I loved home free! I’ve already learned so much! I can’t believe they’ve been a group for 20 years!! What song should i listen to next??

Who came here to see her reaction to Tim Foust? 🤔

*Grabs popcorn* "Here we see the birth of another Home Fry."

I think you missed one impressive thing: right after the bass sang his line, he sang the same line again, but one octave lower. A lot of people miss it because it doesn't sound human. His name is Tim Foust and he actually broke my subwoofer with Folsom Prison Blues.

Nobody ever mentions Home Free's cover of Seven Bridges Road. Beautiful harmonies.

First 3 seconds "OMG that bass!". *Grabs popcorn* And welcome to the rabbit hole that is home free, it's very deep, and VERY fun.

In the opening scene, the members are: Front Left - Rob Lundquist - tenor Front Center - Austin Brown - tenor (super highs) Front Right - Tim Foust - basso profundo (5 octave range) Back Left - Adam Chance - baritone Back Right - Adam Rupp - beatboxer Occasionally Tim will take a higher part and Adam Chance will take over the base line. They do some amazing stuff.

Just an FYI on the Beatboxer, Adam "The Freak of Nature" Rupp ... he was twice voted "Best All Around Beatboxer" by his Peers at the World Beatboxing Expo"

Adam Rupp the Beatboxer I like to say must have swallowed a complete drum kit as a child and it's been trying to escape ever since.. you can see him do complete drum solos on line...he is one of the most talented beat boxers perferming today!! So glad you enjoyed this group!!

Pretty deep rabbit hole. Enjoy the trip. One other selection by them is their cover of "In the blood", very good.

"Ring of Fire", "Helplessly Hoping", "In the Blood", "Crazy", "My Church" all really showcase the talents (not to mention the Christmas songs too.

All the back ground sounds are done by the singers, Harmonica, drums and other sounds. No band..... Good job hon.

Elvira is one of my favorite songs that Home Free has done. They collaborated with The Oak Ridge Boys, so it's kind of new school meets old school in one song :)

The first vocalist is Austin, high tenor, he can use the twang but he has gorgeous high notes as well. The second vocalist was Rob, tenor, He has a lot of soul and can do insane runs and also is an underrated whistler in some of their songs. The Bass is Tim. He can go crazy low and actually taught Avi and Geoff how to go lower with the growl technique. He also has a 5 octave range. The beatboxer is Adam. He is a human drum kit and can make more sounds than you can imagine. Chance is the baritone. He can use overtone singing techniques like you heard here with his jaw harp impression throughout the song. He can also cover bass whenever Tim takes the lead and has a general great rolling baritone sound as well.

Danielle, with all the fantastic music you react to, I was very surprised to find out that you hadn't experienced my favorite acapella group yet! Home Free is phenomenal!! Probably because they started in my state of Minnesota. 😁 Okay, here is a group primer: Rob Lundquist (far left): smooooth tenor vocals and a constant source of humor. Adam Chance (back left): versatile baritone/bass who takes over the bass part when Tim takes the lead. Goes by Chance to avoid confusion with the other Adam. He was doing the "mouth harp" on this. Austin Brown (middle): beautiful soaring tenor vocals and adds a few little yodels on certain songs. Adam Rupp (back right): the walking percussion machine who did the "harmonica" on this. Pretty sure he's not human. Tim Foust (far right): bass with an incredible range. His lowest notes come from the mines of Moria. Also, on some older videos, you will see a gentleman who's not in this (usually wearing a cowboy hat); that's Chris Rupp, Adam's brother, who left a few years ago to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Chance. Everything these guys do is gold, and here are my suggestions for moving forward: "How Great Thou Art" and "Helplessly Hoping" (sheer vocal perfection), "All About That Bass" and "The Butts Medley" (for their hilariously goofy side), "Folsom Prison Blues" (even deeper vocals from Tim and more of Adam's harmonica), "Blue Ain't Your Color" (shows their genre versatility), and my favorite Home Free song, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" You'd better get to work, my friend; the rabbit hole is deep, but oh so magical! 😊

So glad you have added Home Free to the a cappella mix. They are country based but do many other styles, making them uniquely their own. Watch Rob (the 2nd tenor to sing here) let go in “End of the Road”. I love the harmonies in “Helplessly Hoping”. And one of their most breathtaking videos is their version of “How Great Thou Art”. Thanks for your reaction

1st singer/pretty-boy high tenor: Austin Brown. 2nd singer/bearded teddy-bear anchor tenor: Rob Lundquist. Beat-boxer/harmonica mimic: Adam Rupp, one of the original founders. Least obvious singer/neat beard, baritone-bass: Adam Chance, usually referred to as "Chance" to avoid getting him mixed up with beat-boxer Adam. He does a lot of low-profile things in this particular song--but he's incredible in his own right. Get used to the Boys sharing the spotlight and letting each person strut their stuff regularly. Super Bass: Tim Foust--five octave range, strong in all of them. All of them are so dratted talented.

