The original sound effect was simulating a jaw harp, a traditional instrument in some country music. The names of the group are Tim Foust, the deep bass, Austin Brown, the high tenor (the lead singer in this song), Rob Lundquist, the other tenor (glasses and beard), Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, and Adam Chance, the baritone and here also doing the jaw harp effect.
Hi Douglas - in my opinion, what Adam Rupp imitates is not a Jaw Harp, but a harmonica (see also the comment below by "Jan Hankins". Adam Rupp was also asked about this in another video and explained there how to create this hamonica touch. Adam Chance - that's the last man seen, produces a sound like a DigderyDoo. This song is over 100 years old but was made popular in the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou" with george Cloony in the leading role.
@@rolandratz1 What you hear as a digeridoo, an Australian instrument, most of the rest of us hear as a jaw harp, an instrument that would have been quite common and familiar in the rural southern US. I leave it to others to decide which is more likely to have been the intended target sound.
Ok so Adam Rupp is the beat boxer, so Adam Chance is called just Chance. You DESPERATELY need to react to: Helpless Hoping, The Butts Medley, and The Gambler. 😎
A capella literally means no instruments. All sounds you hear from Home Free are made without the use of instruments. Adam (the beat boxer) is outstanding (and is arguably the best). He makes all those noises (including the "harmonica" with his mouth/voice). They all do some noises but Adam is the major percussionist.
Awesome reaction ❤! It's so great to see people discover the wonders with Home free. You have SO much amazing music by Home free to listen to! Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and discover Home free again - so much awesomeness!!! Welcome to the rabbit hole of Home free - enjoy the ride ❤😊👍🎧🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶
Great reaction, Thanks. This song was filmed at Oak Hollow Farm in Fairhope, Alabama and yes it was raining. Adam Chance from Alabama, was doing the Jaw Harp in the more noticeable beginning and end...they call him Chance so he isn't confused with Adam Rupp the beatboxer from Minnesota...Tim Foust is from Southeast Texas...you will notice Tim cut his hair during the pandemic...Austin Brown is from Georgia...Rob Lundquist is from Minnesota. Tim and Chance will trade out the bass when needed. Might want to react to...9 to 5 beatboxing breakdown...it is live...In The Blood...What We Ain't Got...Honey I'm Good...Feelin It...for fun. Thanks again.
This is the thing everyone misses about this group they all beatbox they've all covered for each other so each other could have a solo they respect each other but yes there is one beatboxer that is beyond the others there is one singer that is beyond the others in this ranger that range but together wow
They all have training in multiple instruments and I think all have degrees in music. Austin, the one with a hat, trained classically and trained in musical theater. He’s the high tenor with 5 octave range. Adam Rupp is beatboxer extraordinaire and sings tenor, Adam chance is bass and baritone and called Chance, and Tim Foust bass with 5+ octave range. The song told a story of unattached ramblers, catching trains and leaving the women in their lives and pretty much dying alone. Johnny Cash song. Also performed in movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou. Try How Great Thou Art for full on 5 part harmony (no beatboxing) set in the Austrian Alps and the best soaring version I’ve heard. For some funky arrangement try Do You Hear What I Hear. Although a Christmas song it’s worth hearing any time of year. All of these are older performances. No auto tune, no instruments just voice and Rupp uses parts of his body sometimes. I hope this is helpful
Yes, it was raining while they did the video. They were in southern Alabama. Yes, Adam Rupp, the Beat Boxer is one of the founders of the group. His brother, Chris left 5 years ago to go solo. Welcome to the Rabbit Hole of HOME FREE ❤️‼️❤️. It’s a a great fun ride ❤️‼️❤️ They share lead depending on the song and who fits it. They collaborated with Avi only on “RING OF FIRE”
Excellent reaction fellas ! These guys are just so darn talented. Chris Rupp left the band in May of 2016 & he hand picked his replacement, which was Adam Chance who in the band is called just Chance, to avoid confusion with the beatboxer. Next time it would be great to see you chose one of their originals to react to. I would suggest " *DIVE BAR SAINTS* " it's a great song that was written just for them, by their friend Arliss Allbritton.
Great reaction! So much talent in these guys! Here are songs where you can see each member shine. Austin Brown their tenor 'When a man loves a Woman', Rob Lundquist the other tenor ' End of the Road', Adam Chance baritone/ bass ' Cover me up', Tim Foust their bass ' In the Blood' or low bass can be heard in Misty Mountains from the Hobbit by Peter Hollens featuring Tim Foust. And Adam Rupp beatboxer/ vocal percussionist has a drum solo video out on youtube. And also Home Free is known for their sense of humor to see examples if that check out Butts Medley, All about that bass, Champagne taste on a beer budget. Thank you for sharing your Home Free journey with us!
There are multiple Adam Rupp drum solos out on RUclips. As a note to our reactors here, please don't just go with the first one that shows up on a search. That is likely to be the one from 2015. It has a lot of hits because it's old. Find a more recent one where he shows off some Michael Jackson's Billie Jean moves & sound. He's constantly developing his skills, so the older videos aren't in any way representative of his current abilities.
Keep in mind as you go on this journey that every one of these guys can do some sound effects and beatboxing. Adam Rupp just does the majority of it. Adam Chance, called Chance, (back left) is doing the jaw harp sound that you thought was a digeredoo. Chris Rupp did co-found the group with his brother Adam as you said. He left in 2016 to pursue solo and other collabs and chose Adam Chance as his replacement.
What must be said - I have the impression that the band members in each video (and I think I've seen and heard them all) have a lot of fun at work. I would even increase that and claim that they have a LOT of homor and can also laugh at themselves.
