    His name is Austin Brown. Yes, he was raised in the church, so has a gospel background. He also studied musical theatre, there are videos of him singing Bring Him Home from Les Miserable out there. He has his own channel where he releases his solo work, both covers and originals. For something different, you might watch his solo video of a song he wrote about the work ethic he was raised with called Earn It.
    Oh, there’s also a great story out there about how Austin ended up in Home Free. The group has existed for over twenty years. Basically, Home Free was playing a concert when Austin was working the cruise ships. One of Austin’s coworkers knew some Home Free guys and warned them about this really excitable guy who was coming to the concert. Sure enough, Austin was so blown away by Tim Foust (the bass) in particular, that he swore then and there he HAD to be in Home Free one day. The rest is history!

    • @patriciamcl54
      @patriciamcl54 Před 9 dny

      Not quite. Home Free were guest artists on the ship where Austin was featured singer. It was always the case that the resident artists and the guests took in each other's shows on the ship, and in this case they were mutually impressed. He and Tim got drunk together, but it was Rob who particularly impressed him and who told him that there was likely to be a vacancy coming up.
      The actual story from their own lips is on the History of Home Free on Chris Rupp's channel. Btw No-one said that Austin was "really" excitable - just a little.

    This is absolutely fabulous. The lead singer on this song is Austin Brown , high tenor who has a degree in theater arts. He was sing this to his girlfriend at the time and they are now married. Tim is their bass singer who ha s a 5 octive level of singing. Chance is their baritone, bass singer. Rob is a tenor and Adam is their beat boxer. There isn't anything that they can't sing. You should hear two country boys sing Nessum Dormer. It is amazing.It is sung by Austin Brown and Rob Lindquist who also has degree in theater arts and has had opera training. You will be blown away.

    Here are a few that will take you a little further into the rabbit hole: Take Me Home Country Roads, Blue Ain’t Your Color, My Church, When You Walk In, I Can’t Outrun You, Love Train, End Of the Road, Hillbilly Bone, In The Blood… Who Am I kidding, you could choose anything and it would be phenomenal. My only recommendation is hold off on reacting to “Mayday” until you’ve reacted to at least 10 of their other songs and know all of their names. I’ve been waiting for another Home Free reaction for a while so I’m so glad you made your way back to them. Also, their original songs are amazing too so give “Dive Bar Saints” a listen too. The rabbit hole is deep, wide, and filled with pure joy.

    Austin Brown was working (singing) on a cruise ship where Home Free was also performing. He told them he would like to sing with them and the opportunity came about where the lead tenor was out for a week. He filled in for him and then the lead tenor retired and Austin took over. The rest is history.

    The Rob Squad is my favorite reaction site because they are down to earth and unlike most others, do not overreact to what they are listening to. It is funny, and I guess amusing, that what Amber wanted to say was that she didn't think this kind of emotion could come from a white singer. Happens all the time. No one has a monopoly on emotion folks. Great video.

  • @mdanam
    @mdanam Před 2 lety +136

    Austin Brown is one of the very best singers I have ever heard in my entire life. Home Free is also very, very supportive of reaction channels. If you reach out to him he'll give you an interview. I've seen him do full 1 hour interviews on other channels. As far as taking you to church, they literally do that on several of their videos. The best one in my opinion is How Great Thou Art, and they have a version of Amazing Grace that is spectacular.

They also did a wonderful version of "Ring of Fire", "Love Train," "Some Girls Do," and so many others. You can't go wrong with Home Free. Austin Brown sings lead on this one. He has his own CZcams channel and his version of Etta James' "At Last" is incredibly beautiful. Tim Foust (the deep bass), does a duet of "Misty Mountains" with Peter Hollens that will blow you away. The last note on that song sounds like it came from deep within the earth.

      Tami Simkins That is known as basso profundo - it may also be heard in some Russian Orthodox choir pieces where the bass goes so low that it doesn't sound human. The voice is the first musical instrument to ever exist, and according to Orthodox Christian tradition the most perfect instrument with which to praise God - unaccompanied by anything else.

