Welcome down the rabbit hole that is Home Free. They can keep you entertained for years. I know I have been a Home Fry from the first time I heard them. Got my concert tickets for this September.
Greetings from a danish fry / new sub , just a friendly warning if you like our guys the fries / fan name will come running and we are a very loyal bunch . Home Free label themself a country acapella group but they sing all genres . We fries have a saying -- give them a phone book and they will turn it into a smash hit , much love from Denmark
Chance, the guy with the dark vest, played a jaw harp without having a jaw harp. Adam Rupp, the "harmonica" player also played all the drums with no drums and strangely did that record crackle sound at the beginning. You should try their Sea Shanty Medley. Besides sounding great, it is just a bunch of fun!
Do yourself a favor and check out Home Free’s version of “When a Man Loves a Woman”, it’s fantastic!! Austin Brown, who is singing lead here, sings the lead in that one too! Welcome to the world of Home Free!
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. They do more than country as you'll find out. If you do more the Home Fries will blow up your subs and comments with suggestions. I recommend their covers of Hillibilly Bone and Some Girls Do, but also suggest you check out their version of Ed Sheeran 's Castle on The Hill. Have fun!
@@sandrastorer5628, Axl Rose of Guns 'N Roses has a 7 octave range. I am a basso profundo with a 4 octave range. 4-5 octaves is much more common than you think. Higher voices actually tend to have narrower ranges.
@@sandrastorer5628 They are few and far between but are a treasure for A Capella groups. Tim Foust - you just heard. Geoff Castellucci of Voiceplay - another great A Capella group. Avi Kaplan (e1 to d5) was the bass singer of Pentatonix until he departed for a solo career. Avi appeared as a guest vocalist with Home Free on their rendition of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" - another great recommendation for a Home Free listen.
Keep reacting to Home Free and you'll see the number of subscribers go up each time. Their followers are a large and loyal group of Home Fries (Fans), and you will draw them in with each reaction. You will be constantly amazed by Home Free.
The only version I've heard is on the soundtrack of the Movie 'O Brother Where Art Thou', with George Clooney and John Goodman. These guys did a fantastic job!! Bob Dylan also did a cover of this. The original was written and performed by Richard Burnett in 1913 in Kentucky. He had six years prior to publishing the song he had been blinded in a robbers turned shooting, hence the lyrics.
I'm not a country music fan, but I LOVE Home Free! I recommend reacting to more of their songs. You'll find that Home Fries (fans of Home Free) enjoy helping Home Free and reactors to their videos by subscribing, watching and liking...helps everybody's algorithms.... right?
You have a deep rabbithole to delve into!!! Tim Faust, the bass, has a 5 octave range! The beat boxer, Adam Rupp, is a 2 time beat boxer world champion!
It’s always fun to see someone discover Home Free. Glad you liked them and I look forward to seeing you explore more. A breakdown for you: Home Free was started in 2000 by two brothers - Chris and Adam Rupp. Adam is the beatboxer in the group (sings occasionally, is a tenor), Chris sang baritone and left the group in 2016, but you will see him in older videos (usually wears a cowboy hat). The uncle of one of the other group members loaned them the money to get started and to show their gratitude they named the group after a houseboat he had - Home Free. There have been a number of members over the years but this video shows their current line up: Beatboxer - Adam Rupp from Minnesota. In the back in the vest is Adam Chance who sings baritone although he sang bass in his previous group. He replaced Chris and to avoid confusion with Adam the beatboxer, Adam Chance is referred to as simply Chance. He is from Alabama and has a 4 octave vocal range. In the front row, the guy in the overalls with the beard and glasses was Rob Lundquist who is from Minnesota and sings tenor. In the middle singing the lead in this song was Austin Brown, high tenor. Austin is from Georgia. The bass singer is Tim Foust. Tim is from Texas and has an incredible 5 octave vocal range. So he can sing very, very low (he’s been known to blow out speakers) and he can sing very high. Keep watching and you will hear both ends of his range. They are the only known country a cappella group in the world. They can make you laugh in one song, feel happy in another, make you cry or make you think. They sing a lot of country but also do all forms of music. You will not regret looking further into them.
Awesome run down. As an update (or addendum) the band members currently live in Nashville, Minneapolis, and LA. Adam and Rob are in Minneapolis. Tim and Austin are in Nashville. Chance is in LA. They started in Mankato Minnesota where the Rupps grew up. The headquartered out of Minneapolis for a bit but, I believe, they are headquartered out of Nashville now. They tour extensively (they toured the UK before the pandemic) and are true showmen so it's an awesome show. They release around two to four new videos a month with some being music videos and some being either behind the scenes or snippets of their lives/histories. Enjoy! and thanks rebelpearl for the great write up.
@@taylorfamilyreactions: If you want a laugh, these guysxare hilarious! Check out "Story time with Tim" on RUclips to hear Tim (with the same deep speaking voice) tell the most ridiculous stories, only made better by his voice and his poker face (and the lack thereof in the others).
I discovered home free couple of months ago I dont listen to anythink else they are amazing. I love every thing about them they are lovely friendly people. I'm a young 74 year old lady, and I'm gobsmacked xxxx
I saw the light go on in your eyes and I hit the subscribe button. 😍 Welcome to the rabbit hole. Home Free's got around 150 music videos for you to react to and enjoy. They are the world's so far only, that we know of, country acapella group and they are insanely talented, skilled, funny, handsome, unique and warm-hearted and caring human beings. While they are cover they don't only do country although almost all songs are countrified, which in itself is crazy because they don't use instruments to make it country. I'm excited to follow you down the hole! Thanks for a great reaction!
Thank you Carina for your comment and your sub! It means a great deal! 150 songs should keep me down the rabbit hole for quite some time but its not a bad place to be! 😂
Tim Foust, the bass singer, has been known to blow out speakers on his really low notes. On top of that, he can also sing in the upper ranges, and has a 5-octave range. (Although he's usually in the low bass range).
Great reaction! Home Free is a country acapella group, but they do so much more. R&B, pop, rock, country they are versatile. The members are: First guy who sang is their tenor Austin Brown, who is classically trained. Second guy with beard and glasses is also a soulful voiced tenor to hear him in lead check out 'End of the Road' . The deep bass is Tim Foust, who has a 5 octave singing voice. He can go low and high. Check out him sharing lead in ' In the Blood'. The guy standing in back with beatboxer with dark hair and beard mak7ng jaw harp sound us the group's baritone/ bass( he does bass when Tim is singing lead) Adam Chance aka Chance. To hear him sing lead check out their cover of ' Cover me up'. And last but not least the beatboxer/ vocal percussionist Adam Rupp aka the freak of nature. He has won competitions. He can also sing but doesnt do it often. Instead his vocal percussion is the backbone of Home Free. He has a drum solo video out on youtube if you wanna check him out! Altogerher they are amazingly talented! Welcome to your Homefree journey. Thanks for taking us Home Fries ( Home Free fans) along!! Thanks for your reaction!
For something entirely different try Home Free's cover of Blue Ain't Your Color, or Hillbilly Bone, or an original song of theirs called Dive Bar Saints. Pretty much anything you choose from their extensive list of songs will be great!
Welcome to the Home Free family....this is one group of very talented singers that can sing any genre! I just subbed for more Home Free! Any one of the 4 guys can sing lead ...it just depends on the song...here are some suggestions..End Of The Road (Rob left front lead tenor)...In The Blood (Tim front far right bass)...Some Girls Do (Chance (back left baritone) and Austin (front center high tenor) lead on this video...Adam (back right beat boxer)! Let the journey continue!
