If you think they sound good listening through headphones, multiply that by 10 for their live performances. When Tim hits those low notes it's literally seismic!
Are they related? In this video, yes...two are related. The Beatboxer and the one wearing a hat are brothers Adam and Chris Rupp who started the group over 20 years ago for a church talent show. The members in this video are Adam Rupp, beatboxer, Chris Rupp Baritone/Tenor wearing the hat. Rob Lundquist (beard and glasses) singing tenor. Austin Brown high tenor and Tim Foust, Bass Singer. In 2016, Chris left the group to pursue his songwriting, singing and producing career. That is when Adam Chance (called Chance) came in singing baritone/bass. He is the one in Man of Constant Sorrow that did the Jaw Harp sound. Adam and Rob still live in Minnesota where the group was founded. Tim is from Texas but now lives in Nashville. Austin is from Georgia but now lives in Nashville too. Chance is from Alabama but now lives in California. Over the 20 + years, they have perfected their tight harmonies, expanded their vocal abilities and tapped into their songwriting skills. That said, for more Christmas that give you a taste of their humor, you may want to check out "Full Of Cheer" written by Tim or "Cold Hard Cash" written by Austin. Because of the variety of vocal ranges that they have in the group, they can sing any style they want and kill it every time. They do primarily country but tend to not pigeon hole themselves and sing whatever they feel like. One time it will be an original song or maybe a country cover. Next it will be a Justin Timberlake cover or maybe a Disney theme song. Will they partner up with another singer or singers? Or maybe they will cut loose with an R&B song. You never quite know what you are going to get from these guys except a damn good song! I think you would like the Butt's Medley, End of the Road, Honey I'm Good (wear the headphones for that one) Hillbilly Bone, In The Blood, This is How we roll, or American Pie with Don McClain
Thank you for the marvelous reaction to this beautiful rendition, arranged by the beatboxer Adam Rupp. And Tim Foust, the bass/ occasional tenor, has 5 octaves. And men sing tenor, not usually soprano. Adam (beatboxer) is Chris Rupp's (dude in hat) brother. Chris left in 2016, to be replaced by Adam Chance. For more Christmas, O Holy Night, Angels We Have Heard on High, What Child Is This?, a Tim original Snow Globe, funny Full of Cheer, Cold Hard Cash and Grandma Got Run Over... All wonderful!
Chris and Adam Rupp started the group while they were in college. Adam is the vocal percussionist from another dimension. Chris has now left the group to do more solo work and has his own YT channel, but still collabs with various members of HF from time to time. Chris was replaced by Adam Chance (Chance, so as not to confuse him with Adam Rupp). There is a series of YT videos that go through the history of the group. Also a great interview with Tim Foust on The Charismatic Voice. Tim, Austin and Chance have their own channels and put out a lot of great music. Pretty much all of them collab with other artists (several HF and Peter Hollens that are absolutely amazing). Tim and Austin have a new project called Sweet & Low Music Co that is pretty awesome. So much wonderful music, so little time. Between HF and all the side projects, they will keep you going for a long, long time.
If you think Tim went high on this song listen to their cover of Mayday or some of his solo music from Pieces of Me. Adam (the beatboxer) arranged this and the guys said it was the most complicated arrangement they've ever done. Now you need to check out Listen to the Music (Doobie Brothers cover) Brother (Need to Breathe cover) and their latest originals Understand and Road Sweet Road and don't forget to check out Butts Remix. It'll crack you up!!! These guys are THE BEST!!!!
I may suggest an order when showing Tim's range. Mayday first then Snow Globe lastly Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Stay. If they start with his solo work the others lose their impact. They should experience them in the order we did.
You'll find out on your trip down this rabbit hole that these guys don't do covers, they do upgrades! They can take any song and stay true to the originaI but still manage to make it their own. In this video the beat boxer (Adam Rupp) and the guy wearing the hat (Chris Rupp) are brothers hence the same last name. They are the guys that started Home Free back around 2000, Chris went solo a few years ago, that's when Adam Chance for Street Corner Serranaders joined as a base/Beratone with 4+ octave range, he will do the base duties when Tim takes the lead vocal. Tim Faust, the base guy, has a 5+ octave range, check out his latest solo album, Pieces of Me, it's all Doo Wap don't by him and only him, it will blow your mind, there are about 4 songs you can find on RUclips. Adam Rupp has won multiple awards for his beat boxing, in their cover of Garth Brooks "Ain't going down til the sun comes up", he kills the harmonica and morphs into an electric guitar, pretty impressive. The 2 tenors are Austin Brown and Rob Lundquist, they did an opera song not long ago, Austin was the one that hit those really high notes on this one. Hope this helps a bit. Keep your hands inside the car and hang on, you're in for a hell of a ride!