Love Home Free. Everything is with their mouths. Chance did the mouth harp sound (sounds like a didgeridoo). He was the last guy filmed in the video. This was filmed in s. Alabama and that gator is real. Rob is the tenor with glasses. Austin was the lead here and he is the high tenor. Tim is the bass. Chance is the baritone/bass and Adam is the beatboxer. He can do drums, harmonica, bugs, all kinds of sounds. If you’d like to hear more of Adam watch the Adam Rupp Drum Solo on youtube. Amazing stuff. Tim has a 5 octave range so he can sing bass all the way up to tenor. This song is over 100 years old but was made popular in the movie O Brother Where Art Thou. They can sing all genres of music. Helplessly Hoping, Seven Bridges Road, Country Roads to hear more great harmonies. My son was in Belgium in 2011-2012 for studies. He stayed on Avenue Louise. We visited and saw Brussels and Grand Place. Beautiful city!
Check out "Misty Mountains" by Peter Hollens, featuring Tim Foust. It's a cover of a song from the Hobbit movie. Tim gives more low bass as he stares through your soul.
Thank you for your reactions. If you'd like vids with narratives by Home Free I suggest, "Honey, I'm Good", "Leave this Town", "Hillbilly Bone", "Sold!", and "Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get it On". For fun, I suggest "Butts Remix" and "All About that Bass" and . For beautiful harmonies I suggest "How Great Thou Art". For Tim's bass I suggest "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Your Man". You can't really go wrong with any song you pick. Enjoy.
All Vocal.Chance starts & ends with jaws harp sound, Adam Rupp doing rums, Harmonica & more! In live onstage performance Austin joins beatboxer Adam Rupp or harmonica duet!! All members can do drum sounds! Watch 9 to 5! Midway through they do Beatbox routine!! Nice Reaction! Listen to How Great Thou Art “. Elvira, CatchMe if you can”. “End of the Road”. Life is a Highway”. “Auld lang syne”. “7 Bridges Road” “When a Man loves a woman” “Helplessly hoping”!! Dive right in...there’s so many more to listen to!!! Can’t wait for your next reaction!!
The reptile at the beginning and end is an alligator. The US does have one species of crocodile in the Florida Everglades but they are rare. Alligators on the other hand are common along the Gulf of Mexico. In Louisiana they jokingly call them “yard dogs”. [Alligator - rounded snout with no protruding teeth]. Oh and yes, of course Home Free made all the sounds with their mouths. Thanks for your reaction
Adam Chance is the second bass. He is doing the juice harp or digiridoo sounds. Adam Rupp is the beat boxer. Rob has the black beard. Austin was wearing the hat. He's in the middle. Tim Foust is the bass.
You are one of the few reviewers of this song that have noticed and commented that after Tim's solo, he comes back in with the others a whole octave lower.
Adam Rupp's brother Chris started the band and was the video editor as well for them. As such, he has made some reaction videos on YT of him reacting to his own videos with home Free. You should react to their cover of "Ring Of Fire", then watch Chris's reaction to it for more "Behind the scenes" Easter eggs. Enjoy!
To hear Tim go even lower but not the lowest would be Folsum Prison Blues. Pure Harmony all 5 singing How Great Thou Art and Helplessly Hoping, Originals Dive Bar Saints and Land of the Free
These guys are the best out there !!!! I have heard a LOT of other groups just like them. I will say voiceplay and pentotonix are also good. Can't touch these guys though. Check out " Ring Of Fire" now that deep at the end!!!!
This song has been around for a long time and has been covered by a variety of artists. But it's best known for being in the movie "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" with George Clooney (in which George Clooney did some singing).
The whole song is a story about a rambler who has been in trouble (6 years) and doesn’t have long term relationships (maybe your friends think I’m just a stranger) leaves (ride that northern train) and the next time you’ll see him will be likely when he’s dead (the promise we are given). Hope this helps with the story
The Sing Off tour included a Beat Box Off which included Adam Rupp, Layne Stein from VoicePlay, and... argh I'm drawing a blank on his name... another beatboxer. It's awesome.
Chris Rupp and Adam Rupp co-founded the group. Adam is trained in Trumpet which is where he gets his incredible breathing techniques. Chris left to pursue a solo career and helped in picking out Adam "Chance" as his replacement. They came across Austin on a cruise ship they were both performing on. I don't remember how they came across Tim. But now that they have Chance, he can cover bass when Tim takes lead, and I think he brings a lot to the band. Chris also has some reaction/review videos where he talks about the older HF videos and has background info. Chris basically talked Adam into taking up beatboxing...and Adam is a perfectionist. I think this is the perfect blend of 5 voices. BTW, Adam sings Tenor when not beat boxing. Check out "Helplessly Hoping", "How great thou art" for 5 part harmonies.
Second on "How Great Thou Art". It is a religious song, but you don't have to be religious or a Christian to appreciate the beauty of the song, the harmonies, and the scenery (shot in the Austrian Alps). I'm an agnostic and love "How Great Thou Art".
You are correct...Avi the original bass singer of PTX is in Home Free's Ring of Fire cover by Johnny Cash.😃 you will truly be amazed if you watch it!! Avi & Tim are friends,both PTX and Home Free won the tv singing competition show called the Sing Off.PTX won the first year,Home Free the second...and in a close third place would be Voiceplay who I can't remember if they actually won,just know they're amazing as well!!😃enjoy the ride!!✌
From left to right, Rob Lundquist (glasses) tenor Rear, Adam Chance, baritone Centre, Austin Brown, high tenor Rear, Adam Rupp, beatboxer, and freak of nature, makes All sorts of sounds Right, Tim Foust, bass, with a 5 octave range that can hit tenor, and also low enough to bust speakers !
FORGOT TO SAY, THEY ALL CAN BEATBOX BUT NOTHING LIKE ADAM. CHANCE DID THE JAW HARP IN THIS SONG. THE RECORD SCRATCHING IN THE INTRO WAS DONE BY ADAM RUPP . IN LIVE CONCERTS , ADAM AND AUSTIN DO A HARMONICA DUET IN THIS SONG.