@@clpjones1964 A great chance to hear him sing a small solo is in How Great Thou Art ... he is so incredibly talented it makes my brain hurt trying to wrap it around his abilities ...
@@sandym6760 that's the one that gave me chills! They've all got beautiful voices, but his shocked me! I had no idea he could sing...let alone like an angel! Wow! He fascinates me with his talent!
To make this easy just give a thumb's up to every Home Free recommendation. But, if you really want a good laugh and see their abilities in several genres all in one sitting , then it is the Butts Remix that will really highlight what these fellows have going on!!!
Welcome to the a'cappella rabbit hole. If you feel like a super country and a belly laugh combination, try their "Butts Remix". Bring your sense of humor.
Too many reactors don't get the significance of this song. Glad you got it. Their ranges and talents are epic. You MUST listen to "Tim Foust ‐ Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Stay". What a guy can do with a 5 octave range. One of a kind singer. Love your reviews btw. Cheers
New sub for Home Free. I don't think anyone has ever found a bad performance from Home Free. They give their own spin to what ever they cover and their originals are great. for a couple of other "Country" songs, Hillbilly Bone and Folsome Prison Blues. but they sing all genres. Original Dive Bar Saints and Land of the Free!
Thanks so much for a great surprised reaction. Home Free is the only country acapella band out there. Down below are a lot of suggested songs for Home Free so I won't add to them just yet. :) I will give you a rundown on who is who and you can take that down to keep so will know know who they are. Front...Left to Right...Rob Lundquist (the Beard) Tenor from Minnesota...Austin Brown thin guy High Tenor, but can go lower from Georgia...Tim Foust Bass and then some from Southeast Texas...Back...Left to Right...Adam Chance (called Chance to tell the two Adams apart) Baritone/Bass from Alabama...Adam Rupp Beatboxer and can sing also from Minnesota. There is also Chris Rupp wears a cowboy hat or cap, left the group to go solo and doing well. He and Adam Rupp his brother founded the group. You will see him in the early songs, he was instrumental in getting Adam Chance to join Home Free......Well that is a lot, but I hope it is helpful for you. (just print and stick on a wall...LOL) Thanks again. (Liked and subscribed)
I love your reactions to Home Free. Tim Foust, the bass, does have an incredible range. If you loved his lower register in "Man of Constant Sorrow," you need to check out their Dire Straits cover of "Brothers in Arms." Tim sings the lead vocal and reaches low notes you never knew existed!! This is an emotional song...haunting yet beautiful. I hope you get a chance to react to this one. I think it just might be my favorite Home Free cover.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ME SOME "HOME FREE" ALMOST AS MUCH AS "CHRIS STAPLETON"!!!!!! I AM HOPING BEYOND HOPE THAT A COLLABORATION WILL SOON BE IN THE WORKS. THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT IT WILL DEFINITELY BE THE COLLABORATION WE ALL DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS NEEDED. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been following Home Free for about 15 years now and I love all music but these guys are fantastic and thar music does not stick to one style, welcome to the rabbit hole.
New sub here. Home Free is a treasure trove of surprises for you explore! I have never heard a song I didn't like since I first listened them . I really look forward to watching you discover their exquisite harmonies and killer humor. Country Fried Pop, The Butts Remix, Moonshine, and Helplessly Hoping are just a few of my favorites!
Love your reactions, it reminds me of my first time hearing Home Free. A couple that will keep you wanting more are How great thou art, Blue ain’t your color, Helplessly Hoping. Bass is Tim Foust, Beatboxer is Adam Rupp, Baritone at the left in the back is Chance, Lead Tenor front left is Rob Lundquist and the high tenor in the middle is Austin Brown. They are all amazing at what they do and blend great together, but you already figured that out. They don’t take themselves too seriously so their funny side you can find in All about that bass (incl. Gag reel) Kentucky fried pop medley and guilty pleasures derailed. Even though they have fun with those songs the singing is still amazing. I know I rapidly became a Home Fry once I found them.
If you do Guilty Pleasures Derailed, just sit back and enjoy the ride, don't bother critiquing. It's called Derailed for a reason, lol (as one reactor put it, they 'Broje' him ... ROFLOL)
Check out "Misty Mountains" by Peter Hollens, featuring Tim Foust, Home Free's bass singer. Peter sings the high notes and layers his voice over 120 times to achieve a choir effect. Tim brings the earthshaking bass! It's a masterpiece and a cover of a song from the Hobbit movie. Enjoy!
I think Home Free is the best band out there! Each one is great, from the beatboxer, Adam; to first tenor, Austin; to lead tenor, Rob with the beard; to the Bass/baritone, Chance; to the deep bass, Tim! They are all superb and always sing beautifully. You did a great reaction. Here’s some of my favorites: “In the Blood,” “ How Great Thou Art,” “Your Man,” “All About That Bass,” “Sea Shanty Medley,” and at least 50 more! Thanks!
Come on down the "rabbit hole" with us. These guys are each so very talented -- when they choose a song to record they each sing the lead and then the group determines who sounds best. No prima donnas, just great entertainment and; they will poke fun at themselves and do some funny songs as well. They are simply the best!
As far as I know, Home Free is the only a-capella group that sings mostly country music. They do occasionally sing some of the rock and roll oldies.....everything they sing is just beautiful. I'm not a big gospel fan, but they sing gospel just stunningly. I have never heard anything or anyone like them.....they are amazing. They have been my favorite group for the last five or six years. I wasn't a country fan until I started listening to them.
Welcome to the phenomenal world of Home Free! These guys started in my state of Minnesota, and they have just gotten better and better ever since then! I didn't read through all the comments, so I apologize if I'm repeating information. The group members: Rob Lundquist (far left) - The Beard. Beautiful smooth tenor voice and a constant source of humor. Adam Chance (second from the left) - The Other Adam. Often goes by Chance to avoid confusion. Wonderful baritone/bass voice who takes over for Tim on the bass when Tim does lead vocals. Austin Brown (middle) - The Attic. High soaring tenor voice and another source of humor. Adam Rupp (second from the right) - The Machine. Probably swallowed a percussion section and some other random instruments as a kid. Pretty sure he's not human. Tim Foust (far right) - The Cellar. His lowest notes come from the mines of Moria. Also, in some of their older videos, you will see another guy with very little hair often wearing a cowboy hat; that is Adam Rupp's brother Chris, who left the group a few years ago for a solo career and was replaced by Chance. EVERYTHING that Home Free does is top-tier, but I'll recommend a few to continue with: " How Great Thou Art" and "Helplessly Hoping" - sheer vocal perfection. "All About That Bass," "I Swear," and "The Butts Medley" - the hilariously fun side of the guys. "Ring of Fire" (which features Avi Kaplan, the original bass from Pentatonix) and "Folsom Prison Blues" - more of Tim's insane low voice. "Do You Hear What I Hear?" - probably my favorite Home Free song. Have a blast going down the rabbit hole, and welcome to the dedicated group of fans, the Home Fries!
welcome to the world of homefree they have 150+ videos you can't go wrong with them just subscribed tim is the best when it comes to bass but he can sing high too check out end of the road by them too
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit 🐇 hole. Your mission, if you decide to accept it is to continue on this journey to complete enlightenment of what HF is capable of with no instruments of any kind other than their individual voices. While they do many country renditions, of which I recommend Hillbilly Bone & then Champagne Dreams on a Beer Budget which is a HF original. Then on to Butts remix for an amusing ride across your funny bone, Can’t Stop the Feeling, In The Middle & Fulsom Prison Blues until finally pulling into the last station on this leg of your journey which is their cover of Mayday to complete your HF introduction. Us Home Fries (The HF fans) will join you on your continued HF travels through all of their incredible videos. We’re packed & ready so get going !!
