That was Adam Rupp - beatboxer/percussionist extraordinaire playing his infamous "nomonica". Adam "Chance" - baritone was making the mouth harp sound. These guys are simply incredible! Hope to see more Home Free reactions! Btw, fans of Home Free are called home fries ----> 🍟😅
Welcome to the best, in my opinion, acapella group out there, although Pentatonix and Voiceplay are also fantastic. Home Free is the only Country all vocal band, they have a wide variety of covers and original material that covers all genres. All sounds are created by voices and they have a "freak of nature" vocal percussionist. The harmonies are unmatched...welcome to the rabbit hole. Austin Brown is the high tenor, Rob Lundquist is a lyrical tenor, Adam Chance is the baritone/bass and was making the mouth harp sound, Tim Foust is the bass with a 5+ octave range and Adam Rupp is the beatboxer legend. In older videos there is Chris Rupp who co-founded the group with his brother Adam. They also won the 4th season of "The Sing Off". All individuals are extremely talented individually and have their own projects...but together it is magic, and they sound the same, if not better, live. Subscribed to follow you on this journey.
LMAO @ HIS BALLS DROPPED! Welcome to Home Free! With 14 albums and over 140 videos for your enjoyment! Top notch vocals and harmony added with some humor in some videos! Home Free fans (refer to each other as "Home Fries") will inform you ladies on the details of the group. It's really a joy... do 6 reactions and you guys will be HOOKED! You guys could do Home Free Fridays.. kick your views on the podcast up 2-5k! peace
Please try other Home free songs! They are a super versatile group!I suggest "My Church" and the" sea Shanty Medley" and "The Butts Remix" to see many sides of Homefree! Enjoy the journey down the Home free rabbit hole!
This song is literally at least 100 years old and was used in the movie O Brother where are thou, the George Clooney movie. I see it looks like you're going to do their "Butts Remix/Medly" next.....get ready ladies to get the giggles :) Later though I'd recommend several of their other covers and originals : (COVER) When a man loves a woman, (ORIGINAL) Understand, (COVER) The Driver, (ORIGINAL) Give me a sign.
Congrats on finding the most incredible acapella group out there, and yes, I'm biased, and yes, they are better than Pentatonix. Don't @ me. You will LOVE going down the Home Free rabbit hole. They do mostly country music covers and originals, but can perform all styles, such as the R&B classic Boys II Men cover of "End of the Road," and the Doobie Brothers' "Listen to the Music." Get ready to be flooded with the Home Fries (Home Free fans) in the comments! Great reaction, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Please react to more!
RUclips was made for Home Free and they have made great use of this platform. Acapella music doesn’t have much of a presence on the AM/FM dial especially the modern genres. Originally HF was started by beatboxed Adam Rupp and his brother Chris. Chris left to do solo work and was replaced by another Adam who goes by his last name Chance differentiating from beatboxer Adam. In the Butts remix you will see Chris wearing a black western style hat. You will also hear the whistling talent of lead tenor Robb. I’m looking forward to seeing your reaction to the Butts. 😂ps: the two previous commenters were just wrong.
@@vvoof2601 I disagree with your first statement. But that is because I totally agree with your second statement. I came here as it was a Home Free reaction and I am a Home Fry. You came here because? (An honest enquiry).
You ladies have just barely scratches the surface of how unbelievably amazing these guys are. The Home Fries (the Home Free fans) are a rampant flock, so watch more & we'll be here for it! 😉🥰🥰
~~ 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 😉 )
Please expect an explosion in your subscribers if you do more Home Free. The only thing that Homefries like better than watching the group is watching newbies react to their amazing videos and trust me you WILL be amazed!
Great reaction, I'm subbing today in hopes of more Home Free videos in the near future. As others have already said, the Home Fries love our HF guys, & if you continue down this Home Free rabbit hole, the Home Fries will flock to your channel. 🍟❤️
Welcome to the rabbit hole known as Home Free. They are my favorite acapella group, and Adam Rupp is a world-class beatboxer. They have a ton of content for you to enjoy. Great reaction.
Love Home Free. They have the best harmonies I’ve ever heard. They lean country but can sing any genre. Amazingly talented men. The beatboxer is incredible. The bass, has a 5 octave range so he can sing super low and then sing up with the tenors. They sing a lot of covers but also write and sing their own music. Their latest album So Long Dixie has 12 originals on it. Try Helplessly Hoping, Brothers in Arms, Give Me A Sign.
Watching your reactions to HOME FREE are great. Need to do more of them. Such a great group of singers. If they ever get close to you, you need to see them in person. They sound just as good live as the studio version.
WirlessMikeDJ gave you a perfect synopsis of the members of Home Free. They are called a country a cappella group, but they cover all genres of music. Their renditions of When A Man Loves A Woman (Percy Sledge/Michael Bolton), Listen To The Music (The Doobie Brothers), and Working For A Living (Huey Lewis and the News) show their R&B and rock n roll chops. Their covers of 2 Johnny Cash songs, Folsom Prison Blues and Ring Of Fire (feat. Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix), are also worth a listen. The looks on your faces when Tim Foust (bass) began soloing was hilarious. 😂 Thanks for the reaction and puff puff pass.✌️
Ladies, loved the commentary. Subbed to see if you decide to go down the Home Free rabbit hole. We Home Fries are always excited to see new reactors discovering our guys. As numerous commenters have already mentioned, Home Free isn't just country, they do numerous genres from country to opera and do them all beautifully. So many exciting surprises ahead for you. Suggestions: "Ring of Fire" Johnny Cash cover. Older video with Chris Rupp, co-founder of HF. No longer with them. "End of The Road" Boyz to Men" cover. "Helplessly Hoping" Crosby, Stills and Nash cover. 5 part harmony. Hauntingly beautiful. "How Great Thou Art" one of the most beautiful renditions of this song I've ever heard, filmed in Austria. "Show Me a Sign" from their Stargazer Trilogy one of their newest and an original. Enjoy the ride, looking forward to more. Thank you.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! These guys are the best acapella group around! It is all done with their voices! Keep checking them out you will never be disappointed. They do not have a bad song! Love your reactions!
