Yes, welcome to Home Free, all acapella, no instruments at all. Masters of all musical genres. Organized in a college dorm in Minnesota in 2000; they won the 4th season of the Sing Off in 2013. Two are from Minnesota, one from Georgia, one from Texas and one from Alabama (Current members). Their covers are upgrades, their medleys are brilliant, their collaborations with the original artists are inspirational, and their original songs are masterpieces. Within this 5 man vocal band you have 5 tenors, 5 beat boxers, and 2 bass-baritones. All of them can sing lead and they choose depending on whose voice best fits the song. They can do just about anything and they continue to grow and improve, yet they remain so humble. When they have featured guest artist, they support and allow their featured artists to shine. Several of them have their own channels and do some solo work. And just for fun Rob and Austin sing Opera. What else can I say? Their catalogue of work is quite large and continues to grow. You are in for an exciting journey and the Home Fries will be there for you all the way.

lol I laughed when you said you wanted to hang out with the guys. At some point in a reactor's journey through Home Free music, everyone says that but you are the first reactor I've heard who said it on their first reaction. Yes, they are genuinely nice, fun humble guys. The Beatboxer's name is Adam Rupp he's from Minnesota he started this group in 2000 while in college with his brother Chris Rupp baritone/tenor. Chris is in this early video but he left in 2016 to pursue other musical interests. He was replaced by Adam Chance (baritone/bass). He's originally from Alabama. The high Tenor's name is Austin Brown. He was the one where you commented on his vibrato. He's from Georgia. The tenor's name is Rob Lundquist (the one with the glasses) He is also from Minnesota. You should try Man of Constant Sorrow, Helplessly Hoping, & Do You Hear What I Hear.

Can't wait!

Home Free are independent artists. They bought out their contract they won on the sing off. They create their own music and speak to issues that are dear to them because they are not shackled to a label dictating to them what they will record! Bravo Home Free, the peoples champion!

Chris Rupp - founding member. Bald/hat guy. Baritone. Left. Has his own channel now. Adam Rupp - founding member and younger brother of Chris. Singing voice - tenor. Beatboxer percussion range - high tenor to low bass. Love when he sings and harmonizes. Uses a looper during shows, because they love to layer most of their songs these days. Rob Lundquist - first new member of current line up. Big guy with beard and glasses. Tenor and beautiful whistler and you'll find out his true range soon enough. We love him to bits. Has his own channel. Tim Foust - next to join the current lineup. Bass and baritone and tenor and high tenor. Songwriter. Stunning voice. Love listening to him talk. Has his own channel and albums. Austin Brown - last member to join before I discovered them. One who did the tenor solo in Ring Of Fire. High tenor, songwriter. Has his own channel where he does his own music (recorded with instruments). Could ( and do ) listen to him all day. His (now) wife features prominantly on his channel. Adam CHANCE - latest addition. Often wears big glasses and a cap. Read somewhere the glasses help with his migraines. Baritone to bass, songwriter. Most HF songs featuring instruments are of Chance playing his guitar. Smooth transition for the fans when he joined. Just as talented, creative, dedicated and loved as all the other members. With him able to cover bass, Tim has started performing more tenor leads. Has his own channel where he does his own music. Brilliant each in their own right and magical as Home Free. Their public vibe is of cool, slightly nerdy, humble, down to earth, friendly, goofy guys next door; who get along great, have mad respect for each others' abilities and creativity and adore their fans for giving them the careers and lives they have. Home Free is one of the few groups/vocal bands that not only allows it's members to pursue private projects, but then also bring their creations into the group. Home Free fridays kept us sane during covid as HF became prolific when most other acts hunkered down. HF would release a song every second friday at least and till now their releases help to cheer us up. Hope this long-winded post helps with getting to know the group better.

It’s actually Do you hear what I hear! But yes that’s a fantastic Christmas song and video!!!!!

Tim has a 5 octave range which is unheard of (A0 to G5). Home Free won the sing off the year after Pentatonix. Voice Play was also on the sing off that same year. Tim worked with Geoff on his bass techniques which helped Geoff establish a deeper range (subharmonics). They are good friends along with Avi!