Oh boy, can they all sing. I just discovered them last year during the pandemic and they’re amazing. Adam Rupp, beatboxer, does drums, harmonica, bug sounds, all kinds of sounds. He has a video on RUclips called Adam Rupp Drum Solo which is amazing. Tim Foust, is the bass and has a 5 octave range so he can sing low and sing high. Austin Brown is the high tenor and lead here. Rob Lundquist is a tenor (glasses). Adam Chance (we call him Chance) is the baritone/bass and he did the mouth harp sound at the beginning and end of the video. They can all beatbox to some degree and they sing all genres of music. Try Country Roads, Die a Happy Man, I Can’t Outrun You, Folsom Prison Blues to hear more great harmonies. Good Reaction!
Oh I just loved your reaction! That's what it was like for me when I first heard them too. I've been hooked ever since. You never know exactly what to expect from them except that it's going to be incredible! They're so versatile you wouldnt believe! Again, great job reacting!
If you haven’t heard Austin Brown from this group singing “when a man loves a woman” you have to check him out. He is awesome❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
There have been many suggestions, so I'll just give a couple Home Free songs: Everybody Walkin This Land and My Church. However, pick anything. You won't we disappointed.
I hope you realise you are going to be inundated with suggestions for Home Free songs/videos to react to. You'll be kept busy for quite a while. My favourites are Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art, Country Fried Pop etc etc, enjoy your journey down the rabbit hole x
Home Fry here ... Thanks for letting us see your introduction to our guys :) As the Home Fries start coming in, you'll see a lot of recommendations for Mayday. Please, please, PLEASE don't react to it until you have watched enough of their videos that you can put a name to each voice, and can close your eyes and picture in your mind exactly who is singing. Trust me, THEN it will blow your mind, and you'll appreciate the absolutely jaw-dropping moments that we had when it came out. Trust me, it's worth the wait ;) In the meantime, check out both versions they have of Ring of Fire, the Butts Medley, In the Blood, Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art, Go Rest High On That Mountain, End of The Road, Helplessly Hoping, Elvira, The Gambler, Sea Shanty Medley, Do You Hear What I Hear, Country Roads .... The list goes on and on and on. These guys Excel at so MANY Genres, you will be EXTREMELY hard pressed to find a song you DON'T like. This is one Rabbit Hole you WON'T regret going down, if you choose to enter the world of the Home Fries. The first singer -- the one with a voice that can make Angels weep -- is Austin Brown, check out their When a Man Loves a Woman to see how perfect his voice truly is -- if you haven't figured it out yet before you get to that one. He worked hard to lose his country twang in his career -- and they had him bring it back for this song (he really is from the deep South). Rob (beard and overalls) -- the one who sounds like he gargles with warm honey, whose voice flows over and around you like a down comforter in the dead of winter -- is actually from Minnesota. Adam Chance (just called 'Chance' to avoid confusion) is the one doing the sound of the Mouth Harp (I played one when I was younger, we called it a Jew's Harp, through) throughout the song. He's also from the South, and has a voice that is like an old friend -- you never get tired of hearing it. He was the Bass for the group he was in previously, but gives that spot up to Tim here. Tim Foust, the basso profundo -- as the saying goes, "You ain't seen nothin' yet!". He has literally blown sub-woofers in live concerts, and you can feel the floor and your chest vibrating when he drops down to some of his low notes. You'll get a -- tiny -- feel for his 5 Octave range when you listen to him in Ring of Fire. For more of his low notes, check out Misty Mountains with Peter Hollens, Folsom Prison Blues .. pretty much most of their songs you'll pick up his bass undertones, but in those he takes center stage. Adam Rupp, the beatboxer affectionately called the 'Freak of Nature', started the group along with his brother Chris. Chris left a few years ago to start another group with their sister (yes, the whole FAMILY is super talented), but you'll see him in the earlier videos. When he left, he hand-picked Chance to be his replacement. Anyway, for more of what Adam can do, watch his drum solos. During their live performances, while the others are resting their vocal chords, he does his solo -- then goes on to finish the Concert just as strong and consistent as he was in the FIRST half. Oh, and by the way, he can also sing and harmonize just like the others. He just PREFERS to beatbox, and we ALL get to reap the benefits of his amazing talents as a result. Oh, and for the record -- 5 guys, right? Well, in those same 5 guys they have: 5 Tenors 2 Basses 5 who can do some beatboxing and 1 Freak of Nature (you'll swear that man swallowed not only an entire drum set, but that he snacks on other instruments at will) Ready to join the Home Fries in seeing and appreciating what our guys can do yet? ;)
Thank you Sandy for an incredible background into what I am finding to be an incredible group! I think every Home Fry has mentioned that I’m not allowed to Mayday just yet and I will definitely honour the request, but the suspense is starting to kill me! 😂
So happy to find you found Home Free!! I would absolutely love to see you check out more of them! A quick intro to them! They were founded in Minnesota by the vocal percussionist and his brother(who sang baritone for them, but has since has left to work on other music - Chance(short dark hair and beard) replaced him) Fans are called Home Fries : ) The members are Tim Foust: Bass - pretty easy to identify, but has shoulder length brown hair in most videos, but recently cut it and has a gray stripe in it(which he calls Bonnie) Austin Brown: High tenor - shoulder length curly reddish hair (he trained in college to sing theatrically, and at one point sung for the voices of liberty at Epcot! He worked really hard to learn how to sing without his Georgia accent, but earlyHome Free met him when they were entertainers on a cruise ship, and when their tenor retired, they asked if he would join except with his accent back 😂) Rob Lunquist: Lower tenor - long beard and glasses : ) Adam Chance(called Chance): current baritone - short dark hair and beard. He replaced Chris Rupp, and he used to sing bass for another a cappella group Streetcorner Symphony(which actually competed on the show The Sing-Off in the same season that Home Free won - The Sing-Off is the same show that Pentatonix won) Since he is able to sing bass, Home Free has gotten a lot more opportunity to let Tim sing lead now! Adam Rupp: beatboxer - pretty easy to identify too, but will have either short or long blondish hair. He’s just incredible, sometimes called a freak of nature for the sounds he can make. He also majored in trumpet performance in college, which probably helped him develop breathing techniques, and is a tenor when he sings which really surprised me. And Chris Rupp: bast baritone - you might see him in older videos if you check any out, he’s bald or wearing a cowboy hat. He was pretty much the driving force behind forming this group! Have tons of fun if you check out more, they really don’t have a bad song, so you can’t go wrong 😊
Thank you for the background on these guys!! I can’t believe how good they sound together and how amazing they are individually as well!! They have been an incredible surprise to me and I can’t wait to see more! 👍🏻
They are much more than a country vocal group. Listen to How Great Thou Art. Or for more country their cover of Take Me Home Country Road by John Denver is amazing. And In The Blood. In fact you will never hear a BAD Home Free song...fact.
If you want to check out just their voices (none of the "fancy" sounds), you need to listen to "Helplessly Hoping". Wow! Just wow! They've all got incredibly clear and beautiful voices!
THIS WAS FILMED IN ALABAMA U.S. KEEP CHECKING ALL HOME FREE VIDEOS SOME ARE ORIGINALS LIKE SNOW GLOBE AND CHAMPAGNE TASTE ON A BEER BUDGET.YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF GOING DOWN THE HOME FREE RABBIT HOLE AND BECOMING A HOME FRY [FAN BASE NAME] WELCOME TO THE R. HOLE.
I'm so jealous of people who get to hear Home Free for the very first time! lol I remember when I heard them for the very first time and it blew me away!
