Home free is a vocal band of 5 men but somehow has 2 basses, 5 tenors, and 5 beatboxers. Rob, the bearded wonder, is my absolutely favorite singer.

Actually, the four singers can all reach both C2 and C5, which means they are both tenors and basses. They all beatbox as well. Rupp's range is undetermined because he sings so seldom.

Austin's the high pitched ginger tenor, Tim Foust is the bass that breaks speakers. Chance (Adam Chance, but Chance here since there's already an Adam, founder Adam Rupp, along with Chris Rupp & Tim Foust). Robs an original member. Chance replaces Chris Rupp as tenor, but does some mad bass as you're hearing here. He has a solid, beautifully melodic, very rich tone. A

This is one of my favorites. Your surprise at hearing the switch ups in the voices was great. Tim can sing in a beautiful higher tenor voice along with Austin & Rob. And Chance can hit the lower bass notes when needed. And Adam did a fabulous job as always with his vocal percussion. This song is sung by a woman Cam, so they sung it in a higher key to match the original. I think these guys are the best a cappella group out there in my opinion. They won the 4th season of the "Sing Off" in 2013 hands down. No one came even close to their talent.

Look for Adam Rupp, live in concert drum solo! Home Free didn't lose, they won the Sing Off the year after Pentatonix, they beat Voiceplay in their year, You need to check them out too. Hoist the Colours, My Mother Told Me, Oogie Boogie's song

all three songs by Voiceplay are phenomenal. Some members from Voiceplay create arrangements for Home Free also

Definitely the Butts Remix (for fun) next. Their harmonies are also off the chart in Seven Bridges Road. BTW both of those are disgusting too.

@davidlambert8879

for harmonies I would also suggest Helplessly Hoping

Wonderful to see you so enjoying Home Free's performances. Next I would recommend "End of the Road" which features the two tenors and in particular Rob (beard and glasses) and "Hillbilly Bone" featuring the bass Tim Foust (rhymes with "oust").

There was an a cappella competition show called "The Sing Off". In Season 4, Home Free won, but there was another group called Voiceplay that season who also have a LOT of great stuff out there. Voiceplay are more theatrical and use more costumes and sets. Voiceplay has also been through more lineup changes since the show where Home Free has only had one change since the show. Noteably, the season before Home Free won, Pentatonix won. You should also check them out. Their "Daft Punk" medley won them a Grammy.

Austin, Tim and Chance all do their own music too. Check them out. Tim’s new “Will you still love me tomorrow/ Stay” is showing his insane range. And Austin just released “Bring him home” and that is mind blowing. Chans also just released a new song, but no video to that one (yet?)

Home Free never lost a competition. They were only on the season 4 of, The Sing Off, and they won. Someone is giving you some bad information. Great reaction.

Actually they auditioned for the show before season 4 and didn’t even make it on the show. That was also before Austin and Tim joined the group.

Absolutely PERFECT reaction! See why we say "WAIT!!!"?? lol These guys are mind blowing 🤯. We never know what they'll do next, keeping us all on our toes. And NEVER disappointed! 😊 I suggest "Snowglobe", or "Hillbilly Bone", or "sold". Or just anything they do, seriously they're all masterful. 😉🥰

Chris Rupp, Adam's brother, left to work on his solo project. Adam Chance (goes by Chance) joined then. He is a baritone and usuall does bass when Tim decides to change the world order. jejeje. You'll soon notice that they all take the lead, they choose the most fitting voice for each song. There's a live of the song 9 to 5 where they all do beatboxing. Regards from Argentina.

For five part harmony no beatboxing, Brothers in Arms, Helplessly Hoping or Auld Lang Syne. To see them all do beatboxing they have two versions, 9 to 5 live or this song Mayday live.

It's time for BUTTS!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 They deserve The Butts Remix next! Great mix of genre and skills on display, plus funny af! 😁

Loved your reaction! As you were praising the 3 guys out front on their singing...I'm thinking...wait til Chance kicks in....you didn't disappoint! Let this HF journey continue!