Mongolian Throat singing by Chance (back left to your view). For some really pure harmonies, listen to them doing "Helplessly Hoping" or "Do You Hear What I Hear". With a catalogue of over 150, you can satisfy almost any musical taste you have.
Hold my beer when you listen to more Homefree. Helplessly Hoping is a musical hug. Butts Remix will have you laughing. Amazing Grace will take you to church and their Christmas stuff is second to none.
You have just been introduced to the best a cappella group out there. 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 (5 octave range) & their beatboxer vocal percussionist Adam Rupp can simulate any sound (drums, harmonica etc.). 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.
You may have noticed how many Home Free fans saw your video pop up in their recommendation feeds -- mine included! This a cappella vocal band is at the top of the game, and are so, so, so talented! It's easy to forget that there are absolutely NO instruments in their performances (unless visible to the audience)! Your reaction to this was great, and I hope to see you following HF for a long time to come. FYI: Adam Rupp is the unbelievably good beatboxer. Austin Brown is the tenor who had most of the lead; Tim Foust is the bass that has a 5+ octave range. Rob Lunquist is the other tenor lead, and Adam Chance (called "Chance") was baritone and the jaw harp "synthesizer".
I'd confidently recommend most any of Home Free songs and covers. They do many types of songs, from doo-wop to Christmas hymns to modern songs. Really, give their diversity a chance.
nope, not related. There used to be 2 brothers, but one left to follow his own career. Home Free's harmonies are unmatched , not only in a capella, but across the board. Enjoy their DEEP catalog - country, pop, R&B, sacred, silly, patriotic - if you can't find something you like, you aren't trying.
This group was originally started by Adam a Rupp, the beat boxer, and his brother, Chris Rupp. Their bass, Tim Foust, has a 5 octave range. You won’t be disappointed checking out more from this group.
Not only are these guys amazing musicians, they are not "stars," they have a serious sense of humor, and they really like their fans. I'll be back for more Home Free.
Tim Foust is a basso profundo deepest of basses who rattles chairs and ribcages during their concerts and sometimes blowing up sound systems 😅. And... He has an incredible wide range. These guys are extraordinary, down to earth and sing about everything, not just country and just wait for their funny videos like Butts meddley.
If you play more Home Free, us Home Fries will find your channel quickly. We follow the group as well as their individual projects and are a passionate group of supporters. Great reaction!
I'm a Home Fry. I saw them in concert a couple of months ago in Orange, TX. It was a party! Tim is from the Golden Triangle (Beaumont, TX) and he and his brother-in-law boiled crawfish for the group out in the parking lot before the concert. I thought he was going to blow the speakers a couple of times. Check out HF and The Oak Ridge Boys doing Elvira! :-)
If you love music, this is an amazing rabbit hole to go down. Home free sings in several genres and are amazing in all of them. I guarantee that you will like "When a Man Loves a Woman". They have so many other great songs..
Wonderful introduction to your channel for me. Home Free definitely harkens back to the country gospel quartets of decades past. In fact, their mentors are the Oak Ridge Boys whose current lineup has been together for almost 5 decades and are STILL touring. The Oak Ridge Boys, themselves, began as a gospel quartet back in the 1940. The current lineup came together in the mid 1970s. Home Free did a collaboration with them on a cover of the Oaks' biggest hit "Elvira". Two powerful vocal groups blend seamlessly while showing off the talents of the individuals in each group. Well worth the reaction/podcast time.
Good reaction y'all. Home Free is a great rabbit hole for a new channel. Home Free fans are very loyal and they won't copyright you. They truly do have something for everyone but most like all of their stuff.
Great reaction! I'm glad you really noticed the beatboxing. In my opinion, this alone makes Home Free the best a capella group out there. I've seen the performance live and it is an experience. A new subscriber to watch you fall into this rabbit hole.
They filmed this in coastal Alabama, much of which is bayou like the southern part of Louisiana. It started raining during the filming, but they had to get it done, so they kept going - you can see them getting wetter, and occasionally you can see the drips of rain. Everything was produced vocally, including the vinyl record popping at the very beginning. The droning sound was an imitation of a jaw harp (known by various names), which the lady on the right mimed effectively. Chance (dark vest here) does this by Mongolian throat singing, but they use a looper as it is hard on his throat to keep doing it. The rhythmic dop-dops are done by Rob, in the overalls, also extended by using a looper, as it would prevent him from doing his other parts. The looper is also used for the beatbox percussion while Adam Rupp (no beard) does his 'nomonica' solo.
Your first time, huh ladies??? Home Free started in 2000, won the Sing Off in 2013, and are the BEST a capella! What a wonderful and deep rabbit hole. For more harmony, try Helplessly Hoping or How Great Thou Art. They sing all genres.
If you were in choir, your in for a treat. Try Misty Mountains, featuring the Home Free bass, Tim F. and Peter Hollins. This will show you Tim's low range. Then "My Maria" with Tim and Austin Brown (high tenor) which shows Tim's high range. He has a 5 octave capability. Listen to Country Singers Try Opera, this features Austin Brown and Rob Lundquist. Anything else they do is icing on the cake.
This group is amazing, you have so much to look forward to exploring their music. I can't resist recommending "When A Man Loves A Woman", it's one of my favorites.
It's so exciting when I get to see people experience Home Free for the first time, and this is the first song I always direct them to. To follow up, if you are interested, Ring of Fire (ft. Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix), End of the Road (omg the harmonies), and their Butts Remix/Medley (so much silly fun, but still an amazing arrangement). I hope you continue down the path of Home Fry-dom. You don't have to be able to *make* music, to enjoy it - tone deaf unity!