Home Free is labeled a country acapella group, but they can and do all genres of music. The group began in Minnesota with two brothers, Adam Rupp and his older brother Chris Rupp, and Adam's best friend Matt Atwood in 2001. Adam and Matt were teens. They endured many struggles, some of them hilarious, to establish the acapella group. Through the years, Home Free went through various members, especially basses, as they established themselves as a regional acapella group. Chris Rupp, the guy in the cowboy hat, wanted to create the best acapella group in the world. He sings tenor and baritone. Chris was an important part of Home Free's success in that he was outstanding in networking and negotiating. He and his brother were steadfast in creating Home Free even when they had no experience and little money. Matt and Chris are no longer members of the group. Matt quit first to join his family's business when his father became ill and to start a family. Chris quit later in 2016 years after the group had won the season four of The Sing-Off. Chris quit to pursue his own individual projects. He has his own YouTiube channel with a video history of Home Free. He also sings in another acapella group with his and Adam's sister Tristian. Home Free still has friendly connections with the former members of the group. Adam volunteered to become the beatboxer of the group since they didn't have one. He is a tenor. He started learning how to beatbox with a VHS tape teaching how to do it. He has definitely mastered the skill and has continued to add to his repertoire of sounds. Many drummers think his drum sounds are extremely realistic. He has actually learned to play the drums to improve his beatboxing. The next permanent member was Rob Lundquist, the lead tenor, who is the guy with a beard and glasses. Rob is from Minneapolis. He majored in music at the University of Minnesota. He has classical opera training. His professors actually encouraged him to consider being an opera singer as a career. He chose a different career path. He joined Home Free when the group was still part-time. He worked as a bartender when not singing with Home Free. Tim Foust, the bass, was the next permanent member. Tim joined the group temporarily for their first Christmas tour to promote his solo country album. Tim's patron in southern California had decided that Tim should pursue a career as a country singer. Tim was offered a permanent position in the group by Chris . He was willing to be a member of the group if it became full-time and it wasn't a requirement to live in Minnesota. Later Tim joined the group when he moved back to his home state of Texas from California. Tim has a five-octave range. Austin Brown, the high tenor, joined the group after Matt retired from the group. Austin is from south Georgia. He had a full college scholarship in musical theater. He met Home Free when they were guest performers on the cruise ship where he was a member of the ship's cast. He had previously been a member of The Sons of Liberty, an acapella group, at Disney. When Chris Rupp resigned from the group, he was replaced by Adam Chance who sings baritone and bass. Chance is not in this video. He is called Chance to prevent confusion with Adam Rupp. He is from Alabama. Chance became a part of the acapella world when he was recruited at the last minute to replace the bass of Street Corner Symphony, an acapella group. Street Corner Symphony had just won a spot on The Sing-Off for the second season but had lost their bass. They tried to recruit Tim Foust who refused because he had decided to quit music as a career at the time. Chance had attended college with one of the members of the group who contacted him. The group was the first runner-up in the contest. Chance was a member of that group for years until he later joined Home Free to replace Chris Rupp. Home Free has no lead singer. They are all capable of singing solos. Tim and Austin have solo videos on their channels. Home Free has collaborations with other outstanding artists such as Kenny Rogers, Don McLean on his fiftieth anniversary. version of American Pie, the Oak Ridge Boys, and Lee Greenwood to name a few.

Great Summary!

What makes them special to me is that they are all about their fans, all about their interactions at "parties" , as they call their concerts!! Nana Karen UK

I would recommend Brother's In Arms, My Country Tis of Thee and In The Blood. Another Christmas song that Tim arranged when he was 18 or 19 is O Holy Night. They also have a lot of original songs too. One more is How Great Thou Art that they filmed in the Austrian Alps just before Covid.

