Brothers In Arms is a good one to check out. Tim Foust the bass singer is from Texas and he has a 5 octave range and I think it’s more than that😍Austin Brown the tenor is from Georgia that is why you hear that southern twang❤️❤️
Once the very go to song and deserved signature song of Pentatonix ..... UNTIL this was released ..... a few years ago - NOW THEE HALLMARK, HIGH WATER MARK & MARK IT DOWN YOU ALL, the Best singing in praise to the Lord, the Christ & The Virgin Mother !!! [Mary] Just so great. The normal work of Darren Rust was this time THAT OF ADAM RUPP [Beat Boxer] .... Tenor and brilliant concept Arranger !!! Kudos to all and God bless them, these merry gentlemen ! Sing on good Sirs. jj
Tim is a Texan so he does have a bit of a country "twang" that I love. I was glad to see him open this one. This is really a beautiful arrangement and, as in all their music, they've given it their own special sound. It's so much fun to watch you discover the unique talent of these amazing vocal groups.
I believe Tim also recorded Country music prior to joining Home Free. I know I've seen videos, maybe on his personal RUclips channel, where he's singing with a band.
@@KrissiCreates He did, then we went away from it and swore he wan't going to go back to Country...but when trying out for the Sing Off, they submitted a country genre song, as well as others, and the producers approached them and asked them what they felt about being a "Country" acapella group...the ONLY country acapella group on the show...and that would almost guarantee them a spot on the show...and the rest is histroy. Tim does have his own musical interests and released a Doo-Wop genre album with some amazing range of vocals.
I love this song & this is probably the best version I've ever heard. If you want something that's a little more fun, check out their latest release, "What Christmas Means to Me" (cover of a Stevie Wonder song). Enjoy your enthusiasm in your reactions!
I see where someone posted a link to a video of one of Adam's "Drum Solos" from several years ago. This video was made at a show about 3 weeks ago - I was at this show (but I didn't make the video). As you can see he encountered some technical difficulties with the looping machine but just rolled with it. (BTW, I was in the "3" group. It was kinda funny because he said "Everyone say [series of Adam sounds] THREE.". We all hesitated for just a second, and then, just as if we'd rehearsed it, everyone said, "THREE" in unison- without the noises.) The video quality isn't all that great, but the audio is pretty good. ruclips.net/video/uPSetY8-Ly8/видео.html
Check out Snow Globe, an original by Home Free. Tim will blow your mind! And its another Christmas song! Tim Foust co-wrote Snow Globe with Keelan Donovan
I never heard of this song until PTX sang it. Being a Home Free fan I think they really put their spin on it. Loved it. Home Free has their own label. PTX is a bit more theatrical in a lot of their performances. Not that Home Free arrangements are simple but they can just sit on stools or stand in a field and sound amazing.
Brother, you need to see their silly side. Home Free re;eased a cover of Stevie Wonder's 1967 hit "What Christmas means to me? It's upbeat R&B, and the guys just take it to another silliness level...but the music is GREAt...let the video run all the way to end, don't be too hasty to cut it off....you'll see what I mean. After Christmas, I gotta get you on a Chance led song or two...so you can really appreciate this man & all he does for Home Free
Home Free's original company tends to restrict/block videos, but now that the guys aren't using them anymore, they encourage reactors to spread the love for their songs, so you won't see as many restrictions on their newer releases.
Would love to see your reaction to "What Christmas Means To Me" by Home Free, it's the lighter side of Home Free. Home Free produces their own videos so there shouldn't be much of a problem doing reactions to them. Loved the expressions on your face as the song progressed! Home Free is professional and exacting in everything they do but have a certain approachability to them that endears them to all of us Home Fries. Adam Rupp's unbelievable beat boxing adds the finishing touch to every Home Free song, when he isn't beat boxing he sings also, depends on the song. Again, thank you for the beautiful reaction and a very Merry Christmas.
@@larryshair The guys have their own label now they wanted freedom to make their own song choices / artistic choices so anything you react to from Dive Bar Saints and later wont be blocked because the like reactors as much as the fries do
As u said after the Christmas run.... Consider home frees version of the old Motown classic .... When a man loves a woman. Austin pulls out all the vocal stops . It's amazing what he can do.
The bass (Tim Foust) is from Texas; the high tenor (Austin Brown) is from Georgia and spent years (on a music scholarship) trying to nullify his accent.
This my favorite acapella group. They respect the song and don't play it up with tricks. It is beauty incarnate. As far as not blocking, Austin-the high tenor- has taken the time to thank the reactors.
amazed at how much this song has been done. I remember when it was brand new. One of the writers Jeff was so hopefully people would like it. It was written on a Gathier tour bus.