If you had let the end comments play, you would have discovered this was all arranged entirely by their beatboxer, Adam. And that shows some massive talent there. Also keep in mind, each one is not assigned to just one lane, so to speak. They can all beatbox to a degree and often cover more than one position while singing. That's why the bass can sing tenor, cause someone else can cover the bass, etc. And they all take turns as lead singer. Finally, since Christmas is almost hear, would love to hear you cover "Mary Did You Know," and "O Holy Night."
For me one of the best arranged songs, or perhaps the best, of Home Free. So impressive! The so great harmonies, the sound effects, colors, etc. in such a beautiful but cold environment. When I saw and heard this for the first time, I did repeat it a few times. Just amazing. Here it is with Chris Rupp (with hat). He started the group 22 years ago with his brother Adam Rupp (the beatboxer). Chris left the group in 2016 for a solo album and other projects such as 7th ave and Cypress Fyre.
Chris Rupp and Adam Rupp are brothers and founders of Home Free. Chris Rupp left the group in the spring of 2016 and Chance took over , Looking for Xmas songs Oh Holy Night, Full of Cheer (funny original song) Silent Night , so many songs from these guys. Great reaction
You absolutely need to use Headphones with these a capella groups.....PTX and VoicePlay as well...but you NEED to hear all the pieces. You NEED to check out "Children Go Where I send thee" where HF collabs with Kenny Rodgers....AMAZING as well. In the older videos, the brothers are Chris Rupp (normally wears a hat, tenor/baritone) and Adam Rupp (Beatboxer) and they co-founded Home Free back in 2000. Later Rob (beard) and Tim (bass) joined, then Austin (high tenor). Newer videos from 2013 on have Adam Chance (goes by Chance to avoid confusion) who is a bass/bariton. He can sing bass when Tim take lead. They all have incredible ranges. Rob and Adam are from Minnisota, Tim is from South Texas, Austin is from Georgia and I want to say that Chance is from Alabama....Adam arranged this song, and it was very complicated...Tim has a 5+ Octave range, Chance has a 4 octave range, and of course Austin and Rob sing tenor. Adam can actually sing tenor when not doing drums...and he has the widest range of all of them if you include his sound effects and throat rolls etc....
That was awesome!! Love love love the harmonies and Adam Rupp’s beatboxing! Austin’s high notes and Tim’s low notes geez they are good!! If you want to see how low Tim can sing go to where it says “Tim broke the subwoofer “ he is on another level! Great reaction!! I love Home Free😊
Adam Rupp, the beat boxer arranged this gorgeous work and it is stunning. So creative and unique. The performance could in no way have been more perfect. It's too beautiful to save just for Christmas. I listen to it all year round. Loved your reaction!
I'm glad to see several others have recommended their butts remix. I came into here to suggest the exact same one. Another great hilarious one is their cover of all about that bass as well as their country pop remix. I laugh at robs facial expressions in that one everytime I watch it.
What great reaction!! Welcome to the Home Fry Universe! Watch Tim’s right hand. He will show you when he is going low, because he points down with his right hand. Check out the live concert in IL, which mentions breaking the subwoofers. Great fun, and Tim does blow their speakers…
Such an exceptional arrangement by Home Free's own wizard and incomparable vocal percussionist, Adam Rupp ⛄🪄🎄 And such a nice treat to hear Chris Rupp's smooth baritone getting some focus❣️🎼🥰🎶♥️
We always tell people to wait until they know everyone’s voices & sounds before they listen to Mayday but y’all already know so go listen to Mayday now & check out Tim’s full range & have y’all’s minds blown even further ! Trust me, I’ve never lied to y’all before !!
By cutting off the "post" video you missed learning that this was arranged by Adam Rupp the bearboxer. Plus that the setting was in Minnesota at an annual ice castle that moves around each year. And yes the beatboxer Adam Rupp and the baritone Chris Rupp are brothers. Chris left to do a solo career and Adam Chance (just Chance to avoid confusion) joined from Street Corner Symphony where he was the bass.
Lol great reaction guys!! ❤️ I think y'all would love their Butts remix or Butts medley you can search either one. That video I'd a good time lol The beatboxer Adam Rupp is Chris Rupps brother the guy in the hat
Fun reaction, guys! "Mary Did You Know" is another incredible Home Free Christmas song & "O Holy Night". For fun Christmas songs, "What Christmas Means to Me", "Full of Cheer" (an original) & "Cold Hard Cash" (another original), "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer". Merry Christmas from SE Tennessee!
