From things Austin said in their Home Away From Home Episode 17: QuaranTime video four years ago about being able to be at home after years of touring I knew it was just a matter of time before he decided to break from the touring/recording grind. I don't see any anger or hostility between him and the guys. I think he just figured it was time to go his won way, with no hard feeling on any side.

I'm afraid here are some continuing difficulties between Austin and HF management, which have resulted in everyone involved in the band signing a NDA and having (as far as we know) no contact with Austin since last spring. It's in the hands of lawyers, so we don't know what the problem is. If you remember, Austin was to have continued with the band until the fall but (against his will) he was replaced in June. All of this was quite separate from why he wanted to leave, which he has explained in full. It was not the way he expected to leave (and contrast the way Chris departed with speeches and parties and tears). It seems to have been a lesson in how NOT to manage the departure of an artist, with no explanation to fans or info forthcoming. Austin as always has made the best of a painful situation.

Steven Martinez is a former housemate and long time friend and business partner of Austin's. Steven performed in several videos recorded in and around Austin's home; Ain't No Sunshine, Unchained Melody, and Stand By Me to name 3 of them.

Austin told us why he left. He learned during lockdown, he likes being home. And his issue was not music, he was tired of the touring life. Home Free has an intense touring schedule. To Orchard, they do distribution for Home Free, but Home Free is indipendent. Perhaps it will chenage some time and they will go back to a big label, but Orchard can't tell them what to produce

Some people are upset because "this is a woman's song", but how appropriate is it for an independent artist who is working on getting his career flying? Aren't those harmonies fantastic?? You might recognize Steven from some of Austin's early solo videos. He is producing about half of Austin's music these days. Austin has gathered together a band that includes Steven and Aria, plus 2 guitarists and a drummer. You can 'meet' them in the video "BTS: Meet the Browns:, the link is in another comment. But you might want to go listen to some of his other recent releases; Way Back, for example, or When I Get Done Healing. Even AI - it is a fun one. He has released 7 other ORIGINAL songs (plus a couple covers) since the beginning of 2024, and the one he released at the very end of 2023 had Aria playing fiddle/violin on it. For "something totally different" you should go listen to "The Humankind" (kzbin.info/door/SLjqVkNKUMILaOVhG01yqg).

When Home Free won the "Sing Off" it came with a contract with Columbia. In an interview Chris Rupp said they knew going in that win or lose, they needed to take advantage of the exposure and they already had an album ready to release. Moreover, he said they knew the company wouldn't know what to do with them. After one or two records, they bought out the contract (Chris was still with them then). Since then - until Orchard was bought out by Sony - they were independent. I hadn't thought of the angle you've said but it makes perfect sense. BTW, Austin has a video wherein he introduces his new group (Steven Martinez has been his business partner/producer for a while now). #AustinBrown #HomeFree#DefyingGravity

Isn’t this amazing…like the song has always been bluegrass! As you noted, Steven Martinez played all the instruments in this except fiddle, it was recorded in his studio and he produced it. Thanks for your great reaction and I hope you’ll continue to do Austin’s solo music. Steven and Aria are members of Austin’s 5 piece band (Steven plays bass)…he’s got a drummer, and a couple of other guitar players… He released a vlog this week called Meet the Band where he introduces everyone. Austin put the band together back in late September when he got the opportunity to do a solo gig opening for a concert in Mt Juliet TN where he lives. His album is going to be 12-15 original songs…one we know will be on it is Hers Ain’t Mine (the official video was released recently).

Thank you so much for posting this! I absolutely love Austin, am amazed by his incredible musical talent, as well as Steven’s & Aria’s, & hate that he left Home Free! 😢It just isn’t the same for me. I still listen to them, & am doing my best to give Adam Bastien a chance, but he doesn’t have what Austin has. Austin just made me want to get up and sing along, have a party, & reached my soul!!! They’re still great, but I don’t get quite the same magical feeling as when Austin was there. To me, they ALL are just incredibly talented, & I love that they each get put out front with their talent in the spotlight! Tim Foust-there just aren’t enough words, and are any really needed?! Outstanding, and highly underrated by the country music industry! He just blows my mind! Adam Rupp-again, no words are needed! His talent as a beat boxer says it all & speaks for itself! Adam Chance-incredible. I wasn’t sure about him at first, but he’s grown on me, & has his spot in the group. And Rob Lundquist? Again, WOW, just WOW!!! He does a wonderful job, whether he’s whistling, doing backup, or taking the lead! He just makes you want to put him on the radio/stereo, crawl up with a glass of wine, candlelight, your loved ones, and by the fire, & sing along. His & Austin’s version of the “Nessun Dorma” opera was absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!! It made me want MORE! Just blew my mind!!!! He isn’t given enough credit! Even Tim usually gets credit for his stunning low base, but he does an amazing lead, also! I’m letting Bastien grow on me. I wasn’t thrilled when his “husband” answered someone’s post saying that he was “a member of Home Free,” when he clearly is NOT!!! SMH. Pretty arrogant of him. Not good, and they shouldn’t let him get away with that. He may be Bastien’s “other half”, he may help do things at times or be a guest at times, or even do things behind the scenes when asked to, but last I checked, HF is a FIVE-member acapella country vocal group, & he should not in any way claim to be a “member” when he is NOT! When he is with them FT, & HF says he is a LEGIT, FT SIXTH MEMBER, an all-the-time vocal part/member of the group, I will stand corrected. For now, his opinion is not my concern. Home Fries understand why Austin did what he did, but we still do NOT like it, even though we all respect him and Amberly and it was his choice to make. He wanted to be at home with his new wife, building his marriage up before having a family, & he didn’t want to leave Amberly at home with a baby/small child while he was always on the road touring & missing all of the “firsts” of their new baby/child! We get that. We don’t like it much, because we love to hear Austin! However, we do want the best for him & Amberly, and their hopefully upcoming family. He is still putting out music, writing/producing, doing videos, and performing in places, & Lord willing, we will get the opportunity to hear & see him again. I wish #HomeFree, #_theAustinBrown, & #AmberlyBrown, as well as #StevenMartinez & #AriaStiles all the best!!! @Austin, you deserve it!!! @HomeFree, keep the music coming!!! Will always be a fan of both!!! God bless!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@nightthornkvala94132 Thats the problem with younger folks, your not allowed to have an opinion. Sorry to spoil your day but its my opinion. He doesnt blend well. I was sad when Chris left but Chance has blended very well in the group and can take over bass when Tim leads. He blends in perfectly. Ive been watching them since the Sing-Off. I never saw them before that. And before you say I dont know about group blending, Ive been doing it for 55 years. I started as a freshman in High School and been doing Choirs, Barbershop, and Gospel Quartets since then. In Barbershop Blending was a requirement. We had a Barbershop Choir but the quartets you needed to see who you blended with. Same with Gospel. So yes, I know about blending in a group. And MY opinion is he doesnt, Your opinion is different, but its your opinion thats good for YOU and you alone. Others may have a different opinion and thats fine too.
