@@angelika5029 Actually Adam Chance ALSO beatboxes.... he does the jaw harp in Man of Constant Sorrow, and he helps Adam Rupp in live shows too....as does Rob.
I'm still watching but wanted to comment that "great balls of Barry White" might be my favorite exclamation ever. Made me laugh out loud 😂 Ok just finished.. glad you're checking them out! Their cover of Man of Constant Sorrow is really good.. great display of all their talents.
@@atomicsquid9836 agreed, even my $1,000 svs subwoofer was having trouble with it, but that might be because of the settings and the fact im still breaking it in lol.
Absolutely, I was super impressed seeing them live, but I have always liked country music, gospel music, acapella groups and barbershop quartets. My gf of the time was not as impressed :/ as I was
Wait, where's the drum set? See that tall skinny guy with the dark blond hair? THAT is the drum set. He's also any birds chirping, any harmonicas, crickets, wind blowing, and on and on. He's not a beatboxer, he's an alien who can mimic just about any sound.
@@anne-francehd8150 Yes, very good harmonica. Better than I can do on a corporeal (real) harmonica. I've heard there's a video of Adam and Austin having a non-hrmonica play off contest. Haven't found that yet but I'll bet it's a hoot.
You did a reaction to Misty Mountains by Peter Hollens. Well, he did a version (and a video) of that song with Tim Foust, the bass singer of Home Free, that is an absolute must!
It was fun to see this reaction. The men of Home Free are: Austin Brown - high tenor Rob Lundquist - tenor, has beard Chris Rupp - baritone, often wears a cowboy hat, brother to Adam, founder of group Tim Foust - bass Adam Rupp - beatboxer, occasionally sings baritone, brother of Chris, founder of group In 2016, Chris left the group and a new baritone Adam Chance (goes by Chance to avoid confusion with Adam Rupp) was added. Chance can also sing bass which allows them more vocal freedom when Tim sings lead. When they decide to do a song, whether a cover or original, they have a sing off between themselves to come up with a lead singer. So some songs have more than one lead. They are known for great harmonics and humor especially during live shows. If something goes wrong on stage they are known to make fun of it and just keep the audience (and themselves) entertained. They have both serious and comedic songs and videos. Fans are referred to as Home Fries, a name created by Ben Folds when Hone Free was on the Sing-Off.
You missed the memo that since this video Chris went solo and was replaced (sorry, bad with names, was in another Sing Off group and maybe has the same name as another Home Free member).
Splendid It’s in what I wrote. Chris was replaced by Adam Chance who goes by Chance so as not to cause confusion with Adam Rupp the beatboxer. Chris left in 2016.
They actually did do it live...without Avi. They won the Sing Off, and one of the performances was Ring of Fire...in which Tim actually went lower on that last note!
I've watched home free live in concert four times and they do this song Because duh ... and every single time Tim hits that last note it makes your heart skip a beat or two or three
You have found a treasure trove of a capella with Home Free. Please check out net from Home Free - Helplessly Hoping (a cover of a 1969 Crosby, Stills & Nash B-side song) It's ART,,,,just plain and simple ART. The Home Free Bass is Tim Foust, the high tenor at the beginning was Austin Brown, their tenor (guy with the beard and glasses) is Rob Lundquist, beritone here in this video is Chris Rupp who founded the group, but he left in 2016 to have a solo career, and was replaced by Adam Chance (but called in the group & by fans just Chance), and the beatboxer is 2 time world Champion beat boxer Adam Rupp. They can do all genre's of music, they have covered BoyzIIMen, and dozens of country artists but also some of their own originals. They have also collabed with Lee Greenwood, Kenny Rogers & the Oak Ridge Boys, We the fans call ourselves Home Fries. Also look for their cover of How Great Thou Art, an original Why Not ?, and their latest came out just this past Saturday....a cover of a Foy Vance song called Moonshine. There is video to of Adam Rupp's "drum solo" which has no drums here on RUclips. They give him a solo part at each of their concerts. I've seen them twice in concert...they also are still in Quarantine and have produced 10 new videos/songs since it all started. Their Quarantine song is funny, shows their sense of humor. Their cover of Everybody Walkin' This Land has a powerful message for today...