Nice reaction! Home Free is amazing. Would like to suggest When a Man Loves a Woman, Moonshine and How Great Thou Art. Thank you for reacting to Home Free! New sub.
I’d love to see a new-to-them reactor just pull up Home Free, sort it oldest to newest, and react to each one that way so you could see their evolution the way we all did. The Home Fries will delight in watching your trip down their rabbit hole.
Tim Foust is the bass. He's actually blown speakers. And Adam Rupp is the beatboxer. Watch the videos on them. You will be amazed. Thank you for reacting to them ❤
I believe Autocorrect drove this sentence off the tracks lol, so I'll try to translate: "They are the first - as far as I know - country a cappella band." Hope that helped 😆! And it would be fun (for us, too lol) and informative for you to really get to know Home Free, if you react to them singing their way to winning The Sing-Off, an American TV a cappella competition show...all videos can be found on the RUclips channel "mrduckbear11" for the best recordings of their performances and judges comments. I look forward to more great reactions, thanks!!! 😀
Yea! Another Home Free convert, they are the real deal. Uber talented and then very entertaining. They have a large selection of music and I have yet to find one that I don't love. Welcome to the Home Free rabbithole! We Home Fries are a loyal bunch and will come running to watch your reactions. Another new subscriber
If you decide to go down this rabbit hole. It's deep but, your in for a huge treat. These guys can sing anything and cover all genres of music. Check out their cover of End of the Road by Boyz II Men.
From the amount for suggestions of Homefree songs to check out I could be down this rabbit hole a very long time!! But its not a bad place to be! Thank you for your recommendation Ron, consider it added to the list 👍🏻
Yep...that harmonica still gets me...even after hundreds of times listening to this....I played a harmonica as a kid, and he is unbelievable spot on...Also...Tim does have a low voice in his solo, but a lot of reactors don't notice him drop an octave right after it.
Home Free did a live version of Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash cover) during season 4 of a competition contest called "Sing Off" season 4. They have a studio version, but I believe the live performance is better. I really enjoyed how surprised you were and I look forward to more Home Free reactions. New sub.
Great reaction! I hope you go down the Home Free rabbit hole, you will NOT be disappointed. Please check out Beautiful Star of Bethlehem by Home Free with The Oak Ridge Boys and Jeffery East.
You looked like you were enjoying yourself. This group is beyond the coolest addition to the country. Again this is why I love country music. Love your shock and reaction..
The Home Free Journey is long. They have well over 100 covers and some originals, not to mention solo projects along the way... All great. You will get a lot of subs reacting to them, us Home Fries want to see you get to 1000... And you are one closer. Enjoy!
Country has always wandered about and reason its beginnings are still great today is it shows American peoples lives, real lives real emotions are its deeply planted root right here in America. Gospel, jazz; blues, bluegrass; rockabilly; hockey tonk Nd the " juke joint blues a d bayous to the blues of Chicago and Northern centers of poverty SOUL is not just a Black music invention; but ambinfusion of all above; not external but eternally internal. home Free the very name of the group grabs hold of something inside, something so hard to sitmand just talk a out cannot be done it is sang instead.
It’s fun to listen to the original song or popular cover by other artists and then home free’s version. Their version, in my opinion will either be a great complement to the other artist or an elevated version. Their popularity is well deserved 💜
Just discovered your channel because of Home Free. I've now subscribed after watching your reaction since I can see you were truly loving the video and appreciate the talent! Looking forward to watching the other one you posted since this one! Most people see this one, or Ring of Fire, and immediately are hooked! Then the Home Fries (fans) come and the sub numbers go up! Welcome to Home Free fandom!
When tim (the bass) sings the "sleeping in my grave" part, it sounds a whole octave lower than the part before it but its actually not as deep as you think it is, hes doing something called a sub harmonic where you can use vocal fry to make it sound lower (we have something for guitar that does the same thing, I call it inverted barre chords where it sounds a whole octave lower than the notes youre playing)
Check out “ Can’t stop the feeling”. It’s a cover of the Justin Timberlake song from trolls. I like how they create their own rhythm section with their voices.
I just subscribed!! Welcome to HOME FREE HOME FREE is a county A Capella band (NO INSTRUMENTS) that does more than just country. Tim Foust, the bass (5 octave range) , Adam Rupp, the beatboxer (freak of nature), Adam Chance (Chance) is the baritone/bass, since 2016, he took over for Chris Rupp (one of the founders of the group), Rob Lundquist, tenor and Austin Browm high tenor make up the voices of angels. PLEASE listen to more.. If I know my Home Free family well (Home Fries) , they have already given you suggestions of music. LOL Thanks for the reaction
Thank you for Subscribing! It means a great deal!! 👍🏻 I’ve really enjoyed what I have see from these guys so far and can’t wait to see more! I have received so many suggestion I could turn this into a Homefree reaction channel! 😂
Oh, and welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole.... and welcome to the Home Fry's
Welcome down the rabbit hole that is Home Free. They can keep you entertained for years. I know I have been a Home Fry from the first time I heard them. Got my concert tickets for this September.
Greetings from a danish fry / new sub , just a friendly warning if you like our guys the fries / fan name will come running and we are a very loyal bunch . Home Free label themself a country acapella group but they sing all genres . We fries have a saying -- give them a phone book and they will turn it into a smash hit , much love from Denmark
Thank you so much for your comment and sub! It means a great deal! 🙏
Chance, the guy with the dark vest, played a jaw harp without having a jaw harp. Adam Rupp, the "harmonica" player also played all the drums with no drums and strangely did that record crackle sound at the beginning. You should try their Sea Shanty Medley. Besides sounding great, it is just a bunch of fun!
One of my favorites by Home Free!
Do yourself a favor and check out Home Free’s version of “When a Man Loves a Woman”, it’s fantastic!! Austin Brown, who is singing lead here, sings the lead in that one too! Welcome to the world of Home Free!
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. They do more than country as you'll find out. If you do more the Home Fries will blow up your subs and comments with suggestions. I recommend their covers of Hillibilly Bone and Some Girls Do, but also suggest you check out their version of Ed Sheeran 's Castle on The Hill. Have fun!
Fun fact about Tim Foust, the bass, however, he can also sing baritone and even high tenor parts, too -- he has a 5 octave range.
Check out "All About the Bass".
The most vocal range I've ever heard of is 3 octaves (Julie Andrews). I didn't know 5 is even possible!
@@sandrastorer5628, Axl Rose of Guns 'N Roses has a 7 octave range. I am a basso profundo with a 4 octave range. 4-5 octaves is much more common than you think. Higher voices actually tend to have narrower ranges.
@@sandrastorer5628 They are few and far between but are a treasure for A Capella groups. Tim Foust - you just heard. Geoff Castellucci of Voiceplay - another great A Capella group. Avi Kaplan (e1 to d5) was the bass singer of Pentatonix until he departed for a solo career. Avi appeared as a guest vocalist with Home Free on their rendition of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" - another great recommendation for a Home Free listen.
@@sandrastorer5628 It isn't, at least no one has shown one yet, Geoff Castellucci Has a verified 4-octave range of B0 all the way to B4.
Keep reacting to Home Free and you'll see the number of subscribers go up each time. Their followers are a large and loyal group of Home Fries (Fans), and you will draw them in with each reaction. You will be constantly amazed by Home Free.
I have all ready started to see the impact just from reacting to one song!! Incredible fan base these guys have!!
Definitely “Hillbilly Bone”!!
The only version I've heard is on the soundtrack of the Movie 'O Brother Where Art Thou', with George Clooney and John Goodman.
