- What a great new group!

Entirely A Capella. That guy that doesn't play the harmonica also does crickets and any other sound you can come up with. He's a machine. He taught the others how to not play the harmonica too. That twangy sound is mimicking an instrument called a jaw harp, or jews harp. It's a little contraption you hold in your teeth and twang a lever with your fingers and change the tone by changing the shape of your mouth. You never see them anymore except in blue grass. My favorite Home Free piece is "In The Blood".
Home Free's How Great Thou Art is amazing. As well as a beautiful performance, it was filmed in the Alps and the imagery is breathtaking.
"That bass"
O' Brother, thou hath NO IDEA lol
Idiot, when he said that, I said, “Just wait until you hear his verse!”
Tim doesn't even TRY in this song... This is nothing at all.
Tim faust is bass
I suggest you watch 2 or 3 more to get a better understanding of each member's role.... Then watch their "Mayday" video
Yeah, definitely wait on 'Mayday' until you've see a couple others - I recommend 'Ring of Fire' (feat. Avi from PTX) and 'Elvira'. In 'Mayday' they switch up their roles a bit.
best suggestion, hands down. I hope he does it!! Nobody even need to say more
Yes, The reaction to Mayday will be much better once with someone 'knows what to expect' from the various members.
I can't like this comment enough. Do Mayday, but def do Ring of Fire and Elvira first.
YES!!!! Mayday!!!!
Great! Now you're a home fry as well as a pentaholic. Happens to the best of us. Now you opened a new can of worms. Hf have a lot in common with ptx: great beat boxer, all members have awesome ranges. Hf has more "fun stuff" when ptx is more perfectionistic. I suggest "end of the road" and "beer budget" for completely opposing songs. Mostly country songs. Won "the sing off" after ptx.
Home Free Vocal Band was started 20 years ago by Adam Rupp, Chris Rupp & 3 others. After Chris (baritone) went solo in 2016, only beat boxer Adam Rupp remains from original members. They hit the national scene only after winning Season 4 of Sing-Off a year after PTX won Season 3.
Adam Chance, a bass/baritone, replaced Chris (IMO, a fortunate thing) and holds down the bass line when Tim leads in his upper range. Together, they provide a low end that's consistently awesome.
Originally, the group performed as much or more pop & traditional songs as country style works. With the addition of bass Tim Foust and high tenor Austin Brown, they have focused on country songs. But, they have recorded a number of pop covers (Ex 'All About That Bass'), traditional hymns & Xmas songs.
Gary Blocker I think you do Home Free a disservice by saying they hit the national scene after they won Sing Off in 2013. They have been touring and singing professionally since 2008, the same year Rob Lundquist joined. Tim Foust sang as a guest on their 2010 tour and as a full time member in January of 2012. Austin Brown joined at the end of 2012.
They sing much more than country. Just listen to them sing Bring Him Home from Les Miserables.
@@DebVit Apparently you did not hit "Read more" to see my entire comment. My phrasing may have understated their significance before the Sing-Off. But, from what I read, before 2012 they were an "a capella" group with a new bass about every year and no significant album sales.
Beginning the 2013 Sing-Off Tour, we have seen them live 7 times - every tour with a stop in NC. And, of course, we own every CD published during that time. What they did before 2012 was, in comparison, not significant. I'm sure fans from the earlier years should disagree.
two-year gap between season 3 & 4
Ring of Fire featuring Avi Kaplan from PTX & In the Blood are amazing; Elvira WITH The Oakridge Boys is soo good as well
Please review the Ring of Fire it is unbelievable.😎
YAAAAAAAASSSS!!!! Both of those are Ammaaaaaazing!!!
Yes! These two songs!
Two non-country songs they cover are “In the Blood” by John Mayer and “End of the Road” by Boyz II Men. Their super low bass and super high tenor make their tight harmonies outstanding! Love most everything they do! Tim Foust is a hoot in their live shows. Check out “Story time with Tim Foust”.