Very nice reaction. Welcome to the world of Home Free. You've only scratched the surface. Do some more like End Of The Road, One Many Band and any of their Christmas songs. But save Mayday until you have listened to a few more. Thanks for joining the world of Home Fries. I've seen them live 3 times and have tickets for next April.
You guys can fangirll over Tims basso profundo any time you like! You're enthusiasm is infectious! For more of Austin's high range, listen to their cover of When a Man Loves a Woman! Its been called life altering. Ring of Fire (either the Sing Off version or the one with Avi) for Tims bass. Folsom Prison Blues for Tim and Chance. End of the Road for Rob. Nessum Dorma for Rob and Austin singing opera. Rob studied opera in college and Austin studied music theater. This song featured only a portion of Tims range. There are a few of their songs where he goes even higher, and lower! Lol! For more Christmas, listen to O Holy Night, Mary Did You Know, Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer, and Full of Cheer. Other faves are In the Blood (makes me cry like a baby every.single.time I hear it), The Butts Remix (medley), Hillbilly Bone (very bass heavy!!!), Listen to the Music, Understand. But honestly, you can't go wrong with any of their music. Enjoy the rabbit hole. Subbed for more more more Home Free!
Watch 22 times Tom Foust went subwoofer..he is amazing. Another 1 is when he broke the speaker singing. Love the harmonies and beatbixing they are amazing!
Wasn’t this great?!! Adam, the beatboxer, arranged this and they don’t let him arrange too often as his arrangements are too complicated. He’s the alien! His beatboxing is award winning. Adam Rupp Drum Solo (2015) is great as it’s just him and a microphone and he’s drumming! Tim, the bass, has a 5 octave range so he can sing tenor all the way down and he’s blown speakers before. They are all talented singers and all can beatbox to a degree. I’m so glad you’re wearing headphones. Try O Holy Night, Mary Did You Know for Christmas…for funny ones try Full of Cheer, Cold Hard Cash. For New Years try Auld Lang Syne. Have a wonderful Christmas and I subscribed! 😍
This awesome reaction made me subscribe! Such a fun and enjoyable reaction to a fun group of guys!❤ My song choices have been mentioned by commenters already, but y'all really need to watch Adam's drum solo!!
Thank y'all for a great reaction. The guys are so amazing. I am sure very cold. Really enjoyed you two having a good time watching and listening. Thanks y'all. 😊
This is my favorite of their Christmas carols. Tim Foust, the bass, is very good. The thing about the acapella basses is they can always drive you crazy singing ALL the parts and have. 🙂 Try Homefree Ring of Fire ft Avi Kaplan that will give you 2 basses in one song. Tim Foust on his own does all the parts, Geoff Castellucci from Voiceplay same thing but never fear they will show you the multiples of themselves that they layer together. Male Acapella bands have a high tenor, tenor, baritone, bass and a beatboxer. The highest male voice is called a countertenor. Mitch Grassi of Pentatonix is one of those. Do have fun with Homefree the group has been around for 20 years but only the beatboxer, Adam Rupp is left of the original band now. (Chris Rupp baritone his brother is in this but left several years ago).
Best arrangement of any Christmas song, ever. I was lucky enough to see them do this in concert tnis week. Equally fabulous. And, I hate to tell you, but you haven't even scratched Tim's range. Try his solo video of Will You Love Me Tomorrow (on his channel) and his collab with Peter Hollens on Misty Mountains (on Peter's channel)
New sub here for more Home Free! Wasn't that awesome! What is better than this, Hearing them live!!! My oldest bought tickets to see them. Ok, best Christmas gift ever. We were in the balcony. Now when Tim hits a low note, it rattles you inside. That's what people said. I thought it was mainly those sitting close, Well he rattle us way up in the balcony!!!!!!!!!!! This song is epic! Great reaction. If you ever get a chance to see them live GO!!!
In this video, trucker hat (Chris Rupp) and beat boxer (Adam Rupp) are brothers. They started the group. Chris is no longer with the group, he was replaced in 2016 with Adam Chance, who was the bass for Streetcorner Symphony, and Chance will take over the bass lines when Tim Foust (pronounced F-ow-st) is singing lead. Really high tenor is Austin Brown and the bearded one with glasses is the second tenor Rob Lundquist. Tim is from Texas, Austin is from Georgia, Rupp bros and Rob are from Minnesota, and Chance is from Alabama, currently living in LA.
GREAT REACTIONS! Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole, enjoy the ride, they never fail. It’s almost impossible to recommend one of their songs over another. With them, anything goes.