"Great balls of Barry White" - That is such a fantastic line. I love it. I really like it when vocal coaches react to videos because your musical knowledge adds so much to the commentary. When a layman reacts, the comments usually end up being something like "Wow, that's really cool".
It seems pretty clear that you haven't listened to his songs yet, because someone in his right mind, who listens to Avi Kaplan, would never say something like that. So please be kind and don't judge a musician or his music if you don't know what you're talking about, and thank you.
@@christellekhalil1738 perhaps it would be more accurate to say that I don't like the music he makes now. Every song I've heard him sing since he lost pentatonix has been unbearably slow and monotonous, which I find extremely undesirable in music.
FYI. It’s not “The Pentatonix”. Rather it’s just “Pentatonix”! Also, you know Avi left PTX (amicably)? His mom was ill, and it was very hard for him. He helped to find the new bass for PTX, Matt Sallee!! Avi is now solo, and doing amazing work!
@@keoashford1924 Where is confirmation on this? Because I've seen this debate, and I have personally compared the end note of Misty Mountains against a number of samples of G#1, and Tim is clearly an octave below that. It's a growl, not a chest note, but I have found nothing actually supporting it being a G#1. It matches G#0, and is a half step below his A0 in Sold! (which I have also checked against a number of A0 samples to confirm a match, as well as A1 samples to confirm it is an octave lower). If you have more solid evidence than this that it is indeed G#1, I'm interested to see it.
@@KillerTruffle The A0 does not exist in Sold. There is a video on Dan Mirabel's channel where Tim video responds to a question about the A0. Tim's growl in Misty is only a first octave note, and it's very obvious when taken to a keyboard. Sorry if your aural skills aren't on par mate.
@@keoashford1924 I looked at that video (hadn't seen it before), and it's a little short of a confirmation. He said "I believe... but my memory's not great." That does raise more into question, but I still do not see concrete evidence that it's not an A0. In fact, nowhere in Tim's reply did he state that the note was an A1 rather than A0. The only question Tim's response even touches on is who actually sang the note - he "believes" it was Adam. Which if that's true, I just got a whole lot more respect for Adam too - and he's already one of my favorites in the group (great sounding bass in Mayday), if it's possible to have favorites when every one of them is amazing. I will admit I do not have a keyboard handy to track along with the notes and have only been able to make due with finding other note samples online, but I'll look into it some more.
Their cover of Castle on the Hill is a great example of a band with no instruments. Adam Rupp has the cleanest, most realistic drum skills I've heard. You will enjoy checking out more Home Free.
Other Home Free songs to check out: "Man of Constant Sorrow", "Butts Remix", "Blue Ain't Your Color", "Hillbilly Bone", "Country Fried Pop", "Go Rest High on that Mountain" and "Do You Hear What I Hear"
I got dragged here watching reactions to Home Free. I'll watch almost any reaction video once. But there are only a few that I enjoy their program consistently. I really enjoy your reactions and your descriptions. You keep it fun without being obviously contrived.
You are impressed by Home Free's beatboxer? Well, he's gotten a lot better if you can believe it. It only a bit later than this video but if you look up, 'Adam Rupp - drum solo' the other guys back up and let him take the stage solo for a bit. One thing though, you'll be getting requests for their cover of 'Mayday by CAM'. I wouldn't do that one until you are more familiar with them as a group. They have a.. surprise in the first part of that video that will go over your head if you haven't seen who does what. I would watch a few more of their videos before doing Mayday.
Hi Ken If you want to hear Tim go deeper you should react to Tim and Peter Hollens singing Misty Mountain. How Great Thou Art is Beautiful. You should react to Man of Constant Sorrow and see him do a Harmonica. You should watch some videos of Home Free with Tim going Low. The beat boxer does the harmonica
I just realized that if I ever wanted to demolish my house, these guys can do it with their voices. The brick and mortar would vibrate until all is gone. It is so fricking awesome!!!
All of Home Free’s music is fantastic! Just make sure you really know the band before you listen to “Mayday”. Also check out their stuff from after 2016 since they had a lineup change. Chris Rupp left the group and Adam Chance took his place. A great example is their version of “Auld lang syne”.
I’m a bit late to this reaction. However, I must say… This has been my favorite reaction by you so far. To see the look of awe on your face. Priceless. ❤
Really enjoyed the reaction and commentary. Looking forward to more Home Free reactions. About Home Free’s bass, Tim Foust, he actually started as a tenor and he’s found that by continuing to work on keeping his tenor range he’s been able to extend his bass range as well.