They are older and have been singing for a lot longer than PTX. Chance, who was doing the mouth harp sound, is the baritone and also sings bass. Adam is the beat box and vocal percusionist. The others are Tim Foust (bass), Rob Lundquist (tenor), and Austin Brown (high tenor). They do a great job on "Can't Stop The Feeling". Check it out! ... Guy
There is a video on youtube of Tim Foust the bass blowing the speakers at their Morrison concert he went so low.
Go Rest High On that Mountain - Home Free The Rebel
So so so many videos that you need to watch! I suggest a couple to start:
-Country-fried pop medley
-Mayday
-Ring of Fire
-Woman, Amen/Female
-Auld Lang Syne
Aaaannnd I'd better stop because I could go on for a while. They are such an amazing group of men
I suggest The Butts medley. You will get a great sense of their humor and talent!
Home Free won Sing Off 4, 2 yrs after friends Ptx, started b4 Ptx, the *2* biggest selling all vocal bands in the world & tour globally & are amazing, live!
They started out soul/pop, now more country-ish/soul/pop, but can sing anything & they're 5 very tall, funny, all lead singers/songwriters/arrangers/multi-instrumentalists- EXAMPLE: insane-best-in-the-biz-beatboxer Adam bboxes a fullv concert & 10 min. solo, .ca play trumpet, guitar, bass, piano/keys, drums, composes video game music themes, etc!
.....
L-R Rob/beard-sweet, soulful tenor
Austin/wavyhair-soulful high tenor
Adam/d.blond-craazy bboxer/tenor
Chance/shorthair-cool bass/baritone
Tim/longhair--5 octave super-bass
..
Others wl list GreatVids but Plz REACT
*9 TO 5-BEATBOXING BREAKDOWN*
9 to 5 like you've neverheard b4-LITT!
lol 5 octave SUPER BASS, love that.
Also some introductions: Austin Brown (high tenor), Rob Lundquist (mid tenor/fluffy beard), Adam Chance (baritone who also sings bass sometimes), Tim Foust (bass who also sings baritone/tenor/soprano sometimes), and Adam Rupp (beatboxer). In older videos, you'll also encounter Chris Rupp, one of the founders of the group and their baritone before Chance came along.
Avi sings with them on ring of fire (Johnny Cash). 2 basses. Bass here (Tim) hits a note that will rattle your chest :-)
Agreed. I mentioned this in a previous post, but since this is a short song you could do the sing-off version and the video with Avi in a single reaction. A chance to compare live vs. studio.
Sing-off: czcams.com/video/4Y9t3l-1BFU/video.html
Vid with Avi: czcams.com/video/0l3dsHCScxU/video.html
I've seen them live and when Tim hits those lows, it literally does rattle your chest!
It is Accapella but the background was looped in this song, they use it sometimes. Check out "Honey I'm good"
I saw them do this live a few months back, it sounded just like this live!! Do more of them and you will be very very impressed! Love Home Free!
FINALLY! Home free! Yay!!!
Defiently Ring of Fire Featuring Avi from Pentatonix. One of their best songs
Welcome to the Home Fries!! Love these guys!! They are awesome!! They won the sing off as well.. Mayday, Ring of fire( featuring) Avi Kaplan is phenomenal!! Tim Foust is the bass with a 5 octave range and has blown out a few speakers, Adam Rupp the beatboxer has a drum-off on CZcams.. he is great!! These guys are versatile and talented..
Their bass is Tim Foust his vocal range is SICK! He's actually blown out speakers with his lows! They competed in the last Sing off #4 and won... they came after Pentatonix. But they are just as amazing... they are more country than pop. You might also wanna check out Voiceplay, their bass Geoff is also a beast. Check out their Moana medley... Panic@the Disco medley...Queen Medley... 21pilots cover... they have a ton of great stuff as well. Love your reactions! Keep'em coming!
Great suggestion! I've already posted that Kyle needs to add Voiceplay to the list then he's covered my 3 favorite aca groups. Agree with Moana & Queen medley, but for bass that will make you jaw hit the floor don't forget the 'Oogie Boogie Song'!
Yay you reacted to Home Free! I love them. The bass is Tim Foust and he has an amazing range. Can you react to all of their videos? lol They won The Sing Off the season after Pentatonix won. They are mainly country and what songs that aren't country get a country spin. "In the Blood" is one of my all time favorites. They also did Boys II Men's "End of the Road" and killed it.