You two might enjoy watching their performances on the show "Sing Off". It was a show that was a singing competition for a capella groups that gave Home Free a nationwide audience. Spoiler alert -they win. I suggest watching the ones with the judges comments, they are all amazed at Tim's low notes.
Great reaction!! You definitely need to attend a concert. Tim, the bass, has been known to blow out the speakers. As Ben Folds stated during the Sing Off, you'll feel a lot bass in your butt. Trucker hat and beatboxer are brothers and the original founders.
The man with the long hair is Austin Brown and he is the high tenor of the group. Alto and soprano are female voices. If you want to hear him really reach for the stars with his voice, listen to Home Free's version of When a Man Loves a Woman. You will also hear some amazing beat boxing from Adam and of course some incredible harmonies.
Home Fries come hard in a good way! 🤣 Love y'all's reactions to HF! Check out them singing Dire Straits Helplessly Hoping it will blow your minds. No freaking joke! Keep them coming!!! Merry Christmas Guys!!! 😊
Dire Straits - "Brothers in Arms" Crosby, Stills, & Nash - "Helplessly Hoping" 😘👍 2 of my favorite songs from Home Free!! Wooohooo! The 3rd one to add would be the Doobie Brothers - "Listen to the Music"!! 😳🤯
dave here. love the reaction guys. We were all amazed. You just watched their best arrangement. now for Best cover-End of the Road, Best solo-When a man loves a woman, Best harmonies-Brothers in Arms, My faves: one man band, Mayday (save for later) and Broken Road. And they have numerous humorous choices. Enjoy. it only gets better.
Actually, Chris Rupp and his brother, Adam started the group in 2000. They're the ones related...however, their connection is wonderful to see. You're going to really enjoy this journey, my friends... I'm now subbed for more Home Free and their music community which includes Peter Hollens, Texas Hill, a newly formed group with instruments called Sweet & Low...not to mention the music that Tim Faust (basso profundo) has released an album in which he sings all the parts with his 5+ octave range. Austin Brown has his own RUclips channel with great music. These guys offer so much and are so versatile, anything you choose is going to be awesome. They go from ridiculously funny Butts Medley and Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer to the sublime with Helplessly Hoping and Brothers in Arms. Enjoyed your reaction.... waiting for more.
just subscribed for home free reactions..home fry here..keeping in spirit of christmas check out mary did you know by home free..these guys never disappoint..any genre, welcome to the rabbit hole gentlemen..love your reactions to our guys.
you should react to "OH Holy Night" by them. If you want to really get an idea oh just how crazy the bassist range is check out Tim Foust "Will you Still Love Me/Stay".
The guy in the cap is the brother of the beatboxer. They started the group in 2000 along with their friend Matt Atwood. Home Free was the name of Matt's grandfather's boat and he helped them out financially when they first started. Older brother Chris Rupp left in 2016 for other projects and (Adam) Chance filled the open position. Chris does solo work and also sing with Cypress Fyre. He and his sister Tristin are one half of the a cappella group 7th Ave and they have a very fun version of Uptown Funk. Check out What Child is This by Chris Rupp feat. Home Free. It's the only video I know of where all 6 of 2016's Home Free sing together although Chance shows up as a party-goer in House Party while still with his old group and Chris is seen in the background of their video It Looks Good.
Enjoy the rabbit hole that is Home Free. I have been following them since their win on The Sing Off and have seen them live 3 times. Adam (beatboxer) and the Chris (gone from the group) are the ones that started the group in Minnesota. If you are truly serious about this journey... learn their names, start at the beginning and work your way forward. Listen to The Butts Remix, Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget, the go on to when Chance joined the group and listen to Try Everything, My Church and a few more. Only after those should you even go to Mayday, Brothers In Arms and Helplessly Hoping, not to mention Go Rest High on That Mountain and How Great Thou Art. You have no idea what a real treat you are in for and yes, Home Fries will flock to your channel :)
Adam Rupp, co-founder of HF and the awesome beatboxer. Tim Foust, bass. He has a five-octave range. Rob Lundquist (glasses and beard) Tenor Harmony. Austin Brown, Lead Tenor. Adam Chance, Baritone ( goes by Chance). Chance replaced Chris Rupp (co-founder) who left in 2016. To further blow your mind, check out Tim Foust's solo music from his doo wop album. Either, Will You Still Love Me/Stay or Since I Don't Have You. And, in keeping with mind blowing performances, check out Rob Lundquist and Austin Browns opera performance, Nessun Dorma.
All their Christmas music is outstanding.....just pick one. And another please! I'm here for it! And New Years, their version of Auld Lang Syne is nothing short of perfect.
