Loved your expression when Tim went profundo deep, he can go deeper and still keep his voice clear as a bell. Listening to Home Free is like coming home. No matter what genre they're signing, whether it's comedy, heart-breakingly serious or something in between, they make you feel wrapped up in that blanket of feel-good feelings. Thank you for the joy!
The vest wearing guy is Adam Chance ... known as Chance! He made the mouth harp sound at the beginning and end! The other Adam ... Rupp (pronounced as up with an r in front!) Love these guys!!! If you like the "harmonica" sound, check out Ain't Goin' Down Til the Sun Comes Up!
Great reaction! And us Home Fries totally understand that Tim in your soul feeling. Many reactors have had Home Free crushes on each member in different videos. Because they are so very talented and easy on the eyes too! They are the best! The 5th guy in this video was the newer member Adam Chance aka Chance. Please, please please more Home Free! Check out Love Train, Listen to the Music, When a Man loves a Woman, understand or any song in their vast catalog of great music. Never heard a bad song from these guys! And Adam Rupp( the beatboxer/ vocal percussionist is a phenomenal talent. Thank you for your reaction! Have a blessed day!
That sound is Adam Rupp's patented "no-monica", i.e. a voiced harmonica. The opening sounds mimicking a Jaw harp are made by Adam Chance, aka Chance in this group to leave "Adam" for the original member.
This song blew me away when I first heard it & I was completely hooked. These guys are all so talented. They lean towards country but they can do any genre. They all can take the lead depending on whos voice is best for the song. They are known for their tight harmonies. Tim Foust is one of the best bass singers out there & their beatboxer vocal percussionist Adam Rupp can simulate any sound. This song is very old & is done in the bluegrass country style. It was used in the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" starring George Clooney.
The sound you are referring to is often called a mouth harp, I was brought up calling it a Jew's harp. The person whose name you don't know is making the noise in his throat, and his name is Adam Chance, called Chance so not to mix him up with Adam Rupp. Great reaction.
Actually, it is Austin's voice that one of the 3 judges mentioned in the acapella Sing Off Show/Contest that they participated in, 2013...I love the youtube that is 'Home Free Sing Off All performances and judges remarks" I was delighted to hear and see your appreciation, detail, of your experience here. This song was the first time I heard Home Free, and just keep coming back to this song, and the Sing Off, and hilarious take-off on "I'm All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor. We also get to see the Bloopers/Outakes/rehearsals of Home Free creating this "Bass" song. Oh, Rob does sing the lead on one of the Sing Off songs, beautifully. And Tim on Ring of Fire.... Yowza! I've heard they have over 100 videos, so delightful, and, as always, tight !
If you want to hear a great song that shows off Tim's bass voice, then I highly recommend watching "Misty Mountain". It has Peter Hollens featuring Tim Foust, you won't be sorry I promise. 🍟❤️
Tim isn't just a great bass, he also has an incredible range into the upper registers, I can't remember the song but he goes through the song with bass and up into tenor. All 6 (counting the first singer who left) are unquestionable masters at their craft, and they coordinate so well it's kind of scary. They deserve the praise they get.
The baritone and sometimes bass that you didn't know is Adam Chance - goes by Chance. And speaking of Adams, you just witnessed Adam Rupp's insane "nomonica". Crazy huh? If you really want to see/hear Rob shine, check out "End of the Road'. or "Take Me Home Country Roads". You'll be impressed by both I'm sure. Loving your reactions and looking forward to more. 🍟
The Mouth Harp sound you commented on was being done by Adam "Chance". Adam Rupp is a Worldclass Beatboxer, but they all can do some beatboxing and Rob Lundquist is an extraordinary whistler as well when the song calls for it.
@@gk5891 The "nomonica" is indeed done by the beatboxer, Adam Rupp. It is a harmonica sound made without a harmonica. Probably you are talking about the jaw harp sound, that is also heard at the beginning of the video, before the singing starts. This is indeed made by Adam Chance. I guess, the confusion comes from the fact, that the term "Mouth Harp" is sometimes used for two different instruments, that are both imitated in this performance: The Harmonica (Adam Rupp) and the Jaw Harp (Adam Chance).
@fsboss I was indeed referring to the instrument also known as the Jaw Harp as opposed to the Harmonica. The name I grew up using is no longer considered politically correct and I didn't want to offend anyone. In retrospect I can see how "you" was a poor choice of wording. I had intended it for the reactor as a point of additional information, not a correction of the original poster.
"One big whole vocal". Perfect explanation. They use layering. Live, Adam uses a looper on SOME arraignments (like this one). Chance was doing the sound at the beginning and end but, I believe, he has said it hurts to keep it up so Adam samples it live and then loops it. His drum beat also needs sampling so he can do the no-monica. Then again, live, Austin does some no-monica work as well.
For a great look at Tim 's talent , please watch his video with Peter Hollens , Misty Mountains , its amazing . There are so many great Home Free choices also : End of the Road, when a man loves a woman, and champange tastes on a beer budget (written by Tim ) too many to list .
To hear more of Rob try Blue Ain't Your Color and/or End of the Road. Then listen to Two country singers try singing opera..Nessum Dorma. It's on Austin Brown's YT channel.
They are all super talented……they literally have 4 tenors, 5 beatboxers (including Adam who is 2 time world champion beatboxer), 2 low low basses, and everyone takes turns at the lead. There isn’t any song they can’t sing! They cover all genres! Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. There’s no turning back now and there are lots of song to choose from! And they continue to release new albums, songs and videos every month! Keep on reacting to Home Free.
Home Free is incredible. Everything they do is great. And although they are a Country A-cappela group, they can really sing all genres. They really all have great voices with their own specialties. Even Adam Rupp who started the group with his brother Chris Rupp. Chris left the group in 2016 to go solo but also to start other projects with his sister, among others. Adam Rupp-Beatboxer but is actually an inhuman freaking good mouth artist. Tim Foust- Deep bass but also as a tenor and everything in between is possible. Austin Brown-High tenor with his great runs and high notes. Rob Lundquist (beard and glasses)-Tenor, with a voice like velvet and so much soul. Adam Chance (back left, who is called Chance) - Baritone/ Bass, a voice so smooth and sexy. And who here also makes the Jaw harp sound. There is no lead singer in Home Free. They look at every song whose voice suits it best, the best harmony, no egos, no rivalries, great personalities etc. Besides, they can all beatbox (see their live performance 9to5). .. This is one of the many covers they do in addition to various originals, and each one is just amazing. Take the time to discover Home Free because it will be a great tour. For me they are number 1 A-Cappella group I'm a Home Fry from the Netherlands.
This song is a cover, it's probably best known recently from the soundtrack of the 2000 film "O Brother Where Art Thou" but the song has been around a long time. IMO it's one of Home Free's best. And as others have said already, that unusual twang you hear more prominently at the beginning and end is an impression of a jaw harp done by Adam Chance, the one guy you didn't recognize from the video. Best wishes with your channel.