The group started in 2001 by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp They are the only country A Capella ( all vocals no instruments)group but they are honestly do much more than just country music they can sing any genre and they do They won The Sing Off season 4 2013 that's where they became very popular. Fans of Home Free are known as Home Fries and are very loyal to the guys. Adam Rupp: Beatboxer Extraordinaire -Tenor can make any sound imaginable (A whole drum kit, harmonica (his Nomonica we call it )plane flyovers, trains, castanets, bugs ,birds etc).Co founder from Mankato Minnesota. Rob Lundquist :Lead tenor(beard and glasses) very soulful voice and master whistler from Minneapolis,Minnesota Tim Foust :Bass (had long dark hair now short with grey ) 5+ octave range can go so low he blows speakers or sky high from Nederland,Texas Austin.Brown:High Tenor ( Long wavy hair ) voice of an angel from Tifton Georgia. Adam Chance(Aka Chance):Baritone/Bass deep,rich voice(Does the juice harp sound in Man Of Constant Sorrow) has short dark hair short beard from Baldwin County,Alabama.Replaced Chris Rupp ( Adams Brother and co founder in 2016) They have collaborated with many singers and legends Don McLean:American Pie Oak Ridge Boys:Elvira Kenny Rodgers:Children Go Where I Send Thee (Please watch the end message) Billy Gilman:One Voice Alabama:Christmas In Dixie Mark Wills:Don’t Laugh At Me ( important message at the end ) Lee Greenwood & US Airforce Band:God Bless The USA Any many more. They have 3 amazing songwriters in the group Tim,Austin and Chance So they have a very large playlist of covers and original songs End of the Road (Boyz 2 Men cover ) When A Loves A Woman Helplessly Hoping (5 part harmony masterpiece ) Unchained Melody Listen To The Music Can’t Outrun You Brothers In Arms Stargazer Trilogy( All Originals written by Austin) Give Me A Sign ( Chapter 1) Stargazer Lilies( Chapter 2) MR (Chapter 3) Skull And Bones ( original written by Chance for Ubisoft new video game Skull And Bones) Might As Well Be Me ( Original) Playing With Fire ( Original) Remember My Name (Original) Oh Pretty Woman Life Is A Highway Stand By Me Cruise I Want Crazy ( newest release) Mayday(DON’T WATCH TILL YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE GROUP AND THEIR RANGES ) There's not a song that you pick from their 200+ catalog that is bad I haven't found one yet. They are just funny, down to earth, humble nice guys.They are the best A Cappella group there is Sorry for the long read 🍟😊

Home Free was founded by the Rupp brothers, Adam (beatboxer) and Chris (cowboy hat in this) during college in 2000. There have been many members but the main members were set by 2013 when they were on the NBC show the Sing Off (which they won) in 2013. The only other change was when Chris Rupp left in 2016 to go solo and was replaced by Chance. Tim (bass) is from Texas. Austin (high tenor) is from Georgia. Chance (baritone) is from Alabama. Rob (tenor + glasses) is from Minnesota and Chris and Adam Rupp are also from Minnesota. Chris and Adam have arranged music and also their producer Darren Rust. Tim, Austin and Chance write a lot of their original music which is great. They sing all genres. Try Helplessly Hoping, In the Blood, One Man Band, Bless the Broken Road, Brothers in Arms. They are amazing and quite down to earth. Tim taught both Geoff and Avi to go lower. He has amazing range. They sung this on the Sing Off and Tim went lower. 😍 😄

Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. These guys are so extremely talented. Every sound you hear comes from their mouths, no instruments. They do different genres. They do a cover of End of The Road by BoyZ II Men. They do a very awesome version of How Gret Thou Art and check out Man of Constant Sorrow. It is amazing! They also have a lot of Originals. Tim Foust is the Bass, Austin Brown is the high tenor, Rob Lundquist is a tenor, Chris Rupp is a baritone and Adam Rupp is the beatboxer. Chris Rupp is no longer with group. He was replaced by Adam Chance. Please keep reacting to them, they won Season 4 of The Sing-Off. They are very good people, honest and caring and fun loving. Love your reaction!