Home Free won the Sing Off year after Pentatonix I love Home Free saw them in concert this past year they were fantastic. Just subscribed for more Home Free

I kinda forgot how pretty that one is. I wouldn't call Chance's low note a fry, though. It sounded to me like a clear chest note, just not as strong as Tim's. A good place to compare them is on the video of Folsom Prison Blues, where they share the lead.

@heatherdelgado9303

It is a solid chest note, but the reason it sounded like that was the now was doubled in production.

Guys, the Butts Medley sounds great for a next one on the Home Free Journey....be ready to laugh. Butts has Chris and no Chance

The guys: Rob "the beard" Lundquist - tenor Austin Brown - high tenor Adam Rupp - human drum kit Adam Chance - baritone/bass (4+ octave range) Tim Foust - basso profundo (5+ octave range) There are other A Capella groups that are good, but Home Free sets the bar! They actually were winners of "The Sing-Off", lots of videos online of their performances -blew the judges away. Tim has a new solo A Capella doo-wop album out and a couple singles from it online.

I will not fully disagree with this, I do think Pentatonix is right there with HomeFree. 2 different styles of music coming from these 2 groups though. Both groups highly respect each other and both won the same competition just different years. Really wish Avi would do another song with them.

The big three in acapella right now are Home Free, Pentatonix and Voice Play. Also excellent but a little different style is Voctave.

@brendafrazier811

I read someone’s description of the three once as: Pentatonix as the student body officer kids, Voiceplay the drama kids and Home Free the kids hanging out in the parking lot after the game. (Something like that!) Thought that described the difference in their styles very well. Home Free is much more my style than the others. I appreciate their talents but just don’t enjoy them as much.

They won the sing-off.

For their true a cappella, and even the beat boxer Adam singing, check out How Great Thou Art.

great reaction! If you want to hear Tim's range, check out his single, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay, where he sings all the parts. You will be amazed!!

No one is comparable to HOME FREE. Please check out HOME FREE “When a man loves a woman” Thanks

Thank you for saying it!

Hi! They got the first place on “The Sing-Off,” an a cappella vocal competition.

Please please please react to their cover of Boys II Men's "End of the Road"!!! They're the only group that's ever done it justice in my opinion. You absolutely will not regret it. Awesome reaction! One of the best I've ever seen. Cant wait til the next one.(By the way, they didnt lose the competition. They won "The Sing Off" when they were on it.) 💗💗💗💗💗

This was a great reaction! And also one of my favourite songs from them. If you want to see more of Tim’s range I would recommend “will you still love me/stay” from Tim’s new Doo-wop album he’s released. It’s incredible! Austin Brown also has solo music he does and just released a new song. But unchained melody is defending one to see by him. Austin and Tim did “my Maria” that also shows Tim’s range. Anything by them are good options though! They all cannot hit bass but they can all hit tenor a super talented group! Tim tends to use the methods of growls (which might have been what Adam chance used for the B1 I could be wrong) which does incorporate vocal fry.

For something fun try checking out their live version of 9-5. Look for 9-5 Beat box break down. It's really crazy cool.

Oh yeah! Watching this was a great way to start my morning! You guys are fantastic. Mayday is one of my favorites too; they kill it and bring it back to life and kill it all over again. The range and the talent -- whooo. The show you're thinking of is The Sing-Off and they won the fourth season. The other two acapella groups to check out if you're interested are Pentatonix (especially recommend The Sound of Silence, Hallelujah and Daft Punk medley, which they won their first [yes, first -- of three] Grammy for) and VoicePlay (Hoist the Colours, Carry On Wayward Son, My Mother Told Me). VP is affectionately called the "theater kids" of acapella and they're big into makeup, costumes, stage musicals, so all three groups have a really different vibe.

Home Free, Pentatonix, Voice Play, Voctave...all amazing a capella groups. No need to compare them, just enjoy!