The song was in the song "O Brother Where Art Thou?" However, that also was a cover. This song is over 100 years old and comes out of Appalachia. I think you will enjoy reacting to more of their music. For your next Home Free reactions, I'd suggest The Butts Remix and Ring of Fire. However, you'll find their catalog is deep and worth a dive into. For something different consider Jumpin Jive by Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers. A very old but amazing performance.
Hello, another Coloradoan here, you are going to absolutely fall in love with these guys. They can sing anything, and have. You will love the Butts Medley.
These guys are the best out there. Adam rupp is just insane with his beat boxing. Everyone can sing . You so need to check out "How Great Thou Art" talk about harmonies. And yes, check out the butts remix. Funny as heck. You have. Just went down the rabbit hole with these guys.
Home Free is a phenomenal a cappella group, and they are true gentlemen. Though they come from country roots they work with many genres producing covers and originals. Their covers, while true to the original, are always their own remarkable creations. Don't miss their astounding Christmas music. And for more great a cappella be sure to check out Pentatonix (good friends with Home Free). Both groups won their respective seasons of NBC's "The Sing Off".
Watch the "Drum Solo" with Adam Rupp. Watch "When a Man Loves a Woman" with Austin Brown that was done during the lockdown. Watch "Helplessly Hoping" with baritone Adam Chance singing tenor and being joined by tenor Rob Lundquist in perfect unison. Watch "How Great Thou Art" with beautiful Austrian mountain scenery and for Adam Rupp singing "It is Well" and "With my heart". Watch Cam sing "Mayday" then watch Home Free do it in the same key with bass Tim Foust singing tenor and watch to the end for Chance showing his range!!
Welcome to the Home Free party. Best a capella group out there. A couple of suggestions for your next listen: if you're all about the harmonies, their version of How Great Thou Art is a master class in 5-part harmony. If you're all about the vocal percussion, their cover of the Doobie Brothers classic Listen to the Music will knock your socks off. If you're all about the bass, Your Man is the place to go. Only about 200 more to go. Enjoy the ride!
Get ready to ride the storm which is HOME FREE!!! Your sub base is about to explode💥Home Fries are a loyal and fierce group of fans!!! Great reactions! Many Home Fries would recommend not to react to the Butts Remix until you have heard a few more of their songs! Enjoy the ride young ladies!!! Hello from Texas🤠🤠🤠
Hey y'all love your reaction anything that home free does is amazing. If you like them then may I suggest voiceplay another absolutely amazing Acapella group.
Fun reaction, I'll be looking for more Home Free reactions - can't go wrong with any of their songs. Whatever your mood, you will find something to match it.
I’ve been a huge fan ever since I stumbled across these guys while recovering from shoulder surgery in February 2016. There is absolutely no better acapella group as far as I’m concerned. Welcome to the rabbit hole….it’s wide, deep and so varied! They cover so many genres across the board, they are not strictly country. Tighten your seatbelts, hold on tight and enjoy the adventure!
My two favorite capela groups are VoicePlay and Home Free. The bass from VoicePlay Geoff Castellucci just did a LOW Bass cover of this song. They are both on my playlist. Geoff and Tim's bass voices are amazing.
if you have not done so, please check out Tim Foust (the base fellow) sing a blend of "Will you Still Love Me Tomorrow"/"Stay". If you thought your chins dropped when he did his solo, just wait to hear him in this one. OMG - Amazing!!
Spread the love.😘😂😎🤘🖖... Ok a serious note... The instrument you were trying to think of is called a mouth harp, or jews harp. It's basically a flat piece of metal between a frame that you place your mouth on, then adjust the shape of your mouth (internal and external shape) to produce different tones. Great reaction. Thank you for sharing. 💕 Love y'all.
lol. oh you guys are going to love this ride. Pick a genre, they do it better than the original. For you guys I suggest best solo - When a Man Loves a Woman, Best cover - End of the Road, funniest - we'll go with Butts Remix but many good choices, Best arrangement - Do you hear what i hear (yep xmas but like you've never heard it) and finally couple of faves - One Man Band, Mayday and Bless this Broken Road. And then there are there individual performances. Tim Faust - doo wop album, Austin _ Bring Him Home (amazing)
Caution - Home Free is highly addictive. They sing almost every genre from goofy to gospel. Three of them are song writers so there are lots of originals as well as covers. They don't have a lead singer (they're also ego-free), whomsoever sounds best, sings it regardless if another wrote it. Bonus: They have a world-wide fan base and your subscriptions will rise exponentially with playing them. (One of them just put out a new original song - no video yet - it's had over 25,000 hits in 4 days).
Home free is the best out there. Please more. They never miss on any song. Talent level is high. They can twang and they can remove it. End of the road is a must next from them. I can't seem to find a bad song from them.
Home Free won the 2014 Sing Off and have been around for about 20 years. The members have changed somewhat over the years. I recommend you start the journey with Home Free - 2014 Sing OFF. The beat-boxer is Adam Rupp (MN) (one of the original members of Home Free has won several Beat-Boxer competitions. Rob Lundquist (MN) is a tenor and wears glasses with the great beard. Tim Foust is the bass - yet has a 5 octave range (TX), Austin Brown (GA) is the other tenor - wow what a range. Adam Chance (Chance) (FL) was the latest member taking the place of Chris Rupp (original member of Home Free). They do a lot of covers as well as their original songs - you will not regret the journey. Good job on this reaction.
Well, hi! 'So nice to see a female reactor group, for a change. Yup, I was in school choirs, too, so I love acapella like Home Free and VoicePlay, especially. They all have a beat boxer, now, and act out themes , comedy, any kind of creative performance that strikes them. Fun suggestions: Home Free doing "Hillbilly Bone" and VoicePlay doing "Hoist the Colours".