Beautiful song, made for these guys. Love the perfect harmonies of Home Free. The beginning of Tim is so beautiful. Someone once compared it to dark liquid chocolate, fantastic. It's also always fascinating how the guys can switch roles. Chance is great with his bass line. And Adam's beatboxing is out of this world. Great reaction, thanks!
You could be a Pentafry, which are fans who love both Home free and PTX and I think they have good taste in music because both are great and you don't have to pit them against one another as many try to, it's ok to like them both,
Thank you so much!! I was really hoping you would react to this gorgeous version! My father was a classical tenor, so I prefer the male voice, which is what puts Home Free above PTX for me, but both are amazing! PTX is signed to a big record label, so they really get blocked . Home Free has been independent for a while and have always humbly thanked reactors and Fans for the support , I don’t think they attempt to block much. I enjoy your channel and am so glad I found it. I hope you and your family have wonderful holidays!🤗❤️
I know that last year, at least, you were partial to PTX, but your reactions to Home Free's Christmas offerings show that you know how good they are! Home Free has always been my favorite, considering their harmonies to be more balanced, more mid-range parts to bridge the very lows and very highs of their arrangements. Those southern accents only warm up the musicality -- never a negative in my mind. So, I'm revisiting a few of your reactions from last year. Still enjoyable, thank you for loving this!
Home Free is very friendly to reactors. Check out Ain’t No Sunshine on Austin’s (Brown) personal channel. After the video fades to black he comes on and speaks directly to reactors. Chances are any problems that you’ve had have been on older recordings. They left a label and that company can be petty because of it.
Tim Foust (Basso Profundo) is from Gulf Coast Texas, Adam Chance (also bass and baritone (he's the bass in this song)) is from Alabama and Austin Brown (high tenor) is from Georgia. Adam Rupp (beat-boxer) and Rob Lundquist (tenor) are "those Yanks" from Minnesota.
Tim Foust is the one that, took the lead at the beginning. If you want to get a sample of his vocal range. Check out Snow Globe which, he cowrote with Keelan Donovan.
Well not much to say except there harmonies are just on piont 🤩 And yes Adam has a drum solo thats about 5 minutes long he just doesn't do drums does other stuff wish you would react he's in a league all by himself glad you enjoy them
Thank you for the reaction. Others have linked to Adam's "drum solo", even though it is older has great audio. If you can, please listen to their version of Auld Lang Syne. I call it my "warm blanket sitting by a fireplace" version! How Great Thou Art and Go Rest High on that Mountain are also amazing. With two from Minnesota, and the other 3 from Texas, Georgia and Alabama...yeah, some country undertones, lol. Thanks again Sir.
Great reaction as usual. I love your body language and facial expressions. Home Free has a comic side to them . Do yourself a favor and check out Full of Cheer, Grandma got ran over by a Reindeer. If you're done reacting to Christmas songs Butt Remix is good for a laugh. Adam Rupp does have many Drum Solos out they are not short probably around 5 mins or so. Tim Foust is the Bass/baritone/ tenor singer Tim is from South Texas, Chance back left is baritone/bass/tenor he has 4 octave range. Chanceis from Alabama, Rob glasses/beard lead Tenor. He's from Minnesota, Austin high tenor is from Georgia. Adam is from Minnesota. There is a live show of Tim's range In Morris Illinois singing Your Man . He blows out the speakers.
So, you've discovered PTX and Home Free... but there's actually a trifecta of world class a capella groups, and the third leg is Voice Play. They are kind of the 'theater geeks' of the 3 groups. They recently released an incredible Wicked Medley, and before that an EPIC Hoist the Colours (from Pirates of the Caribbean). Many more great videos/songs, as well.
Watch Workin' for a Livin'. You will get a front seat to Adam's world-class harmonica rendition. Mind-boggling. You'll see another side to these boys, too.
The beatboxer, Adam Rupp, does a solo at every concert so you could just look for Adam Rupp Drum Solo and find quite a few. The bass singer, Tim Foust, recently released a totally solo, all a capella DooWop album and has a video for the first song if you are interested. I really do appreciate how you look at the arrangement and voices rather than they do country songs. They lean towards country but they do a bit of everything. Thank you.
I love Homefree and their version of this song but if you really want to blow your senses out of the water listen to Voctave's version of Mary did you know and to top it all Mark Lowry the author of this song performs the lead in their rendition and it is absolutely stunning.