Check out Misty Mountains Cold by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust and then Far over the Misty Mountains by Geoff Castellucci. Tim Foust is the bass from Home Free and Geoff Castellucci is the bass from Voiceplay. Both Misty Mountains are worth a listen for different reasons. Hope you enjoy them. 👍🍻😁

How Great Thou Art and Helplessly Hoping (from Crosby, Stills and Nash) are 5 voice, no "percussion" songs. They do a John Denver song - Take Me Home Country Roads. Some military tearjerkers - Travelin' Soldier and Go Rest High On That Mountain. Tissues required. They did a remake of American Pie with Don Mclean. I grew up with this song and was so glad he did it with them. And an Ed Sheeran song - Castle On The Hill. They also did a tik-tok style Sea Shanty Medley. They were born to do these songs. It's not one of their big songs, but I like Moonshine. They do a few Christmas songs, including an excellent "Do You Hear What I Hear". Dive Bar Saints is an original contemporary country song.

My favorite is "how great thou art", "ring of fire" "hopelessly helping", and on and on. Each one you play may we'll be your favorite until you play another.

Geoff Castelucci and Tim Foust are good friends, I keep hoping they do another collab together someday. Great reaction, there are a dozen HF vids that I could recommend, but "Cover Me Up" and "Helplessly Hoping" are two favorites that bring tears every time. "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Sea Shanty Medley" are great fun!

They did the great classic "American Pie" with the legendary og singer Don McClean, in that video, each of them except beat boxer Adam Rupp, sang a verse so it is a great way to hear them individually.

Loved the reaction! One of my favorites by them is their cover of "Never Gonna Give You Up" that they recorded during the quarantine. They "Rick-Rolled" their entire fan base on April Fool's Day. Not only is it hilarious, but the vocals are incredible. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole!

Nose whistle = a pretty good impression of a harmonica.

Home Free really floors me. Their music is so very exceptional. I've been listening to them for a few months now and I'm just in awe over their work.

I learned the harmonica sound when I was younger, and messing around. For me, it was restricting air flow to the soft palette while drawing your tongue back, but keeping it flat. I don't know how to explain it better, but it sounds the same.

Adam Rupp is the beatboxer and he is doing the harmonica and drum effects. Adam Chance is Baritone and he is also doing the mouth harp (didgeridoo) effect. Tim Faust is the deep bass however he has a wide range. Rob Lindquist is the bearded guy in the bibs who was the second soloist he also does the dub dub doo routine. Austin Brown was the first soloist. They will sing the songs with various lead singers then they choose the one that they all like the most. They are excellent.

It doesn't get any better than Home Free and the rabbit hole is deep. They do all kinds of covers and original music, all with a country flair, all a capella..they do use a looper in concert to help layer the percussion when doing things like the harmonica solo...they all can do basic beatboxing...Adam Rupp is the vocal percussionist and is nicknamed "Freak of Nature" because of his ability mimic real instruments. They all take turns being leads in songs or in a song itself...if you look at American Pie ft. Don McLean, the original song writer, they all have a piece of the lead....just one example. Also Adam Rupp has several "Drum Solo" videos that you can watch him do his thing...the main one people react to is him in a red flannel and is over 6 years old..but will still floor you. Austin Brown is the high tenor that was lead in this song...he is just amazing. Rob Lundquist is the second tenor, with the full beard, and has that soulful voice you can hear in "Blue is not your color" and "End of the Road" amongst others. Tim Foust is the bass with the +5 octave range. Adam "Chance" is a bariton/bass who can sing bass when Tim takes lead, and he was doing that Jaw Harp sound in this..he is the newest member. In older videos you will see Chris Rupp (usually wears a cowboy hat) and he and Adam Rupp co-founded the group in college.

Love your reaction... Tim Foust (the bass) had a stupid range that no one person on this earth should possess and he does it with ease and sooo smooth... I would recommend his cover of "I can't help falling in love with you"... it's so smooth and effortless and it's just so pure and beautiful

One of my all time favorites is " Do you hear what I hear" just unbelievable!!!! Great Christmas song by these guys. To be honest. There is not one song that is bad. These guys are just the best out there. Just crazy good!!!!