Well! I just discovered your channel today and I see you have now experienced what I call the Great Acapella Trifecta--Home Free, Pentatonix, and Voice Play! Welcome! And please do keep using those headphones--the eargasms are much better! I like not only the quality of the performers you react to--but also the quality of your musical analysis. I am not a pro and I am enjoying what I am learning from you. You are enhancing my ability to appreciate this music. So thank you for sharing your knowledge/skills. In order not to "write a book" in the youtube comments, I have decided to focus on Home Free today and list my favorites from them. Enjoy! Tim Foust (Hillbilly Bone and Will You Still Love Me/Stay--solo by Tim at his youtube channel) Austin Brown (When A Man Loves A Woman) Rob Lundquist (End of the Road) Adam Chance (Born In The USA) Home Free (Sea Shanty Medley, The Butts Remix, American Pie with Don Mclean, My Church, Unchained Melody.) Original songs: Champagne Taste On A Beer Budget and Cold Hard Cash For Christmas. And finally, something classical--to top it all off (at Austin Brown's youtube channel): Two Country Singers Try Singing Opera. This is only the beginning of the Wonderful World of Home Free music.

"End of the Road", "Man of Constant Sorrow", & "When a Man Loves a Woman" are some good ones to react to. Doing EOTR next would show you something different from them. And yes, the hard "r" is a country music/accent thing. Three of them have southern accents but they don't always use their them. It depends on the song. Thanks for reacting to Home Free. Would love to see more.

Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole... 😂

Nice reaction. You have only scratched the surface with these guys. They do a huge variety of music and each have a very impressive vocal range. They can make you dance, cry and fall out of your seat laughing. Since it is the holiday season I would suggest their " Do You Hear What I Hear". Adam ( the beatboxer) arranged it and it is beautiful and unique and their voices are amazing! Thanks for the Home Free reactions! Looking forward to more.

I am subscribing for more Home Free reactions! Welcome to this rabbit hole, you won’t be sorry!❤ Thank you for starting on this journey!👍👍🏡🍟

Home Free is the best a capella group for me. They are incredible! Each member has different but great voices, each with their own specialty. Besides that, they have great personalities, no rivals, no egos, real brotherhood and a lot of humor😅 Ring of Fire in a more modern, somewhat reggea-like version, but still respecting the original. More than almost 5 years ago this was the first video I saw/heard from Home Free. I got there because I was listening to Pentatonix at the time and Avi was my favorite. Immediately there was something that drew me to Home Free. From then on I followed them and after I think 2 videos I was a real Home Fry. I hardly follow PTX anymore. Avi still does, because Avi Kaplan and Home Free let me feel music and not just hear it. Their great harmonies, the unbelievably good beatboxing/vocal percussion and of course that incredible deep bass that makes the ground vibrate and your speakers explode. Personally, I thought Avi fit better with Home Free than with PTX. But that's my opinion 😊 Listen to: "Man Of Constant Sorrow " "Brother In Arms " "End Of The Road "

Home Free are splendid! 'Man of Constant Sorrow' is unforgettable. Although this is an HF reaction, may I put in a plug for Avi's solo work? Since he left Pentatonix in 2017, he has created some fantastic, beautiful songs. He layers his own vocals to create a full and lovely sound. He's just released 'Healing' which is fantastic. Most people start with his 'Change on the Rise' - not just a great song but also a memorable video!

Thanks for your enthusiastic reaction. PLEASE review Do You Hear What I Hear? It is a complex arrangement by the beat boxer Adam Rupp and is a FEAST FOR THE EARS. There is sooo much going on in the background. Oh Holy Night is GORGEOUS in the music and location. I found HF listening to Pentatonix on YT. I soon fell in love with HF and hardly listen to PTX anymore. I find HF does more rich harmony and more complex arrangements. And, you are right about why we like these guys, they seem so down to earth. They started in Mankato, MN (my home state) about 2000 while in college by brothers Chris & Adam Rupp & friend Matt Atwood. Over the years the group had other members come & go. In 2013 HF won the Sing Off with this lineup except for Adam Chance who replaced Chris in 2016. Current members are: Austin (high tenor from Georgia), Rob (tenor & can sing any type of genre including opera, is from Minnesota), Tim Faust (5 octave tenor-bass from TX), Chance (baritone-bass from Alabama), & Adam (beat boxer/tenor from Minnesota). This will be a JOYFUL ride down the HF rabbit hole.

You have so much to hear now lol. From country, r&b, gospel to opera...yes opera...welcome to Home Free! My thoughts would be End of the Road, Amazing Grace & Nessum Dorma! Just for starters...