Home Free is: Earlier Years Chris Rupp (usually wearing a Cowboy Hat & always smiling) and Adam Rupp, the Beatboxer founded the Group. Chris went Solo in 2016 with which he is doing Very Well! Adam Chance who goes by Chance was brought in to replace Chris! Chance is the Baritone that has a 4 Octave Range. He can replace Tim, the Group's Bassist when needed as Chance was the Bassist in his previous Group before Home Free. Back to Adam Rupp, he's the incredibly talented Beatboxer and can sing well too! His Beatboxing is above and beyond any other Beatboxer that I have seen! He's also won several Beatboxing Championships to boot!😁😁 Now to Tim, the Group's Bassist has a 5 Octave Range so he can Lead the Group as a Bassist or a Tenor or something in between! He's Phenomenal and he's also taught some other Bassists from other Acapella Group's to be able to do certain things that allow them to get Lower and hit Notes they weren't able to before now. The Bearded Singer is the Group's Tenor and he is Awesome! Such a Creamy Tone and at times his Range is incredible too! To end the Group's Members is Austin the Group's High Tenor. This man is unbelievable! He can hit the highest of the highest of notes and he still can do Low Notes almost Baritone standards! Now hopefully you can get caught up with the Group's Members!
oh, great reaction, thank you. Now you need to check out their other extremely popular song with Avi, called "Ring of Fire" and "Misty Mountain". You''ll love those. Cheers,
And this is a cover of the version of the song used in the movie. It was written in 1913 and first recorded in 1928. It's been covered by lots pf people since then, including Bob Dylan.
Adam Chance, called Chance, is the one on the left with the dark vest on. The instrument he's doing is called the Jew's Harp, jaw harp, or mouth harp, not a didgeridoo. They are Southerners, not Australian. Check out Adam Rupp's drum solo video; he does a didgeridoo in the middle of than amazing genius Also, in older videos you may notice a man you don't see here who is alway in a cowboy hat. That's Chris Rupp, Adam's brother and co-founder of the group. He left to become a music producer and that's when Chance joined.You'll see him with the other guys in All About That Bass, the Country Fried Pop Medley, and the Butts Medley.
Rob does indeed rap in the “Butts Medley.” So many good ones! “Elvira” is probably my favourite. “All About the Bass” is fun (and funny). Really, you won’t find a bad one.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. There are a lot of songs to choose from. If you want to hear funny songs by them check out ALL ABOUT THE BASS, THE BUTTS MEDLEY, and CHAMPAGNE TASTE ON A BEER BUDGET. To hear more of Tim check out RING OF FIRE, FOLSOM PRISON BLUES, FLOWERS ON THE WALL and HONEY I’M GOOD. You really can’t go wrong with any of their songs. Just don’t watch MAYDAY until you learn the guys names and their voices.
Home Free does country for the most part but are quite capable of any genre. There are 2 spiece of crocodile in the U.S. Both live in the Florida Everglades and are rarely seen. The alligator is the prominent crocadilian and is common among the souther states from Florida to Texas.
I can help you with where the video was filmed. I got to ask a question at their concert in December when they were at Kansas City, MO. My hubby and I went! Adam Chance, the one who beat on the guitar in the Sea Chanty video, grew up in Alabama. I asked him if the video was filmed on his parents' property and he said, "No, it was down the road about 5 miles from his parents' house. Adam Chance said the alligator is real though. I told him I know all about the gators down south because my sister lives in Alabama. Adam Chance did do the digeridoo sound only using his mouth.🙂
Wait till you hear their "Ring of Fire" featuring Avi Kaplan, the base of Pentatnix who had left that acapella group. Imagine the two bases, Avi and Tim!! Yeah, it's that good!
You guys are so funny! Love it. And Home Free is my favorite and I don’t even like country music. Many good suggestions in the comments. Mayday is fantastic. Not sure why nobody ever suggests “Do You Hear What I Hear”. It is amazing!
Do yourself a favor and check out Home Free’s version of “When a Man Loves a Woman”! Austin Brown, the lead singer here & high tenor, sings the lead for that one too. It’s fantastic! Please react to it too! Thanks!
The song is from the movie: O'Brother, were art Thou (With George clooney). The place they are - is inspired from the same movie. My favorite is: Adam Chance... (The baryton).
Hi Anja! Well, I actually have watched the scene where they sing that song in the movie, I was really interested :p but apparently, George Clooney didn't sing the song on the recordings, someone else did :p
Since you asked… A Cheat Sheet: of shorts Home Free is a country a cappella group but they don’t stay in their assigned genre. They do all cover songs across the board. Their fan base call themselves Home Fries. Tim Foust (bass) can go as low as G1, not found on the standard keyboard. Some say his low notes are quite emasculating. Has, in fact, blown speakers (there’s videos out there of it). He actually has an impressive 5 octave range. It’s notable, that despite his fame, he’s very humble. He was inducted into the Museum of the Gulf Coast's music hall of fame January, 22, 2020, video of it online. Adam Rupp, founding member and the beat boxer (yes that’s a harmonica sound he’s creating without the instrumentin Man of Constant Sorrow) has won at least two awards (that I’m aware of) in beat boxing. He is said to eat drum kits for breakfast and can be quite trying when on long bus tours. He is also the brother of Chris Rupp (not in this video but earlier ones - left to pursue his own career) is the other co-founder of Home Free. Austin Brown, lead tenor, can hit some high notes (see When a Man Loves a Woman). He’s got that odd quirkiness to him and has a cat named Dawg (don’t know why that’s important to add). He also wrote an original Christmas song (so over due for one of them) called “Cold Hard Cash.” It showcases his comedic and writing talents. Rob Lundquist (glasses and long beard), from my state of Minnesota, has two kids and is considered the lower tenor (Austin being the higher tenor). He does a great job with Sir Mix-a-lot, he’s also the grounding and all around force for the group (because there’s no idea just how out of control and quirkiness the group would be with Austin, Tim and Adam running wild). He also reminds me of Bobby Singer, a character from the t.v. show Supernatural, when he wears his red and black flannel with sunglasses. (Adam) Chance, called Chance so not to be confused with the drum kit (Adam Rupp), is the one making the Jew harp in the background in Man of Constant Sorrow. He’s the newest member, replacing Chris Rupp. More recent videos have him featured as lead singer (see Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison” and “Sea Shanty Medley”). He’s is actually a bass but sings bass-baritone in the group. And has an obsession with sea shanty melodies, one that I believe he is at fault for stoking the explosion on Tik Tik in order to get Home Free to make their own “Sea Shanty Medley.” But I can’t yet prove that yet. But I’m on to him. The best things that make this a cappella group stand out is that they seem to have so much fun in making videos, they’re versatile, and no one member is always center stage (they share the spot light - though Austin can seem over hyper comedic drama queen with flamboyant exaggeration {which we all love him for it}).