The guy you called the lead singer and how he was ending his notes on the down side is Tim Foust is a basso profundo and yes he is country, from Southeast Texas. He has a 5+ range from A0 to not sure exactly how high! I'll check into that and get back to you! I do know that he sings tenor frequently. Check him out on this one in your private time " COME GO WITH ME " It's different and very special! Not Christmas but so fun and a real vibe!!! For Adam Rupp the beatboxer/vocal percussionist try his " ADAM RUPP LIVE SOLO IN CONCERT" Start with 2015/16 red flannel shirt then more recent apprx 2017/2019 to see his progression! Some Home Free official videos that shows some of his talent are "ELVIRA" Home Free ft The Oak Ridge Boy's " WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN" cover of Percy Sledge " TRY EVERYTHING" cover of Shakira " GOD BLESS THE USA " ft Lee Greenwood and the Singing Sargent's of the USAF " ONLY IN AMERICA " cover of Brooks and Dunn " MY COUNTRY TIS OF THEE " So very many! I'm sure the Home Fries will suggest more, I trust them!
@Cavamom O my goodness yes, you are so right on that! I don't think there is a more beautiful Tim song than that one. As far as beauty, romantic and making a lady weak in the knees that one has no comparison! Makes me cry everytime I hear it just from the beauty of his voice! Plus it shows his range and how flexible he slides up and down the music scale. I really love him and I know you do too! We are such Fousters! Along with so many other's!❤️☺️🤭
This has been a favorite song of mine since Mark Lowry wrote it many years ago and sang it while he was singing with a gospel group The Gaithers. I’d love his reaction on these two groups singing it. He knows and loves harmony so I know he would love both versions. Thanks for the great reaction. Both groups are so excellent and sing equally well but different. I know someone will give you the link to Adam Rupp’s drum solo. You will love it and want to react as we will want to hear. ❤️
Chance, tshirt, opposite Adam, is doing the bass support. such mellow bass has grown under Tim's teaching. watch for several slides to your toenails toward the end! not Tim but Chance!! also, no professional jealousy, but lending a hand up to each other!
Welcome to not only being a pentaholic but to being a home Fry it's a wonderful rabbit hole to dive down. Some of my favorite home Free songs include sea shanty medley the butts remix and if you really want to explore why most of us in Texas are convinced that Tim foust is a dragon Peter hollens and Tim foust Misty mountains there is also one out there with Chris rupp who was one of the originating members of the group and has moved on with Tim doing long black train both are spectacular
I agree with you. The first time I heard this I had the idea that some lines were sad referring to what would happen. “Would soon deliver you” made me think of the crucifixion.
Thank you for reacting to this amazing version of this beautiful song! Adam & Chance put the icing on the cake! By the way, it is NOT Home Free that blocks the videos! The winding down of the beautiful Christmas music including all of the fun ones Home Free have is really sad to me. I've enjoyed every second of all the reactions especially the ones who appreciate these guys' incredible talent to make their songs so rich & full that you have to stop & realize there aren't any instruments backing them up! As for the "twang", Tim, Austin & Chance are all from the deep south! You might can take us Southerners out of the South, but you'll never take the South out of the Southerners!😊 Merry Christmas to all!
@ USMADGIRL That deserves a big AMEN! I'm proud of my country twang! Grew up about an hour from Austin's hometown in South Georgia and still live near there ( only I'm even farther south now than I was then at beautiful Lake Seminole. Farthest south county in Georgia (Seminole) Only I mile from the Chattahoochee River!
Yessss great reaction as always. Wow. Just wow is enough for that. Home Free slap me hard with this one. I can't choose between HF's and PTX's versions they are so strong in their own way but this...is beyond spectacular. I want to go see this group live. They were supposed to come in Montreal last September ( my hometown) but due to freaking covid I just don't know if they will ever come someday. I am in love with Adam the beatboxer. What he does is unbelievable. This group really surprised me because they master every genre of music. They are really good with RnB. Try " End of the road" Rob will slap you in the face. Really unexpected. Again I just love how blown away you always look at 10:58 10:47 is absolutely impressive by Tim. You look like a proud dad of his sons 😁.
I am a huge Home Free fan and agree that this is a beautiful arrangement. You should listen to this song by Voctave and the song's composer Mark Lowry.
