Sorry to disappoint you but in Adams own words he has no interest or time to compete for a world championship

Your faces when you realize the harmonica was done with his voice. HILARIOUS!!!! 🤣🤣 Love you guys!!

Loved your reactions. It’s “a cappella” music which means no instruments, it’s all done by their voices. They won the NBC show the Sing Off in 2013 the year after Pentatonix won (another incredible “a cappella’ group). They do sing country but they sing all genres of music. Tim, the bass, has a 5 octave range so he can sing bass all the way up to tenor. They can all sing and their beatboxer is amazing doing drums, harmonica, bugs and all kinds of sounds. Chance (back row with vest) was doing the “mouth harp” which sounds like a didgeridoo but isn’t. The beatboxer, Adam, can do a didgeridoo however. Try the Boyz II Men hit End of the Road by them…it’s so good. Also listen to Adam Rupp Drum Solo on you tube. He’s amazing.

Acapella singing is definitely a thing. Home Free is perhaps the only country acapella group, but there are many others. The group formed in 2000, and Adam Rupp (the beatboxer) was one of the two people, with his brother Chris, who started the group, in Minnesota. Over the years the membership changed, with Rob Lundquist, the bearded tenor, joining next, and Tim Foust, the low bass coming after. Austin Brown, the high tenor lead in this song, joined the group a few years later, and Chris Rupp, one of the founders of the group, left to pursue a solo career and picked Adam Chance to be his replacement. Adam Rupp and Rob Lundquist both live in Minnesota, while Tim Foust and Austin Brown are from Nashville. Adam Chance is from LA. But Tim is originally from Texas, Austin is from Georgia, and Chance is from Alabama.

Let’s go! Homefree is amazing! All human voices. This is called a cappella check it out. You two will love it!

As for the song, it is over a 100 years old, written in 1913. It was made popular in the George Clooney movie, Oh Brother Where Art Thou in 2000 by the Soggy Bottom Boys. Regarding Home Free they are strictly A Capella, and they use no instruments. They were founded in 2000 by the beatboxer and his brother, who left the band in 2016. They are from Mankato, Minn. along with the bearded guy with glasses. The bass singer is from east Texas, the lead singer is from Georgia, and the guy in the back making the jaw harp sound grew up in southern Alabama. They are the only known country vocal band, but also do a lot of R&B and pop covers as well. They also have a number of originals as well. They have a huge fan base known as Home Fries, and have nearly 150 videos and close to 400 million KZread views. Since most band rely on instruments, they may have just one or two singers, but all of these guys can sing, beatbox, and make musical instrument sounds that gives their product a full and rich experience. Although there are other A Capella bands, there is no one like what Home Free does. Hope you do more HF. There is not one performance you won't like with them.

Anything Home Free does is better than the originals 😆

Here comes a hell of a journey. Check out them doing Boys to Men "End of the Road"...

Remember, it is an A Cappella group. They are making all those sounds with their mouths. Not one instrument. Home Free is awesome. HOG 4Life!

Down the Home Free rabbit hole you go. You’re gonna love it.

Home Free is lit. More please. Beatboxer is world class. Their version of End of the Road will blow you away. They all beat box and sing lead. The bass can also go high. They interchange roles a lot.

No instruments at all, you should check out the cover they did to “End of the Road”.

You will enjoy them singing "Butts Remix"

They can do so much with just their voices. Y’all rocked this as usual.

From what i've heard Tim has blown bass speakers during live performances because of how deep his voice is, Adam can seemingly create any instrumental sound with just his mouth and body,

The genre is a capella or vocal band and yes they were making all the noises. Check out Adam Rupp drum solo 2018. He is their beatboxer. Although all of the guys can do sounds and some beatboxing.

Finally!!! There is a rabbit hole available here... Perhaps the cover of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire next? Home Free has the Home Fries, cut from the same cloth as Tom MacDonald's HOG.

The song first published by Dick Burnett, a partially blind fiddler from Kentucky. The song was originally titled "Farewell Song" in a songbook by Burnett dated to around 1913. An early version was recorded by Emry Arthur in 1928, which gave the song its current titles. It’s been sung by many including George Clooney in the 2000 movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”

You guys kill me🤣🤣🤣 love your reactions! 😂

The genre is a cappella. Yes. 100% vocal, but there are multiple tracts used on the video. When performing live they use a loop station. Hoping you will want to discover more.