There are several great acapella groups out thee, next you might want to check out Pentatonix, 3 Grammy Awards, over 5 billion views and won The Sing Off the season before Home Free won the same show. And as to Man of Constant Sorrows, there is a reference By Alexander Graham Bell of recording the folk song in 1880s to 1890s. written records date back to 1795 so it is an OLD folk song. Still Home Free does it some real justice. Now go forth and enjoy and share all the great music from Home Free, Pentatonix, VoicePlay, Voxtive, and the rest.
Subbed for more Home Free! If you decide to go down the rabbit hole into which all of us Home Fries have fallen, we will flock to your channel. Man Of Constant Sorrow was also my introduction to these amazing guys and I have been hooked since. I've seen them live three times, was impressed the first time and am more impressed each time thereafter. I sub to a lot of reactors to HF but there are a select few whose new releases I look forward to. I have a feeling that you three will be joining that list. I really like your style/interaction with each other as well as with the audience. Keep em coming!! Can't wait for the next one! As for suggestions, I have browsed the comments to now and there are several good ones listed. I think for a proper introduction to Austin (high tenor) you might consider When A Man Loves A Woman. For the beatboxer, Adam Rupp, he has several "drum solos" which are phone recordings of live performances so not the best sound quality but my goodness he is amazing and it's well worth checking those out! He always does amazing work in each song, but some songs others have mentioned are Listen To The Music, Elvira... I could list every single song they do to recommend him lol! For Rob (big beard) I'd suggest End Of The Road but I'm sure other HF's will remind me of other songs where he is featured and does a remarkable job. For Chance (jaw harp in Man of Constant Sorrow) maybe Cover Me Up or Some Girls Do. He has such a good baritone voice! For Tim (bass) - wow. So many. He is just an amazing talent. For a constant low melody, Brothers In Arms. But over half of their songs contain at least a note or two of his fire breathing, subwoofer busting explosion. Edit: Side note - in earlier videos (like this one) he has longer hair. He cut his hair during covid so sometimes reactors are confused when they see one or two of their older videos, then see a newer one. The hair cut really changed his appearance but it's still Tim! You might also check out his collaboration with Peter Hollens of Misty Mountains. Listen all the way to the last note... Just one word of advice - save Mayday for some day a bit the road - after you've gotten to know everyone's "normal" role in the group. I gotta stop now or i'll write a book and get kicked off. Enjoy, and thanks so much for this reaction!
This video was filmed on a farm near Fairhope Alabama. As you guys get to view more videos you will find they have some of the most simple backgrounds, not a lot of flash, just vocals. And since 2016 there are no members that are related. This video was made not far from Adam Chance's, the guy doing the mouth harp, home where he grew up.
Great reaction, thanks! Home Free is my absolutely favorite group by a mile; you will discover why if you choose to dig into more of their music. Their amazing harmonies, song choices and personalities are the best! You have received many great suggestions below for additional songs to react to. Since you love pure acapella, a few songs which have particularly stunning 5 part harmony, no beatboxing (Adam Rupp the beatboxer also sings, he has a beautiful voice) a few I would suggest are Helplessly Hoping, Brothers In Arms, How Great Thou Art and Auld Lang Syne. New subscriber hoping for more Home Free!
The instrument you seem to be trying to name is commonly known as a mouth harp, in some circles known as Jew's harp. You should listen to Tim Foust and Peter Hollens doing " Misty Mountain ".
two more pieces to try would be Nessun Dorma (you'll recognize it when you hear it) performed by Rob and Austin (the 2 Tenors of HF) and End of the Road
Just subscribed for your Home Free reactions. Going down the rabbit hole with you. The more Home Free the more subscribers you’ll get. We’ve been known to boost beginning HF reactors to tens of thousands of subscribers in less than a year. ✌️🤗
Some people say it sounds like a mouth harp or didgeridoo. The guy in the back beside the beatboxer did that sound going in and out of the video. The high lead 1 tenor is Austin, the lower tenor (glasses)was Rob, the baritone and guy who also made that sound is Chance, Adam is the beatboxer and Tim is the superbass guy (but he can sing higher as well because he has a 5-octave range)
Another reactor pointed out that Tim Faust, the bass, actually drops an octave when he ends his solo and goes into the harmony slide. I notice it every time now.
That was Adam Rupp - beatboxer/percussionist extraordinaire playing his infamous "nomonica". Adam "Chance" - baritone was making the mouth harp sound. These guys are simply incredible! Hope to see more Home Free reactions! Btw, fans of Home Free are called home fries ----> 🍟😅
1000% Home Fry! Those men are beyond talented 🎉

Yep. Home Free, Pentatonix, and Voice Play are the holy trinity of a capella.
Problem is, they're country. Glad there's choices.
LMAO @ HIS BALLS DROPPED!

Welcome to Home Free. Enjoy your rabbit hole!
Oooo, the rabbit hole has been discovered. PTX, home free, voice play, and voctave. Have fun with all of the ear candy!
You have fallen into the rabbit hole and it goes deep. Everything they do is amazing.
Please try other Home free songs! They are a super versatile group!I suggest "My Church" and the" sea Shanty Medley" and "The Butts Remix" to see many sides of Homefree! Enjoy the journey down the Home free rabbit hole!
The sound at the beginning is a jaw harp, performed by Adam Chance.
This song is literally at least 100 years old and was used in the movie O Brother where are thou, the George Clooney movie. I see it looks like you're going to do their "Butts Remix/Medly" next.....get ready ladies to get the giggles :) Later though I'd recommend several of their other covers and originals : (COVER) When a man loves a woman, (ORIGINAL) Understand, (COVER) The Driver, (ORIGINAL) Give me a sign.
" HIS BALLS DEFINATELY DROPPED" "YEAH" "WAY DOWN THERE" "YEAH" lol Best reaction I've seen, haha!