They are great. Season 4 of the sing off winners. Suggest next Ring of Fire featuring Avi Kaplan from PTX.
They also do a really gorgeous version of How Great Thou Art!
Amazing sound by this group..between them and pentatonix- whew!!! Stellar groups
I can already tell we're eventually gonna rope you into reacting to VoicePlay (another awesome a cappella group). For now, here's some of Home Free's covers I'd recommend listening to: Do You Hear What I Hear?, I Can't Outrun You, The Butts Remix, and of course Ring of Fire. They also competed on the Sing-Off, so you should react to their Sing-Off run once you finish Pentatonix's!
The "twangy" effect was the sound of a mouth harp. Different from a harmonica. My dad played both when he was alive. Awesome conversion of the mouth harp.
All we need now is some Voiceplay reactions then we'll have the whole trio! Avi, Tim, and Geoff all slap those bass parts
YESSS!!
Agreed. If Kyle can react to Voiceplay then he's covered the trio of a cappella groups that I try to keep up with: PTX, Home Free & Voiceplay.
With a bit of Citizen Queen and Acapop! Kids sprinkled in!
Agreed!
I like the one that voice play do with home fre!
Great reaction! We have the makings of another Home Fry ! That's the fans name! They are not just country...check out their cover of Boys II Men End Of The Road...you will be amazed!
Love Home Free!! Glad to see them on here... You should listen to the rendition of Ring Of Fire that they did with Avi!
Home Free is mostly Country, but also does Gospel, RnB, and more.
Pentatonix can't hold a candle to these guys! They do all kinds of music. I became a Home Fry after the very first listen. And there are millions of us so you picked the right group to react to! How Great Thou Art, Mayday, Elvira, In The Blood, or anything else will do! They're phenomenal.
HOME FREE!!!! Yay!! I have this song posted from a live concert... setting it in person is even more incredible.
Glad you checked out Home Free! As mentioned elsewhere you should check out their take on 'Ring of Fire', but if you want to see something more upbeat & fun also check out their 'Butts Remix'. It's a mashup that spans Pop, Rock, Country & Rap. I'm sure you'll like it.
Try their version of Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash or ever Elvira
Yesss please! Tim hits some crazy low notes in both and also Avi is in Ring of Fire so with 2 basses it's even better!
John Brill I requested that like 3 or 4 times lol I hope he does it now
Yes! Please do Ring of Fire by Home Free Featuring Avi Kaplan. It is amazing!
Yes! You'll find 2 great versions of this on CZcams: When they performed it on the Sing-off which got a great reaction from the judges, and the Video they made with Avi. (Like Kristina said, double the bass)
Avi also has a cameo in their 'Champagne taste on a beer budget' video.
@@jeffc8965 definitely agree however I prefer the Singoff version a little better
As a PentaFry/Homeaholic I always enjoy the first time someone listens to either group.I saw your reaction to Pentatonix and knew you would enjoy home free. You may want to do Ring of Fire which features Avi.
'PentaFry/Homeaholic', Love it!
The group actually started in 2000 with completely different members (with the exception of Adam Rupp). They used to do all sorts of styles, including country. When Tim Foust (the bass and a Texas native) and Austin Brown (the lead tenor and a Georgia native) joined the group, they started doing more country. However, it was the Sing-Off that really turned them into a mainly country group. They actually auditioned for the Sing-off 3 times prior to Foust and Brown coming on as the new bass and tenor but didn't make it past auditions. When they auditioned a 4th time (this time with Foust and Brown), they intentionally marketed themselves as a country a cappella group, resulting in them actually getting on the show this time since country is rarely, if ever, heard in the a cappella world and was a unique flavor to add to the show - which they ended up winning btw. Since winning, they have mainly focused on country style music. You should watch their Sing-Off performance of "Ring of Fire." It's great! And their version of "Ring of Fire" with Avi, because - Avi.
I think you'll love watching more of these guys! They've got so much to offer- they also venture into other genres, covering everything from Disney to Boys II Men. If you want to see a great bass song they have a cover with Avi from Pentatonix :D otherwise if you want a good laugh react to their "Butts Remix"!