What a fantastic reaction to this song, and Tim Foust's earth-shaking bass! Please continue falling through the Home Free rabbit hole, How Great Thou Art and Auld Lang Syne are perfect displays of their buttery smooth harmonies!
Thank you for reacting to Home Free! 🎶😁🎵 This group has gotten me through the pandemic. You have barely scratched the surface of what these guys are capable of. There is so much more and you will never walk away not being uplifted. They love what they do and the energy delivered is well received❗️Loved your reaction & exclamations. 😁
“Great balls of Barry White”! You’re so freaking adorable! This is when Chris was part of the group. Now we have Adam Chance and he is a baritone and the sound is much more rounded now!
Prior to joining Pentatonix, Avi was studying opera and is a basso profundo with an extended high range. However, I think Tim Foust has an even more extended range to the high end.
Home Free's bass is Tim Foust who has a 5 octave range. He has said his voice didn't change until he was about 17 and he is now 39. Head down the rabbit hole that is Home Free and please react to "Mayday" where Tim will surprise you when he leads off that song. Tim has always said "Work on your high range and the low end will take care of itself". Tim is also a songwriter and has a solo album out titled "The Best That I Can Do". Welcome to the land of the Home Fries! You have a lot of work ahead of you.
His philosophy is similar to mine. I tend to believe that the low end will take care of itself, but I think that's easier for people who already have pretty low voices to begin with.
Welcome to home free!! They have their own channel on RUclips with a ton of videos. Tim is the bass. Adam Rupp is the beatboxer. He has won world competitions in beatboxing. Check out man of constant sorrow or in the blood or can't fight the feeling
Love the response, they are my favourite group and great guys, see them every time they come to Canada near me. Better in person. All sounds are made with the human voice. You should check out mayday now, the incredible bass you heard at the end, Tim Foust shows his range a little :). Subscribed.
You said Basso Profondo with the Italian pronunciation and I'm veeeery happy! 😁🇮🇹 If you like Avi Kaplan's voice let me suggest you some of his originals: "Change on The Rise" - "It Knows Me" - "Chains" + the cover of "Lean On Me". Home Free's bass is Tim Foust and beatboxer Adam Rupp. All of these gentlemen are fantastic!
Great reaction.. you give such good info, too! Home Free's bass is Tim Foust.. he has a 5 octave range. We have seen them live 4 times now, and each time I find myself with my jaw dropped open for the entire first song.. they are so talented! They are just as good, if not better when you actually see them live.. the energy in the crowd is truly palpable. The last time we saw them was way down in NC where our daughter lives..She and her friend were in the row in front of us and i leaned forward to whisper something to her and almost landed in her lap when Tims bass echoed thru the venue. I have seen instances of him causing the plaster to fall from the ceiling and his bass notes breaking sound systems.. and he seems so nice, too! Thanks so much for your videos! Philly fry here..
NOTE = that at the end TIM FOUST - Bass at it's best ..... is so low, so clean, so bold and smooth EVEN ANOTHER GREAT BASS SINGER (Avi Kaplan) JUST SMILES AS HE SINGS BACKGROUND WHILE EYING TIM'S FINAL LOW NOTE ! Home Free !!!!!!
This is a reaction almost a year after this was posted so I'm sure you know by now that Home Free has five tenors and at least two basses. They are a deeply talented group. Thanks for the informative review.
Tim Foust (Home Free's bass) has a 5 octave range - "Snow Globe" which he wrote, really shows it off. Home Free also has an outstanding version of "When A Man Loves A Woman" and the video "Mayday (Live") is amazing. Loved your reaction to the two basses. The beatboxer is Adam Rupp - he and his brother Chris (in the black cowboy hat) founded the band.
So glad you chose this one for your wonderful, as always, reaction :) Loved every minute of it, especially the moment you ask "where is the drumset" heh
Was nice to hear someone mention Maestro Terfel. The man is one of my musical heroes (as are Hvorostovsky, Pape, Moll, Ramey, and the Russian Oktavist; Vlad Miller). Loved your reaction at Tim Foust hitting that G1 at the end!