You have to react to Tim Foust singing "Will you still Love me Tomorrow/Stay" solo. It will blow your mind! 🤯 No he didn't leave the band, it's just a side gig

Fantastic reaction guys! Home Free rocks our world.

Home Free was started in 2000 in Minnesota as a high school vocal band by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp (the beatboxer). Rob Lundquist the bearded tenor joined in 2008. Tim Foust the bass 95 octive range) joined next followed by Austin Brown the high tenor. In 2013 they were on NBC’s 4th season of Sing-Off, a acappella competition show. Pentatonix won the season 3 show. Home Free won the season 4 show and won of the groups they beat out is Voiceplay. Pentatonix, Home Free and Voiceplay are considered the big 3 today in acappella. They all are good and each has a different unique style. I much prefer the Home Free style. In 2016 Adam Rupp left Home Free to do some solo work and started another group. He was replaced by Adam Chance who goes by Chance so to not be confused with Adam Rupp. Chance normally sings baritone and has a 4 octave range was the one singing bass on this song. As you go down this rabbit hole another name Peter Hollens will come up. He has done many collaboration with Tim Foust and a few with Home Free. He is extremely talented and deserves a listen. Hopefully this helps so and enjoy your acapella journey.

Ya'll are hilarious with your reactions! Chance (baritone) does amazing with Cover Me Up. Their cover of Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms will blow your hair back with the harmonies. What area of the world are y'all from because on the Home Fries FB page, someone had tickets up for sale. Also, if you like oldies doo wop Tim Foust released 2 songs where he does all parts of the song, freaking amazing! Also too, Austin has some solo things out as well.

Pentatonix and Voiceplay are the 2 other prominent a capella groups...but you need to hear Home Free do "End of the Road ".

I loved that song! I loved that Adam Chance got to show his diversity too as he has such an amazing voice. They all do! 😁

Brothers in Arms is a must. Great reaction

"When A Man Loves A Woman" and "End Of The Road"

I love your reactions! Just wanted to come and comment on Chance's bass note. That's a full chest voice note, not vocal fry. Vocal coach here ❤ I love watching you go deeper into this rabbit hole! Keep them reactions coming, we Home Fries will be here for those!

LOVE the versatility of our amazingly talented fellas!! 🥰. Every member of Home Free could absolutely be a solo ⭐ star ⭐ but their harmonies together are MAGIC!!

This is one of my favorites. We like for new reactors to wait on this song if they don’t know all the singers voices. You boys seem to know their voices so you understood the switcheroo of Tim going high and Chance going low. They are all so good. They won season 4 of the Sing Off. Voiceplay lost to them. Pentatonix won season 3 and they’re fantastic too. Try Helplessly Hoping, Brothers in Arms, One Man Band, Country Roads, End of the Road to hear more incredible harmonies. Adam Rupp Drum Solo on KZread (2015) is amazing. It’s a good video. There are newer ones but they show him at his looping station which is cool. He does that to save his voice but I don’t think it’s as good. Great reaction boys! Enjoy! Oh to hear more Chance try I Can’t Outrun You.

Saw them live in Tennessee and was part of the crowd when they filmed dreamer. They are insane!!! So gifted!!!!

To see Tim's upper range check out Austin Brown and Tim Foust singing "My Maria" in the backyard with friends.

Please listen to When a man loves a woman . Austin kills it.😂

Just as impressive live! Yes, sometimes they use a looper, but the sounds are all them. I am addicted to these guys!

If you really want to hear something that will blow your minds, check out the harmony yodeling on "Thank God I'm a Country Boy". The talent and creativity of Home Free is off the charts! Oh and Helplessly Hoping is my absolute favorite video they do. You guys are a hoot!

They do need mics for concerts, and a sound engineer to keep it all balanced. Best sounding concert i have ever been to. Very clear vocals and speaking.