The song was written in the early 1900s. You might have heard in a movie - Oh brother where art thou. When Tim finished his solo, he dropped an octave!
You had me laughing about Tim. Yeah he does that to us ladies too. Unfortunately during Covid Tim couldn’t get to the hairdresser and gray hair was coming in and he didn’t want long gray hair so he cut his hair short and let the gray show. I’m ok with it but I loved his long hair. Now Austin (redhead) has really long hair right now. Rob has the glasses. Adam is the beatboxer. Chance is the new guy. He took over for Chris Rupp, Adam’s brother, who quit the band in 2016 to go solo and Chance took his place. Chance is wonderful. They all are and yes Adam Rupp is a freak of nature! Good reaction. Chance (last one in video) was doing the mouth harp sound. So cool!😍
Wrong, a mouth harp....but common mistake....a didgeridoo has a low rumbling sound....see Adam Rupp's drum solo (the noise he introduces as being deep in the Southern Outback)
Great reaction and glad to see you smile over their talents! Adam is a beatboxer wonder and Tim, well what can you say about that low voice? My crushes on these guys change depending on which song I'm listening to. New sub for more Home Free please!
The 5th guy, the one who often gets forgotten, is the one who opens and closes this song with the juice harp/throat singing sound. His name is Adam Chance. He also does other instrument sounds. Check out Can't Stop the Feeling by Home Free. He sang bass for his previous vocal group. Check out Mayday by Home Free. Cihance does a lot of solo work. Check out his cover of Wayfaring Stranger which he recorded with the Fox and the Hound.
Tim has a 5-octave range. They are all so very talented. Adam with his beat boxing is insane. They lovingly call him the Freak of Nature. Love your reaction!
You really need to listen to their Sea Shanty Medley. You just heard Adam's "nomonica" that he learned by imitating Cartman. You were also hearing Chance doing the jawharp. Tim has a 5+ octave range with no voice strain. You like low notes? Hit up their version of Brothers in Arms.
If you love the beatboxing your should check out their cover of Listen to the Music. End of the Road is a great Rob Lead. To hear Chance then Cover Me Up. Austin kills it in When a Man Loves a Woman. Time is great in anything pretty much.
Home Free is the best--period. It's easy to forget they are completely acapella and make all "instrumental" sounds themselves. In this song they are making a distinct southern (country blues) presentation--it definitely fits the lyrics of the song. Chance doing the jaw harp sound really sets the stage for this song's story, which Austin's twang fits phenomenally. Tim's bass line completely grounds the harmonies and Adam's voice percussion simply cannot be beat. This performance highlights a lot of Home Free's strengths although they also handle ANY other genre just as amazingly❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️ Some of my favorites are "Working for a Living", "Good 'Ol Country Harmony", "Land of the Free", "Remember This", "Elvira" (with the Oak Ridge Boys), "Undivided", "Ain't Goin' Down 'Til the Sun Comes Up" (which is not on YT--it's on their official Facebook page), "Listen to the Music", "What's Left of My Heart", "Understand", and "Road Sweet Road" 😍!
How does Adam do that? Practice, practice, practice. Try their cover of the Doobie Brothers- classic Losten to the Music. Adam's percussion is fabulous.
Chance is the newer guy, he's a baritone/bass. He's been in the group since 2016 so earlier than that you will see will the founder Chris Rupp the beatboxer Adam Rupp's brother, they made the group in High school or college.
You’re not the only one to feel some type of way around Tim! And he’s the nicest guy with a killer sense of humor. You should check his blogs on his page. Southerner in the Snow is a riot!
Adam on the "Sea Shanty" is using some great sounds that is worth the listen. But the bonus is, you get to hear Chance do solos that I just love. Well, it is a testosterone blast as well.
That dude is called a no -Monica that Adam is doing. Adam got that good because hes been practicing developing his talent since 2001 when him and his brother Chris started this group. You need to check out their video of working for a living Her Adam shows off morbid's nomanica sound and also if you pull up their Facebook page do their video of Ain't gone down till sun comes up! New shop here for more home free.
Great reaction! That first sound coming in & the last sound going out are Chance imitating a jaw harp! Adam can imitate pretty much anything he wants to! Tim even goes an octave lower after his solo when the others come back in! A lot of reactors miss that! It's unbelievable! These guys are THE BEST a cappella group... PERIOD! 🤗&😘from SE Tennessee!😊
~~ Left to right ~~ -- Rob Lundquist 2nd tenor,/baritone (from Minnesota) -- Adam Chance "Chance" baritone/bass, (from Alabama now California) -- Austin Brown lead tenor, (from Georgia now Tennessee) -- Adam Rupp beatboxer/tenor (4 octaves) (from Minnesota) -- Tim Foust 5 octaves, (from Texas now Tennessee) So let's recall the collective abilities of Home Free. -- 5 lead singers -- 5 tenors -- 4 baritones -- 2 bass -- 1 basso profundo -- 5 beat boxers/vocal percussionists -- 1 EXCEPTIONAL beatboxer/drum kit/ vocal percussionist -- 5 guys proficient for various genres: (Pop/Country/R&B/Rock/Gospel/Rap/Blues/Musical theater/Comedy/Holiday/Doo Wop/AND NOW Opera..Opera!!/dancers-in- training 😉 )
And...another one falls down the rabbit hole. You are so fucking doomed. We'll save you a chair. You're about to be buried in Home Fries. Home Free is the only country a capella group out there, but they can - and do - sing every genre. And they have no lead singer. Every one of these men can take the lead, and they pick the lead for each song by who does it the most justice. During quarantine, they kept all us Home Fries sane by dropping new videos every couple of weeks. God bless ‘em. All the men can beat box, but Adam is in a league of his own. He's a world-class vocal percussionist and there're good reasons he's called a "Freak of Nature" and “the man who swallowed a drum kit.” For more of Adam's incredible beat boxing, check out Sea Shanty medley (the man makes castanets, for Pete's sake), his no-monica solo on Working For A Living and Ain't Going Down Til The Sun Comes Up (that video is on Facebook), and his drum solos. For more of Tim's seismic basso profundo, listen to Brothers In Arms, Misty Mountains (his collaboration with Peter Hollens), Folsom Prison Blues, or Ring Of Fire (the Sing Off version). For Chance's smooth baritone, check out Down to the Honky Tonk, Brothers In Arms, and Folsom Prison Blues. (Awesome.. basso profundo and a baritone/bass in the same group.) FYI, Chance is singing (throat singing) the jaw harp sounds - without the jaw harp - in Man Of Constant Sorrow. For Rob's soulful tenor, check out End of the Road, Blue Ain't Your Color, or Bless The Broken Road. (Blue-eyed soul is in good hands with The Beard.) For Austin's soaring power tenor, check out Crazy, Moonshine, When A Man Loves a Woman, or Bring Him Home. (But bolt down your chair ‘cause he'll sing you right out of it.) For their humor, check out Butts Remix, Working For A Living, Between A Rock And A Heartache, Make You Feel My Love, Brother, and Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget. For their amazing arrangement skills, check out Do You Hear What I Hear. (Adam's arrangement. Nothing else like it.) For their tight harmonies, check out Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art, Brothers In Arms, or Auld Lang Syne. For their mashups, check out Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On, Fishing in the Dark/Boondocks, Country Fried Pop, or Woman, Amen/Female. For more of their wonderful collaborations, check out God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood, American Pie with Don McLean, Elvira with The Oak Ridge Boys, Children Go Where I Send Thee with the late Kenny Rogers, Don’t Laugh At Me with Mark Wills, Christmas In Dixie with Alabama, or Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For with Peter Hollens. Get at least five videos under your belt and then listen to Mayday - the official video. After Mayday, you'll be ready for Tim and Austin doing My Maria or Tim's mashup of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. Then, when you come up for air, check out Rob and Austin singing Nessun Dorma. You'll need smelling salts after that one. Don't miss their official videos. The Home Free men will often do a straight, gorgeous vocal performance, but they'll add elements of humor to the video that will leave you chuckling or even laughing out loud. (Folsom Prison Blues, Between A Rock And A Heartache, Make You Feel My Love, Working For A Living, Brother). Their synergy is phenomenal. Each is an artist in his own right, but man - when they sing together, magic happens. Wicked talent polished by decades of hard work. (Unchained Melody, Castle On The Hill, Seven Bridges Road) To paraphrase another Home Fry, “They don't just own a cover, they upgrade it.” You are doomed, Home Fry. Bring ketchup.