Check out examples of "Throat singing" on YT. That's how Adam Chance is doing that mouth harp with his voice. This song is an American standard from the early 1900's and many others have covered it. I saw a video on YT about how to do beatbox harmonica. They have you put your hand up against your nose to pinch your nostrils and get a high pitched nasally sound. This is what Adam Rupp is doing for his harmonica-less harmonica solo.
Adam Rupp is the beat boxer has won the world's championship 2 ti especially so far, Adam Chase is a tenor, bass and some beat boxing, Austin is the high tenor and is amazing, Rob is a Tenor Bass and Beat boxing, Tim is the one with the low notes he can hit 5 octaves and able to beat boxer. These men are amazing to listen to but watch out for Tim, he has Blown a speaker on Stage and 2 of my head phones. ADAM RUPP and Chris RUpp started the group.
@@YBPlaysMusic it was not only one it was 2 sets but my fault I love to listen to them very loud as I'm mostly Deaf so it does not sound that loud, his voice will really come through but really had to laugh when he blew the speaker during an outdoor concert.
I think of Home Free as blue grass or folk. This song for example, is originally sung about 20 years before Country music was developed. But they do sing some country too. The one in the middle is Austin Brown & I think he did wear red in 'Sea Shanty' but my memory may not be that accurate. I'm sure everyone by now said who did what. The instrument first heard is an ancient instrument that got a revival in American Bluegrass. So much so many think it is a pretty new introduction. It is actually from China about 2300 years ago. Some even think it sounds like a Didgeridoo. But when you listen to the Aboriginal Didgeridoo & the Mouth Harp in this song the differences are clear cut. 9:23 I'm sure the Home Fries will let you know all about them. LOL!! Scenery to me is Deep South. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama. Spanish moss in the trees probably wouldn't be Florida. It could be but probably not. Maybe SE Texas, probably not. A Capella do sometime sing out of the group with someone else. Seems to be a lot better relationships with other groups. Avi Kaplan did sing 'Ring of Fire' with Home Free.
Song published in 1913. Made popular again in 2000 movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou. Death Valley? You didn't notice the alligator and giant bayou type trees?
Thx for the info, Baskerville! I knew the song was used in a movie, but didn't know the title :) Did I say Death Valley? I actually meant the everglades south of Miami :p
You know, you don't see a lot of reactors from our country, especially ones doing this... Loving this! (Mondharmonica is gewoon 'harmonica' in 't Engels trouwens) (just sayin')
Great reaction, I don't know where this was shot, but if I had to guess, it would be Georgia or maybe New Orleans. southern United States. nut this group is Amazing, I would recommend listening to "When a Man Loves a Woman by Home Free. it's pronominal.
The original sound effect was simulating a jaw harp, a traditional instrument in some country music. The names of the group are Tim Foust, the deep bass, Austin Brown, the high tenor (the lead singer in this song), Rob Lundquist, the other tenor (glasses and beard), Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, and Adam Chance, the baritone and here also doing the jaw harp effect.
Also, it wasn't Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, doing it. It was Chance.
Hi Douglas - in my opinion, what Adam Rupp imitates is not a Jaw Harp, but a harmonica (see also the comment below by "Jan Hankins". Adam Rupp was also asked about this in another video and explained there how to create this hamonica touch.
Adam Chance - that's the last man seen, produces a sound like a DigderyDoo.
This song is over 100 years old but was made popular in the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou" with george Cloony in the leading role.

You don't often think of Blue Grass style done accapella but this is it and done to perfection!
Superlativi, è quello che ho pensato ascoltandoli.(Grazie tanto di vero cuore) 🎼💯🎼🇮🇹
We home fry's love our home free 💖🔥🍟🍟🔥💖💖💕🔥
Ok so Adam Rupp is the beat boxer, so Adam Chance is called just Chance. You DESPERATELY need to react to: Helpless Hoping, The Butts Medley, and The Gambler. 😎

“How great thou art” and “the butts medley” are a must listen.
Tim's harmony line you noticed is common in American 'Southern Gospel Quartet' music. Referred to as sub-octave bass.
Awesome reaction ❤! It's so great to see people discover the wonders with Home free. You have SO much amazing music by Home free to listen to! Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and discover Home free again - so much awesomeness!!! Welcome to the rabbit hole of Home free - enjoy the ride ❤😊👍🎧🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶
Oh, and listen to Hillbilly bone if you want more country with the boys.
Great reaction, Thanks. This song was filmed at Oak Hollow Farm in Fairhope, Alabama and yes it was raining. Adam Chance from Alabama, was doing the Jaw Harp in the more noticeable beginning and end...they call him Chance so he isn't confused with Adam Rupp the beatboxer from Minnesota...Tim Foust is from Southeast Texas...you will notice Tim cut his hair during the pandemic...Austin Brown is from Georgia...Rob Lundquist is from Minnesota. Tim and Chance will trade out the bass when needed.