It's considered county folk and bluegrass. Remember when the movie Brother, where art thou came out this song was all over the airwaves. The movie is adapted from the Odyssey by Homer.

@@jackmandu :"The song is from 1913, so no one these days has heard the “original” song." Not only that, but the original doesn't sound anything like the current version. Nor does the 1928 Emry Arthur version. Nor the 1950s Stanley Brothers version, though you can tell it's getting there. The versions recorded in the 60's during the folk music craze aren't at all like the current version, melodically. Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, Joan Baez, Peter Paul & Mary... all recorded versions. While they're lyrically recognizable as the same song, they aren't, melodically. You're right, the Dan Tyminski version from O Brother Where Art Thou, with George Clooney lip syncing, is where this version seems to have settled out.

100% voice. There are videos of their award winning beat boxer doing an entire drum kit. It’s insane. End of the road, ring of fire, my church. They have so many greats

Like all well produced records, there’s after-affects, tuning, etc., but it’s all their voices 👍

The main singer of this song, Austin Brown was performing on a cruise ship when the then band came on to perform. He was invited to join them and never looked back. You mentioned them as a choir...to truly hear them as a choir look up the U2 cover I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by Peter Hollens feat. Home Free. From what I gather Peter and the group turned to their Patreon fans and had them record themselves singing the song then send them in to be edited together. This was during quarantine and the 6 guys were all at their homes, separated from each other...well, the resulting video is hard to describe, you just have to experience that beautiful bit of heaven for yourself. Also check out Austin Brown going non-acappella with Unchained Melody, backed by a single guitar. Beautiful!

them boy's have some kind of talent.

try this one "OOGIE BOOGIE'S SONG | The Nightmare Before Christmas | VoicePlay A Cappella Cover" its a good one

Haha, yep! They’re all a capella! This is one of very few songs which they use a looper station on when performing it live(and you can tell the beatboxer has a blast running it 😂) I really hope you check out the Home Free rabbit hole 😊 I hope you have fun! You can’t go wrong with any of their songs, they’re amazing. If you’d like a quick guide, you have: Austin Brown: high tenor - the guy who started the lyrics first, long, curly, reddish hair - he’s from Tifton, Georgia and they met him when they were both performers on a cruise ship! (He was a theatrical singer, impressed them, and they eventually asked him to join - except with his Georgia accent back 😋 They feature his theatrical singing in Bring Him Home from Les Mis live on stage) Rob Lunquist: second tenor - the guy on the side who also had the lead, long beard and glasses - he’s from Minnesota, and is the second-longest involved current member(I think he was local which is why they met him) Tim Foust: bass - shoulder length brown hair, although he cut it recently, but I think his voice makes him identifiable enough - he’s from southeast Texas, and they met him through networking, the group went through a lot of really good basses, but couldn’t keep one, and Tim was singing for different a cappella groups(he also released a solo album after joining Home Free, some of the songs of which Home Fire has re-recorded) Adam Rupp: beatboxer - easy enough to spot, but has blondish hair long or short - he’s from Mankato, Minnesota and cofounded the group with his brother Chris Rupp when they were in college. He has a degree in trumpet performance which helps with his beatboxing technique, and he’s called the “freak of nature” because his beatboxing is just so incredible-which is funny to find in a country group, but he is literally one of the best. Adam Chance(called Chance): current baritone - short dark hair and short dark beard - he replaced Chris Rupp when he left(on good terms to pursue other music) and he used to sing bass for an a capella group called Streetcorner Symphony which was on the same season of The Sing-Off that Home Free won. That’s how they met(and there was a tour afterwards so the became friends) and he joined a few years later. Now when Tim sings lead they’re able to let him take bass without killing their baritone 😂 (if you want to know where he’s from, he’s from Alabama - also, Tim and Austin live in Nashville now, Adam and Rob live in Minnesota, and Chance lives in LA) And Chris Rupp: past baritone - you’ll see him in older videos, bald or wearing a cowboy hat - he cofounded the group, but it was really his labor of love. Once they got their lineup straight (after several different high tenors and basses) their group really took off and they solidified their sound. They then won The Sing-Off and began producing music videos and albums, and they’ve been incredibly successful ever since. They don’t have any shortage of awesome songs, but some to start with include “End Of The Road”, “The Butts Medley”, “Ring of Fire” ft. Avi Kaplan(the bass of Pentatonix) They’re pretty unique in their country a capella style, when they won The Sing-Off(the same show that Pentatonix won), but they also extend to other genres : ) - Plus have an incredible sense of comedy that’s well worth a look. There have been a few versions of Man of Constant Sorrow, I think the most widely known version would be from the movie Oh Brother, Where Art Though, but I only know this song from Home Free’ version. Also! 4/5 of them have degrees in music, everyone except Tim, their bass. 4/5 of them have formal singing training, everyone except Adam, their beatboxer. Austin their high tenor was training in theatrical performance, and Adam Rupp has a degree in trumpet performance, I don’t know about the other two’s degrees, but fun fact, when their beatboxer sings, he’s a tenor!