Tylr Tim has been known to go into a restaurant and order food, and with hearing distance all the women stop eating and look for that voice & right in front of husbands & boyfriends....this song is very very old...originally written down in 1913 but not recorded until around 1928. It was featured in the George Clooney movie "O Brother Where art thou?.....it's been covered by dozens of artists most famously by Bob Dylan in 1969/1970. The gent you had a hard time with his name, that is Chance (full name is Adam Chance Ray) and yes he replaced the bands founder Chris Rupp in May of 2016 when Chris left to pursue a solo career.....
The song was originally written in the early 1900s and later covered by loads of people, including Bob Dylan. I never saw the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" but the Soggy Bottom Boys sang it in that movie. It's so easy to forget that it's entirely acapella. The lead singer on this (Austin Brown) is from Georgia; the bass (Tim Foust) is from Texas; the man in the back is from Alabama. The remaining band members - the beatboxer (Adam Rupp) and lead tenor (beard and glasses) are both from Minnesota. I'd highly recommend watching "When A Man Loves A Woman" next. Fall down the rabbit hole - it's a loong trip and a fun one!
If you want to see more of Adam's abilities, you ought to see his drum solo video. Also the Christmas carol, Do You Hear What I Hear, shows a wide spectrum of his sound effects. Adam also did the arrangement. Other songs displaying his talents Listen to the Music and Ain't Going Home Until the Sun Goes Down. Adam also sings tenor when he's not beat boxing. Songs featuring Robb are End of the Road and Blue Ain't Your Color. He also sings the operatic aria, Nessum Dorma, with Austin. Songs featuring Adam Chance are Brother, Some Girls Do, snd Castle on the Hill,. Austin is featured in When a Man Loves a Woman and Listen to the Music. Tim has a five octave range. He has an album, Pieces of Me, which is do wah with him singing all the parts . He can sing all the parts of those old classics that were sung by a whole group.. Tim and Austin sing My Maria where Tim sings the higher part instead of Austin. Tim is known to have blown quite a few speakers in live performances with his bass.. Concert goers say they can feel his bass go through them even at the back of the auditorium. There is no lead singer in Home Free. The person leads who is best suited for the song. In terms of their harmonies, you haven't heard anything yet. Try Hopelessly, Hoping , Brothers in Arms, How Great Thou Art.
The guy you were missing is Adam Chance, called Chance to save confusion. the original guy was Chris Rupp, Adam's brother, they started the band back in college. After a few line up changes, they got Tim and Rob and Austin stalked them on a cruise ship when singing with another group until they took him on. With Chris, they won the sing off series the year after Pentatonix, the same year that Voiceplay were on too. The song is a very old one, it was used in the movie, O Brother, Where art Thou.
You'll see Adam Rupp's brother Chris in their early songs (Ring of Fire, Do You Hear What I Hear, Country Fried Pop). The brothers Rupp started the group, then Chris left to do his own thing and Chance (back left doing the voice harp) came in. Chance adds the beautiful Baritone to the group they needed to balance their sound.
This song originally came out in the early 1900's but was made well known in the movie "O Brother where art thou" with George Clooney. The last one is Adam Chance whom simply goes by Chance. Adam Rupp and his brother Chris originally put the group together but Chris moved on and Chance came in. Chance is the one who does the jaw harp. Chance can also do baritone but not quite as low as Tim.
Tyler if you want to hear Rob as lead watch the cover of the end of the road and if you want to hear them sing as though it is 1 voice watch the cover of helplessly hoping! Both are simply amazing!
Don't let Tim fool you he is an amazing bass but he has a 5 octive range. He can sing very high also. Adam has won many awards. Austin can go extremely high. Rob can also rap plus just has beautiful tone. Chance is a baritone but he has a good range too.
Adam Chance is the "new guy" who goes by Chance to avoid any confusion of the two Adams. He was making the noise at the beginning that made the sound of a Jaw Harp. He is also a bass and sings the low parts when Tim sings the higher parts.
When you listen to it again pay attention to Tim's part immediately after his solo -- he drops almost an octave below his solo in the bass part immediately following.
Hey TY, listen closely to the line immediately following the two lines of Tim's bass solo, he drops down a full octave just as easily & clear as can be. Great reaction.
Home Free was first formed in 2000-2001, Chris Rupp, Adam Rupp, and Matt Atwood were the founders. Since Adam didn't have formal vocal training (his music degree and specialty was trumpet), he decided to learn to beatbox. He taught himself with videos and by learning from other beatboxers to develop his own sound. You should really look up some of his solos, he does one every show so there is a lot to choose from on RUclips. Start with an early one (the 2015 one is very popular), then look up a more recent one to see how he has improved and added so much more to his solos.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbithole. As you become better acquainted with the vocal abilities of each of the guys you'll note how unique they are. They are so skilled at balancing out their harmonies what you hear can be deceiving. Might want to check out their version of 'Helplessly Hoping.' At times, their voices and breathing are so in sync it's difficult to tell how many are singing, if you're not watching. Adam also adds his sweet tenor in this for the 5-part harmony. You've experienced Tim at his lower end. During their recent Holiday tour, Austin missed a few performances due to illness, and Tim filled in for some of his parts. They are all not only talented but very versatile. You've surely received numerous recommendations for additional HF vids. If there's a particular type of song, genre, lead vocal, etc you'd like to see from these guys, just ask. We'll try to cater suggestions accordingly.