The beatboxer is Adam Rupp you need to watch Adam Rupp drum solo..he will make you a believer! Loved the harmonies and beatboxing! Avi and Tim were amazing! Notice how Tim held that last low note for about 10 seconds? Great reaction 🎉 I love Home Free😊
Loved your reaction. It’s ok to have never heard of them. I just discovered them this year too. They are tremendous. Tim Foust is the incredible bass you were hearing at the end. He hit a G1 and held it for 13 seconds I believe. On their live version of this song on the Sing Off show Tim hit a F1. Their harmonies are superb in everything they do. How Great Thou Art, Auld Lang Syne, Helplessly Hoping are all incredible. But they do a lot of country and I’m not even a great fan of country but I love them. I love Country Roads, the John Denver cover, it’s beautiful. Enjoy!
You hit the nail on the head with "Basso Profundo". Before being recruited into Pentatonix when he was about 21, Avi was an opera major at Mt. San Antonio College in CA (Theory minor) and specifically trained as a Basso Profundo. Since leaving PTX, as others have said, he's done a lot of solo work, almost all of which is original. Here's a link to him performing his original "Chains", a piece that will show his range, released earlier this year: ruclips.net/video/_Ki0WeSRxvE/видео.html
There is really only one bass in the group typically, sort of. Tim is their bass and Avi is just standing in as a guest here. Tim, Home Free’s bass is known to go down as low as A0. He’s down to a G1 on this. Their beat boxer, Adam, is amazing (check out Adam Rupp drum solo on RUclips). Rounding out is Austin (tenor 1), Rob (tenor 2) and Chance (baritone/bass). Chance took over for Chris who’s seen in this video.
What a fun reaction!!! Loved it!! They are all so good individually as well as their tight tight tight harmony!! Hope you do more! For absolute earcandy, & to really appreciate their skill, check out their "Helplessly Hoping". Thx!!
Ken you said you always marvel at people can do nontraditional things with their voices; then checkout Home Free's Man of Constant Sorrow and be prepared to be blown away.
😀😄😁😃 I’m just saying that your reactions make me smile! I enjoy watching your reactions and it’s obvious the joy you get from hearing great talents. Thank you!
I see that you have several reactions to Home Free but no playlist for them. I would love to see more reactions to their music and a playlist devoted to your trip down the Home Free "rabbit hole." Thanks for your great reaction to this group.
Home Free created this rendition for a competition performance on The Sing Off, so you can see their live version there, absent Avi of course. Tim's final low note had the judges out of their chairs.
I just looked back at your list of reaction videos and I see no Pentatonix. You really should find something of their's to react to. I would recommend, Hallelujah or Bohemian Rhapsody, which has Avi Kaplan, the original bass, and Sound of Silence, which has their new bass, Matt Sallee, who took over for Avi, when he left for personal reasons.
I really think some of their original work is fantastic with Avi - like "Love Again" or "Sing" - but my favorites of their newer stuff is "Come Along" or "Deep End"

I subscribed to his channel just because of his comments like that!
I noticed his awesome exclamations. They are also one reason I subscribed.
Anyone know how low Tim's balls hang. Because I don't
adam "freak of nature" rupp is the beat boxer he does a live drum solo.
Tim can shake an entire arena with his low notes
And blow out sound systems
@@atomicsquid9836 agreed, even my $1,000 svs subwoofer was having trouble with it, but that might be because of the settings and the fact im still breaking it in lol.
Omg you need to check out adams drum solo! It will show you that he swallowed a drum set as a child. Haha
Absolutely, I was super impressed seeing them live, but I have always liked country music, gospel music, acapella groups and barbershop quartets.
My gf of the time was not as impressed :/ as I was
Please look up grand beatbox battles😂 if you like Adam you’ll love that, look up codfish or d-low
Man of Constant Sorrow, followed by their fun side - Butts Remix that will give you some rock, rap, and country.
I agree if he liked the beat boxing in this he'll love the harmonica in Man of Constant Sorrow!
Beatboxer is beyond awesome in Man of Constant Sorrow
Have you seen their cover of All About That Bass yet.
rap? where
@@N9TheNoob Baby Got Back?
Home Free's version of Man of Constant Sorrow is epic.
Also Voice Play's version of The Oogie Boogie Song has a subharmonic bass notes
Yes! Please!! Both of those
Yes if you like the beatboxer here check out Man of Constant Sorrow for a special surprise from him!