Might want to react to...9 to 5 beatboxing breakdown...it is live...In The Blood...What We Ain't Got...Honey I'm Good...Feelin It...for fun. Thanks again.
This is the thing everyone misses about this group they all beatbox they've all covered for each other so each other could have a solo they respect each other but yes there is one beatboxer that is beyond the others there is one singer that is beyond the others in this ranger that range but together wow
I can't wait to see more Home Free ❤ love you guys ❤
Love Home Free!! Please react to more of their music!!💗
Don't forget their cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" with Avi.
They all have training in multiple instruments and I think all have degrees in music. Austin, the one with a hat, trained classically and trained in musical theater. He’s the high tenor with 5 octave range. Adam Rupp is beatboxer extraordinaire and sings tenor, Adam chance is bass and baritone and called Chance, and Tim Foust bass with 5+ octave range. The song told a story of unattached ramblers, catching trains and leaving the women in their lives and pretty much dying alone. Johnny Cash song. Also performed in movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou. Try How Great Thou Art for full on 5 part harmony (no beatboxing) set in the Austrian Alps and the best soaring version I’ve heard. For some funky arrangement try Do You Hear What I Hear. Although a Christmas song it’s worth hearing any time of year. All of these are older performances. No auto tune, no instruments just voice and Rupp uses parts of his body sometimes. I hope this is helpful
Yes, it was raining while they did the video. They were in southern Alabama.
Yes, Adam Rupp, the Beat Boxer is one of the founders of the group. His brother, Chris left 5 years ago to go solo.
Welcome to the Rabbit Hole of HOME FREE ❤️‼️❤️. It’s a a great fun ride ❤️‼️❤️
They share lead depending on the song and who fits it.
They collaborated with Avi only on “RING OF FIRE”
If you want to see Rob rap, check out The Butt's Medley
Came here to say that haha
Excellent reaction fellas ! These guys are just so darn talented. Chris Rupp left the band in May of 2016 & he hand picked his replacement, which was Adam Chance who in the band is called just Chance, to avoid confusion with the beatboxer. Next time it would be great to see you chose one of their originals to react to. I would suggest " *DIVE BAR SAINTS* " it's a great song that was written just for them, by their friend Arliss Allbritton.
I believe that Chris said in an interviw somewhere that he didn't hand pick his replacement.....just a rumor.
@@cindyshawver9986 right.. Adam had nothing to do with adding Chance. He cleared that up in an interview a while back.
First , not crocodile, that was an alligator. Adam Chance goes by the name Chance in the band to avoid confusion with Adam Rupp.
Great reaction! So much talent in these guys! Here are songs where you can see each member shine. Austin Brown their tenor 'When a man loves a Woman', Rob Lundquist the other tenor ' End of the Road', Adam Chance baritone/ bass ' Cover me up', Tim Foust their bass ' In the Blood' or low bass can be heard in Misty Mountains from the Hobbit by Peter Hollens featuring Tim Foust. And Adam Rupp beatboxer/ vocal percussionist has a drum solo video out on youtube. And also Home Free is known for their sense of humor to see examples if that check out Butts Medley, All about that bass, Champagne taste on a beer budget.

Great reaction to a great group! Please keep reacting to Home Free! They’re my favorite group, and many others’ favorite too!
The song with Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix is Ring of fire and it is a good one! 👍
What must be said - I have the impression that the band members in each video (and I think I've seen and heard them all) have a lot of fun at work. I would even increase that and claim that they have a LOT of homor and can also laugh at themselves.
Love Home Free. Everything is with their mouths. Chance did the mouth harp sound (sounds like a didgeridoo). He was the last guy filmed in the video. This was filmed in s. Alabama and that gator is real. Rob is the tenor with glasses. Austin was the lead here and he is the high tenor. Tim is the bass. Chance is the baritone/bass and Adam is the beatboxer. He can do drums, harmonica, bugs, all kinds of sounds. If you’d like to hear more of Adam watch the Adam Rupp Drum Solo on youtube. Amazing stuff. Tim has a 5 octave range so he can sing bass all the way up to tenor. This song is over 100 years old but was made popular in the movie O Brother Where Art Thou. They can sing all genres of music. Helplessly Hoping, Seven Bridges Road, Country Roads to hear more great harmonies. My son was in Belgium in 2011-2012 for studies. He stayed on Avenue Louise. We visited and saw Brussels and Grand Place. Beautiful city!
Check out "Misty Mountains" by Peter Hollens, featuring Tim Foust. It's a cover of a song from the Hobbit movie. Tim gives more low bass as he stares through your soul.
please react to Tim Foust Vocal Range B0-A5
Yes, ALL human voice! Adam Rupp has been chosen as best beatboxer in the world twice!
You guys remind me of Hanz and Franz reviewing music. Hanz and Franz were SNL characters.
Thank you for your reactions. If you'd like vids with narratives by Home Free I suggest, "Honey, I'm Good", "Leave this Town", "Hillbilly Bone", "Sold!", and "Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get it On".
For fun, I suggest "Butts Remix" and "All About that Bass" and .
For beautiful harmonies I suggest "How Great Thou Art".
For Tim's bass I suggest "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Your Man". You can't really go wrong with any song you pick. Enjoy.
All Vocal.Chance starts & ends with jaws harp sound, Adam Rupp doing rums, Harmonica & more! In live onstage performance Austin joins beatboxer Adam Rupp or harmonica duet!! All members can do drum sounds! Watch 9 to 5! Midway through they do Beatbox routine!! Nice Reaction! Listen to How Great Thou Art “. Elvira, CatchMe if you can”. “End of the Road”. Life is a Highway”. “Auld lang syne”. “7 Bridges Road” “When a Man loves a woman” “Helplessly hoping”!! Dive right in...there’s so many more to listen to!!! Can’t wait for your next reaction!!