Congrats on finding the most incredible acapella group out there, and yes, I'm biased, and yes, they are better than Pentatonix. Don't @ me. You will LOVE going down the Home Free rabbit hole. They do mostly country music covers and originals, but can perform all styles, such as the R&B classic Boys II Men cover of "End of the Road," and the Doobie Brothers' "Listen to the Music." Get ready to be flooded with the Home Fries (Home Free fans) in the comments! Great reaction, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Please react to more!
Agreed 💯 percent!❤️
Actually Club For Five is the best, just check out their version of Brothers in Arms.
@@js0988 Actually Voiceplay is the best. We are all correct as musical enjoyment is subjective.
RUclips was made for Home Free and they have made great use of this platform. Acapella music doesn’t have much of a presence on the AM/FM dial especially the modern genres. Originally HF was started by beatboxed Adam Rupp and his brother Chris. Chris left to do solo work and was replaced by another Adam who goes by his last name Chance differentiating from beatboxer Adam. In the Butts remix you will see Chris wearing a black western style hat. You will also hear the whistling talent of lead tenor Robb. I’m looking forward to seeing your reaction to the Butts. 😂ps: the two previous commenters were just wrong.
@@vvoof2601 I disagree with your first statement. But that is because I totally agree with your second statement. I came here as it was a Home Free reaction and I am a Home Fry. You came here because? (An honest enquiry).
You ladies were a trip to watch! Home Free Rules! Try butts remix next, you will love it. Peace from Northern Michigan.
Gary!!! You’re recommendation 👍👍👍👍👍👍 tell us what ya think tomorrow!!
You ladies have just barely scratches the surface of how unbelievably amazing these guys are. The Home Fries (the Home Free fans) are a rampant flock, so watch more & we'll be here for it! 😉🥰🥰
~~ Left to right ~~
-- Rob Lundquist 2nd tenor,/baritone (from Minnesota)

-- Austin Brown lead tenor, (from Georgia now Tennessee)
-- Adam Rupp beatboxer/tenor (4 octaves) (from Minnesota)

Please expect an explosion in your subscribers if you do more Home Free. The only thing that Homefries like better than watching the group is watching newbies react to their amazing videos and trust me you WILL be amazed!
These are bored housewives who have no idea what work is. I hope their channel subducts under the tectonic plates
Facts
Great reaction, I'm subbing today in hopes of more Home Free videos in the near future. As others have already said, the Home Fries love our HF guys, & if you continue down this Home Free rabbit hole, the Home Fries will flock to your channel. 🍟❤️
Welcome to the rabbit hole known as Home Free. They are my favorite acapella group, and Adam Rupp is a world-class beatboxer. They have a ton of content for you to enjoy. Great reaction.
I meet them in person a few years ago they are really good group of guys.
They seem fun!
Love Home Free. They have the best harmonies I’ve ever heard. They lean country but can sing any genre. Amazingly talented men. The beatboxer is incredible. The bass, has a 5 octave range so he can sing super low and then sing up with the tenors. They sing a lot of covers but also write and sing their own music. Their latest album So Long Dixie has 12 originals on it. Try Helplessly Hoping, Brothers in Arms, Give Me A Sign.
These guys are simply the best ... artistically and personally , their harmony is stunning !
Ladies...you are just beginning, so much to listen too! Keep doing Home Free Videos, they will make you laugh , cry , and fall in love with them!
Watching your reactions to HOME FREE are great. Need to do more of them. Such a great group of singers. If they ever get close to you, you need to see them in person. They sound just as good live as the studio version.
WirlessMikeDJ gave you a perfect synopsis of the members of Home Free. They are called a country a cappella group, but they cover all genres of music. Their renditions of When A Man Loves A Woman (Percy Sledge/Michael Bolton), Listen To The Music (The Doobie Brothers), and Working For A Living (Huey Lewis and the News) show their R&B and rock n roll chops. Their covers of 2 Johnny Cash songs, Folsom Prison Blues and Ring Of Fire (feat. Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix), are also worth a listen. The looks on your faces when Tim Foust (bass) began soloing was hilarious. 😂 Thanks for the reaction and puff puff pass.✌️
Dave, I end up finding you on reactions to all the songs I like. Good taste man. And thanks for introducing Home Free to these ladies. It’s been fun.
Ladies, loved the commentary. Subbed to see if you decide to go down the Home Free rabbit hole. We Home Fries are always excited to see new reactors discovering our guys. As numerous commenters have already mentioned, Home Free isn't just country, they do numerous genres from country to opera and do them all beautifully. So many exciting surprises ahead for you.
Suggestions:
"Ring of Fire" Johnny Cash cover. Older video with Chris Rupp, co-founder of HF. No longer with them.
"End of The Road" Boyz to Men" cover.
"Helplessly Hoping" Crosby, Stills and Nash cover. 5 part harmony. Hauntingly beautiful.
"How Great Thou Art" one of the most beautiful renditions of this song I've ever heard, filmed in Austria.
"Show Me a Sign" from their Stargazer Trilogy one of their newest and an original.
Enjoy the ride, looking forward to more. Thank you.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! These guys are the best acapella group around! It is all done with their voices! Keep checking them out you will never be disappointed. They do not have a bad song! Love your reactions!
Welcome to Home Free! The best harmonies ever. New subscriber because of them. Enjoy!
Mongolian Throat singing by Chance (back left to your view). For some really pure harmonies, listen to them doing "Helplessly Hoping" or "Do You Hear What I Hear". With a catalogue of over 150, you can satisfy almost any musical taste you have.
Helplessly hoping is just stunning, but if you like vibe... Elvira with home free and the oakridge boys... Just joyful!
Hold my beer when you listen to more Homefree. Helplessly Hoping is a musical hug. Butts Remix will have you laughing. Amazing Grace will take you to church and their Christmas stuff is second to none.
You have just been introduced to the best a cappella group out there. 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 (5 octave range) & their beatboxer vocal percussionist Adam Rupp can simulate any sound (drums, harmonica etc.). 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.