Definitely Man of constant sorrow!! After Tim (the bass) does his solo listen for him in the background (from beneath the basement lol).
Yes! Man of constant sorrow!!!! PLEASE!!

YESSSSSS
Omg YES!!!
Oh yesssssss.... Heavenly! The harmonics are so beautiful. And mercy!!! That last low note of Tim.... oooooffff.... 😳🥰💗💗💗
It was fun to see this reaction. The men of Home Free are:
Austin Brown - high tenor
Rob Lundquist - tenor, has beard
Chris Rupp - baritone, often wears a cowboy hat, brother to Adam, founder of group
Tim Foust - bass
Adam Rupp - beatboxer, occasionally sings baritone, brother of Chris, founder of group
In 2016, Chris left the group and a new baritone Adam Chance (goes by Chance to avoid confusion with Adam Rupp) was added. Chance can also sing bass which allows them more vocal freedom when Tim sings lead.

Amanda Porter same. I’m an atheist who listens to tons of gospel music. The emotion in it is great.
Robert Baldwin good music is good music 😄
What else is cool is that both Tim & Avi have such a WIDE RANGE
I LOVE the grin that Avi gives after that deep note!!
And I bet that beat boxer was the kid that teachers hated!! So many noises!!
I just realized that if I ever wanted to demolish my house, these guys can do it with their voices. The brick and mortar would vibrate until all is gone.
It is so fricking awesome!!!
Avi IS a Bass Profundo - Professionally trained. 😊
All of Home Free’s music is fantastic! Just make sure you really know the band before you listen to “Mayday”. Also check out their stuff from after 2016 since they had a lineup change. Chris Rupp left the group and Adam Chance took his place. A great example is their version of “Auld lang syne”.
We want more Home Free reactions from you. Get ready to be bombarded with requests from the Home Fries
Love Avi Kaplan. He's solo now and is absolutely amazing. Beautiful original work, beautiful voice!!
Please check him out.
,Check out their version of Ring of Fire when they won the show SING OFF, TIm Foust is the bass Adam Rupp is the beat box
I’m a bit late to this reaction. However, I must say… This has been my favorite reaction by you so far. To see the look of awe on your face. Priceless. ❤
Of a dozen or so "Reaction" videos by musicians nad vocal coaches, these comments were the most detailed and insightful across the waterfront.
Really enjoyed the reaction and commentary. Looking forward to more Home Free reactions.
About Home Free’s bass, Tim Foust, he actually started as a tenor and he’s found that by continuing to work on keeping his tenor range he’s been able to extend his bass range as well.
I have seen them twice in concert live --they are awesome
What a fantastic reaction to this song, and Tim Foust's earth-shaking bass! Please continue falling through the Home Free rabbit hole, How Great Thou Art and Auld Lang Syne are perfect displays of their buttery smooth harmonies!
Home Free are absolutely incredible amazing beautiful group!!!! It's always a immense and fantastic experience! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes !!! My favorite band !!
What a treat to have TWO basses on this song, eh? I am so glad you like this version by them. Yes that beat boxer is marvelous
Home free are lit, they have soooo many good songs to react to. Plz do another
Thank you for reacting to Home Free! 🎶😁🎵 This group has gotten me through the pandemic. You have barely scratched the surface of what these guys are capable of. There is so much more and you will never walk away not being uplifted. They love what they do and the energy delivered is well received❗️Loved your reaction & exclamations. 😁
I love those low resonant voices! So soothing!
Great reaction!😃
I really love the crystal clear high notes contrasted with the growly low bass. Soooooo pretty.
“Great balls of Barry White”! You’re so freaking adorable! This is when Chris was part of the group. Now we have Adam Chance and he is a baritone and the sound is much more rounded now!
Prior to joining Pentatonix, Avi was studying opera and is a basso profundo with an extended high range. However, I think Tim Foust has an even more extended range to the high end.
Tim and Geoff both have somewhat larger range than Avi, but for my money, it's still Avi...the tone, resonance and ability to really express emotion.
I like the tone of Avi and Tim. I think I lean a bit more towards Tim's tone. Geoff is cool.
@@michelle32855 Tim is B0-A5 avriel is E1-Eb5 Geoff is B0-A5
Love acapella. Also pentatonix and Voiceplay. Love Avi!