Take me home country roads, thinking out loud/ let’s get it on, End of the road , Can’t stop the feeling , Folsom prison blues, moonshine,Dreamer ( old version) and Dreamer (featuring Texas hill ) @ the Ryman.
Just read Terry Hall a lead singer of the specials and one third of fun boy three has died at the age of 63 after a short illness.thought you would like to know? Rip Terry!
Fantastic how have i not heard of these before? Fantastic to hear auch wonderful voices. On a slightly different tack if you haven't already then check out the Playing For Change videos - in particular the Yusef/Cat Stevens 'Peace Train' that theyve done or their version of The Weight which also featured Ringo Starr. Both brilliant songs in their own right made even better in these versions.
If you are enjoying this, then you should also check out the other two top groups, Pentatonix and Voice Play. They have different feels to their music respectively but are equally as talented. Have fun learning about acapella.
New sub for more Home Free. To hear Tim really go subwoofer...there is a video Tim Foust Subwoofer.. you should check it out. He also has his own channel that will show you his FULL range.
Thank you for the reaction! Since it’s Christmas you might want to check out Angels We Have Heard On High and I’ll Be Home For Christmas. Their harmonies in both as well as the videos themselves are both awesome! ❤️
You two would love their "Butts medley/remix". Amazing singing AND sooo funny.
To hear Tim Foust the Bassist range a good one to listen too is “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay” to be truly amazed
He did amazing with that mashup.
Yes, you NEED to listen to this song. Tim does ALL the parts.
If you think they sound good listening through headphones, multiply that by 10 for their live performances. When Tim hits those low notes it's literally seismic!

Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem
Home Fries travel! You guys are fun, thanks for the reaction…I always love watching Home Free for the first time.
You'll love their "Helplessly Hoping" and "Brothers In Arms" ... harmony perfection !
Adam's arrangement!! Pure genius!! Home Free and Home Fry forever!!
Austin Brown and Tim Foust did a cover of My Maria.....It is awesome and Tim's vocals will blow your dress up!!!! lol!!

But it's recomended to wait until they know All the HF members names, and their ranges.
I may suggest an order when showing Tim's range. Mayday first then Snow Globe lastly Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Stay. If they start with his solo work the others lose their impact. They should experience them in the order we did.
Can’t stop the feeling ( from trolls ) is a good one. And Blue ain’t your color

Correction, Adam Chance came in 2016
@@antrazitaj5209 Sorry, I stand corrected, 2013 is when they won the Sing Off, 2016 is when Chance joined the group!
I was never a huge fan of this song until I heard Home Free's version! Loved, loved. loved this reaction! Thanks Spencer and Daniel! 🖤🍟
That was awesome!! Love love love the harmonies and Adam Rupp’s beatboxing! Austin’s high notes and Tim’s low notes geez they are good!! If you want to see how low Tim can sing go to where it says “Tim broke the subwoofer “ he is on another level! Great reaction!! I love Home Free😊
It's so impressive to realise that, except for the clapping, every sound you heard is made with the human voice. Amazing!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤5 hearts for Home Free and 2 hearts for your reaction! Love from Texas!!!
Adam Rupp, the beat boxer arranged this gorgeous work and it is stunning. So creative and unique. The performance could in no way have been more perfect. It's too beautiful to save just for Christmas. I listen to it all year round. Loved your reaction!

I know it's a typo, but I actually laughed out loud when I read "bearboxer"!!! Hahaha I got a mental image of Adam boxing with a bear!! 😜🤣😂🤣
I kept thinking through the whole reaction, “just wait!” Great reaction!
I swear Tim is going to cause an avalanche! lol This my favorite rendition of this song.
I can't seem to get it into my thick skull how they manage that, it's mesmerising.
They sing that lovely song so beautifully.
I’m guessing you meant mesmerising you crazy Irish woman 😂😂😜🫶🏼👍🏼
@@stevestibbons1789 looks like my lovely polite reply was removed by YT 😆
That’s a shame, but now I want to know what it was 😂😂😂👍🏼
Hi guys! If you want to hear Tim's range just go to RUclips and watch Home Free - Snow Globe. You will definitely be blown away. Great reaction.
Hold off on MAYDAY until you know their voices better...for bass shaking lows, check out Misty Mountains with Peter Hollens and Tim Foust.
@@wirelessmikedj7784 Absolutely! I've said it before, these guys could sing the warning label on a bottle of cyanide and make it sound appealing. Lol!
Great reaction, y'all. Your appreciation of Home Free's abilities is great to watch.