The reptile at the beginning and end is an alligator. The US does have one species of crocodile in the Florida Everglades but they are rare. Alligators on the other hand are common along the Gulf of Mexico. In Louisiana they jokingly call them “yard dogs”. [Alligator - rounded snout with no protruding teeth]. Oh and yes, of course Home Free made all the sounds with their mouths. Thanks for your reaction
Adam Chance is the second bass. He is doing the juice harp or digiridoo sounds. Adam Rupp is the beat boxer. Rob has the black beard. Austin was wearing the hat. He's in the middle. Tim Foust is the bass.
Watch Adam Rupp drum solo they did it during one of Home Free’s concerts..he is amazing! Love your reactions. I love Home Free😊
Just subscribed for more Home Free. Love your reaction
Welcome to The Wonderful World of Home Free! Check out all of their other stuff. You won't be dissapointed.
Most iconic duo on the TUBEZ!!
For suuureee
You are one of the few reviewers of this song that have noticed and commented that after Tim's solo, he comes back in with the others a whole octave lower.
Front left to right Rob,Austin, and Tim. Back left is Chance, right is Adam.
Thee guys can do it all!
Adam Rupp's brother Chris started the band and was the video editor as well for them. As such, he has made some reaction videos on YT of him reacting to his own videos with home Free.
You should react to their cover of "Ring Of Fire", then watch Chris's reaction to it for more "Behind the scenes" Easter eggs. Enjoy!
Adam Rupp does a live drum solo with his mouth. I found it on youtube .
This is a bluegrass/folk song and while Home Free are a country vocal group they perform across many different platforms.
To hear Tim go even lower but not the lowest would be Folsum Prison Blues. Pure Harmony all 5 singing How Great Thou Art and Helplessly Hoping, Originals Dive Bar Saints and Land of the Free
Great reaction - subbed for more Home Free!
Ring Of Fire is the collaboration with Avi. Voice Play 's song Sing features Tim from Home Free.
You're not wrong! It was raining at the film sight that day. lol. So, you're completely right. Tim wasn't sweating at all. It was rain.
These guys are the best out there !!!! I have heard a LOT of other groups just like them. I will say voiceplay and pentotonix are also good. Can't touch these guys though. Check out " Ring Of Fire" now that deep at the end!!!!
Agreed 100%!
I agree they are all good but Home Free is my goto group, then voiceplay, then Ptx
The sweat is real, it rained a little, but they were in Alabama in the middle of August!!
This song has been around for a long time and has been covered by a variety of artists. But it's best known for being in the movie "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" with George Clooney (in which George Clooney did some singing).
Jan Hankins, This was first recorded in 1913 and had a different title.😎😎😎😎
The whole song is a story about a rambler who has been in trouble (6 years) and doesn’t have long term relationships (maybe your friends think I’m just a stranger) leaves (ride that northern train) and the next time you’ll see him will be likely when he’s dead (the promise we are given). Hope this helps with the story
Beatboxer is Adam Rupp, high tenor is Austin Brown, other tenor with beard is Rob Lindquist, baritone is Adam Chance Bass is Tim Foust.
The instrument is called a Juice Harp. It is found in the South and Appalachian area of the U.S.
You definitely do need to React to more Home Free! 😜👍😎
Nice reaction! Its good to see some dutch reactors as a fellow dutch person ;)
More Home Free, please 😊
The Sing Off tour included a Beat Box Off which included Adam Rupp, Layne Stein from VoicePlay, and... argh I'm drawing a blank on his name... another beatboxer. It's awesome.
Chris Rupp and Adam Rupp co-founded the group. Adam is trained in Trumpet which is where he gets his incredible breathing techniques. Chris left to pursue a solo career and helped in picking out Adam "Chance" as his replacement. They came across Austin on a cruise ship they were both performing on. I don't remember how they came across Tim. But now that they have Chance, he can cover bass when Tim takes lead, and I think he brings a lot to the band. Chris also has some reaction/review videos where he talks about the older HF videos and has background info. Chris basically talked Adam into taking up beatboxing...and Adam is a perfectionist. I think this is the perfect blend of 5 voices. BTW, Adam sings Tenor when not beat boxing. Check out "Helplessly Hoping", "How great thou art" for 5 part harmonies.
Second on "How Great Thou Art". It is a religious song, but you don't have to be religious or a Christian to appreciate the beauty of the song, the harmonies, and the scenery (shot in the Austrian Alps). I'm an agnostic and love "How Great Thou Art".
Adam rupp obviously covers most of the vocal percussion, but in this song it's also Adam chance the baritone doing the dijeridoo
You are correct...Avi the original bass singer of PTX is in Home Free's Ring of Fire cover by Johnny Cash.😃 you will truly be amazed if you watch it!! Avi & Tim are friends,both PTX and Home Free won the tv singing competition show called the Sing Off.PTX won the first year,Home Free the second...and in a close third place would be Voiceplay who I can't remember if they actually won,just know they're amazing as well!!😃enjoy the ride!!✌
You should check them out doing "When a man love's a woman"- Austin Brown is amazing!
From left to right,
Rob Lundquist (glasses) tenor
Rear, Adam Chance, baritone
Centre, Austin Brown, high tenor
Rear, Adam Rupp, beatboxer, and freak of nature, makes All sorts of sounds
Right, Tim Foust, bass, with a 5 octave range that can hit tenor, and also low enough to bust speakers !
FORGOT TO SAY, THEY ALL CAN BEATBOX BUT NOTHING LIKE ADAM. CHANCE DID THE JAW HARP IN THIS SONG. THE RECORD SCRATCHING IN THE INTRO WAS DONE BY ADAM RUPP . IN LIVE CONCERTS , ADAM AND AUSTIN DO A HARMONICA DUET IN THIS SONG.
