Sorry that Austin is leaving the group but it’s understandable for him and Amberly. Looking forward to seeing who takes his place. Love HomeFree and will always support them!❤

Global pandemics tend to change a person. I can see why Austin is leaving. My mom will miss him. So will I. His voice is so iconic and recognizable.

Home Free is so talented and so hilarious! Edit: Also, I remember in the Home Away From Home series that Austin said this (Covid-era) was the most time he's spend at home since the Sing-Off. Home Free also mentioned they want to take less time touring so they can be with family, and they deserve as many breaks as anybody else. They work their tails off making superb music, and I will support them with whatever decision they make.

Listen to their cover of Mayday if you want to hear how they switch up parts. Tim absolutely blew my mind on that one.

Won't matter who they replace Austin with this group will never be the same or sound as good as they have for years. I admire Austin for putting his family first now and being true to himself though.

Damn Tim, I freaking love your voice even speaking, oh Austin I’m gonna miss you

Home Free is the best!

Chris Rupp turned me into a Home 🍟 I listened to the butts remix yesterday. It always throws me into a giggle fit! Full of cheer is my favorite song for the same reason! 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, it was fun when it was all "family". Jenika as tour manager, Olena, stylist. Sami - BTS/photo. And all of them making video appearances.

One of the songs I really would love to hear these guys do is Coward of the County by Kenny Rogers.

LOVE Home Free! ❤

What beautiful personalities these men have. In addition to the great voices, that is also a reason that I have become a real fan of theirs. They complement each other so much. One is more present and verbal than the other, but they accept that from each other. How beautiful is that? Another one of their great talents: switching from tenor to bass, etc. Every song you are curious about who does what, but it sounds great every time. As for why Austin is leaving the group, I can understand it. There are several people/artists who feel that way after Covid. For example, we had a very popular duo here in the Netherlands (Nick and Simon) who decided to split up after 17 years because Simon also had that feeling. But Nick, the other half, is doing great now, so I'm not afraid that Home Free will continue to be successful just as they are now. And there will certainly still be an occasional collaboration between Austin and Home Free. Love Home Free!❤❤❤❤❤

Their sound is great

This interview was a really good one. They were asked some good questione and all seemed pretty engaged.

This was a great interview enjoyed every second of it way to go guys 👍

These guys are so adorable ❤

I've been a Home Free fan since the Sing Off. I've seen them live and have most of their music... just love them as musicians and people!

Love love love these guys. I love how much they love their families, each other and their fans. Incredible voices and personalities.

Great interview. I listen to home free more than anyone else!!

Gosh Tim sounds low when he speaks. They’re such a fun group of guys. Love them saying Chris can’t sit still and they love sitting still! Hahaha. I’m with them! Nice interview.

I couldn’t help but notice how many things in his interview tied in with VoicePlay and Geoff Castelucci. Geoff arranged their Elvira cover, Layne helped arrange their Butts Medley. Voiceplay has a short doing Chili Baby Back Ribs, Geoff already has a short covering Beyoncé’s new song… lol

Absolutely love these guys!!! LIVE is just unbelievable; yes -- had to see it for myself (to verify)!

Great interview! I understand why Austin’s leaving, but they’ve done two albums in a row that were just repeats without originals! Not exactly a fan of them doing those in a row, & I think it’s a really bad idea to end his tour doing just a repeat of stuff they’ve done for years, instead of ending on a new album that shows their ORIGINAL music!!! Our #HomeFreeGuys are simply incredible & fantastic!!! They need to end showing their amazing, beautiful new stuff!!! Their new stuff would leave the fans and other artists wanting MORE!!!They will forever be true stars in our eyes!!! #HomeFryForLife!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️

At least we have So Long Dixie as a testament to Tim and Austin's originality. But I agree - although some of the new treatments have been amazingly re-imagined, mostly it has still felt like walking familiar paths. Actually a lot of Fries seem to want only the familiar, so perhaps the band want to give them what they want.

I avoided the whole Butts Medley for a long time, but once I heard it, I absolutely loved it.

The Butts Remix was hilarious. My autistic son loves that song and listens to it quite a lot.

I've never in my life liked Acapella at all. I can across Home Free and they blew my mind. These guys are awesome. Austin man, your voice is amazing, Tim blew me away with his lows and then I heard his highs, Holy freaking shit, this dude has serious range. Adam, what can anyone say, this dude is amazing, he blows my mind everytime I see a video. Rob has a great voice as well, Adam I wish he would do more leads, great voice. Put these guys all together and you have one KickAss amazing band. I drove bands on tour, it's brutal out there. People think it's easy. I'm sure Home Free will agree Hot Dogs and Raman Noodles was food o fchoice.

2:44 That was originally Voiceplay's arrangement of Elvira.

Looking forward to Austin’s solo stuff coming up! Austin did the right thing for him & Amberly ❤ HF should get Brooke Eden to take over for Austin, cause he CanNOT BE REPLACED. There is Only 1 Austin Brown ! He will definitely have my support

I Loved Elvira!!!! So Awesome!

I appreciate how laid back and casual they are when talking about Austin leaving and how switching bandmates is a thing that has happened a few times in 24 years. I wonder what sort of tech stuff Adam Rupp does while these guys are out doing the interview circuit?

Two years ago, my bff got us both tickets to see HF in a nearby town. She's not a fan of either country music or acapella but I'd told her I'd love for her to attend a concert with me at least once, both for the company and because I wanted her opinion (plus it seemed only fair since I've gone to several Il Volo concerts with her--I like Il Volo well enough but am not a huge fan of light opera). After the concert, I asked for her thoughts...she said she enjoyed herself and thought the guys were very talented (especially Adam, who I knew she'd love since she played drums in high school). But she didn't care for the singalongs (I love them), and she thought Tim talked waaaaay too much. She said she paid to hear the guys sing, not to a) do the singing herself and b) listen to Tim ramble on. I *will* continue to be a fan and go to concerts but I'm pretty sure she won't attend another HF concert.

I don't think ppl really get how many dates they do and at that level of singing that it's very hard on the voice. There's a reason a lot of famous touring singers get their adenoids removed and it changes their voice. They need vocal breaks or they will break. I personally enjoy the banter, love the beatboxing....but the solo is a bit long for me.

Texas holdum sucks. Stay in your lane