I call your reaction to Tims bass line, an Eargasm.

The best part of watching someone react to Home Free is when the person gets excited early in the song and you know they haven’t shifted out of first gear yet and are really about to hit them with something

I'll recommend songs that show off each individual member the best in my opinion, plus recommend songs where all 5 of them sing Austin (high tenor): When A Man Loves A Woman Rob (tenor): End Of The Road Chance (baritone): I Can't Outrun You Tim (bass): honestly pretty much any song Adam (beatboxer): Sea Shanty Medley Songs where all 5 members sing: Helplessly Hoping, Go Rest High On That Mountain, How Great Thou Art, Auld Lang Syne

The most beautiful song of harmonies for a singer to listen to in order to learn more about Home Free's talent would be the cover of "Helplessly Hoping" by Crosby, Stills and Nash. So beautiful it will want to make you cry.

Misty mountains Peter Hollens feat Tim Foust (bass in Home Free) also a good intro to Peter hollens. He layers himself, so all the voices in that song were just those two. The highs and lows in that piece are amazing.

I know this was years ago but did you notice after the bass guy sings his part and they all chime in, he goes an octive lower.

New subscriber for more Home Free! Happy to see you're enjoying them 😊

I want to say that Home Free and VoicePlay competed in the same season of Sing Off with Home Free winning that season. I believe voice play was eliminated mid season like week 5ish.

One of my all-time favorites is "In the Blood." They are just amazing.

Everything you hear on any of their videos is all done with their voices. Home Free is amazing.

I will never get tired of watching people get "HOME FRIED"! Great reaction! Thanks for my morning happy time!😄😄😄

The vocals, control, harmonies, ad libs all perfect in the song Moonshine by them

So Home Free basically take turns in the spotlight. Their videos will very heavily feature one member for a couple videos than they switch who that is. If you want a REALLY good overview of each member, you should check out the 50th anniversary version of American Pie by Don Mclean and Home Free. They basically each get a verse.

Adam Rupp, the beat boxer (the guy making the harmonica sounds) is a two time World Champion, beat boxer. He is a cut above most others.

FYI, Home Free won “The Sing Off”, an acapella competition show season 4! Check out Ring of Fire featuring Avi Kaplan…former bass of Pentatonix.

Now I'd say you react to Ring of Fire, All About that Bass, Elvira, Sea Shanty Medley and End of the Road

Great reaction. This group gained the bulk of their current fame on a, sadly short lived, tv acapella contest show called The Sing Off. (Definitely jump down that rabbit hole if you get time.) They won the year after Pentatonix (I am shocked there is no PTX in your catalog yet btw.) I believe it was 2012.

Homefree is an acapella group and there they are amazing they do all the sound effects as their instruments from the voices

You are such A Wonderful reviewer, And Lovely too.

This was a very good song to start with. I'd definitely recommend the cover they did of American Pie with Don McLean. That one really showcases each of their voices since they each get a verse.

Another Home Fry here, subbing in hopes for more. In the blood, End of the Road, Castle on the Hill of of course, Helplessly Hoping ( one of my favorites)

Adam Rupp is, for me the best beatboxer in acapella. His snare sound and rim shots are so crisp.

They are amazing and have so much to bring. You have to really do Ring of Fire 🔥 it will also blow you away. Amazing vedio you will love it from the High to the Low Low Low Low

You have a great personality and demeanor for this style of KZfaq video. Your reactions are relatable and genuine, while your analysis is concise and informative. Thank you for doing these videos! One suggestion I have is to go back 5 seconds or so each time you pause the video, just so you don't miss any transitions. :) #SubscriptionSquad

Home Free is amazing Tim can hit a G1 I believe. check out Ring of Fire with Avi next.

The guy who does the percussion sounds does the feaux harmonica as well. Home Free is awesomeness.

Homefree is a acapella group I've heard him a lot of times and they do all their sound effects by their voices

There version of How Great Thou Art is amazing. The composition is unbelievable, best I’ve ever heard.