Lol great reaction guys!! ❤️ I think y'all would love their Butts remix or Butts medley you can search either one. That video I'd a good time lol
The beatboxer Adam Rupp is Chris Rupps brother the guy in the hat
The bassist actually has a couple more octaves up his sleeve. Check out his solo stuff some time. It's spectacular. Thanks for reacting!
I'm So glad to see y'all do a couple Home Free reactions. Those fellas are just amazing!
Fun reaction, guys! "Mary Did You Know" is another incredible Home Free Christmas song & "O Holy Night". For fun Christmas songs, "What Christmas Means to Me", "Full of Cheer" (an original) & "Cold Hard Cash" (another original), "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer". Merry Christmas from SE Tennessee!
Very nice reaction. Welcome to the world of Home Free. You've only scratched the surface. Do some more like End Of The Road, One Many Band and any of their Christmas songs. But save Mayday until you have listened to a few more. Thanks for joining the world of Home Fries. I've seen them live 3 times and have tickets for next April.
Great reaction! I love watching people really enjoy and appreciate great music! Thank you.
Yep! Tim will shake the room
Adam Rupp arranged this Masterpiece. Amazing 👏
Did u just hear what I heard?? 😲😁 This was one of their older songs and they just kept getting better...if u can imagine that! Love Home Free!🥰
You guys can fangirll over Tims basso profundo any time you like! You're enthusiasm is infectious! For more of Austin's high range, listen to their cover of When a Man Loves a Woman! Its been called life altering.
Ring of Fire (either the Sing Off version or the one with Avi) for Tims bass. Folsom Prison Blues for Tim and Chance. End of the Road for Rob. Nessum Dorma for Rob and Austin singing opera. Rob studied opera in college and Austin studied music theater.
This song featured only a portion of Tims range. There are a few of their songs where he goes even higher, and lower! Lol!
For more Christmas, listen to O Holy Night, Mary Did You Know, Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer, and Full of Cheer.
Other faves are In the Blood (makes me cry like a baby every.single.time I hear it), The Butts Remix (medley), Hillbilly Bone (very bass heavy!!!), Listen to the Music, Understand. But honestly, you can't go wrong with any of their music.
Enjoy the rabbit hole. Subbed for more more more Home Free!
Watch 22 times Tom Foust went subwoofer..he is amazing. Another 1 is when he broke the speaker singing. Love the harmonies and beatbixing they are amazing!
Oh he gets much higher than that. Check out his solo video Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay.
Here for the HF. This is a great one
We LOVE our Home Free, but, we love your reactions, so, new sub! Can't wait for more, y'all! ❤️
Wasn’t this great?!! Adam, the beatboxer, arranged this and they don’t let him arrange too often as his arrangements are too complicated. He’s the alien! His beatboxing is award winning. Adam Rupp Drum Solo (2015) is great as it’s just him and a microphone and he’s drumming! Tim, the bass, has a 5 octave range so he can sing tenor all the way down and he’s blown speakers before. They are all talented singers and all can beatbox to a degree. I’m so glad you’re wearing headphones. Try O Holy Night, Mary Did You Know for Christmas…for funny ones try Full of Cheer, Cold Hard Cash. For New Years try Auld Lang Syne. Have a wonderful Christmas and I subscribed! 😍
This awesome reaction made me subscribe! Such a fun and enjoyable reaction to a fun group of guys!❤
My song choices have been mentioned by commenters already, but y'all really need to watch Adam's drum solo!!
Their Butts medley (remix) you have to watch it‼️ Awesome reaction 😄 😆
😇 Angels!❤Homefree❤
I can tell you from experience, recently, that this song done live, Tim's low note vibrated the floor and cameras.
Thank y'all for a great reaction. The guys are so amazing. I am sure very cold. Really enjoyed you two having a good time watching and listening. Thanks y'all. 😊
Thanks for the reaction, guys. *Subscribed for more Home Free*
This is my favorite of their Christmas carols. Tim Foust, the bass, is very good. The thing about the acapella basses is they can always drive you crazy singing ALL the parts and have. 🙂 Try Homefree Ring of Fire ft Avi Kaplan that will give you 2 basses in one song. Tim Foust on his own does all the parts, Geoff Castellucci from Voiceplay same thing but never fear they will show you the multiples of themselves that they layer together.
Male Acapella bands have a high tenor, tenor, baritone, bass and a beatboxer. The highest male voice is called a countertenor. Mitch Grassi of Pentatonix is one of those.
Do have fun with Homefree the group has been around for 20 years but only the beatboxer, Adam Rupp is left of the original band now. (Chris Rupp baritone his brother is in this but left several years ago).