@DRHHUB

Note - Nessun Dorma is on Austin Brown's (Home Free's high tenor) personal channel in which he sings with Rob (Home Free's lead tenor). Search "2 country singers try singing opera".

Next song of theirs you should listen to is Man of Constant Sorrow!! You will be amazed by the no-monica!!! ❤❤❤

You might consider watching their individual performances on the Sing Off. ( This was their third song they performed on the show.) They've recently redone those songs and put out new videos for some of them. It is fun to see them then and now. They have a way of making us see how close they are to each other and make us all feel like we're included in one big family .

Thanks for your reaction & analysis. This song is done in a country reggae beat. It showcases the higher & lower ranges of both Tim Foust & Avi Kaplan. That last note of Tim is impressive with how low he goes, but more impressive is how long he sustains the note. On the "Sing Off Show" that Home Free won in 2013 Tim goes even lower on this song "Ring Of Fire" & he impressed the judges so much that they gave them a standing ovation. And Adam Rupp once again was stellar in his vocal percussion. I've often thought Avi fit much better with Home Free's style of music than PTX.

Only one change of members since they won the Sing Off Season 4 in 2013. Founder Chris Rupp (brother of beatboxer Adam Rupp) went solo in 2016 and Adam Chance took up that 5th position. Chance's range is lower and provides an extra block on the harmony foundation. I still miss Chris's particular genius at arrangements. Home Free is my favorite of those "top three" groups. I knew they were the best in 2013, and IMO they are still the best, for continuity, balance, diversity, soul and passion. Friendship at its finest. Loved your comments!

Thank you so much!!

New subscriber. Great reaction, too! I love it when people discover Home Free. They are a freakishly talented group of fellas that excel in all music genres. They can make you laugh sometimes, they can make you cry sometimes but they always impress. Here's a cheat sheet on the group: Adam Rupp, co-founder of HF and the awesome beatboxer. Tim Foust, bass. He has a five-octave range. Rob Lundquist (glasses and beard) Tenor Harmony. Austin Brown, Lead Tenor. Adam Chance, Baritone ( goes by Chance). Chance replaced Chris Rupp (co-founder) who left in 2016. 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, American Pie featuring Don McLean, I Swear, Blue Ain't Your Color, Dive Bar Saints, The Driver, Crazy and Folsom Prison Blues. For some funny ones: Butts Medley, All About That Bass, Champagne Taste, Hillbilly Bone and Ray Stevens' Mississippi Squirrel Revival. For some serious ones: How Great Thou Art, Go Rest High On That Mountain. 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. They have recently released several new songs that you will want to check out. Unchained Melody, Listen to the Music, Brother and Stargazer Lilies trilogy: Give Me A Sign, Stargazer Lilies and Mr. ...Their latest releases are Might As Well Be Me, Playing With Fire, Remember My Name, Oh, Pretty Woman, Stand By Me, Cruise and Life is a Highway. To switch it up..try Two Country Singers try singing Opera. Adam Chance just wrote the theme song to Ubisoft's new Pirate themed video game, Skull and Bones and Home Free performs it. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole!

These guys have the best harmonies! And your right! I have met them in person and they are the bet group of down to earth fun guys! I agree with so much that you said. There are several sings that I never knew the lyrics of until I heard Home Free sing it and i heard every word. They sing so crisp and clear! Loved your reaction! More Home Free please!

Avi puts on the cowboy hat as an acknowledgement to Tim's insane note at the end. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole, there are so many great songs to check out by them. Man Of Constant Sorrow, Folsom Prison Blues, Workin' For A Livin', and Listen To The Music are all worth a listen.

They are amazing. In the holiday vein, Do you hear what I hear? Or O holy night are incredible.

Not only did Tim hit that note, he sustained it. He has been known to blow out sound systems. Gotta love Tim.

Subbing today for more HF reactions. Enjoyed your commentary. Professionals always have very interesting and educational observations. I love the sound that the all male voices are able to produce. This group is my favorite above all the others. For five part harmony try Helplessly Hoping. Beautiful but way too short!