These guys did a fantastic job!!
Bob Dylan also did a cover of this. The original was written and performed by Richard Burnett in 1913 in Kentucky. He had six years prior to publishing the song he had been blinded in a robbers turned shooting, hence the lyrics.
I'm not a country music fan, but I LOVE Home Free! I recommend reacting to more of their songs. You'll find that Home Fries (fans of Home Free) enjoy helping Home Free and reactors to their videos by subscribing, watching and liking...helps everybody's algorithms.... right?
At the big Fiddlers Convention in MD I have heard quite a few a cappella singers, Bluegrassy as I recall…
You have a deep rabbithole to delve into!!! Tim Faust, the bass, has a 5 octave range! The beat boxer, Adam Rupp, is a 2 time beat boxer world champion!
It’s always fun to see someone discover Home Free. Glad you liked them and I look forward to seeing you explore more.
A breakdown for you: Home Free was started in 2000 by two brothers - Chris and Adam Rupp. Adam is the beatboxer in the group (sings occasionally, is a tenor), Chris sang baritone and left the group in 2016, but you will see him in older videos (usually wears a cowboy hat). The uncle of one of the other group members loaned them the money to get started and to show their gratitude they named the group after a houseboat he had - Home Free.
There have been a number of members over the years but this video shows their current line up: Beatboxer - Adam Rupp from Minnesota. In the back in the vest is Adam Chance who sings baritone although he sang bass in his previous group. He replaced Chris and to avoid confusion with Adam the beatboxer, Adam Chance is referred to as simply Chance. He is from Alabama and has a 4 octave vocal range.
In the front row, the guy in the overalls with the beard and glasses was Rob Lundquist who is from Minnesota and sings tenor. In the middle singing the lead in this song was Austin Brown, high tenor. Austin is from Georgia. The bass singer is Tim Foust. Tim is from Texas and has an incredible 5 octave vocal range. So he can sing very, very low (he’s been known to blow out speakers) and he can sing very high. Keep watching and you will hear both ends of his range.
They are the only known country a cappella group in the world. They can make you laugh in one song, feel happy in another, make you cry or make you think. They sing a lot of country but also do all forms of music. You will not regret looking further into them.
Awesome run down. As an update (or addendum) the band members currently live in Nashville, Minneapolis, and LA. Adam and Rob are in Minneapolis. Tim and Austin are in Nashville. Chance is in LA. They started in Mankato Minnesota where the Rupps grew up. The headquartered out of Minneapolis for a bit but, I believe, they are headquartered out of Nashville now. They tour extensively (they toured the UK before the pandemic) and are true showmen so it's an awesome show. They release around two to four new videos a month with some being music videos and some being either behind the scenes or snippets of their lives/histories. Enjoy! and thanks rebelpearl for the great write up.
Thank you for the background, they certainly have an incredible fan base and I can’t wait to hear more from them! 😂
@@taylorfamilyreactions: If you want a laugh, these guysxare hilarious! Check out "Story time with Tim" on RUclips to hear Tim (with the same deep speaking voice) tell the most ridiculous stories, only made better by his voice and his poker face (and the lack thereof in the others).
And I would recommend Home Frees rendition of Folsom Prison Blues a Johnny cash cover it shows the talent of the the boys.
I discovered home free couple of months ago
I dont listen to anythink else they are amazing. I love every thing about them they are lovely friendly people. I'm a young 74 year old lady, and I'm gobsmacked xxxx
I saw the light go on in your eyes and I hit the subscribe button. 😍 Welcome to the rabbit hole. Home Free's got around 150 music videos for you to react to and enjoy. They are the world's so far only, that we know of, country acapella group and they are insanely talented, skilled, funny, handsome, unique and warm-hearted and caring human beings. While they are cover they don't only do country although almost all songs are countrified, which in itself is crazy because they don't use instruments to make it country.
I'm excited to follow you down the hole! Thanks for a great reaction!
Thank you Carina for your comment and your sub! It means a great deal! 150 songs should keep me down the rabbit hole for quite some time but its not a bad place to be! 😂
@@taylorfamilyreactions Most definitely an extremely good place to be!! 😁
This is an old song but it became popular in the George Clooney movie “oh neither where art you”. You should check it out.
Tim Foust, the bass singer, has been known to blow out speakers on his really low notes. On top of that, he can also sing in the upper ranges, and has a 5-octave range. (Although he's usually in the low bass range).
I love the excitement that came over your face as you realized they were acapella.
Great reaction! Home Free is a country acapella group, but they do so much more. R&B, pop, rock, country they are versatile. The members are: First guy who sang is their tenor Austin Brown, who is classically trained. Second guy with beard and glasses is also a soulful voiced tenor to hear him in lead check out 'End of the Road' . The deep bass is Tim Foust, who has a 5 octave singing voice. He can go low and high. Check out him sharing lead in ' In the Blood'. The guy standing in back with beatboxer with dark hair and beard mak7ng jaw harp sound us the group's baritone/ bass( he does bass when Tim is singing lead) Adam Chance aka Chance. To hear him sing lead check out their cover of ' Cover me up'. And last but not least the beatboxer/ vocal percussionist Adam Rupp aka the freak of nature. He has won competitions. He can also sing but doesnt do it often. Instead his vocal percussion is the backbone of Home Free. He has a drum solo video out on youtube if you wanna check him out! Altogerher they are amazingly talented! Welcome to your Homefree journey. Thanks for taking us Home Fries ( Home Free fans) along!! Thanks for your reaction!
For something entirely different try Home Free's cover of Blue Ain't Your Color, or Hillbilly Bone, or an original song of theirs called Dive Bar Saints. Pretty much anything you choose from their extensive list of songs will be great!
"Blue Ain't Your Color" really highlights Tim's bass, and Chance also does a solo in the song. Really nice!
Welcome to the Home Free family....this is one group of very talented singers that can sing any genre! I just subbed for more Home Free! Any one of the 4 guys can sing lead ...it just depends on the song...here are some suggestions..End Of The Road (Rob left front lead tenor)...In The Blood (Tim front far right bass)...Some Girls Do (Chance (back left baritone) and Austin (front center high tenor) lead on this video...Adam (back right beat boxer)! Let the journey continue!
Adam Rupp has an incredible voice, too, but he never takes lead. He's got the voice of an angel and it gave me goosebumps the first time I heard him.
@@clpjones1964 A great chance to hear him sing a small solo is in How Great Thou Art ... he is so incredibly talented it makes my brain hurt trying to wrap it around his abilities ...
@@sandym6760 that's the one that gave me chills! They've all got beautiful voices, but his shocked me! I had no idea he could sing...let alone like an angel! Wow! He fascinates me with his talent!
@@clpjones1964 Adam Rupp sings harmony with the rest on "Helplessly Hoping" a real gem when it comes to pure harmonies.
@@themajor743 I LOVE that video!
To make this easy just give a thumb's up to every Home Free recommendation. But, if you really want a good laugh and see their abilities in several genres all in one sitting , then it is the Butts Remix that will really highlight what these fellows have going on!!!
Sounds like something I will definitely need to check out soon! Thank you for the recommendation! 👍🏻
@@taylorfamilyreactions you most definitely should, its brilliant. X
Great reaction!! Home Free has a way of leaving a person at a loss of words. They are just that good.
Welcome to the a'cappella rabbit hole. If you feel like a super country and a belly laugh combination, try their "Butts Remix". Bring your sense of humor.
Great reactions, please give a listen to “ In the blood” or “ Helplessly Hoping”. The best in harmony 💕🎶🎶🎶🦋
YES! Helplessly hoping is amazing.