In this cover, the first singer (hat and longer hair) is Austin Brown, high tenor. You MUST catch Home Free's cover of "When a Man Loves a Woman" where Austin does the lead. It's out of this world. The second singer (overalls and glasses and twang) is Rob Lundquist. The "harmonica guy" is their superb beat boxer, Adam Rupp. Catch his drum solo. People say he swallowed a drum set (and some other instruments as well). The bass is Tim Foust. He quite regularly blows out speakers at live concerts. Take a listen to Tim Foust's collaboration with Peter Hollens in "Misty Mountains" from "The Hobbit". The last guy is Adam Chance, who goes by "Chance" so they don't mix him up with beatboxer Adam Rupp. Chance wasn't with the group when they were founded, but joined when Chris Rupp (beatboxer Adam Rupp's brother) left Home Free to pursue a solo career. You don't get a chance to her Chance much in "Man of Constant Sorrow", but you can hear him on many other covers like "Helplessly Hoping", "Fulsom Prison Blues", "Blue Ain't Your Color", "Born in the USA", and "Sea Shanty Medley". Chance is a great baritone and covers the bass when Tim (bass) takes the lead. To hear Adam Rupp, the beatboxer sing, check out "How Great Thou Art". He seldom sings, but he does there. Home Free is just a great group. Home Free fans call themselves Home Fries and they span all ages, ethnic groups, religions, etc. Home Free can do just about any genre of music from country to rock to ballads. I keep asking them for Mozart. They haven't done it yet, but I keep hoping. Personally, I think they'd kill it.

These guys are AMAZING! The guy beat boxing and doing the harmonica, I doing all that with just his mouth!

Glad you jumped in on Home Free, once we see a reaction we all come tumbling in lol . They have lots of great songs When a Man loves a Woman is very Strong for Austin like End of the Road is Strong for Rob, and Cover Me Up by Chance but also a lot of songs that feature all of them 1 of my fav is Country Roads, In the Blood, but Many great songs!

0:29 Eric knows his stuff.... that's the same exact order/sequence I'd recommend. However, I'd also like to add their cover of Vince Gill's "Go Rest High On That Mountain".

This group was formed in 2000 by Chris Rupp (who left the group in 2016) and his brother Adam Rupp, who is the outstanding beatboxer (harmonica guy). The present group is Austin Brown (1st singer) at high tenor Rob Lindquist (beard and glasses) is tenor Adam Chance (called Chance) is baritone and jawharp, Tim Foust is the true basso profundo with a 5 octave range And Adam Rupp, who many people think has swallowed a drum kit. Their catalogue of covers and original songs is over 130 songs, so you will have a lot to enjoy.

SO happy you found Home Free. I have been to 6 of their concerts and I have tickets for a December concert. Tim Foust hits bass notes, at concerts, that vibrate your body and your chair. Live performances are a whole body experience that I have never had at any other groups concert. Their concerts are always less expensive too.

You love this song... (yes its one of my favorites), you will also go crazy for two others they do, "Ring of Fire" and "Misty Mountains" and then the rest that Eric suggested. Thank you for the great reaction. #Subscriptionsquad

Please react to Home Free's cover of Helplessly Hoping.

The sounds from the one with the hands are coming most likely from a "turkey call" Its a small reed that goes under the tongue and can make the sounds, but the echoes and vibrations are done with the hands. It's a very distinct talent with the way he's playing it. I've never been able to use them, but i know people that can use them while also singing as well.

15 years ago HomeFree sang at a Ranch Party in Okla. They sang several gospel songs that had many people turning their lives to Christ. Amazing gift for us all.

Everyting you hear is vocal even the beats and sound effects

Home Free is the real deal. They won the NBC show the Sing Off in 2013 a year after Pentatonix won. They are country but also sing all genres of music. Known for great harmonies. Austin Brown high tenor (lead here), Rob Lundquist tenor (glasses), Tim Foust bass, (long hair), Adam Chance (known as “Chance”) baritone/bass. He was doing the mouth harp sound at the beginning and end of the song, Adam Rupp, amazing beatboxer. He does drums, harmonica, bugs, all kinds of sounds. They can be serious or silly. Try Helplessly Hoping, One Man Band, Country Roads. Good reaction!

Home Free is at the top of their game.

New to your channel, but im glad that you found Home Free, these dudes are talented as hell.

Out of all the vocal coaches reaction. Yours was by farthe best I have heard about HomeFree

This was exciting to see show up in my recommended. I love these guys.

Hi Danielle, I'm new hear, thanks for reacting to Home Free.They are of course outstanding. I was going to comment but everyone has said it all about them. You'll love more Home Free!! Enjoy and we'll all be waiting for your reactions. Thanks!!!

You missed that Chance doing overtone singing with his jaw harp effect. I'm also unsure if the crackling vintage recording effect at the beginning and end were voice-produced sounds, but I suspect they may have been. Rob is the bearded high tenor, Austin, tenor, has the red hair & brown hat, Tim is their bass, Adam is their beatboxer/harmonica (who does sometimes occasionally sing), and Chance is their baritone/second bass. Adam is the primary rhythm section, with backup from Tim & Chance. Fantastically talented guys.