Fantastic reaction, as usual. Adam Rupp has several "drum solos", done during their concerts. You should watch the oldest one and then the newer ones. His talent goes from fantastic to out of this world, in terms of progression. This version is my absolute favorite. Instead of high voice versions , Home Free keeps it low and succinct. Melancholy is one way it could be construed. I feel like it's solemn and respectful. I hope you can react to their auld Lang syne video before New years eve. It's a beautiful rendition. 💞
Tim the bass is from Southeast Texas. Austin (long hair) is from Georgia. And Adam Chance far left is from Alabama. The other 2 guys are from Minnesota. You need to check out the beatboxers solo from a live concert. Thanks for your reaction to this song.
When you're done with the Christmas songs, which I love btw. Home Free does Johnny Cash Ring of Fire with former Pentatonix bass Avi Kaplan. Check it out.
Great reaction, Larry I think your now officially a Home Fry. Home Free dropped 2 new Christmas songs in the last week and half. First an original CHRISTMAS AIN’T FOR THE LONELY and a Stevie Wonder cover WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME. both are great. Adam Rupps drum solos ( there are few different version) all tend to be 7 to 9 minutes long and shows off more than just drum skills, prepare to be amazed. Your and your family have a Merry Christmas and God’s blessing for next year.
Diana Dickerson for 1 time siden Need to ask all homefries to go to taste of country top 10 music videos and vote to keep them in 1st place for Brothers in Arms. Thank you for the great reactions! Thanks to giving the guys first place, please vote, voting end tomorrow at noon
Adam Rupp is a fabulous Freak of Nature! I was so happy when HF came out with this. I had this and the PTX version on repeat for weeks. I love these two groups so much! And add VoicePlay for the perfect trifecta. Oh life is so good with these three groups in our lives!!!
Ah well, I made the mistake of checking your channel before calling it a night, so my yawns are my own fault! Infectious reaction, again, Chris - and, you have some good ears on you! My best wishes for you and yours for a happy and peaceful Yuletide, with plenty of music from your expanded playlist. Well, for after Christmas I would love some of Home Free’s fun videos, please. “Honey, I’m Good” is an all time favourite; just because it’s fun doesn’t mean they sacrifice any quality! - oh, no! And I’m sure some other Fry will point you towards the best video(s) of Adam’s beatboxing. 🥁🎄
Thank you for the reaction video It was very well done. Things to keep in mind: While Tim Foust, the bass, was singing, Adam Chance (Chance), the baritone/bass on the far left was carrying the bass the whole time. Adam Rupp, the beatboxer has a stage solo introduced by Tim. The whole solo performance is about 7 minutes long and you can do a reaction about it, mainly because we want to see your jaw drop. You can find it easily by typing in -----Adam Rupp drum solo. ----------It should be the first one that comes up in a red flannel shirt.
The song was written by Mark Lowry, who has deep roots in southern gospel music, so to me, Tim's voice fits it more perfectly than more pop-influenced performances. YMMV, but enjoy whatever you like however you like it!
Chris, you've become a new Home Fry! I'm proud of your open-mindedness! That's one thing about HF. They want their fans to enjoy their music and have actually stated they enjoy it when reactors chose their songs to react to! Good for them!
Adam Rupp doesn’t do anything for 30 seconds😌 He had quite a few beatboxing ones on here but you can see his drum solo which is I think is one of his older ones but shows his talent😍
there are several Adam Rupp drum solo videos on YT. I guarantee when you watch them, your jaw will drop and the first word out of your mouth will be "What?!" Seeing your reaction will be epic.
One thing you will soon notice about Home Free is their commitment to social issues. After the holidays music has been explored I hope you take the time to listen to all the important things that Home Free addressed in their videos. Also, note how careful they are to fit the visuals to the lyrics and music. Wishing you a blessed Christmas season and all the best for 2022 and beyond.
So stunning! Beautiful. Gave me chills too. Their harmonies are tremendous. Adam killed the beatboxing and Chance with those low notes. Chance will fill in for Tim at bass when Tim is singing. Did you hear the growl at the end of “I am”? So good. Loved the video too, just a serene scene with the manger and the stars. If you get tired of Christmas music try Helplessly Hoping, One Man Band, I Can’t Outrun You, In the Blood, Country Roads. Some great songs. Loved your reaction. Have a wonderful Christmas. Oh forgot, Adam Rupp Drum Solo on RUclips (2015) about 7 minutes. It’s totally worth it.
You have to remember Austan and Tim their roots are in the southern gospel church and Chance is from Florida and Alabama with Rob and Adam from Michigan. These guys blend so well together.
You are now a Penta(tonix)(Home)Fry. Love your reactions. Hope you will still do one HF reaction every week. Would check all your reactions if I could, but I can only tune in for HF with all my favourite reactors. See you soon.