They won the sing off. Welcome to the rabbit hole! The beatboxer is a two time world champion! He is a freak of nature!

I've been going through your playlist and I love to watch you go crazy over these guys. They really are incredible!

Austin popped up on my feed st the beginning of covid. I knew nothing of Home Free. Then "My Maria" popped up - first time I ever heard Tim Foust - seemed to be clearest falsetto I'd ever heard. At the end, Austin begins talking and suddenly - there's this VOICE - I had to look closely at my phone to verify this beautiful rich voice was emanating from Tim's mouth! Yeah, then I was hooked.

Such a great song by home free!! Home fry forever!! Thanks guys! Ur uncle is a smart man!!

The trifecta of a capella, Home Free, country leaning, Pentatonix more pop and then the theater kids, Voice Play.

“5 OCTAVE INSANITY “ Tim, does a solo mash-up of Will You Still Love Me/Stay. He does ALL the vocal and sound effects by multi- track overlays. Now THAT one is sick!

Agree with the recommendations for End of the Road and When a Man Loves a Woman, insane tenors!

Home Free was on a competition show called The Sing-off on season 4 and WON.

Adam is the beatboxer and only original member and founder left of Home Free. Great reaction!

I have been to see Home Free in concert and they were fantastic. Adam Rupp's drum solo was great and you literally feel Tim Foust's bass vibrate from the floor into your feet to having the seat vibrate around you. You won't be disappointed going to their concert.

Hold on here seats boys you're in a shocker on this one.. Love my Home Free.. Adam Chance blew me away in this one as well as Adam Rupp the beatboxing is insane if you listen to it really close you can hear him go crazy.

You should also do "Love Train." They've also got a couple of new song out, Dreamer with Texas Hill and Amazed which are both awesome.

THEY ARE ANGELICAL BEINGS HERE ON EARTH TO TEACH US TO BE HUMBLE

There are actually several very popular acapella groups circulating right now. Home Free does more Countryish based music and then Pentatonix is probably the other best known group. They are more Pop/Rock music. There is also Voice Play and Voctave. I am sure there are more but these are the one that come to my mind.

Home Free are definitely amazing in every way

Seeing these guys live in concert is. Total Blast 💥🥰‼️🙃👍 And, having Adam Rupp do a solo right front it of me was a real trip….he was like 12’ in front of me……surely dispels any doubt in anyones mind…. & they are out there🤪🥰‼️. LOLOL🥰‼️🥰 “THE BUTTS REMIX MEDELY“…… is a fun one For Sure 🤪😋🙃❤️‼️. They had way too much fun making this one 🥰‼️👍

Love love you guys!! Intelligent and hilarious!! My favorite!

Glad yall fell for these guys like all us home fries my opinion noone better best harmonies and beatboxer keep it up

Ok! I subscribed after I saw your first Home Free reaction, but decided to wait to comment until after I saw this reaction! I absolutely love your reactions! You both apparently know some stuff about music, which I appreciate more. These guys did not lose their season of the Sing Off! They won during Season 4, Pentatonix won season 3. Pentatonix (PTX for short) is more Pop music and I kind of concur with others where they are really great, and I do like them. They’re extremely talented! Home Free has more of the hometown feel to them, which is why we Home Fries love them, not to mention, they’re immensely talented. Adam Chance (the other bass), goes by Chance in the group to avoid confusion since there are two Adams. He and Tim trade off often singing bass. Chance actually was in an ac Capella group named Streetcorner Symphony which came in 2nd place during season 2 of the Sing Off. He replace Chris Rupp when he left the group to pursue a solo career in 2016. If you think you’ve seen some stellar performances, you haven’t seen anything yet! So far what you’ve seen are fantastic, but they’ve gotten even better since these videos. You should also find one of Adam Rupp’s live beatboxing performances during their live shows (preferably post 2019 since he’s broadened his talent since the earlier ones from 2015. Anyway, sorry for the long post! I have a couple of recommendations/suggestions for Home Free videos: “Helplessly Hoping”, “Castle On the Hill”, and “Cover Me Up” (features Chance as lead. Watch even after it appears the video is over for a surprise).