Best arrangement of any Christmas song, ever. I was lucky enough to see them do this in concert tnis week. Equally fabulous. And, I hate to tell you, but you haven't even scratched Tim's range. Try his solo video of Will You Love Me Tomorrow (on his channel) and his collab with Peter Hollens on Misty Mountains (on Peter's channel)
Crispy.
That’s the word I’ve been looking for to describe this.
Check out their version of Mary Did You Know. It's my personal favorite of all versions.
New sub here for more Home Free! Wasn't that awesome! What is better than this, Hearing them live!!! My oldest bought tickets to see them. Ok, best Christmas gift ever. We were in the balcony. Now when Tim hits a low note, it rattles you inside. That's what people said. I thought it was mainly those sitting close, Well he rattle us way up in the balcony!!!!!!!!!!! This song is epic! Great reaction. If you ever get a chance to see them live GO!!!
In this video, trucker hat (Chris Rupp) and beat boxer (Adam Rupp) are brothers. They started the group. Chris is no longer with the group, he was replaced in 2016 with Adam Chance, who was the bass for Streetcorner Symphony, and Chance will take over the bass lines when Tim Foust (pronounced F-ow-st) is singing lead. Really high tenor is Austin Brown and the bearded one with glasses is the second tenor Rob Lundquist. Tim is from Texas, Austin is from Georgia, Rupp bros and Rob are from Minnesota, and Chance is from Alabama, currently living in LA.
I listen to this all year long. Glad you enjoyed this. HF BUTTS REMIX (MEDLEY).
I didn’t hear it, but I felt it! Time for new headphones!!!❤
GREAT REACTIONS! Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole, enjoy the ride, they never fail.
It’s almost impossible to recommend one of their songs over another. With them, anything goes.
You two might enjoy watching their performances on the show "Sing Off". It was a show that was a singing competition for a capella groups that gave Home Free a nationwide audience. Spoiler alert -they win. I suggest watching the ones with the judges comments, they are all amazed at Tim's low notes.
Just Subscribed as I'm on board for your ride on the HF express. Just a joy to watch reactors with earphones😉
They did this live it is just as awesome as it is on video. Thanks for the great reaction!
Tim apparently has a range of at least 5 octaves which I have never heard of. His low notes give me chills it so amazing.
If you like these guys you should also check out the acapella group voiceplay. Their bass also has a five octave range! It’s insane!
Great reaction!! You definitely need to attend a concert. Tim, the bass, has been known to blow out the speakers. As Ben Folds stated during the Sing Off, you'll feel a lot bass in your butt. Trucker hat and beatboxer are brothers and the original founders.
The man with the long hair is Austin Brown and he is the high tenor of the group. Alto and soprano are female voices. If you want to hear him really reach for the stars with his voice, listen to Home Free's version of When a Man Loves a Woman. You will also hear some amazing beat boxing from Adam and of course some incredible harmonies.
Home Fries come hard in a good way! 🤣 Love y'all's reactions to HF! Check out them singing Dire Straits Helplessly Hoping it will blow your minds. No freaking joke! Keep them coming!!! Merry Christmas Guys!!! 😊
Dire Straits - "Brothers in Arms"
Crosby, Stills, & Nash - "Helplessly Hoping"
😘👍 2 of my favorite songs from Home Free!! Wooohooo!
The 3rd one to add would be the Doobie Brothers - "Listen to the Music"!! 😳🤯
If you want a bass extravaganza check out "22 times Tim Foust went subwoofer mode." A "drum solo" from Adam Rupp is a good thing to check out as well!
These guys are so awesome! Tim the bass guy has a 5-octove voice range. Love your reactions!
dave here. love the reaction guys. We were all amazed. You just watched their best arrangement. now for Best cover-End of the Road, Best solo-When a man loves a woman, Best harmonies-Brothers in Arms, My faves: one man band, Mayday (save for later) and Broken Road. And they have numerous humorous choices. Enjoy. it only gets better.
Actually, Chris Rupp and his brother, Adam started the group in 2000. They're the ones related...however, their connection is wonderful to see. You're going to really enjoy this journey, my friends... I'm now subbed for more Home Free and their music community which includes Peter Hollens, Texas Hill, a newly formed group with instruments called Sweet & Low...not to mention the music that Tim Faust (basso profundo) has released an album in which he sings all the parts with his 5+ octave range. Austin Brown has his own RUclips channel with great music. These guys offer so much and are so versatile, anything you choose is going to be awesome. They go from ridiculously funny Butts Medley and Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer to the sublime with Helplessly Hoping and Brothers in Arms. Enjoyed your reaction.... waiting for more.
just subscribed for home free reactions..home fry here..keeping in spirit of christmas check out mary did you know by home free..these guys never disappoint..any genre, welcome to the rabbit hole gentlemen..love your reactions to our guys.
you should react to "OH Holy Night" by them. If you want to really get an idea oh just how crazy the bassist range is check out Tim Foust "Will you Still Love Me/Stay".