Too many reactors don't get the significance of this song. Glad you got it. Their ranges and talents are epic. You MUST listen to "Tim Foust ‐ Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Stay". What a guy can do with a 5 octave range. One of a kind singer. Love your reviews btw. Cheers
Home Free fans are called Home Fries and we many.
New sub for Home Free. I don't think anyone has ever found a bad performance from Home Free. They give their own spin to what ever they cover and their originals are great. for a couple of other "Country" songs, Hillbilly Bone and Folsome Prison Blues. but they sing all genres. Original Dive Bar Saints and Land of the Free!
Thanks so much for a great surprised reaction. Home Free is the only country acapella band out there. Down below are a lot of suggested songs for Home Free so I won't add to them just yet. :) I will give you a rundown on who is who and you can take that down to keep so will know know who they are.
Front...Left to Right...Rob Lundquist (the Beard) Tenor from Minnesota...Austin Brown thin guy High Tenor, but can go lower from Georgia...Tim Foust Bass and then some from Southeast Texas...Back...Left to Right...Adam Chance (called Chance to tell the two Adams apart) Baritone/Bass from Alabama...Adam Rupp Beatboxer and can sing also from Minnesota. There is also Chris Rupp wears a cowboy hat or cap, left the group to go solo and doing well. He and Adam Rupp his brother founded the group. You will see him in the early songs, he was instrumental in getting Adam Chance to join Home Free......Well that is a lot, but I hope it is helpful for you. (just print and stick on a wall...LOL)
Thanks again. (Liked and subscribed)
I love your reactions to Home Free. Tim Foust, the bass, does have an incredible range. If you loved his lower register in "Man of Constant Sorrow," you need to check out their Dire Straits cover of "Brothers in Arms." Tim sings the lead vocal and reaches low notes you never knew existed!! This is an emotional song...haunting yet beautiful. I hope you get a chance to react to this one. I think it just might be my favorite Home Free cover.
As far as anyone knows Home Free is the only country a cappella group. They do sing other genres though.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ME SOME "HOME FREE" ALMOST AS MUCH AS "CHRIS STAPLETON"!!!!!! I AM HOPING BEYOND HOPE THAT A COLLABORATION WILL SOON BE IN THE WORKS. THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT IT WILL DEFINITELY BE THE COLLABORATION WE ALL DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS NEEDED. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you imagine it!!!!!! 🤯
I've been following Home Free for about 15 years now and I love all music but these guys are fantastic and thar music does not stick to one style, welcome to the rabbit hole.
New sub here. Home Free is a treasure trove of surprises for you explore! I have never heard a song I didn't like since I first listened them . I really look forward to watching you discover their exquisite harmonies and killer humor. Country Fried Pop, The Butts Remix, Moonshine, and Helplessly Hoping are just a few of my favorites!
Thank you Charlotte for your comment, recommendation and sub! It means a great deal 🙏
Home Free is the only all vocal/acappella country band!! Pure awesomeness!!💗
Ive really enjoyed the two songs I have seen so far! Can’t wait to hear more.
Love your reactions, it reminds me of my first time hearing Home Free. A couple that will keep you wanting more are How great thou art, Blue ain’t your color, Helplessly Hoping. Bass is Tim Foust, Beatboxer is Adam Rupp, Baritone at the left in the back is Chance, Lead Tenor front left is Rob Lundquist and the high tenor in the middle is Austin Brown. They are all amazing at what they do and blend great together, but you already figured that out.
They don’t take themselves too seriously so their funny side you can find in All about that bass (incl. Gag reel) Kentucky fried pop medley and guilty pleasures derailed. Even though they have fun with those songs the singing is still amazing. I know I rapidly became a Home Fry once I found them.
Thank you Annelies 🙏
These guys definitely have a great fan base which I clearly a testament to how humble they seem to be! 👍🏻
If you do Guilty Pleasures Derailed, just sit back and enjoy the ride, don't bother critiquing. It's called Derailed for a reason, lol (as one reactor put it, they 'Broje' him ... ROFLOL)
Check out "Misty Mountains" by Peter Hollens, featuring Tim Foust, Home Free's bass singer. Peter sings the high notes and layers his voice over 120 times to achieve a choir effect. Tim brings the earthshaking bass! It's a masterpiece and a cover of a song from the Hobbit movie. Enjoy!
Check out the same song by Geoff Castellucci.
@@markw3598
Yes! 🔥😎 I love his version and the new Skyrim Dragon Borne from all of Voiceplay is epic!
I think Home Free is the best band out there! Each one is great, from the beatboxer, Adam; to first tenor, Austin; to lead tenor, Rob with the beard; to the Bass/baritone, Chance; to the deep bass, Tim! They are all superb and always sing beautifully. You did a great reaction. Here’s some of my favorites: “In the Blood,” “ How Great Thou Art,” “Your Man,” “All About That Bass,” “Sea Shanty Medley,” and at least 50 more! Thanks!
For pure Harmonies their "Helplessly Hoping" is amazing! Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Come on down the "rabbit hole" with us. These guys are each so very talented -- when they choose a song to record they each sing the lead and then the group determines who sounds best. No prima donnas, just great entertainment and; they will poke fun at themselves and do some funny songs as well. They are simply the best!
Ive enjoyed every minute of it so far and can’t wait to find out far far this rabbit hole goes! 😂
WOOO HOO! Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! You CAN NOT gi wrong with anything by HF!
As far as I know, Home Free is the only a-capella group that sings mostly country music. They do occasionally sing some of the rock and roll oldies.....everything they sing is just beautiful. I'm not a big gospel fan, but they sing gospel just stunningly. I have never heard anything or anyone like them.....they are amazing. They have been my favorite group for the last five or six years. I wasn't a country fan until I started listening to them.
Welcome to the phenomenal world of Home Free! These guys started in my state of Minnesota, and they have just gotten better and better ever since then! I didn't read through all the comments, so I apologize if I'm repeating information.
The group members:
Rob Lundquist (far left) - The Beard. Beautiful smooth tenor voice and a constant source of humor.
Adam Chance (second from the left) - The Other Adam. Often goes by Chance to avoid confusion. Wonderful baritone/bass voice who takes over for Tim on the bass when Tim does lead vocals.
Austin Brown (middle) - The Attic. High soaring tenor voice and another source of humor.
Adam Rupp (second from the right) - The Machine. Probably swallowed a percussion section and some other random instruments as a kid. Pretty sure he's not human.
Tim Foust (far right) - The Cellar. His lowest notes come from the mines of Moria.
Also, in some of their older videos, you will see another guy with very little hair often wearing a cowboy hat; that is Adam Rupp's brother Chris, who left the group a few years ago for a solo career and was replaced by Chance.
EVERYTHING that Home Free does is top-tier, but I'll recommend a few to continue with:
" How Great Thou Art" and "Helplessly Hoping" - sheer vocal perfection.
"All About That Bass," "I Swear," and "The Butts Medley" - the hilariously fun side of the guys.
"Ring of Fire" (which features Avi Kaplan, the original bass from Pentatonix) and "Folsom Prison Blues" - more of Tim's insane low voice.
"Do You Hear What I Hear?" - probably my favorite Home Free song.
Have a blast going down the rabbit hole, and welcome to the dedicated group of fans, the Home Fries!
Thanks for the background on the band Todd, its amazing to see just what a great fan base these guys have!
welcome to the world of homefree they have 150+ videos you can't go wrong with them just subscribed tim is the best when it comes to bass but he can sing high too check out end of the road by them too
Yep, Home Free is the first all-vocal country group. They are amazing!