The three groups, for me, are all equally amazing; each has its own specialty. Pentatonix/PTX does pop (they've only recently started using more production tweaks, but one thing they pride themselves on is that they release nothing that they can't do live as well), Home Free does 'fun', CW and any other genre (they seem to use less production, but have started using a machine (?) to record parts on stage just before a song, then use those in the song), and Voice Play uses theatrics (and nearly no production, and all production is done by members of VP). They're all *amazing* - and don't forget to follow individual singers from the groups, as many of them also do side projects (Sup3rfruit/Superfruit, Geoff Castellucci, Tim Foust, Austin Brown, Messer, Kirsten; and Avi Kaplan, original bass from PTX. The side projects are not always a cappella, but are amazing nonetheless.)

Haha. great reaction.. and you have to watch All About That Bass.. the bass, Tim does both the low and the super high treble! Love you guys.. this is one of my favorites as well.. The Sing Off is the competition show and Home Free NEVER lost they won first place! That show introduced us to so many wonderful groups and talents tho.. Peter Hollens (he often collabs with HF) was one of the members of On The Rocks from Oregon.. Voice Play was there.. so so many Check out the Butts Medley.. and How Great Thou Art.. and anything else! Thanks for all you do!

Love your uncle's taste!! Only 150 HF videos to watch!! Every one is AWESOME!

The original song was sung by a young woman named Cam and Home Free sang it in the same key as she did hence the higher octave. 😄💜

Home Free gold! Love your reactions!

They won the competition

They never miss. Unreal. Their roles change and the talent level is off the chart

You will love Adam's drum solo. Home Free: Drum Solo of Adam Rupp in South Portland ME, during the Spring Tour of 2015 on April 16 2015

NO NO NO!! They were on the show The Sing Off in 2014 and THEY WON THE WHOLE THING! I think it was an NBC show. They have all of the songs that they did on the show available here on KZread, you definitely check them out!

Front row from left to right is Rob Lundquist lead tenor (beard and glasses), Tim Foust bass with 5 octave range and Austin Brown sky high tenor. Back row left to right Adam Rupp the beatboxer (the only original member) and the newest member Adam Chance who sings baritone or bass. Chris Rupp left the group in 2016 and that's when Chance came in. They were on the show The Sing Off in season 4 and won. Chance was also on the show, but was on season 2 and his group Street Corner Symphony got second. Enjoyed watching your reactions to these guys.

You guys are so great! And yes, their live shows are incredible (been to 6!) and only the last year before COVID did they introduce using a looper for a couple songs so Adam can have even more layering, as well as the tenors, to make songs more full. But even when they don't do that, they are still able to use their voices to overlay thru songs. Incredible talent truly. And they are so super fun and funny that you are just so happy at their concerts! Check out some live performances on KZread. I've probably watched every one out there over and over the past 8 years. Well, thanks as always! Take care.

Front row, left to right: Rob Lundquist, lead tenor, Tim Foust, subharmonic bass to however damn high he wants to go, Austin Brown, high tenor. Back row: Left is Adam Rupp, award-winning beatboxer and right is Adam Chance, baritone/bass, known as Chance to avoid confusion. For a live performance, check out "Your Man". Tim shows off his range and it's pretty funny too. Their stage shows all seem to be a lot of fun. Chris Rupp, Adam's brother and the real founder of the group back in like middle school days, left the group in 2016.

Chance was the bass in his previous group Street Corner Symphony. That group was guests (party guests, not performers) in the Home Free video House Party before Chris left; you see Chance in the white bathrobe with the drink in the pocket. A great number from their lives shows to watch is Guilty Pleasures. There are 2 slightly different versions -- one with the heading "Derailed." Also check out their rendition of Born in the USA, the only song I know of where someone actually plays an instrument.