To see more of their Bass, Tim, You can also check out "Misty Mountains" by Peter Hollands, feature Tim Foust. It's a super amazing acapella version of the song from Lord of the Rings
My favorite Home Free playlist :
Helplessly Hoping
Auld Lang Syne
Mayday
End Of The Road
Champagne Taste
Your Man
I strongly recommend listening Helplessly Hoping and Auld Lang Syne
😍😍😍🔥They are so AMAZING!! Please keep Home Free reactions coming. They do it All!
I'll echo others here. Their Ring of Fire is phenomenal.
You've struck a cappella gold with Home Free...phenomenal group! Their creations come from many genres but a couple of suggestions from their Country/Folk roots; their cover of John Denver's "Take Me Home Country Roads" and Maren Morris' "My Church". Other genres, their cover of John Mayer's "In the Blood" and Boyz II Men's "End of the Road" (Shawn Stockman was one of the judges on the season of The Sing Off won by Home Free). For a laugh check out their "Butts Remix"...they have a great sense of humor. You really can't go wrong with anything from Home Free. BTW, they are good friends with Pentatonix. Thanks!
What a great band! This is amazing. Thanks for reacting to this. I love all your reactions, especially your PTX ones :) More PTX and more Home Free, please! Keep up the great work on your channel :) It's really nice watching your videos. Stay well, and be safe!
I am so glad you dove into Home Free!! I recommend their cover of Boyz II Men's "End of the Road." It is incredible.
Yes all acapella. These guys are ridiculous live. Tim's bass and Adam's effect will shake the room. Glad to see you branching out with your acapella journey. Also, they were on season 4 of The Sing Off after PTX. You might have fun going through their performances on the show just like you are doing with PTX.
Tim's voice always shocks people. Love it.
Everything by Home Free is great!!
Oh boy! They are so much fun!
Great reaction! Happy to see another reactor about to take the deep dive into Home Free. I always like to suggest "The Butts Remix" & "Fishin' In the Dark/Boondocks" becuz they're just fun mashups. Thx!!
There's a great video of Home Free with Avi (from PTX) joining them on Ring of Fire. I think you'd enjoy that too.
It's great you found Home Free. They, like PTX are amazingly talented and comparing them is like apples and oranges. I think you will really enjoy discovering another facet of acapella. Since you grew up with country you will get a kick out of their collab. with the Oak Ridge Boys on Elvira.
Haven't started watching yet, I saw the title and just gasped out LOUUUUDDD yes this is my FAOVURITEEE
They are amazing...they won the same Sing Off show that PTX after PTX did. Great reaction.
Home Free is incredibly awesome. You're going to want to listen a LOT more. Check out their video Ring of Fire with Avi Kaplan (Pentatonix). You can never tell that they're a capella - they're that good. Oh, and they all take turns singing "lead." But the deep bass is Tim Foust, the baritone/bass is Chance, the butery-smoothe tenor (tedy bear beard) is Rob Lundquist, the high tenor (lead in this video) is Austin Brown, and the beatboxer is Adam Rupp.
Oh, after Ring of Fire, try My Church. If those don't have you rockin' in your seat, you should just walk away. 😉
Glad you started out your Home Free group with this song. There are great. Most of their songs are done with a country flare
but, there are group.
This band has been around with various members for about 18 years. Amazing. They do countrified everything. Boyz 2 Men, Gospel, Meghan Trainor, Oakridge Boys, Vince Gill...both funny and serious videos. Check out their mashes like the Butts Medley and Country Fried Pop Medley.
Fans are tater tots (littles) or Home Fries. We are a pretty nice, but rabid, bunch of fans. We love watching reaction videos where the unsuspecting are inducted into Home Free...dom.
Yes! Yes! If you're going to listen to Home Free as Pentatonix, I'm going to have to break down and [BAM!] hit that subscribe button. "That twangy sound" is coming from Chase. It's tempting to believe that they're not a cappella, but there's no harmonica and no mouth harp (jaw harp, Jew's harp, Ozark harp--half-a-dozen different names). Just our boys.
so glad you discovered Home Free!!! the one bckground sound is from their beatboxer on a loop, only loop in the song, the rest is acapella
Appreciate your selections/reactions, and your excellent musical insights. Carry on, brother!
