, drums and who's singing what. Glad you appreciate the layers!! Also, the bass, Tim Faust, is a BEAST. This is just the tip of the iceberg

I saw HomeFree Live a couple years ago and THEY ARE AMAZING IN PERSON 😫🙌🙌🙌

Sam Winchester aka Tim Foust does a number of collaborations with Peter Hollens an a cappella godfather and master of vocal layering, their rendition of “ Misty Mountains” is worth a listen.

You can't go wrong with this group. Plus they have a very loyal fan base who love watching oth3r people discover Home Free.

New sub here! Welcome to this amazing rabbit hole! They have so much material to go through. Lots of fun songs: Butts Remix, Sold, Hillbilly Bone, Honey I'm Good to start with. More serious songs: Brothers In Arms, Go Rest High On That Mountain, How Great Thou Art. We Home Fries (their fan base) will be here for the reactions!

Sam Winchester 🤣🤣🤣 Well said

They just came out with a new cover "Amazed" which is great. Adam Rupp is phenomenal in laying out the rythym for the group and Tim laying out the bottom for the group touild on. I just saw them live in Mobile. They're every bit as good live as recorded. I've been a Home Fry for over two years now. The Charasmatic Voice did a wonderful interview with Tim a month ago. Brother in Arms and End of the Road are great.Try "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" to check out Tim's Range and versatility. v/r Jim Hester

You have now jumped down the Home Free rabbit hole. After watching many songs you will become "Home Fries".

You have only touched the tip of the iceberg. They are awesome no matter what genre they decide to sing in.

Welcome to the land of Home Fries!! When I first fell into the rabbit hole, I went from there oldest songs to current. It is awesome to watch there growth and creativity come about since the pandemic.

Every song from them is top of the line.

I think you'd also enjoy Voiceplay. Their bass vocalist has one of of the wildest/widest ranges I've ever heard in a human.

Thanks, Uncle...

When I first heard it, I didn't even listen to the lyrics because I was so amazed at how clean the harmonies were and how they were making those harmonica and mouth harp sounds and ... then the bass.

Loved your reaction....I just subbed for more Home Free! This was a great one to start with! Any one of the 4 guys can take lead...it just depends on the song! If you want to hear all 4 plus amazing beat boxing...check them out singing American Pie and they are singing it with Don McLean the original artist! Let the Home Free journey begin!

I think that most of us had the same reaction as you both did when watching them and hearing them for the first time! lol My suggestion would for you to watch and listen to their cover of Helplessly Hoping, it is a perfect contrast to this song as it could not be any different but still amazing! They have a ton of songs, you really can't go wrong with any of them. Happy listening!

They are fantastic live you must check out their Boyz II Men cover of end of the road not so twangy. And Adam Rupps drum solo. Yeah if you like beatboxing he's a world champion and does more than just drums check it out, I had the pleasure of seeing it lives spectacular! And kudos to their producer Darren.

Subbed, just because of Home Free and also you mentioned Supernatural, my favorite tv show!

In the words of Rob...(scratch rap) "here we go"!!! ❤️ Hug Uncle Ed!!! He knows his stuff!!!

That sound effect is called his “no-monica”. And the bass, Tim Foust, has a 5-octave range!

Chris Rupp, the founder and former member of Home Free has a channel here and he's having a mini doc series about how the group started 20 years ago and how they got to this current formation. It's super interesting and fun.

There is a series of videos on KZread about how the group started and how they met each member. One other member joined them in 2016 after those were recorded. Their first recorded song with the new member was Try Everything from Zootopia.

Reason lead tenor (Austin Brown) has such a southern drawl is because he's from Georgia. Bass, Tim Foust, is from Texas. Baritone, Adam Chance, is from Alabama. Bearded guy Rob Lindquist, and beat boxer Adam Rupp are both from Minnesota.