Kenny Rogers with Home Free while Christmas is still yet to come:
"Children, Go Where I Send Thee"
Brothers In Arms is a good one to check out. Tim Foust the bass singer is from Texas and he has a 5 octave range and I think it’s more than that😍Austin Brown the tenor is from Georgia that is why you hear that southern twang❤️❤️
Oh yes, those minor notes! Truly awesome.
Don't forget Adam Chance is from Alabama.
Yes tim Foust is from Beaumont area of Texas, Austin from Tipton Georgia, chance is our Alabama boy, Adam and rob is from Minnesota.
Adam Rupp has been described as swallowing an entire drum set!!!
Once the very go to song and deserved signature song of Pentatonix ..... UNTIL this was released ..... a few years ago - NOW THEE HALLMARK, HIGH WATER MARK & MARK IT DOWN YOU ALL, the Best singing in praise to the Lord, the Christ & The Virgin Mother !!! [Mary] Just so great. The normal work of Darren Rust was this time THAT OF ADAM RUPP [Beat Boxer] .... Tenor and brilliant concept Arranger !!! Kudos to all and God bless them, these merry gentlemen ! Sing on good Sirs. jj
It helps that Home Free has their own label
It actually doesn't. The claims still happen every time and they aren't fast about releasing them.

This is really a beautiful arrangement and, as in all their music, they've given it their own special sound. It's so much fun to watch you discover the unique talent of these amazing vocal groups.

This is the first time I've ever listened to this all the way through, right now, and just woah. I'm shook, really.
Tim Foust is a basso PROFUNDO. Gifted gifted gifted. And Adam Rupp? Has won international beatboxing competitions!
I love this song & this is probably the best version I've ever heard. If you want something that's a little more fun, check out their latest release, "What Christmas Means to Me" (cover of a Stevie Wonder song). Enjoy your enthusiasm in your reactions!

Goodness gracious! How in the world do they do it they never disappoint they are the gold standard of a cappella!
Check out Snow Globe, an original by Home Free. Tim will blow your mind! And its another Christmas song! Tim Foust co-wrote Snow Globe with Keelan Donovan
I do hope you get their "Children Go Where I Send Thee" worked into your Christmas schedule. I really think you'll enjoy the jazzy arrangement.
That one with the legend Kenny Rogers was just so magical!
I never heard of this song until PTX sang it.
Being a Home Free fan I think they really put their spin on it. Loved it.
Home Free has their own label.
PTX is a bit more theatrical in a lot of their performances.
Not that Home Free arrangements are simple but they can just sit on stools or stand in a field and sound amazing.
Adam Rupp is one of the best if not the best vocal percussionist I have heard. Love his harmonica
“Don’t Laugh at Me” and “Go Rest High on that Mountain” the music video is so touching and patriotic and spiritual!
Brother, you need to see their silly side. Home Free re;eased a cover of Stevie Wonder's 1967 hit "What Christmas means to me?

Since I've heard them for the first time, I can't listen to anyone else 😂 and it's been a year now
Tim Foust recently released an a cappella doo-wop single ‘Come Go with Me’ that showcases his range beautifully.
When a man loves a woman is awesome too! Mayday; my church…. Any of them!!
Beautiful reaction! Tim, Chance and Austin are all southern, Chance and Austin each have videos from their hometown, well worth checking out.
Tim Foust, the amazing bass, is from Texas, so it's not surprising that he has that accent!
The bass (Tim Foust) is from Texas; the high tenor (Austin Brown) is from Georgia and spent years (on a music scholarship) trying to nullify his accent.
Chance (back row, white shirt) carries the whole baseline in this one instead of Tim, since Tim is singing lead on most of the song.
This my favorite acapella group. They respect the song and don't play it up with tricks. It is beauty incarnate. As far as not blocking, Austin-the high tenor- has taken the time to thank the reactors.
Love that. Thanks Cheryl!
He has also interviewed with at least 2 of the reactors & Tim just did an interview with a vocal coach reactor!
Adam Rupp drum solo is one of the best! Worlds best beatboxer on the planet!!
I have been following these guys for several years and they just have a special spirit about them that can't be denied. Great reaction
Thanks Debbie!
Home Free always hits a Home run! They are the BEST!!!!