Home Free is "strictly" country, "strictly" because they will take songs of other genres and convert them into country music. Also, they've been around a lot longer than Pentatonix but didn't really get their big break until they won the Sing-Off on a season after PTX won the Sing-Off. Adam Chance (the young-looking Baritone) is a recent addition to the group who took the place of Chris Rupp (Adam Rupp's brother). The long-haired brunette is Tim Foust, the Bass. Personally, I feel that he's a better Bass than Avi but really only because he's got more years under his belt. I LOVE Avi and Tim.
Actually, they can do plenty of other styles as well as country. Austin, for one, was trained to do musical theater, and if you look through the live stuff that is available on CZcams, you'll find quite a few fan recordings of him singing "Bring Him Home," from Les Miserables.
For a little MoTown, try "Blue Ain't Your Color." In that case, they took a country song, and spiced it up into the other genre.
As for this one ("Man of Constant Sorrow"), it's much more rhythm and blues than country.
There are plenty of other examples of their artistic flexibility. :-D
my favorite acapella group. mayday and End of the Road are two great ones they do.
Yay! Glad You found them... There are two versions of Ring of Fire. One is when they we're on the Sing Off with Tim hitting some amazingly low notes, the second version is the five Home Free guys featuring Avi Kaplan. It really showcases two amazing basses.
For the beat boxer - Adam Rupp - check out Home Free - Drum Solo. You can really appreciate his talent when he is on the stage alone. Also Home Free with Kenny Rogers - Children Go Where I Send Thee.
Everything in this video is vocal, including the harmonica, the drums, and the crackle at the beginning of the video.
All their stuff is fantastic, but if you wanna hear the best harmonies: Seven Bridges Road. Outstanding.
Thank you for reacting to my favourite group, and I look forward to seeing more from you. 🙂 You've had some great suggestions already - can I echo the advice to wait on Mayday until you've seen a few more of their videos. They've covered some classic songs, but their latest album is mostly originals - the title track, Dive Bar Saints, is fun and shows some different things they can do.
Home Free is mostly country, but they can definitely handle other genres too. They did a great cover of Boyz II Men's End of the Road that you have to check out. Since you are watching PTX's winning appearance on The Sing Off, you will also have to watch Home Free's win the following season.
Just found your channel today Kyle, and really like your honest and genuine reactions. I, like you, didn't come to enjoy a capella until a bit later in life. I'll be honest, these recent a capella groups have totally changed how I listen to music. I'm glad you have found Home Free, these guys are incredible. Please take the time to get to know them, they have so many good videos it is impossible to point you to just one or two, but Ring of Fire (with Avi) is the usual top recommendation. Another group for you to check out is Voiceplay, I see others are recommending them too so yes do it. I'm pretty sure you'll like their arrangements as well so give them a listen. Keep it up!
They DEFINITELY have the headphone rule too😂
Oh boy -- now you've got Pentaholics and Home Fries! Love your reactions
Saw them live twice... they are amazing! They do everything! Just subscribed! Thanks!
Glad you started doing Home Free. If you want to see their humorous side, check out Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget (Look for a surprise cameo in the bar scene), The Butts Remix, chicken fried pop medley, full of cheer, and if you are a fan of The Big Lebowski, check out This is How We Roll. Like someone else said, see a few of their videos before Mayday (which sounds amazing) but is confusing until you know everyone's normal. If given the time, I would name every video because they are all great. Boondocks show how flawlessly they can do a mashup,
Home Free is just as cool if not better!!!
Please do How Great Thou art from Home Free next!!
Love Home Free! I got to see them live last year. :D
Wooohoo! Glad to see you giving Home Free some love. They make some beautiful music!
I can't wait until you check out Nightwish - Ghost Love Score. This has to be your first song with them and it will probably draw a crowd to your channel, esp with how well you are doing man. You're killin it!
Home free- Ring of Fire!!!!