Home Free is:
Earlier Years Chris Rupp (usually wearing a Cowboy Hat & always smiling) and Adam Rupp, the Beatboxer founded the Group. Chris went Solo in 2016 with which he is doing Very Well!
Adam Chance who goes by Chance was brought in to replace Chris!
Chance is the Baritone that has a 4 Octave Range.
He can replace Tim, the Group's Bassist when needed as Chance was the Bassist in his previous Group before Home Free.
Back to Adam Rupp, he's the incredibly talented Beatboxer and can sing well too!
His Beatboxing is above and beyond any other Beatboxer that I have seen!
He's also won several Beatboxing Championships to boot!😁😁
Now to Tim, the Group's Bassist has a 5 Octave Range so he can Lead the Group as a Bassist or a Tenor or something in between!
He's Phenomenal and he's also taught some other Bassists from other Acapella Group's to be able to do certain things that allow them to get Lower and hit Notes they weren't able to before now.
The Bearded Singer is the Group's Tenor and he is Awesome!
Such a Creamy Tone and at times his Range is incredible too!
To end the Group's Members is Austin the Group's High Tenor.
This man is unbelievable!
He can hit the highest of the highest of notes and he still can do Low Notes almost Baritone standards!
Now hopefully you can get caught up with the Group's Members!
Tim went from F2 when they came back in and did an entire octave drop to F1... coming back up to an F2 to finish off that section.
oh, great reaction, thank you. Now you need to check out their other extremely popular song with Avi, called "Ring of Fire" and "Misty Mountain". You''ll love those. Cheers,
I just found you guys and I love your enthusiasm!
There is a story behind the video. The look and location are reminiscent of the movie O' Brother, Where Art Thou? Staring George Clooney (2000)
And this is a cover of the version of the song used in the movie. It was written in 1913 and first recorded in 1928. It's been covered by lots pf people since then, including Bob Dylan.
Adam Chance, called Chance, is the one on the left with the dark vest on. The instrument he's doing is called the Jew's Harp, jaw harp, or mouth harp, not a didgeridoo. They are Southerners, not Australian. Check out Adam Rupp's drum solo video; he does a didgeridoo in the middle of than amazing genius Also, in older videos you may notice a man you don't see here who is alway in a cowboy hat. That's Chris Rupp, Adam's brother and co-founder of the group. He left to become a music producer and that's when Chance joined.You'll see him with the other guys in All About That Bass, the Country Fried Pop Medley, and the Butts Medley.
Ring of fire cover shows off the bass, also intros you to Avi Kaplan.
Rob does indeed rap in the “Butts Medley.” So many good ones! “Elvira” is probably my favourite. “All About the Bass” is fun (and funny). Really, you won’t find a bad one.
Thx for the suggestions Stephanie! I’ll see which one will be the next one I’ll do😉
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. There are a lot of songs to choose from. If you want to hear funny songs by them check out ALL ABOUT THE BASS, THE BUTTS MEDLEY, and CHAMPAGNE TASTE ON A BEER BUDGET. To hear more of Tim check out RING OF FIRE, FOLSOM PRISON BLUES, FLOWERS ON THE WALL and HONEY I’M GOOD. You really can’t go wrong with any of their songs. Just don’t watch MAYDAY until you learn the guys names and their voices.
Home Free does country for the most part but are quite capable of any genre.
There are 2 spiece of crocodile in the U.S. Both live in the Florida Everglades and are rarely seen. The alligator is the prominent crocadilian and is common among the souther states from Florida to Texas.
I can help you with where the video was filmed. I got to ask a question at their concert in December when they were at Kansas City, MO. My hubby and I went! Adam Chance, the one who beat on the guitar in the Sea Chanty video, grew up in Alabama. I asked him if the video was filmed on his parents' property and he said, "No, it was down the road about 5 miles from his parents' house. Adam Chance said the alligator is real though. I told him I know all about the gators down south because my sister lives in Alabama. Adam Chance did do the digeridoo sound only using his mouth.🙂
Wait till you hear their "Ring of Fire" featuring Avi Kaplan, the base of Pentatnix who had left that acapella group. Imagine the two bases, Avi and Tim!! Yeah, it's that good!
You guys are so funny! Love it. And Home Free is my favorite and I don’t even like country music. Many good suggestions in the comments. Mayday is fantastic. Not sure why nobody ever suggests “Do You Hear What I Hear”. It is amazing!
Do yourself a favor and check out Home Free’s version of “When a Man Loves a Woman”! Austin Brown, the lead singer here & high tenor, sings the lead for that one too. It’s fantastic! Please react to it too! Thanks!
Hope you react to their Ring of Fire cover!!! Tim Foust goes G2 for 13 seconds at the end. Avi Kaplan collaborates.
The song is from the movie: O'Brother, were art Thou (With George clooney). The place they are - is inspired from the same movie. My favorite is: Adam Chance... (The baryton).
Hi Anja! Well, I actually have watched the scene where they sing that song in the movie, I was really interested :p but apparently, George Clooney didn't sing the song on the recordings, someone else did :p
Since you asked…
A Cheat Sheet: of shorts
Home Free is a country a cappella group but they don’t stay in their assigned genre. They do all cover songs across the board. Their fan base call themselves Home Fries.
Tim Foust (bass) can go as low as G1, not found on the standard keyboard. Some say his low notes are quite emasculating. Has, in fact, blown speakers (there’s videos out there of it). He actually has an impressive 5 octave range. It’s notable, that despite his fame, he’s very humble. He was inducted into the Museum of the Gulf Coast's music hall of fame January, 22, 2020, video of it online.
Adam Rupp, founding member and the beat boxer (yes that’s a harmonica sound he’s creating without the instrumentin Man of Constant Sorrow) has won at least two awards (that I’m aware of) in beat boxing. He is said to eat drum kits for breakfast and can be quite trying when on long bus tours. He is also the brother of Chris Rupp (not in this video but earlier ones - left to pursue his own career) is the other co-founder of Home Free.