Their bass, Tim Foust breaks speakers because he goes so low. I call him a dragon. The beat boxer, Adam Rupp is just barely human! No body can do what he does, nobody. Adam Chance’s voice sounds like chocolate, liquid warmth… and Rob Lundquist is a beautiful tenor that’s like honey. There is nothing like them.

His voice is amazing. You have to listen to some of his solo stuff but any Home Free song is going to be good. Try their cover of End of the Road, or Blue Aint Your Colour, or My Church, or Crazy, or their mash up of Thinking out loud/Let's get it on. To see their more humourous side, check out their Butts Remix or All about that Base. It wont matter what you pick, you will be impressed either way. They are amazingly talented.

      Also an Okie who absolutely loves these guys. They're the best and I've got seven decades of being a music fan, but nobody has been so consistently great as these guys... except maybe Elvis, but there some of his that I wasn't a huge fan of.

    five vocalists, Austin Brown, Rob Lundquist, Adam Rupp, Tim Foust, and Adam Chance. Starting as a show group, they toured around 200 shows a year across the United States. The group competed in and won the fourth season of The Sing-Off on NBC in 2013.

    The group were booked on a cruise and Austin was a singer engaged with the cruise line. When he heard them sing- he said... and I paraphrase, I want to sing with them. So he does!!

    Every man a part of Home Free is equally talented alone However together their vocals are awesome and produce such tight harmonies ! You’re correct Austin’s (Georgia and his dad was in a gospel group)high
    tenor is beautiful! Tim’s bass is awesome too! But he’s able to sing effortlessly in a vocal range and Tims from South East Texas. Adam the beatboxer and his brother Chris (no longer singing with the group) started the group. Rob is equally awesome and he can produce beautiful soulful songs too! Adam chance sings bass to tenor but not as wide a vocal range as Tim! When they sing together, the harmonies are always tight and clear! Those tight harmonies are what give us all excited chills

It’s just amazing that these young folks are trying to keep the arts of various kinds still active it’s a blessing to us all. Thank you for sharing you take care and be safe. Take care of your Beautiful little family.❤🤠

  • @frankphillips5660
    @frankphillips5660 Před 2 lety +81

    Love Austin Brown and he does this song more than justice. However the original by PERCY SLEDGE, released in 1966 was a huge hit on the POP charts AND R&B charts and the soul he put into it can't be matched. Percy and his band mates wrote this after his girl left him. One of the most perfect songs ever written and I bet most men can relate to the song. You should listen to the original official audio version of this classic.

  • @lisafiraben2589

    Thank you for your reaction. Austin did a fabulous job of this classic song. Loved Percy Sledge's version, but this was taken to another level. And remember this was done during quarantine, so the guys weren't even together. The backing harmonies are great, along with Tim's bass. And Adam's vocal percussion is outstanding. This is why these guys are my favorite a cappella group.

  • @alicesmith7020
    @alicesmith7020 Před 2 lety +29

    @rosemary702001 Před 2 lety +30

    Please don’t wait so long to react to more Home Free!!! Others have listed their many hits but my favorite is “Crazy,” a remake of the Patsy Cline song. They are phenomenal and hearing their version never tears me away from loving the original. In fact, they usually perform hits as an homage to the original singers such as End of the Road (masterful), American Pie with the original writer/singer, Don McLean, and Blue Ain’t Your Color with their own twist. They have a lot of dedicated fans who follow them and their reactors!

  • @miamidolphinsfan
    @miamidolphinsfan Před 2 lety +23

    Yesssss Home Free just NAILED IT...as they always d, and on top of that this was a quarantine cover they did. Others to check out from Home Free, ...of course HOW GREAT THOU ART...you'll be going to church again, a collab with Oeter Hollens on a a U2 song, I Still haven't found what I'm looking for. As for this masterpiece the lead is is *AUSTIN BROWN* , and he even has his own channel and has done some solo stuff, including his own music...but his covers include, Unchained Melody, At Last (the Etta James cover), Put your head on my shoulder (Paul Anka cover), Signed, sealed, delivered (Stevie Wonder cover), My Maria (BW Stevenson cover), Neon Moon (Brooks & Dunn cover) & Tears in Heaven (Eric Clapton cover) and an original If I met you now, that he co-wrote.