You may have noticed how many Home Free fans saw your video pop up in their recommendation feeds -- mine included! This a cappella vocal band is at the top of the game, and are so, so, so talented! It's easy to forget that there are absolutely NO instruments in their performances (unless visible to the audience)! Your reaction to this was great, and I hope to see you following HF for a long time to come. FYI: Adam Rupp is the unbelievably good beatboxer. Austin Brown is the tenor who had most of the lead; Tim Foust is the bass that has a 5+ octave range. Rob Lunquist is the other tenor lead, and Adam Chance (called "Chance") was baritone and the jaw harp "synthesizer".
I'd confidently recommend most any of Home Free songs and covers. They do many types of songs, from doo-wop to Christmas hymns to modern songs. Really, give their diversity a chance.
nope, not related. There used to be 2 brothers, but one left to follow his own career. Home Free's harmonies are unmatched , not only in a capella, but across the board. Enjoy their DEEP catalog - country, pop, R&B, sacred, silly, patriotic - if you can't find something you like, you aren't trying.
💯💯💯💯💯
This group was originally started by Adam a Rupp, the beat boxer, and his brother, Chris Rupp. Their bass, Tim Foust, has a 5 octave range. You won’t be disappointed checking out more from this group.
I just found y’all out but at least one person speaks sign language here. Nice kudos
Not only are these guys amazing musicians, they are not "stars," they have a serious sense of humor, and they really like their fans. I'll be back for more Home Free.
Chance is mimicking a mouth harp (sounds like a didgeridoo), used in many bluegrass songs. It is made by a throat singing technique i am told,
A Mongolian technique.
Tim Foust is a basso profundo deepest of basses who rattles chairs and ribcages during their concerts and sometimes blowing up sound systems 😅. And... He has an incredible wide range. These guys are extraordinary, down to earth and sing about everything, not just country and just wait for their funny videos like Butts meddley.
If you play more Home Free, us Home Fries will find your channel quickly. We follow the group as well as their individual projects and are a passionate group of supporters. Great reaction!
Thanks!!!!! We love them!!!!❤❤❤
Best comment in any Home Free reaction video..."his balls definitely dropped" Thank you for that belly laugh!
Love our Home Free guys! Thanks for checking them out and hoping for more, so many songs to choose from
I'm a Home Fry. I saw them in concert a couple of months ago in Orange, TX. It was a party! Tim is from the Golden Triangle (Beaumont, TX) and he and his brother-in-law boiled crawfish for the group out in the parking lot before the concert. I thought he was going to blow the speakers a couple of times. Check out HF and The Oak Ridge Boys doing Elvira! :-)
If you love music, this is an amazing rabbit hole to go down. Home free sings in several genres and are amazing in all of them. I guarantee that you will like "When a Man Loves a Woman". They have so many other great songs..
Wonderful introduction to your channel for me. Home Free definitely harkens back to the country gospel quartets of decades past. In fact, their mentors are the Oak Ridge Boys whose current lineup has been together for almost 5 decades and are STILL touring. The Oak Ridge Boys, themselves, began as a gospel quartet back in the 1940. The current lineup came together in the mid 1970s. Home Free did a collaboration with them on a cover of the Oaks' biggest hit "Elvira". Two powerful vocal groups blend seamlessly while showing off the talents of the individuals in each group. Well worth the reaction/podcast time.
Good reaction y'all. Home Free is a great rabbit hole for a new channel. Home Free fans are very loyal and they won't copyright you. They truly do have something for everyone but most like all of their stuff.
Great reaction! I'm glad you really noticed the beatboxing. In my opinion, this alone makes Home Free the best a capella group out there. I've seen the performance live and it is an experience. A new subscriber to watch you fall into this rabbit hole.
“His balls definitely dropped.” 😂 4:41
Wait till you do more Home Free videos because Tim the bass is actually 5+ octave greatness! 😂 Your mouth will drop open! Smile 😊
They filmed this in coastal Alabama, much of which is bayou like the southern part of Louisiana. It started raining during the filming, but they had to get it done, so they kept going - you can see them getting wetter, and occasionally you can see the drips of rain.
Everything was produced vocally, including the vinyl record popping at the very beginning. The droning sound was an imitation of a jaw harp (known by various names), which the lady on the right mimed effectively. Chance (dark vest here) does this by Mongolian throat singing, but they use a looper as it is hard on his throat to keep doing it. The rhythmic dop-dops are done by Rob, in the overalls, also extended by using a looper, as it would prevent him from doing his other parts. The looper is also used for the beatbox percussion while Adam Rupp (no beard) does his 'nomonica' solo.
Your first time, huh ladies??? Home Free started in 2000, won the Sing Off in 2013, and are the BEST a capella! What a wonderful and deep rabbit hole.
For more harmony, try Helplessly Hoping or How Great Thou Art.
They sing all genres.
If you were in choir, your in for a treat. Try Misty Mountains, featuring the Home Free bass, Tim F. and Peter Hollins. This will show you Tim's low range. Then "My Maria" with Tim and Austin Brown (high tenor) which shows Tim's high range. He has a 5 octave capability. Listen to Country Singers Try Opera, this features Austin Brown and Rob Lundquist. Anything else they do is icing on the cake.
This group is amazing, you have so much to look forward to exploring their music. I can't resist recommending "When A Man Loves A Woman", it's one of my favorites.
Welcome to HOME FREE! For mind blowing harmony, check out their cover of HELPLESSY HOPING! I really believe you'll love it!
The guy leading off is Austin Brown, lyric tenor, Rob in overalls is tenor 2
It's so exciting when I get to see people experience Home Free for the first time, and this is the first song I always direct them to. To follow up, if you are interested, Ring of Fire (ft. Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix), End of the Road (omg the harmonies), and their Butts Remix/Medley (so much silly fun, but still an amazing arrangement). I hope you continue down the path of Home Fry-dom. You don't have to be able to *make* music, to enjoy it - tone deaf unity!