Austin Brown, lead tenor, can hit some high notes (see When a Man Loves a Woman). He’s got that odd quirkiness to him and has a cat named Dawg (don’t know why that’s important to add). He also wrote an original Christmas song (so over due for one of them) called “Cold Hard Cash.” It showcases his comedic and writing talents.
Rob Lundquist (glasses and long beard), from my state of Minnesota, has two kids and is considered the lower tenor (Austin being the higher tenor). He does a great job with Sir Mix-a-lot, he’s also the grounding and all around force for the group (because there’s no idea just how out of control and quirkiness the group would be with Austin, Tim and Adam running wild). He also reminds me of Bobby Singer, a character from the t.v. show Supernatural, when he wears his red and black flannel with sunglasses.
(Adam) Chance, called Chance so not to be confused with the drum kit (Adam Rupp), is the one making the Jew harp in the background in Man of Constant Sorrow. He’s the newest member, replacing Chris Rupp. More recent videos have him featured as lead singer (see Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison” and “Sea Shanty Medley”). He’s is actually a bass but sings bass-baritone in the group. And has an obsession with sea shanty melodies, one that I believe he is at fault for stoking the explosion on Tik Tik in order to get Home Free to make their own “Sea Shanty Medley.” But I can’t yet prove that yet. But I’m on to him.
The best things that make this a cappella group stand out is that they seem to have so much fun in making videos, they’re versatile, and no one member is always center stage (they share the spot light - though Austin can seem over hyper comedic drama queen with flamboyant exaggeration {which we all love him for it}).
If you wanna hear tem all beatbox...listen to 9 to 5 live version.
❤❤
Check out examples of "Throat singing" on YT.
That's how Adam Chance is doing that mouth harp with his voice.
This song is an American standard from the early 1900's and many others have covered it.
I saw a video on YT about how to do beatbox harmonica. They have you put your hand up against your nose to pinch your nostrils and get a high pitched nasally sound. This is what Adam Rupp is doing for his harmonica-less harmonica solo.
Or just look at one of the many tutorials of that by Avi Kaplan.
@gailSeaton...Thanks for that. I'll check that out. I don't know much about Avi except his Collab with Home Free and that he was with PTX. Thanks!
Seven Bridges Road is a good one to react to... React to Home Free ( Adam Rupp ) drum solo
Ring of Fire...!!!
Checkout Adam Rupp’s drum solo. What sounds effects!
Ring Of Fire. Avi; the Bass from Pentonix collaborated with them. It is awesome!
Chris Rupp went on music producer and solo career.
Check out End of the Road Boys To Men cover you see a completely different style
Adam Rupp is the beat boxer has won the world's championship 2 ti especially so far, Adam Chase is a tenor, bass and some beat boxing, Austin is the high tenor and is amazing, Rob is a Tenor Bass and Beat boxing, Tim is the one with the low notes he can hit 5 octaves and able to beat boxer. These men are amazing to listen to but watch out for Tim, he has Blown a speaker on Stage and 2 of my head phones.
ADAM RUPP and Chris RUpp started the group.
Haha thx Jeanne for the info! It's messed up that he blew your headphones haha, shows his superpower :p
@@YBPlaysMusic it was not only one it was 2 sets but my fault I love to listen to them very loud as I'm mostly Deaf so it does not sound that loud, his voice will really come through but really had to laugh when he blew the speaker during an outdoor concert.
Chance actually makes that thing sound. Says it hurts his throat so much, they had to use a repeater.
I did not type thing. That initial sound!
Adam chance did the sound of the jaws harp
Home Free did Ring of Fire with Avi.
They also did Survivor with VoicePlay. You should check it out.
Adam Rupp has a video on how to do the harmonica
You’re going to love their Butts Medley. It’s hilarious and brilliant.
Where are you two from? Are you Dutch? You’re both adorable.
It is rain they did this song in Alabama.
Jews Harp done by Adam Chance, Adam Rupp does the rest. Austin wore the red outfit
I think of Home Free as blue grass or folk. This song for example, is originally sung about 20 years before Country music was developed. But they do sing some country too. The one in the middle is Austin Brown & I think he did wear red in 'Sea Shanty' but my memory may not be that accurate. I'm sure everyone by now said who did what. The instrument first heard is an ancient instrument that got a revival in American Bluegrass. So much so many think it is a pretty new introduction. It is actually from China about 2300 years ago. Some even think it sounds like a Didgeridoo. But when you listen to the Aboriginal Didgeridoo & the Mouth Harp in this song the differences are clear cut. 9:23 I'm sure the Home Fries will let you know all about them. LOL!! Scenery to me is Deep South. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama. Spanish moss in the trees probably wouldn't be Florida. It could be but probably not. Maybe SE Texas, probably not. A Capella do sometime sing out of the group with someone else. Seems to be a lot better relationships with other groups. Avi Kaplan did sing 'Ring of Fire' with Home Free.
Song published in 1913. Made popular again in 2000 movie
Oh Brother Where Art Thou.
Death Valley?
You didn't notice the alligator and giant bayou type trees?
Thx for the info, Baskerville! I knew the song was used in a movie, but didn't know the title :) Did I say Death Valley? I actually meant the everglades south of Miami :p
@@YBPlaysMusic
That works. 😁
Try Louisiana, the music and food's so much better.
You know, you don't see a lot of reactors from our country, especially ones doing this... Loving this!
(Mondharmonica is gewoon 'harmonica' in 't Engels trouwens) (just sayin')
Great reaction, I don't know where this was shot, but if I had to guess, it would be Georgia or maybe New Orleans. southern United States. nut this group is Amazing, I would recommend listening to "When a Man Loves a Woman by Home Free. it's pronominal.