What you hear at the start and the end of the song, is the sound of an Australian digeridoo. The indigenous people use that. Look it up to see how they make it. Ever see Crocodile Dundee? ANY musical instrument you hear is done mostly by the beatboxer, but also others in the group. To see the digeridoo sound guy, he's leaning against a porch post as the song ends. Very subtle.
The group was started by Adam Rupp, his brother Chris, and one other gentleman. The first few albums featured Chris Rupp as the 5th member, but he left to do some solo stuff and other projects. The gentleman who took his place was Adam Chance (goes by chance). He is the one in the back left. He is a baritone, but can do some crazy bass and covers for Tim when he is singing leads, and he also has a great lead voice as well. If you wanna see Chance lead, listen to "Some Girls Do". Hope that helps.
Re Tim's locks: he cut them off a couple of years ago, and let it go silver. If anything, he looks even better. (He's 43 or 44, I believe, oldest of the group.) Re the song: people often know it from the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou" with George Clooney, but the composer is unknown. It was first recorded around 1913.
Chance (Adam Chance) is the baritone in the dark vest. He covers bass when Tim goes on a lead and he did the jaw harp sound using something like harmonic overtone (a.k.a. Tibetan Throat) singing. I think he did a short section and then they looped it throughout the song on a separate layer. It's apparently hard on the voice for long periods.
They actually have very different voices, but they still fit very well together. If yo want to hear more harmonies and wallow at the same time in the arms of Tims bass, check out Brothers in Arms. If you are in the mood for beautiful 5 part harmony but hear more of Chance (the guy doing the overtones in this one) check out Helplessly Hoping. If you want to hear more with Rob, check out End of the Road
They guy that left is Adams brother and they started Homefree together. In my opinion Chase's voice fits much better with the group. They are amazing! You just need to react to Nessum Dorma, a classical piece that Rob and Austin does together. It will give you another deapth of Rob's talent!!!!!
If you want to hear Rob at his best, he and Austin did Nessun Dorma. You won't ever see Rob the same after hearing him belt out those rich tenor operatic notes. Austin also does great as always with a crossover style, but Rob... Yeah... that good!
Wait until you hear how high Tim can go in Ring of Fire!!! Then, even higher in his cover of Will You Still Love Me/Stay. Rob will blow you away in his recent duet with Austin, "Two Country Singers Try to Sing Opera, Nessum Dorma"!!! Then Austin slam-dunks When a Man Loves a Woman.
There are two Adam’s, Rupp who is the beat boxer, and Adam Chance who is the other guy he sings baritone and bass. Since there are two Adam’s, everyone calls the other baritone guy Chance. That first sound was of a Jews Harp/ Mouth Harp. Then Adam comes in with the harmonica.
These guys are so amazing. Adam has won World Championships in beat boxing. They are also extremely funny. They have some very funny videos. Like the Butt's Remix, Brother, All about that bass. They are very close to each other and no egos.
The guy you couldn't identify in the back is Chance. He is the newer member group and does a lot of backup vocals and beats with Adam. He is also a Baritone and can go as low as Tim but not as high.
Hey there Tyler. That sound you hear in the intro and at the end... in fact, all through the video, is the guy in the back on the left doing a 'juice harp' sound vocally. Some have said that it is a didgeridoo, which is an Australian instrument. This is incorrect, as he is doing a juice harp, a simple instrument used in country and western music. And, yes... the harmonica sounds surprised me as well when I first heard this song.
Adam Chance is the other member whose name escaped you, and he is the one who replaced Chris Rupp, the brother of Adam Rupp, and one of the original funders of, Home Free! Chance, as he's often referred to, is the baritone, and sometimes sings bass, when Tim sings in one of his other five range octaves!
Loved the reaction, song is from the movie Brother Where Art Thou, here are some suggestions for you. Listen to the Music, When a Man Loves a Woman, Butts Remix/Medley, Brother
Good reaction, but it's an American Alligator, not a croc. 😀 They're all insanely talented. Want bass? Hillbilly Bone and Brothers In Arms. Go to Peter Hollens' YT for him and Tim singing Misty Mountains. (Peter is the master of vocal layering.) Rob? Brother, Blue Ain't Your Color, and Country Roads. Nessun Dorma on Austin Brown's YT. Austin? When A Man Loves A Woman, Listen To The Music, and Bring Him Home (on Austin's YT). Another great one features most of them is Sea Shanty Medley. Mayday is a must-hear, but only after you are familiar with each member and his vocal role.
Loved your expression when Tim went profundo deep, he can go deeper and still keep his voice clear as a bell. Listening to Home Free is like coming home. No matter what genre they're signing, whether it's comedy, heart-breakingly serious or something in between, they make you feel wrapped up in that blanket of feel-good feelings. Thank you for the joy!
The vest wearing guy is Adam Chance ... known as Chance! He made the mouth harp sound at the beginning and end! The other Adam ... Rupp (pronounced as up with an r in front!) Love these guys!!! If you like the "harmonica" sound, check out Ain't Goin' Down Til the Sun Comes Up!
Great reaction! And us Home Fries totally understand that Tim in your soul feeling. Many reactors have had Home Free crushes on each member in different videos. Because they are so very talented and easy on the eyes too! They are the best! The 5th guy in this video was the newer member Adam Chance aka Chance. Please, please please more Home Free! Check out Love Train, Listen to the Music, When a Man loves a Woman, understand or any song in their vast catalog of great music. Never heard a bad song from these guys! And Adam Rupp( the beatboxer/ vocal percussionist is a phenomenal talent. Thank you for your reaction! Have a blessed day!
For a Rob solo check out "Two country singers try to sing opera" Nessum Dorma with Austin and Rob
That sound is Adam Rupp's patented "no-monica", i.e. a voiced harmonica. The opening sounds mimicking a Jaw harp are made by Adam Chance, aka Chance in this group to leave "Adam" for the original member.
This song blew me away when I first heard it & I was completely hooked. These guys are all so talented. They lean towards country but they can do any genre. They all can take the lead depending on whos voice is best for the song. They are known for their tight harmonies. Tim Foust is one of the best bass singers out there & their beatboxer vocal percussionist Adam Rupp can simulate any sound. This song is very old & is done in the bluegrass country style. It was used in the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" starring George Clooney.
The sound you are referring to is often called a mouth harp, I was brought up calling it a Jew's harp. The person whose name you don't know is making the noise in his throat, and his name is Adam Chance, called Chance so not to mix him up with Adam Rupp. Great reaction.
I love these guys so much. They're so talented. I literally had their album "Dive Bar Saints" on repeat for weeks.
We ALL love Robs voice, it's been described as being smooth as butter.