Thanks for your comment Belinda! I 100% agree with you! Amazing!! 👍🏻
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit 🐇 hole. Your mission, if you decide to accept it is to continue on this journey to complete enlightenment of what HF is capable of with no instruments of any kind other than their individual voices. While they do many country renditions, of which I recommend Hillbilly Bone & then Champagne Dreams on a Beer Budget which is a HF original. Then on to Butts remix for an amusing ride across your funny bone, Can’t Stop the Feeling, In The Middle & Fulsom Prison Blues until finally pulling into the last station on this leg of your journey which is their cover of Mayday to complete your HF introduction. Us Home Fries (The HF fans) will join you on your continued HF travels through all of their incredible videos. We’re packed & ready so get going !!
I accept the mission and can’t wait to see just how far this journey will take me! 😂
Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget.
Oh boy, can they all sing. I just discovered them last year during the pandemic and they’re amazing. Adam Rupp, beatboxer, does drums, harmonica, bug sounds, all kinds of sounds. He has a video on RUclips called Adam Rupp Drum Solo which is amazing. Tim Foust, is the bass and has a 5 octave range so he can sing low and sing high. Austin Brown is the high tenor and lead here. Rob Lundquist is a tenor (glasses). Adam Chance (we call him Chance) is the baritone/bass and he did the mouth harp sound at the beginning and end of the video. They can all beatbox to some degree and they sing all genres of music. Try Country Roads, Die a Happy Man, I Can’t Outrun You, Folsom Prison Blues to hear more great harmonies. Good Reaction!
Thank you so much for the background on these guys! They have been incredible so far and I don’t see that changing! 👍🏻
Their cover of "Ring of Fire" will blow your mind at the end. Bass so low you can hardly hear it 🤯
My favorite country songs from them are:
Meet in the meddle
Hillbilly bone
Friends in low places
Down to the honkytonk
The gambler
Well please consider them all added to the list! 👍🏻
@@taylorfamilyreactions actually, almost all of their songs’ve got country twang! They have the ability to transform any genres to country music :-)
Oh I just loved your reaction! That's what it was like for me when I first heard them too. I've been hooked ever since. You never know exactly what to expect from them except that it's going to be incredible! They're so versatile you wouldnt believe! Again, great job reacting!
Totally wasn’t what I expected but loved every second of it!! 👍🏻
you should check out their version of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire
If you haven’t heard Austin Brown from this group singing “when a man loves a woman” you have to check him out. He is awesome❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
There have been many suggestions, so I'll just give a couple Home Free songs: Everybody Walkin This Land and My Church. However, pick anything. You won't we disappointed.
I hope you realise you are going to be inundated with suggestions for Home Free songs/videos to react to. You'll be kept busy for quite a while. My favourites are Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art, Country Fried Pop etc etc, enjoy your journey down the rabbit hole x
You wasn’t wrong!! 🤯
I can now turn this into the Homefree reaction channel! 😂
Home Fry here ... Thanks for letting us see your introduction to our guys :)
As the Home Fries start coming in, you'll see a lot of recommendations for Mayday. Please, please, PLEASE don't react to it until you have watched enough of their videos that you can put a name to each voice, and can close your eyes and picture in your mind exactly who is singing. Trust me, THEN it will blow your mind, and you'll appreciate the absolutely jaw-dropping moments that we had when it came out. Trust me, it's worth the wait ;)
In the meantime, check out both versions they have of Ring of Fire, the Butts Medley, In the Blood, Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art, Go Rest High On That Mountain, End of The Road, Helplessly Hoping, Elvira, The Gambler, Sea Shanty Medley, Do You Hear What I Hear, Country Roads .... The list goes on and on and on. These guys Excel at so MANY Genres, you will be EXTREMELY hard pressed to find a song you DON'T like. This is one Rabbit Hole you WON'T regret going down, if you choose to enter the world of the Home Fries.
The first singer -- the one with a voice that can make Angels weep -- is Austin Brown, check out their When a Man Loves a Woman to see how perfect his voice truly is -- if you haven't figured it out yet before you get to that one. He worked hard to lose his country twang in his career -- and they had him bring it back for this song (he really is from the deep South).
Rob (beard and overalls) -- the one who sounds like he gargles with warm honey, whose voice flows over and around you like a down comforter in the dead of winter -- is actually from Minnesota.
Adam Chance (just called 'Chance' to avoid confusion) is the one doing the sound of the Mouth Harp (I played one when I was younger, we called it a Jew's Harp, through) throughout the song. He's also from the South, and has a voice that is like an old friend -- you never get tired of hearing it. He was the Bass for the group he was in previously, but gives that spot up to Tim here.
Tim Foust, the basso profundo -- as the saying goes, "You ain't seen nothin' yet!". He has literally blown sub-woofers in live concerts, and you can feel the floor and your chest vibrating when he drops down to some of his low notes. You'll get a -- tiny -- feel for his 5 Octave range when you listen to him in Ring of Fire. For more of his low notes, check out Misty Mountains with Peter Hollens, Folsom Prison Blues .. pretty much most of their songs you'll pick up his bass undertones, but in those he takes center stage.
Adam Rupp, the beatboxer affectionately called the 'Freak of Nature', started the group along with his brother Chris. Chris left a few years ago to start another group with their sister (yes, the whole FAMILY is super talented), but you'll see him in the earlier videos. When he left, he hand-picked Chance to be his replacement. Anyway, for more of what Adam can do, watch his drum solos. During their live performances, while the others are resting their vocal chords, he does his solo -- then goes on to finish the Concert just as strong and consistent as he was in the FIRST half. Oh, and by the way, he can also sing and harmonize just like the others. He just PREFERS to beatbox, and we ALL get to reap the benefits of his amazing talents as a result.
Oh, and for the record -- 5 guys, right? Well, in those same 5 guys they have:
5 Tenors
2 Basses
5 who can do some beatboxing
and 1 Freak of Nature (you'll swear that man swallowed not only an entire drum set, but that he snacks on other instruments at will)
Ready to join the Home Fries in seeing and appreciating what our guys can do yet? ;)
Thank you Sandy for an incredible background into what I am finding to be an incredible group!
I think every Home Fry has mentioned that I’m not allowed to Mayday just yet and I will definitely honour the request, but the suspense is starting to kill me! 😂
I love watching people react to this for the first time. 🌺✌️
So happy to find you found Home Free!! I would absolutely love to see you check out more of them! A quick intro to them! They were founded in Minnesota by the vocal percussionist and his brother(who sang baritone for them, but has since has left to work on other music - Chance(short dark hair and beard) replaced him) Fans are called Home Fries : )
The members are
Tim Foust: Bass - pretty easy to identify, but has shoulder length brown hair in most videos, but recently cut it and has a gray stripe in it(which he calls Bonnie)
Austin Brown: High tenor - shoulder length curly reddish hair (he trained in college to sing theatrically, and at one point sung for the voices of liberty at Epcot! He worked really hard to learn how to sing without his Georgia accent, but earlyHome Free met him when they were entertainers on a cruise ship, and when their tenor retired, they asked if he would join except with his accent back 😂)
Rob Lunquist: Lower tenor - long beard and glasses : )
Adam Chance(called Chance): current baritone - short dark hair and beard. He replaced Chris Rupp, and he used to sing bass for another a cappella group Streetcorner Symphony(which actually competed on the show The Sing-Off in the same season that Home Free won - The Sing-Off is the same show that Pentatonix won) Since he is able to sing bass, Home Free has gotten a lot more opportunity to let Tim sing lead now!
Adam Rupp: beatboxer - pretty easy to identify too, but will have either short or long blondish hair. He’s just incredible, sometimes called a freak of nature for the sounds he can make. He also majored in trumpet performance in college, which probably helped him develop breathing techniques, and is a tenor when he sings which really surprised me.