THANAK YOU.. , for wearing the headphones. It really is a MUST for a cappella groups. I agree that you just want to sit down with these guy around a fire and tell great stories. These guys are true down-to-earth country boys just getting together and doing what they all love to do...SING. HF has a huge catalogue of music, so pick anything, you won't be disappointed. Some of my fav's " Sea Shanty Medley", "Mayday", "Skull and Bones", "Land of the Free", ...I could go on for weeks😁😁, Home Free fans are called Home Fries, just a note, and we come from a large range of ages and backgrounds. Enjoy your journey down the HF rabbit hole.

Subbed for more #homefree. ❤them. Great reaction!

This group does amazing covers, but their last few albums have mostly original music. Tim Foust and Austin Brown are good songwriters and they have been inspired. Adam Chance also wrote a new song for a video game Home Free was commissioned to write after their Sea Shanty Medley went viral. Skull and Bones is awesome, so now this group has 3 songwriters.

The fact that replacing Chris with Chance didn't upset the balance is just short of miraculous. It did CAHNGE the balance, but it didn't ruin it. Now that you have done both ends of their history (this and Stand by Me), you can pick just about any song from their catalog that you want to. With the holidays coming up, I'm sure you will get suggestions for Do You Hear What I Hear, and O Holy Night, Angels we Have Heard on High, and I'll be Home for Christmas. Those are all "Chris" era videos, and excellent. More current ones are Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, a newer video of Silent Night from 2017, Snow Globe, Mary Did You Know, and their cover of What Christmas Means to Me. As for non-Christmas - just close your eyes and point.

You have reacted to one of their songs before, Stans By Me 😊 They ate so good, and so much to discover! Their cover of Helplessly Hoping is amazing.

Probably my favorite Home Free song

Love 💕 # HOMEFREE. Thank you for your reaction.

LOL EVERYONE wants to hang out with Home Free 😊 they really are genuinely good hearted guys AND FUNNY!!

Delightful reaction! And insightful comments. New sub hoping to follow your discovery of #homefree. Tim and two of the other guys have beautiful solos in their "In the Blood" (John Mayer).

I love Home Free and when I found your R & A to this song, I immediately joined your channel. Welcome to the Home Fries community! Keep them coming!

Love your home free reactions and break down. Since Christmas is coming up soon a good one to react to would be Do You Hear What I Hear, Oh Holly Night, and Marry Did You Know. They’re all so well done. But everything Home Free does is an upgrade for sure.

They have an original song called Snow Globe written by Tim, and he sings lead in most of it. It’s usually played around Christmas time

This group is fun. Professional but not adverse to funny stories and videos (Friends In Low Places, Hillbilly Bone, Guilty Pleasures Derailed) but you'll appreciate their full sound best with "Helplessly Hoping". That one is just stunning.

Now I’ve seen two of your HF reviews. I love how you critique a song! Yes I’m subbing. If you get a chance review their version of Helplessly Hoping. No beat boxing just 5 men singing the very best a cappella ever. It’s short but truly amazing. 🎶🥰

Their version of Helplessly Hoping is so clean and beautiful that it may bring tears to your eyes.

They were started about 21 years ago by 2 brother, Chris and Adam Rupp.

Home Free will not disappoint. They have such a wide range of music genres that they have mastered. So many suggestions to make! How Great Thou Art. Helplessly Hoping, Mary Did You Know. Two Country Singers Try to Sing Opera. 9 to 5 live with beatbox breakdown. Thanks for reacting!

You might enjoy watching their performances on the televised a capella contest "Sing Off" in 2013. All of their performances are available on KZread.

Yes, yes. And I would like for you to react to Helplessly Hoping, Auld Lang Syne, and about 200 more! I am a true Voctave fan, but these guys are "my boys!"

I luved how they gave Avi a chance to shine and still show that Tim is thee basist in this group! It is priceless!

You should definitely check out Avi Kaplans solo music. Change on the Rise is his most watched (so far) and Healing is his latest.

Avi Kaplin tipping his hat to Tim Foust at the end of this is such a profound moment of respect. Incredible. 😅

Please do more HomeFree. We "Home Fries" will be here for it. The members are Tim (you already know he's the bass); Austin is the high tenor from Georgia; Rob is the tenor (bushy beard); Adam Rupp is the one-of-a-kind beatboxer; and then his brother, Chris Rupp Chris Rupp left and has been replaced with Adam Chance.