This my most absolutely favorite song Home Free has done on “ Mary Did you Know that baby boy “ because this my most favorite song I love this song.❤
It's hard to pick just one recommendation when it comes to Home Free, because every single thing they do is amazing! You can never go wrong with them

Lead singer is Austin. He is from Georgia originally. Tim the bass was originally from Texas. Thus the southern “twang”
Great reaction. When Christmas is over listen to Mayday. Tim will astound you with his vocals
Well not much to say except there harmonies are just on piont 🤩
And yes Adam has a drum solo thats about 5 minutes long he just doesn't do drums does other stuff wish you would react he's in a league all by himself glad you enjoy them
You should really listen to their cover of CS&N Helplessly Hoping .They do it all vocal harmony , even the beat boxer harmonizes on this song.
Thank you for the reaction. Others have linked to Adam's "drum solo", even though it is older has great audio. If you can, please listen to their version of Auld Lang Syne. I call it my "warm blanket sitting by a fireplace" version!
How Great Thou Art and Go Rest High on that Mountain are also amazing.
With two from Minnesota, and the other 3 from Texas, Georgia and Alabama...yeah, some country undertones, lol. Thanks again Sir.
And another note, I appreciate their version of this song. Because if you truly listen to the words it is a very haunting question
Love this version. Love Home Free. Gives me chills. Awesome

Thanks 😉
Home Free is mostly a COUNTRY a cappella group , 2 from Minn. , 1 from Lubock Tx ,1 from Bay Minnette Al , 1 from Tifton Ga.
Their cover of "Everybody Walking This Land" is amazing! The video is a strong message !
The Lion Sleeps Tonight from Tim's new album.
HE DOES EVERYTHING. Or he's a space alien. Maybe both.
So, you've discovered PTX and Home Free... but there's actually a trifecta of world class a capella groups, and the third leg is Voice Play. They are kind of the 'theater geeks' of the 3 groups. They recently released an incredible Wicked Medley, and before that an EPIC Hoist the Colours (from Pirates of the Caribbean). Many more great videos/songs, as well.
For a HF New Years, check out their version of "Auld Lang Syne"
Watch Workin' for a Livin'. You will get a front seat to Adam's world-class harmonica rendition. Mind-boggling.
You'll see another side to these boys, too.
The beatboxer, Adam Rupp, does a solo at every concert so you could just look for Adam Rupp Drum Solo and find quite a few.
The bass singer, Tim Foust, recently released a totally solo, all a capella DooWop album and has a video for the first song if you are interested.
I really do appreciate how you look at the arrangement and voices rather than they do country songs. They lean towards country but they do a bit of everything. Thank you.
I love Homefree and their version of this song but if you really want to blow your senses out of the water listen to Voctave's version of Mary did you know and to top it all Mark Lowry the author of this song performs the lead in their rendition and it is absolutely stunning.
With the coming of the Advent, Home Free’s Beautiful Star of Bethlehem is perfect in timing.
Welcome. So nice to have another Home Fry fan girling on this one.
The guy you called the lead singer and how he was ending his notes on the down side is
Tim Foust is a basso profundo and yes he is country, from Southeast Texas. He has a 5+ range from A0 to not sure exactly how high! I'll check into that and get back to you! I do know that he sings tenor frequently. Check him out on this one in your private time
" COME GO WITH ME " It's different and very special! Not Christmas but so fun and a real vibe!!!
For Adam Rupp the beatboxer/vocal percussionist try his
" ADAM RUPP LIVE SOLO IN CONCERT" Start with 2015/16 red flannel shirt then more recent apprx 2017/2019 to see his progression!
Some Home Free official videos that shows some of his talent are
"ELVIRA" Home Free ft The Oak Ridge Boy's
" WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN" cover of Percy Sledge
" TRY EVERYTHING" cover of Shakira
" GOD BLESS THE USA " ft Lee Greenwood and the Singing Sargent's of the USAF
" ONLY IN AMERICA " cover of Brooks and Dunn
" MY COUNTRY TIS OF THEE "
So very many! I'm sure the Home Fries will suggest more, I trust them!
Thanks Louise for the list :)
Louise, my all time favorite Tim song is just him playing the piano and singing I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You. So, so beautiful.
@Cavamom O my goodness yes, you are so right on that! I don't think there is a more beautiful Tim song than that one. As far as beauty, romantic and making a lady weak in the knees that one has no comparison! Makes me cry everytime I hear it just from the beauty of his voice! Plus it shows his range and how flexible he slides up and down the music scale. I really love him and I know you do too! We are such Fousters! Along with so many other's!❤️☺️🤭
@@louisetemples7011 Wish more would react to that one for us Foust Fantasizers. 💖😂
@@cavamom IKR? I don't get it at all! We just have to keep trying!!! Love the descriptive name for us " Foust Fantasizes"♥️
We so appreciate you bringing these great Christmas songs from all of these great artists.
Thanks bud!