Should react to Home Frees cover of Man of Constant Sorrow
If you want to learn more about how they started, watch the Sing Off Season 4 with the intros and judges remarks.. they won the year after Pentatonix
Home Free's bass is Tim Foust who has a 5 octave range. He has said his voice didn't change until he was about 17 and he is now 39. Head down the rabbit hole that is Home Free and please react to "Mayday" where Tim will surprise you when he leads off that song. Tim has always said "Work on your high range and the low end will take care of itself". Tim is also a songwriter and has a solo album out titled "The Best That I Can Do". Welcome to the land of the Home Fries! You have a lot of work ahead of you.
His philosophy is similar to mine. I tend to believe that the low end will take care of itself, but I think that's easier for people who already have pretty low voices to begin with.
I saw them live, and Tim Foust, the basso profundo started a G0 growl for Your Man and really did come in as high tenor for Mayday
If you loved how low Avi Kaplan went, then look up more of his songs that he did. I get CHILLS when I listen to his bass.
Welcome to home free!! They have their own channel on RUclips with a ton of videos. Tim is the bass. Adam Rupp is the beatboxer. He has won world competitions in beatboxing. Check out man of constant sorrow or in the blood or can't fight the feeling
You REALLY need to listen to the group "Pentatonix" where Avi Kaplan started out. They are DYNAMIC.
Love the response, they are my favourite group and great guys, see them every time they come to Canada near me. Better in person. All sounds are made with the human voice. You should check out mayday now, the incredible bass you heard at the end, Tim Foust shows his range a little :). Subscribed.
Home free man of constant sorrow is a must!!
You said Basso Profondo with the Italian pronunciation and I'm veeeery happy! 😁🇮🇹 If you like Avi Kaplan's voice let me suggest you some of his originals: "Change on The Rise" - "It Knows Me" - "Chains" + the cover of "Lean On Me". Home Free's bass is Tim Foust and beatboxer Adam Rupp. All of these gentlemen are fantastic!
Great reaction.. you give such good info, too! Home Free's bass is Tim Foust.. he has a 5 octave range. We have seen them live 4 times now, and each time I find myself with my jaw dropped open for the entire first song.. they are so talented! They are just as good, if not better when you actually see them live.. the energy in the crowd is truly palpable. The last time we saw them was way down in NC where our daughter lives..She and her friend were in the row in front of us and i leaned forward to whisper something to her and almost landed in her lap when Tims bass echoed thru the venue. I have seen instances of him causing the plaster to fall from the ceiling and his bass notes breaking sound systems.. and he seems so nice, too! Thanks so much for your videos! Philly fry here..
NOTE = that at the end TIM FOUST - Bass at it's best ..... is so low, so clean, so bold and smooth EVEN ANOTHER GREAT BASS SINGER (Avi Kaplan) JUST SMILES AS HE SINGS BACKGROUND WHILE EYING TIM'S FINAL LOW NOTE ! Home Free !!!!!!
“great balls of Barry White!” 🤣🤣🤣
I think that was the funniest and yet most accurate exclamation ever! Haha
AVI!!!!!!!! He's my new favorite singer! Just such a beautiful tone, so rich and smooth 😊
I saw your recent Short from this video and had to come watch your whole reaction. You are so full of joy when discussing music. I love it 🙂❤️💯👍
Avi and his voice 😍
And Home Free......I mean.......no words
This is a reaction almost a year after this was posted so I'm sure you know by now that Home Free has five tenors and at least two basses. They are a deeply talented group. Thanks for the informative review.
Please please can you react to home free cover - Auld lang syne . It's absolute perfection
So glad you’re reacting to Home Free!
Tim Foust (Home Free's bass) has a 5 octave range - "Snow Globe" which he wrote, really shows it off. Home Free also has an outstanding version of "When A Man Loves A Woman" and the video "Mayday (Live") is amazing. Loved your reaction to the two basses. The beatboxer is Adam Rupp - he and his brother Chris (in the black cowboy hat) founded the band.
So glad you chose this one for your wonderful, as always, reaction :) Loved every minute of it, especially the moment you ask "where is the drumset" heh
High tenor Austin Brown
Lead Tenor Rob Lundquist
Baritone Adam Chance/Chris Rupp
5 octave range And Bass Tim Foust
Beat boxer Adam Rupp
Was nice to hear someone mention Maestro Terfel. The man is one of my musical heroes (as are Hvorostovsky, Pape, Moll, Ramey, and the Russian Oktavist; Vlad Miller). Loved your reaction at Tim Foust hitting that G1 at the end!