    Other amazing covers by Home Free that rival if not surpass the original are “End of the Road”, “My Church”, “Mayday” and “Country Road” among others.
    Any of them would be a great place to continue hearing the range of this wildly talented group.

  • @sherrismith8337
    @sherrismith8337 Před 2 lety +35

    Some other songs that I HIGHLY recommend you check out by Home Free are "Butts Medley", "My Church" and for Christmas time, "Do You Hear What I Hear". A solo song from Austin Brown (the lead in this video) that I think you guys would flip over is "At Last" where he sings the song in the same key in which Etta James sang it. All of these guys can and do sing lead in different songs. It just depends on whose voice is more suited to the arrangement. Adam Rupp (the beatboxer) doesn't like the limelight and it's very rare to hear him sing, although he sounds like an angel when he does.

  • @randallducote8110

    Their cover of Patsy Cline's classic "Crazy" from the early 60's is just as fantastic! Another one to check out is "My Maria" from the early 70's. That one has Austin Brown and Tim Foust on someones back porch along with a few other musicians. very low tech and chill, but is just gold! You owe it to yourselves as Homefries to give them a listen. Love the channel and what you two are doing on it - Thanks!

    • @patriciamcl54

      They were on the deck of Austin's house. He built the deck himself. The other musicians are all highly respected: Chris Chatham, voice and guitar. Sebastien Douyon, keys and Austin's producer, and Chris Marion, bass, Tim's BIL. They made some more awesome recordings the same day: Signed Sealed Delivered and an incredible cover of Neon Moon (Austin solo).

  • @robynmatheson7687

    Adam Rupp(percussion) and his brother Chris founded the group when they were in college, about 20 yrs ago. Rob Lundquist, lead tenor da(glasses and beard) joined in 2008(if I remember correctly). These 3 are from Minnesota. Tim Foust,bass with a 5 octave range(dark hair) joined next, he’s from Texas. Austin Brown,high tenor( lead singer in this video) joined in 2012. He’s from Georgia. In 2013 they won “The Sing-off “, an a cappella TV competition. In 2016 Chris Rupp left to pursue a solo career, and he hand picked his replacement, Adam Chance,baritone/bass with a 4 octave range(dark hair with beard). He is from Alabama. They’re all highly trained musicians. It would be great if you checked out songs that highlight each of them. “End of the Road “ is a MUST, with Rob taking the lead. He digs deep into his soul on this. “I Can’t Outrun You”, Adam Chance lead that will hit your heart…he also directed the video. “Your Man”, Tim lead. You heard what Austin can do today. And it would be worth watching one of the concert videos of Adam Rupp doing a drum solo. He is truly the heartbeat of the group. They are quite talented individually, but together they’re heavenly. There are many more to suggest, but if you start with these you’re on your way. “End of the Road “ is the perfect follow up to this.

    Austin is from Georgia
    Tim Foust the bass is from Texas
    Rob Lundquist the other tenor beside Austin is from Minnesota.
    Adam Rupp is the beat-boxer and his brother Chris Rupp who left the group for a solo career are founding members from Minnesota.
    Adam Chance who goes by " Chance" is from Alabama he is the Baritone but can sing Bass. Home Free won on the

    There is no such thing as a "bad or mediocre" Home Free song. Their songs are more like "excellent to outstanding". They run the gambit in covers and even some originals. My list of outstanding ones would include "End of the Road", "Mayday", "American Pie" featuring the OG himself, Don Mclean, "Elvira" featuring the Oak Ridge Boys. When Christmas gets closer, "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" again featuring the Oak Ridge Boys "O Holy Night", "Warmest Winter". They are especially good with comedic songs, "Butts Remix", "Champaign Taste on a Beer Budget", "Sea Shanty Medley", and "Never Gonna Give You Up" just to name a few. Looking forward to your next Home Free reaction, whatever it may be.