This has been a favorite song of mine since Mark Lowry wrote it many years ago and sang it while he was singing with a gospel group The Gaithers. I’d love his reaction on these two groups singing it. He knows and loves harmony so I know he would love both versions.
Thanks for the great reaction. Both groups are so excellent and sing equally well but different.
I know someone will give you the link to Adam Rupp’s drum solo. You will love it and want to react as we will want to hear. ❤️
Chance, tshirt, opposite Adam, is doing the bass support. such mellow bass has grown under Tim's teaching. watch for several slides to your toenails toward the end! not Tim but Chance!! also, no professional jealousy, but lending a hand up to each other!
Home Free, Man of Constant Sorrow!
Welcome to not only being a pentaholic but to being a home Fry it's a wonderful rabbit hole to dive down. Some of my favorite home Free songs include sea shanty medley the butts remix and if you really want to explore why most of us in Texas are convinced that Tim foust is a dragon Peter hollens and Tim foust Misty mountains there is also one out there with Chris rupp who was one of the originating members of the group and has moved on with Tim doing long black train both are spectacular
I agree with you. The first time I heard this I had the idea that some lines were sad referring to what would happen. “Would soon deliver you” made me think of the crucifixion.
Thank you for reacting to this amazing version of this beautiful song! Adam & Chance put the icing on the cake! By the way, it is NOT Home Free that blocks the videos! The winding down of the beautiful Christmas music including all of the fun ones Home Free have is really sad to me. I've enjoyed every second of all the reactions especially the ones who appreciate these guys' incredible talent to make their songs so rich & full that you have to stop & realize there aren't any instruments backing them up! As for the "twang", Tim, Austin & Chance are all from the deep south! You might can take us Southerners out of the South, but you'll never take the South out of the Southerners!😊 Merry Christmas to all!
@ USMADGIRL That deserves a big AMEN! I'm proud of my country twang! Grew up about an hour from Austin's hometown in South Georgia and still live near there ( only I'm even farther south now than I was then at beautiful Lake Seminole. Farthest south county in Georgia (Seminole) Only I mile from the Chattahoochee River!
You too! Thanks!
Chris you haven’t seen anything yet from Home Free , they are. entertainer’s, very funny guys and I am very biased they are the best.😍
Yessss great reaction as always.
Wow. Just wow is enough for that. Home Free slap me hard with this one. I can't choose between HF's and PTX's versions they are so strong in their own way but this...is beyond spectacular. I want to go see this group live. They were supposed to come in Montreal last September ( my hometown) but due to freaking covid I just don't know if they will ever come someday. I am in love with Adam the beatboxer. What he does is unbelievable.
This group really surprised me because they master every genre of music. They are really good with RnB. Try " End of the road" Rob will slap you in the face. Really unexpected.
Again I just love how blown away you always look at 10:58
10:47 is absolutely impressive by Tim. You look like a proud dad of his sons 😁.
lol, thanks Kay!!!
I am a huge Home Free fan and agree that this is a beautiful arrangement. You should listen to this song by Voctave and the song's composer Mark Lowry.
Fantastic reaction, as usual. Adam Rupp has several "drum solos", done during their concerts. You should watch the oldest one and then the newer ones. His talent goes from fantastic to out of this world, in terms of progression.
This version is my absolute favorite. Instead of high voice versions , Home Free keeps it low and succinct. Melancholy is one way it could be construed. I feel like it's solemn and respectful.
I hope you can react to their auld Lang syne video before New years eve. It's a beautiful rendition. 💞
Thanks Dawn!
Tim the bass is from Southeast Texas. Austin (long hair) is from Georgia. And Adam Chance far left is from Alabama. The other 2 guys are from Minnesota. You need to check out the beatboxers solo from a live concert. Thanks for your reaction to this song.
When you're done with the Christmas songs, which I love btw. Home Free does Johnny Cash Ring of Fire with former Pentatonix bass Avi Kaplan. Check it out.
When Christmas is over, be sure to checkout their version of “Brothers In Arms”. It is both beautiful and unbelievable and so impactful.
Great reaction, Larry I think your now officially a Home Fry. Home Free dropped 2 new Christmas songs in the last week and half. First an original CHRISTMAS AIN’T FOR THE LONELY and a Stevie Wonder cover WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME. both are great. Adam Rupps drum solos ( there are few different version) all tend to be 7 to 9 minutes long and shows off more than just drum skills, prepare to be amazed. Your and your family have a Merry Christmas and God’s blessing for next year.
You as well, Eric!