This song is pure fire, they just released a new rendition of this song. Loved the reaction thank you

Interesting fact, Home Free have been known for their baritone and basing to swap roles occasionally as they both can sing base

Love this reaction

So glad I found you. Totally enjoyed your reaction. They are so talented, the possibilities are endless. Please keep the Home Free coming !!

They won the Sing Off on Season Three. Johnny’s wife, June Carter wrote this song about her love for him.

Try Avi's solo music. It's breathtaking.

You mentioned musical theater... Austin js from Georgia and studied musical theater in college, and has a outstanding version of Bring Him Home on his own channel (among other great music). Rob (bearded tenor with glasses) was a vocal performance major and is classically trained. Adam Rupp (beatboxer) studied trumpet in college, then taught himself how to play drums so his vocal percussion would be better. Both Rob and Adam are from Minnesota. Tim is from Texas and served as Austin's translator when he joined the group (because the Minnesota guys couldnt understand him!). Chance is from Alabama and sang bass in another aca group before joining HF.

Some Home Free must sees are: Man of Constant Sorrow, Helplessly Hoping, End of the Road, Brothers in Arms and Listen to the Music. They also have some funny videos such as Cold Hard Cash for Christmas, All About the Bass and Grandma got Run Over by a Reindeer.

I've seen then 5 times in 4 different states, and can tell you they truly ARE great guys who are fantastic singers. Subbed!

And to think, you have yet to hear Rob and Austin sing opera yet..... Yes. Opera. No kidding.

Have you not been listening to any Avi Kaplan solo work ? like Change on the Rise and Other Side

One of Adam Rupp's nicknames is Spitter, for just that reason.

Seeing the time of year listen to Home Free's version of "Oh Holy Night" anther good one is "How Great You Art" watch that one for the Location they do the video in if nothing else but you will love the harmony they just ooze allover the Alps.

Welcome to the HomeFree Rabbit Hole. We are the HomeFries, where HomeFree gets air time...we show up! You have just listened to the most talented, humble and down to earth group of guys in Acapella ! It is a deep and twisted Rabbit Hole with more than 300 videos to their credit! They sound "Country Strong " but they have songs in every genre. Ranging from Worship to Sea Shanty and everything in between. Rob and Austin even have a video for Opera, no joke real Opera! They are different from the other Acapella groups in the breakdown of the vocal dynamics. Most groups have 2 Tenor, 1 Bass, 1 Baritone and 1 Percussionist...HomeFree 's group of 5 breaks down to 5 Tenor, 2 Bass, 2 Baritone and what is the most accurate and talented Beatbox in the "Big 3". The Big 3 are HomeFree, Voiceplay and Pentatonics....the 3 most dominant groups in Contemporary Acapella. Started in 2000 by Adam Rupp-the Beatbox and his brother Chris Rupp who is no longer with the group. He left the group in 2016 to pursue other projects, he left with all the love, respect and best wishes of the group. After that Adam Chance (known simply as Chance to ease the confusion of having 2 Adam's in the group. You have so many directions that you can go especially with this week being Christmas! You can have your mind blown with " Do you hear what I hear ", you can go more traditional with "O Holy Night", or you can go really fun with "Full of Cheer"! Welcome my friend, we look forward to watching your mind slowly melting in disbelief at how amazing they are. I know that it sounds like just another over reaching fan but you will very quickly realize that I am just being realistic! I look forward to following your journey through the vast variety of both covers and original work. One amazing original that will give you a really good feel for HomeFree! ❤

Welcome to the best vocal band out there imho. Everything Home Free does leaves you in your feels. Great reaction and analysis. I would love to see more Home Free from you and will happily sub and go down this unbelievable rabbit hole ride with you.

Im continuously mind blown at the fact that Tim has a vocal range that spans 5, thats right, FIVE octaves.. 😱🤯

Absolute FREAKIN AMAZING

Austin Brown & Rob Lundquist got together and tried to sing opera. They chose an aria by Puccini called Nessum Dorma. I don’t know if you like opera or not, but if you decide to check it out, I don’t think you will be disappointed. It is on Austin Brown’s KZread channel. I would love to see your reaction.