And Chris Rupp: bast baritone - you might see him in older videos if you check any out, he’s bald or wearing a cowboy hat. He was pretty much the driving force behind forming this group!
Have tons of fun if you check out more, they really don’t have a bad song, so you can’t go wrong 😊
Thank you for the background on these guys!! I can’t believe how good they sound together and how amazing they are individually as well!! They have been an incredible surprise to me and I can’t wait to see more! 👍🏻
@@taylorfamilyreactions I’m excited!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Home Free!! Check out their othe stuff. You won't be dissapointed!
Just subbed... love Home Free! They really do all genres! For more country, check out their cover of Hillbilly Bone.
Thank you so much for your Sub Leandra! It means a great deal! I will definitely add your suggestion to the list 👍🏻
They are much more than a country vocal group.
Listen to How Great Thou Art.
Or for more country their cover of Take Me Home Country Road by John Denver is amazing.
And In The Blood.
In fact you will never hear a BAD Home Free song...fact.
I absolutely love home free. You know you are good when you sing Acappella
If you want to check out just their voices (none of the "fancy" sounds), you need to listen to "Helplessly Hoping". Wow! Just wow! They've all got incredibly clear and beautiful voices!
We love Home Free and in concert, they are just as impressive. Home Fry from Australia
Home Free brought me here. We Home Fries are a devoted bunch. I see I have a lot to catch up with but please keep the HF reactions rolling.

Thank you! Ive enjoyed every minute of it so far I can’t see it ending any time soon! 👍🏻
I'm so jealous of people who get to hear Home Free for the very first time! lol
I remember when I heard them for the very first time and it blew me away!
Nice reaction! Home Free is amazing. Would like to suggest When a Man Loves a Woman, Moonshine and How Great Thou Art. Thank you for reacting to Home Free! New sub.
Thank you for your comment and your sub! 🙏
It means a great deal 👍🏻
I’d love to see a new-to-them reactor just pull up Home Free, sort it oldest to newest, and react to each one that way so you could see their evolution the way we all did. The Home Fries will delight in watching your trip down their rabbit hole.
Tim Foust is the bass. He's actually blown speakers. And Adam Rupp is the beatboxer. Watch the videos on them. You will be amazed. Thank you for reacting to them ❤
They ate the first as farcas i know only country accapella band. They won season 4 of “sing off”
I believe Autocorrect drove this sentence off the tracks lol, so I'll try to translate: "They are the first - as far as I know - country a cappella band." Hope that helped 😆! And it would be fun (for us, too lol) and informative for you to really get to know Home Free, if you react to them singing their way to winning The Sing-Off, an American TV a cappella competition show...all videos can be found on the RUclips channel "mrduckbear11" for the best recordings of their performances and judges comments. I look forward to more great reactions, thanks!!! 😀
Oh...and I also just subscribed for more Home Free 😉 Something tells me you just may enjoy this ride 😁
Yea! Another Home Free convert, they are the real deal. Uber talented and then very entertaining. They have a large selection of music and I have yet to find one that I don't love. Welcome to the Home Free rabbithole! We Home Fries are a loyal bunch and will come running to watch your reactions. Another new subscriber
HOME FREE IS GREAT They have a lot of great music for you to be excited about . Welcome to Home Free and all their fans
If you decide to go down this rabbit hole. It's deep but, your in for a huge treat. These guys can sing anything and cover all genres of music. Check out their cover of End of the Road by Boyz II Men.
From the amount for suggestions of Homefree songs to check out I could be down this rabbit hole a very long time!! But its not a bad place to be!
Thank you for your recommendation Ron, consider it added to the list 👍🏻
Yep...that harmonica still gets me...even after hundreds of times listening to this....I played a harmonica as a kid, and he is unbelievable spot on...Also...Tim does have a low voice in his solo, but a lot of reactors don't notice him drop an octave right after it.
I'm sure by now you've discovered that with these gentleman it is indeed all brilliant! 😍😍😍😍😍
I love how you couldn't stop smiling. They do that to me, too. You might try Can't Stop That Feeling. You'll be smiling AND dancing.
Home Free did a live version of Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash cover) during season 4 of a competition contest called "Sing Off" season 4. They have a studio version, but I believe the live performance is better. I really enjoyed how surprised you were and I look forward to more Home Free reactions. New sub.
Great reaction! I hope you go down the Home Free rabbit hole, you will NOT be disappointed. Please check out Beautiful Star of Bethlehem by Home Free with The Oak Ridge Boys and Jeffery East.
Excellent suggestion!
As you would say- you’re reaction was BRILLIANT! 😂
😂
Not only country! Just watch more of Home Free, please! ♥️
New subscriber!! Keep the Home Free reactions coming!!
Thank you Amanda 🙏
I really like to see someone discover Home Free.
Can't go wrong ANY of their songs and covers
Oh, and Home Free got you my sub! looking forward to more!
Thank you so much for your comments and your sub! I can’t wait to check out more from these guys! It’s been amazing so far! 👍🏻
You looked like you were enjoying yourself. This group is beyond the coolest addition to the country. Again this is why I love country music. Love your shock and reaction..
Allll of Home Free is so good...no instruments...wow wow
Love your reaction you should react to their cover of "Take Me Home Country Road" by John Denver I think you will really like that one.
The Home Free Journey is long. They have well over 100 covers and some originals, not to mention solo projects along the way... All great. You will get a lot of subs reacting to them, us Home Fries want to see you get to 1000... And you are one closer. Enjoy!
Thank you Ed! Hopefully I am now on my way to becoming a fully fledged home fry!
A couple of my favorites are "Ring of Fire" and "In the Blood".
Thank you for your suggestions! You can consider them both very much on the list 👍🏻
Country has always wandered about and reason its beginnings are still great today is it shows American peoples lives, real lives real emotions are its deeply planted root right here in America.
Gospel, jazz; blues, bluegrass; rockabilly; hockey tonk Nd the " juke joint blues a d bayous to the blues of Chicago and Northern centers of poverty
SOUL is not just a Black music invention; but ambinfusion of all above; not external but eternally internal.
home Free the very name of the group grabs hold of something inside, something so hard to sitmand just talk a out cannot be done it is sang instead.
If you truly want to hear our Dragon Tim growl, check out Misty Mountains Peter Hollens Ft. Tim Foust.
It’s fun to listen to the original song or popular cover by other artists and then home free’s version. Their version, in my opinion will either be a great complement to the other artist or an elevated version. Their popularity is well deserved 💜
Just discovered your channel because of Home Free. I've now subscribed after watching your reaction since I can see you were truly loving the video and appreciate the talent! Looking forward to watching the other one you posted since this one! Most people see this one, or Ring of Fire, and immediately are hooked! Then the Home Fries (fans) come and the sub numbers go up! Welcome to Home Free fandom!
Thank you Beth! It means a great deal that you subbed to the channel!! I’m loving HF and looking forward to before a fully fledged Home Fry!! 😂
Charlie Daniels Band the devil went down to georgia
Country music is not always "entertaining". It is life.
When tim (the bass) sings the "sleeping in my grave" part, it sounds a whole octave lower than the part before it but its actually not as deep as you think it is, hes doing something called a sub harmonic where you can use vocal fry to make it sound lower (we have something for guitar that does the same thing, I call it inverted barre chords where it sounds a whole octave lower than the notes youre playing)
Check out “ Can’t stop the feeling”. It’s a cover of the Justin Timberlake song from trolls. I like how they create their own rhythm section with their voices.
I just subscribed!!