Need to ask all homefries to go to taste of country top 10 music videos and vote to keep them in 1st place for Brothers in Arms. Thank you for the great reactions! Thanks to giving the guys first place, please vote, voting end tomorrow at noon
Both are absolutely beautiful 😍 ❤ 💕
Adam Rupp is a fabulous Freak of Nature!
I was so happy when HF came out with this. I had this and the PTX version on repeat for weeks. I love these two groups so much! And add VoicePlay for the perfect trifecta. Oh life is so good with these three groups in our lives!!!
Ah well, I made the mistake of checking your channel before calling it a night, so my yawns are my own fault! Infectious reaction, again, Chris - and, you have some good ears on you! My best wishes for you and yours for a happy and peaceful Yuletide, with plenty of music from your expanded playlist.
Well, for after Christmas I would love some of Home Free’s fun videos, please. “Honey, I’m Good” is an all time favourite; just because it’s fun doesn’t mean they sacrifice any quality! - oh, no! And I’m sure some other Fry will point you towards the best video(s) of Adam’s beatboxing. 🥁🎄
😉
Larry, u just have the most gentle voice.....i love it !!......i just can't see you getting mad and raising your voice.....LOL
WHAT!!!!??? Just kidding :)
they did the up/down combo which accentuates the chordal space
HF give a ride no matter what they sing.
I knew you would absolutely love this Home Free rendition as well. I can't get enough of these guys!
Thank you for the reaction video It was very well done.
Things to keep in mind: While Tim Foust, the bass, was singing, Adam Chance (Chance), the baritone/bass on the far left was carrying the bass the whole time.
Adam Rupp, the beatboxer has a stage solo introduced by Tim. The whole solo performance is about 7 minutes long and you can do a reaction about it, mainly because we want to see your jaw drop. You can find it easily by typing in -----Adam Rupp drum solo. ----------It should be the first one that comes up in a red flannel shirt.
The song was written by Mark Lowry, who has deep roots in southern gospel music, so to me, Tim's voice fits it more perfectly than more pop-influenced performances. YMMV, but enjoy whatever you like however you like it!
Thank you, thank you, thank you....Now that strobe effect won't distract from your excellent reactions...
You want to hear the full lower voice of Tim’s, check out “Brothers In Arms”.
There is a live Drum solo that Adam does in their live show and it's on RUclips. You must see that because it is AWESOME!!!
Chris, you've become a new Home Fry! I'm proud of your open-mindedness! That's one thing about HF. They want their fans to enjoy their music and have actually stated they enjoy it when reactors chose their songs to react to! Good for them!
That's so good to know! Thanks Carolina!
You need to listen to home free doing end of the road( boys to men), ring of fire and man of constant sorrow
Adam Rupp doesn’t do anything for 30 seconds😌 He had quite a few beatboxing ones on here but you can see his drum solo which is I think is one of his older ones but shows his talent😍
there are several Adam Rupp drum solo videos on YT. I guarantee when you watch them, your jaw will drop and the first word out of your mouth will be "What?!" Seeing your reaction will be epic.
Adam Rupps Drum solo!!!. Its about 7 mins long. You will be blown away!!! Adam is amazing
One thing you will soon notice about Home Free is
their commitment to social issues. After the holidays
music has been explored I hope you take the time to
listen to all the important things that Home Free addressed in their videos. Also, note how careful they
are to fit the visuals to the lyrics and music. Wishing you a blessed Christmas season and all the best for
2022 and beyond.
So stunning! Beautiful. Gave me chills too. Their harmonies are tremendous. Adam killed the beatboxing and Chance with those low notes. Chance will fill in for Tim at bass when Tim is singing. Did you hear the growl at the end of “I am”? So good. Loved the video too, just a serene scene with the manger and the stars. If you get tired of Christmas music try Helplessly Hoping, One Man Band, I Can’t Outrun You, In the Blood, Country Roads. Some great songs. Loved your reaction. Have a wonderful Christmas. Oh forgot, Adam Rupp Drum Solo on RUclips (2015) about 7 minutes. It’s totally worth it.
You need to watch Jewel and Home Free sing Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas from the Sing Off competition. The other judges were blown away
You have to remember Austan and Tim their roots are in the southern gospel church and Chance is from Florida and Alabama with Rob and Adam from Michigan. These guys blend so well together.
(Rob and Adam are from Minnesota)
You forget “ Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem “ with the oak ridge boys
You are now a Penta(tonix)(Home)Fry. Love your reactions. Hope you will still do one HF reaction every week. Would check all your reactions if I could, but I can only tune in for HF with all my favourite reactors. See you soon.