Also - thank you for sharing - I love your reactions
Kyle, others have given a quick history of Home Free, but to answer the who's who question...
When you see all five standing together in this video here's the lineup:
Front Row (Left to Right)
- Rob Lundquist, Tenor (in overalls)
- Austin Brown, High Tenor
- Tim Faust, Bass
In the back you have...
Adam Chance, He replaced Chris Rupp (Baritone) in 2016.
Adam Rupp, Beatboxer and the only founding member still in the group.
Even though Chance filled the Baritone slot he's a bass. Tim Foust is known as one of the lowest basses out there, but he has a five octave range. Now with another bass in the group he has the option to sing tenor when he chooses.
These guys are phenomenal!! Beatbox is insane🔥... that bass tho 😍
More Homefree please!!!
I've only seen Ring of Fire by them because Avi was in it as well....but this was really really great. I love this song as well...the movie O Brother Where Art Thou is awesome.
Love your stories and your reactions. You will love Homefree. They won the Sing-off after Pentatonix and do a lot of country but more also. You should check out their older mash ups like Butts medley and well just any of their stuff. Try Can't Stop the Feeling to see how versatile they can be.
Hi, Kyle! I just discovered your channel because of Home Free. I’ve been a fan since their Sing Off season (4). As some people here have stated, Home Free is the first Country A Capella group, but their sound is unique. Sure, they can sound pretty country (like this one), but they’re oh, so much more. I’ve seen ITunes list their new album, “Dive Bar Saints” as Contemporary Country. Their new album has 10 originals and 2 covers. If you like Country, check out their cover ofJohn Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads”. I always considered myself a Rock Music fan and loved the Eagles. Well, check out their cover of the Eagles’ version of “Seven Bridges Road” (one of my favs since the Eagles are one of my top 10 Rock Super Groups). With all that being said, welcome to Home Fry (what we fans are called thanks to Ben Folds calling Home Free that on the Sing Off. Lol) land!! I really think you’ll enjoy the group, their style, how they come across through their videos as being down to earth. They really are! Thanks for this reaction. I will hit the “sub’ button when I’m done here. Sorry for the long post.
Just finished watching this video. I can’t wait for you to watch Ring of Fire and Elvira by Home Free. And honestly they started before Pentatonix but they did do the Sing-Off after Pentatonix which gave them more publicity. As far as I know they do only country. I’ve seen their live shows and it is not disappointing - you’ll definitely fall in love with this group as much as Pentatonix.
It was almost like watching you react to Pentatoix all over again! :)
Ring of Fire has Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix singing with them. It's great
They are mostly country, some pop. Tim is the bass, he's got crazy range. Austin is the lead singer, powerful voice. Adam is the beatboxer, Rob, with the beard, is the tenor, and Chance is the one in the background, he's their baritone/bass. he does both. They have a lot of fun to go along with their insane talent! Try reacting to Hillbilly Bone!
Home free has such a good sound, the individuals have a good sound and the Melody is so on point it's disgusting.
Thanks for this. I love Home Free my favorites are Some Girls Do shows off Adams beatboxing, Hillbilly Bone, Catch Me If You Can (original), Dreamer (original), Butts Remix just a fun one, like others have said wait on Mayday till you know them better
They do a little bit of everything! Butts Remix would be a good one. Truthfully you can't really go wrong with anything they do!! Enjoy!!!
Good music is good music no matter the genre!
Love watching people discover HF
Yay HOME FREE! Definitely check out “Timeless “ (an original) and the performances on “The Sing Off “ season 4 with intros and judges comments!
Thx I love this group
This is so strange, I just started listening to them and now you are watching them
Home Free does a killer rendition of Keith Urban 's Blue Ain't Your Color. Check it out! !
OMG!! Love HF! You gotta listen to the Butts Remix! It is funny and awsome.
Awesomeness=Home Free
Butts Remix by Home Free is a hoot!
I'd put this high on the reaction list for a few reasons:
- The arrangement blends multiple genres wonderfully
- It's got such a rich, full sound you'll have to remind yourself it's acappella
- You can see more of their humor in a fun, upbeat song like 'Butts'