The guy who sings first is Austin Brown, 2nd Tenor is Rob Lundquist, the bass is Tim Faust, Adam Chance is the baratone, and Adam Rupp is the beat box.

I just recently saw them perform live and they did this song. It sounded awesome.

And, with the bass, Tim Foust, he also has a 5 octave range (B0-A5) and can pretty much sing any part.

Young man in hat that opens is Austin Brown. Second singer is Rob Lundquist. Beat boxer is Adam Rupp...founder of the group. Bass is Tim Foust, and other baritone (and Jews harping effect in this) is Adam Chance. (Who sometimes goes bass.)

This group has been in existence since 2000. This particular group has been together since 2016 when the founding father Chris Rupp left, he was the baritone. The only original left is Adam Rupp the beatboxer and Chris's brother. Front row is left to right Rob Lundquist lead tenor, Austin Brown sky high tenor, Tim Foust bass. Back row is Adam Chance baritone goes by Chance and Adam Rupp beatboxer. Great reaction from you.

One of the great things about Home Free is that there isn’t a “lead” singer. When they start working on a song, they pick the person who fits it the best. Sometimes it’s Austin (the first tenor) sometimes it’s Rob (second singer), sometimes it’s Chance (the one you see last), and even Tim (the bass) takes the lead in some songs. I forgot Adam Rupp (vocal percussionist) has a beautiful tenor voice, but he prefers to stay in the background.

Awesome tenor - baritone/tenor group. Great to hear. Thanks for this.

This description matches the song Mayday! Up front from left to right Rob is the big guy with the beard he sings second tinner and falsetto, in the middle is Tim he's singing falsetto right now and he's the Bass, Austin sings first tenor, and also sings falsetto! Now the two in the back starting on the left, the beatboxer is Adam, he's magical. Next is Chris, who looks like Leonardo DiCaprio, he sings second Tenor, also Alto which is mid-range, and Baritone as you just heard!

Welcome to the world of Home Free lovers . we are "Homefries". Another equally talented group is Pentatonix. They are different . but equally amazing

Your gonna get your mind blown when you listen to their version of an old Boys 2 Men tune. That’s the teaser. You find out which one it is. Soooooo much fun to listen to. 🤯🤯🤯

So, this is an old song and has been done many times. These guys are incredibly talented but what I really appreciate is that they rendered it with a lot of respect to the style (old-time). The vocal jawharp was pretty tradtional, and the beat-boxing was an addition but it was done really tastefully.

The harmonica sound is made by using what the performer calls the "cartman southpark "voice,..that creates the tones,.. the hands then augment the sounds like a normal harmonica as well as he shifts to nasal , rear , and front chamber manipulation of the airflow.

Austin is from Georgia and TWANG is for sure, his range and power, control and grinning while winning is killer ! Rob has the sweet as sugar Tenor 2 voice ... Tim is Bass (& Baritone & Tenor 1) - Chance is also same in all three registers ... the Beat boxer is PHENOMENAL and he is Adam Rupp. Love the heck out of this ensemble - Home Fry for Home Free !!! jj

Adam said he bases his harmonica on the voice of Cartman from _South Park_ and then he starts bending sound. The thing about Tim is that I think he's barely doing more than let his voice cruise, and he can STILL sound that amazing on cruise. Also, listen close at "while he is sleeping..." and you'll hear him shift down an octave to a subterranean A1.

nothing but voice, there are no instruments involved. They are the greatest of all time in my book.

Maybe the greatest 'Blue Grass' performance I've ever heard!...and a cappella!

Adam Rupp is their beatboxer. He does the majority of the drum sounds and that mouth trumpet technique is done by forcing air through your lips usually on the side of your mouth. The technique can reproduce harmonica, sax, and trumpet sounds.

You are so Joyous and likable. Thank You.

Yes, the "harmonica" is Adam Rupp, the beatboxer. He has a great number of instruments that he can mimic.

Interruptively unenjoyable. It's possible to listen to more than 5 seconds at a time.

They do OUTSTANDING covers of "When a Man Loves a Woman", "Mayday" , " End of the Road" must sees, you won't be disappointed.

I love the late, great Dr. Ralph Stanley ( R.I.P. ) and his Clinch Mountain Boys......but this may be just as exciting as the original.......ALL the female reactors melt hearing Tim's basso profundo voice !

How Great Thou Art video is very impressive from Home Free. Shows each member sing. They won a season of the singing contest the Sing Off, Ring Of Fire outstanding song

Welcome to the deepest "rabbit hole" on KZfaq.... Home Free has a TON of music to absolutely fall in love with.