Actually, it is Austin's voice that one of the 3 judges mentioned in the acapella Sing Off Show/Contest that they participated in, 2013...I love the youtube that is 'Home Free Sing Off All performances and judges remarks" I was delighted to hear and see your appreciation, detail, of your experience here. This song was the first time I heard Home Free, and just keep coming back to this song, and the Sing Off, and hilarious take-off on "I'm All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor. We also get to see the Bloopers/Outakes/rehearsals of Home Free creating this "Bass" song. Oh, Rob does sing the lead on one of the Sing Off songs, beautifully. And Tim on Ring of Fire.... Yowza! I've heard they have over 100 videos, so delightful, and, as always, tight !
You aren’t the first male reactor to have a “Man Crush” on Tim!! 😂
Not by far. Its ok, we allllll understand! 😉😅😍
@@momD612 Yes we do. 🤣
@@momD612 Not me saying "If I was a Woman".
It must be something about that bass rumble. Geoff Castellucci has that effect on people too.
Home Fries refer to this phenomenon as a "Timgasm".
You need to listen to Brothers in Arms if you want to hear more of Tim’s deep voice!❤
If you want to hear a great song that shows off Tim's bass voice, then I highly recommend watching "Misty Mountain". It has Peter Hollens featuring Tim Foust, you won't be sorry I promise. 🍟❤️
Then follow that up with Tim Foust - "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Stay" and you will be absolutely amazed.
Both excellent songs
Tim isn't just a great bass, he also has an incredible range into the upper registers, I can't remember the song but he goes through the song with bass and up into tenor. All 6 (counting the first singer who left) are unquestionable masters at their craft, and they coordinate so well it's kind of scary. They deserve the praise they get.
Another song that highlights Tim's beautiful bass is "Blue Ain't Your Color".
You have barely scratched the surface of what these guys are capable of....
I love it when people don't know what a mouth harp sounds like. Welcome to the deep South my friend!
Wait until you know all of them before you listen to Mayday. Maybe do End of The Road next. Rob takes lead and knocks it out of the park.
Tim has solo music and his latest solo album is "Pieces of Me".
The baritone and sometimes bass that you didn't know is Adam Chance - goes by Chance. And speaking of Adams, you just witnessed Adam Rupp's insane "nomonica". Crazy huh? If you really want to see/hear Rob shine, check out "End of the Road'. or "Take Me Home Country Roads". You'll be impressed by both I'm sure. Loving your reactions and looking forward to more.
🍟
The Mouth Harp sound you commented on was being done by Adam "Chance". Adam Rupp is a Worldclass Beatboxer, but they all can do some beatboxing and Rob Lundquist is an extraordinary whistler as well when the song calls for it.
@@gk5891 The "nomonica" is indeed done by the beatboxer, Adam Rupp. It is a harmonica sound made without a harmonica.
Probably you are talking about the jaw harp sound, that is also heard at the beginning of the video, before the singing starts. This is indeed made by Adam Chance.
I guess, the confusion comes from the fact, that the term "Mouth Harp" is sometimes used for two different instruments, that are both imitated in this performance: The Harmonica (Adam Rupp) and the Jaw Harp (Adam Chance).
@fsboss I was indeed referring to the instrument also known as the Jaw Harp as opposed to the Harmonica. The name I grew up using is no longer considered politically correct and I didn't want to offend anyone.
In retrospect I can see how "you" was a poor choice of wording. I had intended it for the reactor as a point of additional information, not a correction of the original poster.
"One big whole vocal". Perfect explanation.
They use layering. Live, Adam uses a looper on SOME arraignments (like this one). Chance was doing the sound at the beginning and end but, I believe, he has said it hurts to keep it up so Adam samples it live and then loops it. His drum beat also needs sampling so he can do the no-monica. Then again, live, Austin does some no-monica work as well.
For a great look at Tim 's talent , please watch his video with Peter Hollens , Misty Mountains , its amazing . There are so many great Home Free choices also : End of the Road, when a man loves a woman, and champange tastes on a beer budget (written by Tim ) too many to list .
If you want a song with Adam going all out with the no-monica. Check out their cover of 'Ain't Going Down (Till the Sun Comes Up).
Only on their Facebook page
Love Home Free !! You should check out their covers of Heaven, Some Girls Do or Can't Out Run You to Hear Chance's Amazing Voice
You should listen to their collaboration with the Oakridge Boys for the song Elvira. Tim and the other groups bass really stand out.
To hear more of Rob try Blue Ain't Your Color and/or End of the Road. Then listen to Two country singers try singing opera..Nessum Dorma. It's on Austin Brown's YT channel.
I second this!
They are all super talented……they literally have 4 tenors, 5 beatboxers (including Adam who is 2 time world champion beatboxer), 2 low low basses, and everyone takes turns at the lead. There isn’t any song they can’t sing! They cover all genres! Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. There’s no turning back now and there are lots of song to choose from! And they continue to release new albums, songs and videos every month! Keep on reacting to Home Free.
The "Home Free" playlist is C R A Z Y! They sing every genre of music. Country to pop to folk to opera, just wow. All of it great!
Although Tim has cut his long hair, he has now become a silver fox with both male and female admirers. That voice reaches into your heart and soul.
Great reaction and if you want to hear Rob you should check out their cover of "End of the Road" by Boyz 2 Men.
Home Free is incredible. Everything they do is great. And although they are a Country A-cappela group, they can really sing all genres. They really all have great voices with their own specialties. Even Adam Rupp who started the group with his brother Chris Rupp. Chris left the group in 2016 to go solo but also to start other projects with his sister, among others.
Adam Rupp-Beatboxer but is actually an inhuman freaking good mouth artist.
Tim Foust- Deep bass but also as a tenor and everything in between is possible.
Austin Brown-High tenor with his great runs and high notes.
Rob Lundquist (beard and glasses)-Tenor, with a voice like velvet and so much soul.
Adam Chance (back left, who is called Chance) - Baritone/ Bass, a voice so smooth and sexy. And who here also makes the Jaw harp sound.
There is no lead singer in Home Free. They look at every song whose voice suits it best, the best harmony, no egos, no rivalries, great personalities etc. Besides, they can all beatbox (see their live performance 9to5). ..
This is one of the many covers they do in addition to various originals, and each one is just amazing.
Take the time to discover Home Free because it will be a great tour. For me they are number 1 A-Cappella group
I'm a Home Fry from the Netherlands.
For more of Adam's harmonica awesomeness, check out their cover of Huey Lewis' "Working for a Living" ruclips.net/video/Li23QhaIKmM/видео.html
Working for a Living is soooo damn funnnn !
This song is a cover, it's probably best known recently from the soundtrack of the 2000 film "O Brother Where Art Thou" but the song has been around a long time. IMO it's one of Home Free's best. And as others have said already, that unusual twang you hear more prominently at the beginning and end is an impression of a jaw harp done by Adam Chance, the one guy you didn't recognize from the video. Best wishes with your channel.