There have been many changes thru the years. Adam (beatboxer)2000, Rob (glasses and beard tenor) joined 2008, Tim (bass) joined in 2012, Austin (high tenor) joined in 2013, Chris Rubb left in 2016, they added Adam Chance ( they call him Chance baritone/bass) joined in 2016. They all sing lead for a song then the producer decides on which version will be used. Their live shows is not just singing, They are funny. Tim's segment Story time with Tim started as a filler once when there was technical problems. Now it is requested at the shows.

Tim's 5 octave bass (C-1 to A-5) totally impresses me.

Loved your reaction! I'm a news subscriber and I really hope you will react to LOTS more HF. They have amazing covers to so many!

Great reactions Nick! Check out History of Home Free. They have 7 short videos that are about half hour long each that tells how they got together and goes through all the people that have been in the group along with many funny stories of how they got to where they are today. Very down to earth and humble groups of guys. If you ever have the opportunity to go see them live definitely take it. You won't be disappointed. Have a great day!

Austin Brown, the tenor in this piece, studied musical theater in school.

New sub

Olá! Você faz um trabalho! excelennnte...⚘️❤

Howdy Nick!! New sub here. Jumped on board for your trip down the HF rabbit hole 🎉🎉🎉 Looking forward to you becoming a Home Fry

Chris Rupp has on his channel him reacting to the videos he’s in and giving you a behind the scenes look.

New subscriber here! If you want to hear something that was filmed during quarantine, I'd highly recommend the Sea Shanty Medley from Home Free. Great video, and I'm excited for more! Much love your way😁❤💖💕💝💜💛

Nick, there’s another amazing acapella group you might want to check out sometime called Voctave ❤

YES, an absolute MUST, especially at Christmas!!! (They also have a wonderful selection of Disney and Broadway music.) Mary, Did You Know feat. Mark Lowry (who wrote the lyrics) - musical perfection. (Note, they do not have a beatboxer so are pure vocals; they are also a part-time group but are all professional singers.) Be prepared to be blown away.

The beat boxer Adam Rupps nickname is "The Spitter!" They make sure no one is in front of him during videos. Lol

There’s evidence that Home Free recorded this video in the same session of Tim’s original “Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget”. Just as musical with enhance antics.

THE GREATEST 🥰🎶

If you venture into their other stuff. Will you still love me/ stay by Tim will SHOCK you 😊

Шикаро

along with Whitney add Chris Stapleton singing the anthem at the Super Bowl--it was epic as well

You must listen to their rendition of How Great Though Art

Check out Home Free sing Do You Hear What I Hear!!!

Aside from being extremely talented, they are down to earth and have a great sense of humor. That they do tend to let out and it goes wild, so be prepared.

As a professional singer I'm sure you'll appreciate the intricate harmonies, great singing and truly amazing beatboxing. 3 of them are song writers so there are lots of originals as well as covers. Moreover, they each have channel(s) of their own & tour extensively (there are lots of live videos). You can't run out of content! Bonus: you'll find your subscriptions rise exponentially by playing the acapella bands!

P.S. - You nailed it on both counts - Austin Brown (high tenor) is from south Georgia and his degree is in MusicTheater.

I would really suggest you try Man Of Constant Sorrow and All About That Base. They give you a good look at the different thing Home free can do.

I have a couple of suggestions for you, some more classical ones. Check out some of the stuff from Anuna (Media Vita, Dulaman, Fionnghuala, and Cormacus Scripsit are all classics of theirs), and also check out the rendition of "Sukla Krsne" with Shanul Sharma doing the solo

Subbed for more HF.

Listen to some of their other great things... Try "Sea shanty medley" or their newer one "Skull and bones" for Ubisoft's video game. Another classic like this one would be "man of constant sorrow" After you listen to a few of these, then you can listen to "Mayday". But save that one for a bit so you know the guys and that one has a surprise. "Friends in low places" and for an original "Champaine taste on a beer budget".... If you really like Tim foust, after all this listen to "will you still love me tomorrow / Stay"

Check out Sea Shanty Medley and Mayday and when a man loves a woman