The song was in the song "O Brother Where Art Thou?" However, that also was a cover. This song is over 100 years old and comes out of Appalachia. I think you will enjoy reacting to more of their music. For your next Home Free reactions, I'd suggest The Butts Remix and Ring of Fire. However, you'll find their catalog is deep and worth a dive into. For something different consider Jumpin Jive by Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers. A very old but amazing performance.
This “butts” that I keep reading in the comments definitely has to be one we react to soon!
Hello, another Coloradoan here, you are going to absolutely fall in love with these guys. They can sing anything, and have. You will love the Butts Medley.
These guys are the best out there. Adam rupp is just insane with his beat boxing. Everyone can sing . You so need to check out "How Great Thou Art" talk about harmonies. And yes, check out the butts remix. Funny as heck. You have. Just went down the rabbit hole with these guys.
This song was originally written around 1914.
Dang Ladies I thought you were three BLIND ladies reacting. Great video reaction.
Home Free is a phenomenal a cappella group, and they are true gentlemen. Though they come from country roots they work with many genres producing covers and originals. Their covers, while true to the original, are always their own remarkable creations. Don't miss their astounding Christmas music. And for more great a cappella be sure to check out Pentatonix (good friends with Home Free). Both groups won their respective seasons of NBC's "The Sing Off".
Yall just stepped off the ledge ...... and don't know it yet!!!! :) Gonna be so good!!! Be Safe
Watch the "Drum Solo" with Adam Rupp. Watch "When a Man Loves a Woman" with Austin Brown that was done during the lockdown. Watch "Helplessly Hoping" with baritone Adam Chance singing tenor and being joined by tenor Rob Lundquist in perfect unison. Watch "How Great Thou Art" with beautiful Austrian mountain scenery and for Adam Rupp singing "It is Well" and "With my heart". Watch Cam sing "Mayday" then watch Home Free do it in the same key with bass Tim Foust singing tenor and watch to the end for Chance showing his range!!
Welcome to the Home Free party. Best a capella group out there. A couple of suggestions for your next listen: if you're all about the harmonies, their version of How Great Thou Art is a master class in 5-part harmony. If you're all about the vocal percussion, their cover of the Doobie Brothers classic Listen to the Music will knock your socks off. If you're all about the bass, Your Man is the place to go. Only about 200 more to go. Enjoy the ride!
Get ready to ride the storm which is HOME FREE!!! Your sub base is about to explode💥Home Fries are a loyal and fierce group of fans!!! Great reactions! Many Home Fries would recommend not to react to the Butts Remix until you have heard a few more of their songs! Enjoy the ride young ladies!!! Hello from Texas🤠🤠🤠
Hey y'all love your reaction anything that home free does is amazing. If you like them then may I suggest voiceplay another absolutely amazing Acapella group.
On list to watch!
I always laugh at reactors being astounded over the harmonica sound when his drum sounds are the true prize 😊
Fun reaction, I'll be looking for more Home Free reactions - can't go wrong with any of their songs. Whatever your mood, you will find something to match it.
I’ve been a huge fan ever since I stumbled across these guys while recovering from shoulder surgery in February 2016. There is absolutely no better acapella group as far as I’m concerned. Welcome to the rabbit hole….it’s wide, deep and so varied! They cover so many genres across the board, they are not strictly country. Tighten your seatbelts, hold on tight and enjoy the adventure!
My two favorite capela groups are VoicePlay and Home Free. The bass from VoicePlay Geoff Castellucci just did a LOW Bass cover of this song. They are both on my playlist. Geoff and Tim's bass voices are amazing.
if you have not done so, please check out Tim Foust (the base fellow) sing a blend of "Will you Still Love Me Tomorrow"/"Stay". If you thought your chins dropped when he did his solo, just wait to hear him in this one. OMG - Amazing!!
Spread the love.😘😂😎🤘🖖...
Ok a serious note... The instrument you were trying to think of is called a mouth harp, or jews harp. It's basically a flat piece of metal between a frame that you place your mouth on, then adjust the shape of your mouth (internal and external shape) to produce different tones. Great reaction. Thank you for sharing. 💕 Love y'all.
These guys may as well be related
They are a very cohesive bunch of guys that really enjoy working together.
Dont stop now, do more blind reactions to more of their songs, you will be amazed. The talents of all the members is utterly amazing.
Welcome to a DEEP rabbit hole! Y’all are definitely soon to be Home Fries!
lol. oh you guys are going to love this ride. Pick a genre, they do it better than the original. For you guys I suggest best solo - When a Man Loves a Woman, Best cover - End of the Road, funniest - we'll go with Butts Remix but many good choices, Best arrangement - Do you hear what i hear (yep xmas but like you've never heard it) and finally couple of faves - One Man Band, Mayday and Bless this Broken Road. And then there are there individual performances. Tim Faust - doo wop album, Austin _ Bring Him Home (amazing)
I’m subbing today for more Home Free reactions. In my opinion, the best acapella group. Jump on board and become one of us Home Fries!!
Caution - Home Free is highly addictive. They sing almost every genre from goofy to gospel. Three of them are song writers so there are lots of originals as well as covers. They don't have a lead singer (they're also ego-free), whomsoever sounds best, sings it regardless if another wrote it. Bonus: They have a world-wide fan base and your subscriptions will rise exponentially with playing them. (One of them just put out a new original song - no video yet - it's had over 25,000 hits in 4 days).
Welcome to Home Fry Nation. An incredible Rabbit hole to discover.
Home free is the best out there. Please more. They never miss on any song. Talent level is high. They can twang and they can remove it. End of the road is a must next from them. I can't seem to find a bad song from them.