Can't believe these amazing men aren't mainstream!

They are even more awesome live

G'day lads. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. A veritable smorgasbord of talent, sound, and feel-good music. I think as an observer / listener, I really enjoyed listening to Man of Constant Sorrow, Mayday, Do You Hear What I Hear, Ring of Fire (with Avi Caplan - formerly of Pentatonix), Hillbilly Bone Folsom Prison Blues, and Cover Me Up. Also, if you wanna hear more amazing Tim Foust brilliance, listen to Misty Mountains (Peter Hollens, ft. Tim Foust) - I'm positive you'll love all of these songs. Great reactions dudes! Cheers from Sydney, Australia!

Saw them live a fews years ago...they are incredible

They were on the fourth season of The Sing-Off. They took first place. At that time the members included Chris and Adam Rupp (co-founders of the group Chris is a baritone and Adam is the beatboxer and sings tenor), Tim Foust (the bass, but has a five octave range), Austin Brown (1st tenor) and Rob Lundquist (tenor). The only change that's been made is when Chris left in 2014 in Adam Chance, (which goes by Chance) took his place. Before that point in time they did have a lot of members that came in and out but since then they have not. The group that one season 3 of The Sing-Off is called Pentatonix. They are amazing. They have also had one turnover. Might I suggest listening to daft punk it is what got them their first Grammy. They made the video in two of the members apartment. They used the closet for audio and at the kitchen table for the video. And then check out their video for Sound of Silence. That way you get to see the bass that started with the group Avi (left in 2017 on good terms just some personal things going on in his life) and then the bass that they have now Matt. Another group that came from the same show but did not win but did place pretty high was Voice Play and they have some pretty amazing videos. Another group is called Voctive all four of these groups are great in their own right, and sometimes they interact and do videos with each other.

To hear Tim Foust's upper range listen to him and Austin do My Maria in Austin's back yard on the porch. To hear them all together listen to Helplessly Hoping.

Their live show is exceptional and they are as good live as in studio. They are truly amazing.

I am so happy that you waited to watch this after you have gotten to know this group. It makes you really appreciate their ranges. Chances actually a baritone but covers the basement singing high! You need to look up Misty Mountains.. this is a collaboration between Tim and Peter from voiceplay. You will love it!

I think you would enjoy watching Adam's drum solo. We call Adam a freak of nature for a reason.

I saw them in Knoxville, TN 2 years ago in the old Knox theater and it has crappy acoustics. Home Free killed it. It sounded as good as KZread videos.

"This is like the nuttiest thing" LMAOOOO instant sub

You're now ready for a whole different side of Home Free.....Butts Remix! Let the Fries be your guide. 😂

I have several of their concerts. Their live shows are awesome

There was an acappella group competition on NBC from 2009 - 2013 called The Sing-Off. Home Free won in '13. The other group I think people are referring to won in 2011, and that is Pentatonix. They are still huge because they are phenomenally good! Listen to their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody, and you will become a Pentaholic as well as a Home Fry. Also guaranteed is you will gain a whole bunch of new subscribers! You can watch Home Free and Pentatonix Sing-Off performances on KZread.

Live shows are amazing. It's a whole show not just a concert. They set up an amazing speaker system that Tim uses to shake your innards. Adam Rupp does a solo that is getting better and better. And they are so fun.

Home Free actually WON the sing off the year after Pentatonix won.

To hear Tim using his higher vocals stellar performance.

If you like to explore more of Tim’s amazing range, he has just released a whole do up album, where he does everything him self - he sings high notes, bass, does beatboxing and even animal sounds. It’s amazing❣️

Thing to remember about Adam Chance , he was the bass in his previous group :)

Awesome group love them guys

And you haven't even heard "Snow Globe" or "Die a happy man". We can get into "helplessly hoping" later.

Did you notice that nobody was clapping, that was Adam Rupp, and did you notice they stopped stomping but the stomping was still there, that was Adam Chance's bass.