This is an old school song that was revived in the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou"
The song was written in the early 1900s. You might have heard in a movie - Oh brother where art thou. When Tim finished his solo, he dropped an octave!
You need to watch Adam Rupp drum solo.
You had me laughing about Tim. Yeah he does that to us ladies too. Unfortunately during Covid Tim couldn’t get to the hairdresser and gray hair was coming in and he didn’t want long gray hair so he cut his hair short and let the gray show. I’m ok with it but I loved his long hair. Now Austin (redhead) has really long hair right now. Rob has the glasses. Adam is the beatboxer. Chance is the new guy. He took over for Chris Rupp, Adam’s brother, who quit the band in 2016 to go solo and Chance took his place. Chance is wonderful. They all are and yes Adam Rupp is a freak of nature! Good reaction. Chance (last one in video) was doing the mouth harp sound. So cool!😍
That sound is Adam Chance mimicking a didgeridoo. An Australian mouth harp
Wrong, a mouth harp....but common mistake....a didgeridoo has a low rumbling sound....see Adam Rupp's drum solo (the noise he introduces as being deep in the Southern Outback)
Great reaction and glad to see you smile over their talents! Adam is a beatboxer wonder and Tim, well what can you say about that low voice? My crushes on these guys change depending on which song I'm listening to. New sub for more Home Free please!
The 5th guy, the one who often gets forgotten, is the one who opens and closes this song with the juice harp/throat singing sound. His name is Adam Chance. He also does other instrument sounds. Check out Can't Stop the Feeling by Home Free. He sang bass for his previous vocal group. Check out Mayday by Home Free. Cihance does a lot of solo work. Check out his cover of Wayfaring Stranger which he recorded with the Fox and the Hound.
Tim has a 5-octave range. They are all so very talented. Adam with his beat boxing is insane. They lovingly call him the Freak of Nature. Love your reaction!
You really need to listen to their Sea Shanty Medley. You just heard Adam's "nomonica" that he learned by imitating Cartman. You were also hearing Chance doing the jawharp. Tim has a 5+ octave range with no voice strain. You like low notes? Hit up their version of Brothers in Arms.
If you want to hear more of Adam Rupp without any distractions, there's a fan video of his drum solo. He's wearing red checkered shirt.
If you love the beatboxing your should check out their cover of Listen to the Music. End of the Road is a great Rob Lead. To hear Chance then Cover Me Up. Austin kills it in When a Man Loves a Woman. Time is great in anything pretty much.
Check out Tim's solo work "Will you still love me tomorrow / Stay". The man's range is amazing. 🥰
You commented about Tim's hair. He cut it all off during covid. He has short hair now.
Home Free is the best--period. It's easy to forget they are completely acapella and make all "instrumental" sounds themselves.
In this song they are making a distinct southern (country blues) presentation--it definitely fits the lyrics of the song. Chance doing the jaw harp sound really sets the stage for this song's story, which Austin's twang fits phenomenally. Tim's bass line completely grounds the harmonies and Adam's voice percussion simply cannot be beat. This performance highlights a lot of Home Free's strengths although they also handle ANY other genre just as amazingly❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
Some of my favorites are "Working for a Living", "Good 'Ol Country Harmony", "Land of the Free", "Remember This", "Elvira" (with the Oak Ridge Boys), "Undivided", "Ain't Goin' Down 'Til the Sun Comes Up" (which is not on YT--it's on their official Facebook page), "Listen to the Music", "What's Left of My Heart", "Understand", and "Road Sweet Road" 😍!
I can't wait until you react to Home Free's Butts Medley!
This song blew Me away when I first heard it. And I definitely was hooked on home free from then on..they are so talented and sound so good..
How does Adam do that? Practice, practice, practice. Try their cover of the Doobie Brothers- classic Losten to the Music. Adam's percussion is fabulous.
Chance is the newer guy, he's a baritone/bass. He's been in the group since 2016 so earlier than that you will see will the founder Chris Rupp the beatboxer Adam Rupp's brother, they made the group in High school or college.
You’re not the only one to feel some type of way around Tim! And he’s the nicest guy with a killer sense of humor. You should check his blogs on his page. Southerner in the Snow is a riot!
Adam on the "Sea Shanty" is using some great sounds that is worth the listen. But the bonus is, you get to hear Chance do solos that I just love. Well, it is a testosterone blast as well.
Really love your reaction ♥️
This is one of their most popular songs. These guys are so talented ❤️❤️
That dude is called a no -Monica that Adam is doing. Adam got that good because hes been practicing developing his talent since 2001 when him and his brother Chris started this group. You need to check out their video of working for a living Her Adam shows off morbid's nomanica sound and also if you pull up their Facebook page do their video of Ain't gone down till sun comes up! New shop here for more home free.
Check out Adam Rupp Drum solo
Great reaction! That first sound coming in & the last sound going out are Chance imitating a jaw harp! Adam can imitate pretty much anything he wants to! Tim even goes an octave lower after his solo when the others come back in! A lot of reactors miss that! It's unbelievable! These guys are THE BEST a cappella group... PERIOD! 🤗&😘from SE Tennessee!😊
~~ Left to right ~~
-- Rob Lundquist 2nd tenor,/baritone (from Minnesota)
-- Adam Chance "Chance" baritone/bass, (from Alabama now California)
-- Austin Brown lead tenor, (from Georgia now Tennessee)
-- Adam Rupp beatboxer/tenor (4 octaves) (from Minnesota)
-- Tim Foust 5 octaves, (from Texas now Tennessee)
So let's recall the collective abilities of Home Free.
-- 5 lead singers
-- 5 tenors
-- 4 baritones
-- 2 bass
-- 1 basso profundo
-- 5 beat boxers/vocal percussionists
-- 1 EXCEPTIONAL beatboxer/drum kit/ vocal percussionist
-- 5 guys proficient for various genres: (Pop/Country/R&B/Rock/Gospel/Rap/Blues/Musical theater/Comedy/Holiday/Doo Wop/AND NOW Opera..Opera!!/dancers-in- training 😉 )
And...another one falls down the rabbit hole. You are so fucking doomed. We'll save you a chair.
You're about to be buried in Home Fries.
Home Free is the only country a capella group out there, but they can - and do - sing every genre. And they have no lead singer. Every one of these men can take the lead, and they pick the lead for each song by who does it the most justice. During quarantine, they kept all us Home Fries sane by dropping new videos every couple of weeks. God bless ‘em.
All the men can beat box, but Adam is in a league of his own. He's a world-class vocal percussionist and there're good reasons he's called a "Freak of Nature" and “the man who swallowed a drum kit.” For more of Adam's incredible beat boxing, check out Sea Shanty medley (the man makes castanets, for Pete's sake), his no-monica solo on Working For A Living and Ain't Going Down Til The Sun Comes Up (that video is on Facebook), and his drum solos.