Subbed for more Home Free please x Wait until you hear Tim really hit a low note 😁
Home Free won the 2014 Sing Off and have been around for about 20 years. The members have changed somewhat over the years. I recommend you start the journey with Home Free - 2014 Sing OFF. The beat-boxer is Adam Rupp (MN) (one of the original members of Home Free has won several Beat-Boxer competitions. Rob Lundquist (MN) is a tenor and wears glasses with the great beard. Tim Foust is the bass - yet has a 5 octave range (TX), Austin Brown (GA) is the other tenor - wow what a range. Adam Chance (Chance) (FL) was the latest member taking the place of Chris Rupp (original member of Home Free). They do a lot of covers as well as their original songs - you will not regret the journey. Good job on this reaction.
Well, hi! 'So nice to see a female reactor group, for a change. Yup, I was in school choirs, too, so I love acapella like Home Free and VoicePlay, especially. They all have a beat boxer, now, and act out themes , comedy, any kind of creative performance that strikes them. Fun suggestions: Home Free doing "Hillbilly Bone" and VoicePlay doing "Hoist the Colours".
Hell yea this is awesome.
You guys are great. Funny
There are several great acapella groups out thee, next you might want to check out Pentatonix, 3 Grammy Awards, over 5 billion views and won The Sing Off the season before Home Free won the same show. And as to Man of Constant Sorrows, there is a reference By Alexander Graham Bell of recording the folk song in 1880s to 1890s. written records date back to 1795 so it is an OLD folk song. Still Home Free does it some real justice. Now go forth and enjoy and share all the great music from Home Free, Pentatonix, VoicePlay, Voxtive, and the rest.
Subbed for more Home Free! If you decide to go down the rabbit hole into which all of us Home Fries have fallen, we will flock to your channel. Man Of Constant Sorrow was also my introduction to these amazing guys and I have been hooked since. I've seen them live three times, was impressed the first time and am more impressed each time thereafter.
I sub to a lot of reactors to HF but there are a select few whose new releases I look forward to. I have a feeling that you three will be joining that list. I really like your style/interaction with each other as well as with the audience. Keep em coming!! Can't wait for the next one!
As for suggestions, I have browsed the comments to now and there are several good ones listed.
I think for a proper introduction to Austin (high tenor) you might consider When A Man Loves A Woman.
For the beatboxer, Adam Rupp, he has several "drum solos" which are phone recordings of live performances so not the best sound quality but my goodness he is amazing and it's well worth checking those out! He always does amazing work in each song, but some songs others have mentioned are Listen To The Music, Elvira... I could list every single song they do to recommend him lol!
For Rob (big beard) I'd suggest End Of The Road but I'm sure other HF's will remind me of other songs where he is featured and does a remarkable job.
For Chance (jaw harp in Man of Constant Sorrow) maybe Cover Me Up or Some Girls Do. He has such a good baritone voice!
For Tim (bass) - wow. So many. He is just an amazing talent. For a constant low melody, Brothers In Arms. But over half of their songs contain at least a note or two of his fire breathing, subwoofer busting explosion. Edit: Side note - in earlier videos (like this one) he has longer hair. He cut his hair during covid so sometimes reactors are confused when they see one or two of their older videos, then see a newer one. The hair cut really changed his appearance but it's still Tim! You might also check out his collaboration with Peter Hollens of Misty Mountains. Listen all the way to the last note...
Just one word of advice - save Mayday for some day a bit the road - after you've gotten to know everyone's "normal" role in the group.
I gotta stop now or i'll write a book and get kicked off. Enjoy, and thanks so much for this reaction!
Go down the rabbit hole of Home Free...a few suggestions are Ring of Fire,Helplessly Hoping will blow your mind and Folsom Prison Blues. Have fun
You win the award for best comment ever on Tim...His balls definitely dropped, haha!
Yeah they did 😂😂
Please go down this rabbit hole they do other kinds of music but they are country base
This video was filmed on a farm near Fairhope Alabama. As you guys get to view more videos you will find they have some of the most simple backgrounds, not a lot of flash, just vocals. And since 2016 there are no members that are related. This video was made not far from Adam Chance's, the guy doing the mouth harp, home where he grew up.
Home Free is amazing!!
Great reaction, thanks! Home Free is my absolutely favorite group by a mile; you will discover why if you choose to dig into more of their music. Their amazing harmonies, song choices and personalities are the best! You have received many great suggestions below for additional songs to react to. Since you love pure acapella, a few songs which have particularly stunning 5 part harmony, no beatboxing (Adam Rupp the beatboxer also sings, he has a beautiful voice) a few I would suggest are Helplessly Hoping, Brothers In Arms, How Great Thou Art and Auld Lang Syne. New subscriber hoping for more Home Free!
Ladies welcome to the rabbit hole. These guys are amazing and just as good live. Pick anything they do and it's fire 🔥
The instrument you seem to be trying to name is commonly known as a mouth harp, in some circles known as Jew's harp. You should listen to Tim Foust and Peter Hollens doing " Misty Mountain ".
Geoff Castelluci has recently done a bass singer cover of this song, which is equally fabulous
I’ll subscribe for now, waiting on more Home Free.
two more pieces to try would be Nessun Dorma (you'll recognize it when you hear it) performed by Rob and Austin (the 2 Tenors of HF) and End of the Road
Just subscribed for your Home Free reactions. Going down the rabbit hole with you. The more Home Free the more subscribers you’ll get. We’ve been known to boost beginning HF reactors to tens of thousands of subscribers in less than a year. ✌️🤗
Some people say it sounds like a mouth harp or didgeridoo. The guy in the back beside the beatboxer did that sound going in and out of the video. The high lead 1 tenor is Austin, the lower tenor (glasses)was Rob, the baritone and guy who also made that sound is Chance, Adam is the beatboxer and Tim is the superbass guy (but he can sing higher as well because he has a 5-octave range)
Another reactor pointed out that Tim Faust, the bass, actually drops an octave when he ends his solo and goes into the harmony slide. I notice it every time now.