The beatboxer is Adam Rupp you need to watch Adam Rupp drum solo..he will make you a believer! Loved the harmonies and beatboxing! Avi and Tim were amazing! Notice how Tim held that last low note for about 10 seconds? Great reaction 🎉 I love Home Free😊
Loved your reaction. It’s ok to have never heard of them. I just discovered them this year too. They are tremendous. Tim Foust is the incredible bass you were hearing at the end. He hit a G1 and held it for 13 seconds I believe. On their live version of this song on the Sing Off show Tim hit a F1. Their harmonies are superb in everything they do. How Great Thou Art, Auld Lang Syne, Helplessly Hoping are all incredible. But they do a lot of country and I’m not even a great fan of country but I love them. I love Country Roads, the John Denver cover, it’s beautiful. Enjoy!
You hit the nail on the head with "Basso Profundo". Before being recruited into Pentatonix when he was about 21, Avi was an opera major at Mt. San Antonio College in CA (Theory minor) and specifically trained as a Basso Profundo. Since leaving PTX, as others have said, he's done a lot of solo work, almost all of which is original. Here's a link to him performing his original "Chains", a piece that will show his range, released earlier this year: ruclips.net/video/_Ki0WeSRxvE/видео.html
Man of constant sorrow is a must
You had me at "great balls of Barry White" lol subscribed!
Check out more of that smooth Avi Kaplan voice ~~ He has an amazing lineup of original songs!!
I truly truly love your reaction. Thank you
Tim Foust did a pair up with Peter Hollins on Misty Mountains. I know you just watched Peter's solo on it, but Tim brings so much to it!
Satisfying is the perfect articulation for the opening...
There is really only one bass in the group typically, sort of. Tim is their bass and Avi is just standing in as a guest here. Tim, Home Free’s bass is known to go down as low as A0. He’s down to a G1 on this. Their beat boxer, Adam, is amazing (check out Adam Rupp drum solo on RUclips). Rounding out is Austin (tenor 1), Rob (tenor 2) and Chance (baritone/bass). Chance took over for Chris who’s seen in this video.
What a fun reaction!!! Loved it!!
They are all so good individually as well as their tight tight tight harmony!! Hope you do more! For absolute earcandy, & to really appreciate their skill, check out their "Helplessly Hoping". Thx!!
They are JUST like this live. The beatboxer does a 9-10 minute drum solo in concert. Going to see them again in December in Dallas.
Ken you said you always marvel at people can do nontraditional things with their voices; then checkout Home Free's Man of Constant Sorrow and be prepared to be blown away.
Truly amazing video I have loved home free since they started and I am a bass singer so I freaking love both of those bass singers!!
😀😄😁😃 I’m just saying that your reactions make me smile! I enjoy watching your reactions and it’s obvious the joy you get from hearing great talents. Thank you!
New sub... Home Free is amazing and I can't wait to hear you react to more from them!!
Welcome to the world of Home Free. I love their version of Helplessly Hoping.
Tim Foust Home Free's bass has actually blown out subwoofers on stage.
This song is just INSANELY fun :) I was smiling and laughing the entire time.
I see that you have several reactions to Home Free but no playlist for them. I would love to see more reactions to their music and a playlist devoted to your trip down the Home Free "rabbit hole." Thanks for your great reaction to this group.
Home Free created this rendition for a competition performance on The Sing Off, so you can see their live version there, absent Avi of course. Tim's final low note had the judges out of their chairs.
ONE OF MY FAVS esp Avi, also PTX & angelina jordan
I just looked back at your list of reaction videos and I see no Pentatonix. You really should find something of their's to react to. I would recommend, Hallelujah or Bohemian Rhapsody, which has Avi Kaplan, the original bass, and Sound of Silence, which has their new bass, Matt Sallee, who took over for Avi, when he left for personal reasons.
I really think some of their original work is fantastic with Avi - like "Love Again" or "Sing" - but my favorites of their newer stuff is "Come Along" or "Deep End"
I'm so glad you've experienced Avi!
you definitely need to watch more Home Free, there excellent