For more of Tim's seismic basso profundo, listen to Brothers In Arms, Misty Mountains (his collaboration with Peter Hollens), Folsom Prison Blues, or Ring Of Fire (the Sing Off version).
For Chance's smooth baritone, check out Down to the Honky Tonk, Brothers In Arms, and Folsom Prison Blues. (Awesome.. basso profundo and a baritone/bass in the same group.) FYI, Chance is singing (throat singing) the jaw harp sounds - without the jaw harp - in Man Of Constant Sorrow.
For Rob's soulful tenor, check out End of the Road, Blue Ain't Your Color, or Bless The Broken Road. (Blue-eyed soul is in good hands with The Beard.)
For Austin's soaring power tenor, check out Crazy, Moonshine, When A Man Loves a Woman, or Bring Him Home. (But bolt down your chair ‘cause he'll sing you right out of it.)
For their humor, check out Butts Remix, Working For A Living, Between A Rock And A Heartache, Make You Feel My Love, Brother, and Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget.
For their amazing arrangement skills, check out Do You Hear What I Hear. (Adam's arrangement. Nothing else like it.)
For their tight harmonies, check out Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art, Brothers In Arms, or Auld Lang Syne.
For their mashups, check out Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On, Fishing in the Dark/Boondocks, Country Fried Pop, or Woman, Amen/Female.
For more of their wonderful collaborations, check out God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood, American Pie with Don McLean, Elvira with The Oak Ridge Boys, Children Go Where I Send Thee with the late Kenny Rogers, Don’t Laugh At Me with Mark Wills, Christmas In Dixie with Alabama, or Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For with Peter Hollens.
Get at least five videos under your belt and then listen to Mayday - the official video. After Mayday, you'll be ready for Tim and Austin doing My Maria or Tim's mashup of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay.
Then, when you come up for air, check out Rob and Austin singing Nessun Dorma. You'll need smelling salts after that one.
Don't miss their official videos. The Home Free men will often do a straight, gorgeous vocal performance, but they'll add elements of humor to the video that will leave you chuckling or even laughing out loud. (Folsom Prison Blues, Between A Rock And A Heartache, Make You Feel My Love, Working For A Living, Brother).
Their synergy is phenomenal. Each is an artist in his own right, but man - when they sing together, magic happens. Wicked talent polished by decades of hard work. (Unchained Melody, Castle On The Hill, Seven Bridges Road) To paraphrase another Home Fry, “They don't just own a cover, they upgrade it.”
You are doomed, Home Fry. Bring ketchup.
Tylr Tim has been known to go into a restaurant and order food, and with hearing distance all the women stop eating and look for that voice & right in front of husbands & boyfriends....this song is very very old...originally written down in 1913 but not recorded until around 1928. It was featured in the George Clooney movie "O Brother Where art thou?.....it's been covered by dozens of artists most famously by Bob Dylan in 1969/1970. The gent you had a hard time with his name, that is Chance (full name is Adam Chance Ray) and yes he replaced the bands founder Chris Rupp in May of 2016 when Chris left to pursue a solo career.....
Many times in concert when they do this song, Adam and Austin do a "nomonica" duet!
The song was originally written in the early 1900s and later covered by loads of people, including Bob Dylan. I never saw the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" but the Soggy Bottom Boys sang it in that movie. It's so easy to forget that it's entirely acapella. The lead singer on this (Austin Brown) is from Georgia; the bass (Tim Foust) is from Texas; the man in the back is from Alabama. The remaining band members - the beatboxer (Adam Rupp) and lead tenor (beard and glasses) are both from Minnesota. I'd highly recommend watching "When A Man Loves A Woman" next. Fall down the rabbit hole - it's a loong trip and a fun one!
The song was first written down in 1913, but is much older than that. You may remember it from the movie "O Brother, where art thou."
If you want to see more of Adam's abilities, you ought to see his drum solo video. Also the Christmas carol, Do You Hear What I Hear, shows a wide spectrum of his sound effects. Adam also did the arrangement. Other songs displaying his talents Listen to the Music and Ain't Going Home Until the Sun Goes Down. Adam also sings tenor when he's not beat boxing.
Songs featuring Robb are End of the Road and Blue Ain't Your Color. He also sings the operatic aria, Nessum Dorma, with Austin. Songs featuring Adam Chance are Brother, Some Girls Do, snd Castle on the Hill,. Austin is featured in When a Man Loves a Woman and Listen to the Music.
Tim has a five octave range. He has an album, Pieces of Me, which is do wah with him singing all the parts . He can sing all the parts of those old classics that were sung by a whole group.. Tim and Austin sing My Maria where Tim sings the higher part instead of Austin.
Tim is known to have blown quite a few speakers in live performances with his bass.. Concert goers say they can feel his bass go through them even at the back of the auditorium.
There is no lead singer in Home Free. The person leads who is best suited for the song. In terms of their harmonies, you haven't heard anything yet. Try Hopelessly, Hoping , Brothers in Arms, How Great Thou Art.
The guy you were missing is Adam Chance, called Chance to save confusion. the original guy was Chris Rupp, Adam's brother, they started the band back in college. After a few line up changes, they got Tim and Rob and Austin stalked them on a cruise ship when singing with another group until they took him on. With Chris, they won the sing off series the year after Pentatonix, the same year that Voiceplay were on too. The song is a very old one, it was used in the movie, O Brother, Where art Thou.
You'll see Adam Rupp's brother Chris in their early songs (Ring of Fire, Do You Hear What I Hear, Country Fried Pop). The brothers Rupp started the group, then Chris left to do his own thing and Chance (back left doing the voice harp) came in. Chance adds the beautiful Baritone to the group they needed to balance their sound.
This song originally came out in the early 1900's but was made well known in the movie "O Brother where art thou" with George Clooney. The last one is Adam Chance whom simply goes by Chance. Adam Rupp and his brother Chris originally put the group together but Chris moved on and Chance came in. Chance is the one who does the jaw harp. Chance can also do baritone but not quite as low as Tim.
Tyler if you want to hear Rob as lead watch the cover of the end of the road and if you want to hear them sing as though it is 1 voice watch the cover of helplessly hoping! Both are simply amazing!
Don't let Tim fool you he is an amazing bass but he has a 5 octive range. He can sing very high also. Adam has won many awards. Austin can go extremely high. Rob can also rap plus just has beautiful tone. Chance is a baritone but he has a good range too.
Adam Chance is the "new guy" who goes by Chance to avoid any confusion of the two Adams. He was making the noise at the beginning that made the sound of a Jaw Harp. He is also a bass and sings the low parts when Tim sings the higher parts.
When you listen to it again pay attention to Tim's part immediately after his solo -- he drops almost an octave below his solo in the bass part immediately following.
Hey TY, listen closely to the line immediately following the two lines of Tim's bass solo, he drops down a full octave just as easily & clear as can be. Great reaction.