That moment of realization. So fun to watch

Florida girl here. I absolutely love y'all! The terrain in this video looked like Florida. Great reaction!

Yes, this is a whole different genre. Home Free is considered the world's first country acapella band, and they are freaking crazy talented and skills. They do all sorts of genres, though, and countryfy them. They make covers their own and their originals are also amazing! All sounds are made by human voice, and occasionally a body beat. Go down this journey and you will getting blown away. Oh, and they can wrench your heart with one song and in the next they make laugh your butt off, like in their Butts Medley. I hope you react to more of their songs. Great reaction!

She asked an age old question, does it all just happen by chance? Well let’s hope not! Great Reaction.

The Didgeridoo sound that you mentioned is actually being done by the use of a mouth harp. At the very end they actually show Adam Chance "Chance" for a few seconds making the sound. Most of the other "Beat Boxing" sounds are made by Adam Rupp "Adam" who is the back right for all the group shots. The other members do help with other sounds, like Rob singing the "dum dum doo" part through most of the song.

the original was from why back in 1927 and is considered bluegrass. it was most resently mad popular in the movie "O'brother Where Arent Though" performed bt the Dan Tyminski band.

I had fun watching this review

This style of music is known as Bluegrass and got started in the 1930's, and it came to prominence after world war 2. It's roots go back to folk music from rural southern states and the isolated communities in the Appalachian mountains.

great songs by them: when a man loves a woman, mayday, the butts remix (funny song), we just disagree, take me home country roads….so many great covers

Each member of Home Free is able to do some sort of percussion sound, plus they take turns for being the lead depending on the song. Just remember that every sound you hear is made by someone in the group. Welcome to the world of acapella singing.

She was spot on! I'm pretty sure some of them are from the northern Midwest. Until recently, I had never seen Home Free use any instruments, but there's a guitar in a very recent video. Every sound in this video is from their voices.

But be forewarned...this is a rabbit hole of great music and insane musical talent. You could literally do 3-6months of reaction videos to just those 3 groups

The quick and dirty run-down of the formation: the beatboxer, Adam, and his brother Chris formed the group in Minneapolis with Rob, the husky, dark bearded fellow. Chris is no longer with the group. He left to start a solo career. They recruited Tim Foust, the bass. He's originally from Texas. They had performed some of the same gigs and knew each other. They found Austin, the slender, hat-wearing guy in the middle, while he was a singer on a cruise ship. He's from Georgia. Chance, the guy who was making the mouth harp sound, what you thought was a didgeridoo, replaced Chris as the group's baritone. Chance is from Alabama. I'm sure some of that isn't 100% accurate, but it's close enough. The point is that they all met in the ways musicians normally meet: either by auditioning for a job the way an actor does, or by not so random chance while performing. Home Free won The Sing Off the year after Pentatonix did. VoicePlay came in second to Home Free. Those are the 3 biggest a cappella groups going.

When you talk acapella you have to include Pentatonix in the conversation their videos Radioactive, Daft Punk, Sing, and 90's Dance Medley are definitely worth your time.

There are other groups similar to this. Pentatonix 90s Dance Medley!

I've watched a lot of your videos and this one as far as your reactions go was one of my favorites I just love how befuddled you guys are about it at the end and yes befuddled was the best word I could think of.

The song is very old and is a traditional American folk song first published by Dick Burnett, a partially blind fiddler from Kentucky. The song was originally titled "Farewell Song" in a songbook by Burnett dated to around 1913. What is amazing about this version by Home Free | Man of Constant Sorrow is that it is acapella and the musical sounds of the drums, Jew's harp, mouth harp (harmonica) and beat box are all done by two singers in the band. Watch for them.