You need to see Listen to the Music, when a Man Loves A Woman, Ring of Fire, How Great Thou Art...you will continue to be amazed
The guy in the cap is the brother of the beatboxer. They started the group in 2000 along with their friend Matt Atwood. Home Free was the name of Matt's grandfather's boat and he helped them out financially when they first started. Older brother Chris Rupp left in 2016 for other projects and (Adam) Chance filled the open position. Chris does solo work and also sing with Cypress Fyre. He and his sister Tristin are one half of the a cappella group 7th Ave and they have a very fun version of Uptown Funk. Check out What Child is This by Chris Rupp feat. Home Free. It's the only video I know of where all 6 of 2016's Home Free sing together although Chance shows up as a party-goer in House Party while still with his old group and Chris is seen in the background of their video It Looks Good.
Enjoy the rabbit hole that is Home Free. I have been following them since their win on The Sing Off and have seen them live 3 times. Adam (beatboxer) and the Chris (gone from the group) are the ones that started the group in Minnesota. If you are truly serious about this journey... learn their names, start at the beginning and work your way forward. Listen to The Butts Remix, Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget, the go on to when Chance joined the group and listen to Try Everything, My Church and a few more. Only after those should you even go to Mayday, Brothers In Arms and Helplessly Hoping, not to mention Go Rest High on That Mountain and How Great Thou Art. You have no idea what a real treat you are in for and yes, Home Fries will flock to your channel :)
Home Free videos and songs should come with Public Service Announcement...."Buckle up!, and hold tight! It's going to be a sweet ride" 😁
love me some Home Free ,,,, May want to give Voctave a look also !!
Adam Rupp, co-founder of HF and the awesome beatboxer. Tim Foust, bass. He has a five-octave range. Rob Lundquist (glasses and beard) Tenor Harmony. Austin Brown, Lead Tenor. Adam Chance, Baritone ( goes by Chance). Chance replaced Chris Rupp (co-founder) who left in 2016. To further blow your mind, check out Tim Foust's solo music from his doo wop album. Either, Will You Still Love Me/Stay or Since I Don't Have You. And, in keeping with mind blowing performances, check out Rob Lundquist and Austin Browns opera performance, Nessun Dorma.
You gotta listen to this song with headphones... imo
All their Christmas music is outstanding.....just pick one. And another please! I'm here for it! And New Years, their version of Auld Lang Syne is nothing short of perfect.
Take me home country roads, thinking out loud/ let’s get it on, End of the road , Can’t stop the feeling , Folsom prison blues, moonshine,Dreamer ( old version) and Dreamer (featuring Texas hill ) @ the Ryman.
"What was that?!"
"You heard that! That was the low note!"
Eagerly waiting for your reaction to the REAL low note of this song.... 😂😂
I saw Home Free and had to show up...Love yall's reaction, such enjoyment!
I hope yall went back and listen to them talking at the end, they tell who arranged it and where they shot it.
Vocal excellence
Just read Terry Hall a lead singer of the specials and one third of fun boy three has died at the age of 63 after a short illness.thought you would like to know?
Rip Terry!
A great Adam Rupp arrangement to a traditional song.
Loved your reaction!!!
We home fries love our home free
Everyone shows up for home free!
Fantastic how have i not heard of these before? Fantastic to hear auch wonderful voices. On a slightly different tack if you haven't already then check out the Playing For Change videos - in particular the Yusef/Cat Stevens 'Peace Train' that theyve done or their version of The Weight which also featured Ringo Starr. Both brilliant songs in their own right made even better in these versions.
If you are enjoying this, then you should also check out the other two top groups, Pentatonix and Voice Play. They have different feels to their music respectively but are equally as talented. Have fun learning about acapella.
nice reaction. Love the Crossland part of the MD flag. I am in MD, too Monkey County all my life
Nice! Much love!
Do you really want your minds blown? 🤔 Watch 'Two country singers try to sing OPERA!' !!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Great reaction! 🥰👍
New sub for more Home Free. To hear Tim really go subwoofer...there is a video Tim Foust Subwoofer.. you should check it out. He also has his own channel that will show you his FULL range.
Thank you for the reaction! Since it’s Christmas you might want to check out Angels We Have Heard On High and I’ll Be Home For Christmas. Their harmonies in both as well as the videos themselves are both awesome! ❤️