Home Free was first formed in 2000-2001, Chris Rupp, Adam Rupp, and Matt Atwood were the founders. Since Adam didn't have formal vocal training (his music degree and specialty was trumpet), he decided to learn to beatbox. He taught himself with videos and by learning from other beatboxers to develop his own sound. You should really look up some of his solos, he does one every show so there is a lot to choose from on RUclips. Start with an early one (the 2015 one is very popular), then look up a more recent one to see how he has improved and added so much more to his solos.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbithole. As you become better acquainted with the vocal abilities of each of the guys you'll note how unique they are. They are so skilled at balancing out their harmonies what you hear can be deceiving. Might want to check out their version of 'Helplessly Hoping.' At times, their voices and breathing are so in sync it's difficult to tell how many are singing, if you're not watching. Adam also adds his sweet tenor in this for the 5-part harmony.
You've experienced Tim at his lower end. During their recent Holiday tour, Austin missed a few performances due to illness, and Tim filled in for some of his parts. They are all not only talented but very versatile. You've surely received numerous recommendations for additional HF vids. If there's a particular type of song, genre, lead vocal, etc you'd like to see from these guys, just ask. We'll try to cater suggestions accordingly.
I loved your reactions and comments to Home Free!
If you want to see Rob and Austin shine, search for a video Two country singers attempt opera. That will knock your socks off!
If you love Robb's voice, you have to check out their "End of the Road".
It seems to amaze me everytime I hear these guys ,God sure gave them talent. Wow
What you hear at the start and the end of the song, is the sound of an Australian digeridoo. The indigenous people use that. Look it up to see how they make it. Ever see Crocodile Dundee? ANY musical instrument you hear is done mostly by the beatboxer, but also others in the group. To see the digeridoo sound guy, he's leaning against a porch post as the song ends. Very subtle.
harmonica and mouth harp sounds are my fav.
Tim is hilarious too. You should check out Story Time with Tim videos.
The group was started by Adam Rupp, his brother Chris, and one other gentleman. The first few albums featured Chris Rupp as the 5th member, but he left to do some solo stuff and other projects. The gentleman who took his place was Adam Chance (goes by chance). He is the one in the back left. He is a baritone, but can do some crazy bass and covers for Tim when he is singing leads, and he also has a great lead voice as well. If you wanna see Chance lead, listen to "Some Girls Do". Hope that helps.
Re Tim's locks: he cut them off a couple of years ago, and let it go silver. If anything, he looks even better. (He's 43 or 44, I believe, oldest of the group.) Re the song: people often know it from the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou" with George Clooney, but the composer is unknown. It was first recorded around 1913.
I think Tim is only 42, and, yes he makes millions of us 'feel a way'.
Thank you for reacting! I subbed. ❤
The last member is Adam Chance, see more of him in Helplessly Hoping
Chance (Adam Chance) is the baritone in the dark vest. He covers bass when Tim goes on a lead and he did the jaw harp sound using something like harmonic overtone (a.k.a. Tibetan Throat) singing. I think he did a short section and then they looped it throughout the song on a separate layer. It's apparently hard on the voice for long periods.
They actually have very different voices, but they still fit very well together.
If yo want to hear more harmonies and wallow at the same time in the arms of Tims bass, check out Brothers in Arms.
If you are in the mood for beautiful 5 part harmony but hear more of Chance (the guy doing the overtones in this one) check out Helplessly Hoping.
If you want to hear more with Rob, check out End of the Road
They guy that left is Adams brother and they started Homefree together. In my opinion Chase's voice fits much better with the group.
They are amazing! You just need to react to Nessum Dorma, a classical piece that Rob and Austin does together. It will give you another deapth of Rob's talent!!!!!
If you want to hear Rob at his best, he and Austin did Nessun Dorma. You won't ever see Rob the same after hearing him belt out those rich tenor operatic notes. Austin also does great as always with a crossover style, but Rob... Yeah... that good!
You definitely need to watch Adam's drum solo!
Wait until you hear how high Tim can go in Ring of Fire!!! Then, even higher in his cover of Will You Still Love Me/Stay.
Rob will blow you away in his recent duet with Austin, "Two Country Singers Try to Sing Opera, Nessum Dorma"!!!
Then Austin slam-dunks When a Man Loves a Woman.
There are two Adam’s, Rupp who is the beat boxer, and Adam Chance who is the other guy he sings baritone and bass. Since there are two Adam’s, everyone calls the other baritone guy Chance. That first sound was of a Jews Harp/ Mouth Harp. Then Adam comes in with the harmonica.
These guys are so amazing. Adam has won World Championships in beat boxing. They are also extremely funny. They have some very funny videos. Like the Butt's Remix, Brother, All about that bass. They are very close to each other and no egos.
Yes, "Story Time With Tim" is always a hoot!!
Home Free ❤️🙌🙌
The guy you couldn't identify in the back is Chance. He is the newer member group and does a lot of backup vocals and beats with Adam. He is also a Baritone and can go as low as Tim but not as high.
Hey there Tyler.
That sound you hear in the intro and at the end... in fact, all through the video, is the guy in the back on the left doing a 'juice harp' sound vocally. Some have said that it is a didgeridoo, which is an Australian instrument. This is incorrect, as he is doing a juice harp, a simple instrument used in country and western music.
And, yes... the harmonica sounds surprised me as well when I first heard this song.
Rob and Austin's tenors talk to you higher level emotional side. But Tim's bass goes straight to your lizard brain.
Clearly I must be missing a lizard brain. Doesn't do much for me.
If you want to hear perfect timing, you have to listen to helplessly hoping by Home Free
Check out Tim singing WILL YOU STILL LIVE ME TOMORROW/STAY if you want to hear his whole range!!
For more of Adam Rupp’s nomonica try Ain’t Goin’ Down Til The Sun Comes Up or Workin’ For a Livin’
Adam Chance is the other member whose name escaped you, and he is the one who replaced Chris Rupp, the brother of Adam Rupp, and one of the original funders of, Home Free! Chance, as he's often referred to, is the baritone, and sometimes sings bass, when Tim sings in one of his other five range octaves!
Loved the reaction, song is from the movie Brother Where Art Thou, here are some suggestions for you. Listen to the Music, When a Man Loves a Woman, Butts Remix/Medley, Brother
Good reaction, but it's an American Alligator, not a croc. 😀 They're all insanely talented. Want bass? Hillbilly Bone and Brothers In Arms. Go to Peter Hollens' YT for him and Tim singing Misty Mountains. (Peter is the master of vocal layering.) Rob? Brother, Blue Ain't Your Color, and Country Roads. Nessun Dorma on Austin Brown's YT. Austin? When A Man Loves A Woman, Listen To The Music, and Bring Him Home (on Austin's YT). Another great one features most of them is Sea Shanty Medley. Mayday is a must-hear, but only after you are familiar with each member and his vocal role.
Mayday is AMAZING! Cannot get their cover of it out of my head. 😎
You’ve probably heard this song before in the movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” starring George Clooney.
