Emotional First Reaction To Home Free - How Great Thou Art | Vocalist From The UK Reacts

[@suzannejensen9146]

Love this song. I think your emotion to this song is wonderful. You have a tender heart. When my Dad was nearing then end of his life, he asked me to sing this song at his funeral. I stopped and looked at him and said "um... no" I knew I wouldn't make it through this song alone, so my two adult daughters sang it with me. We stood at the pulpit with our arms around each other, and it was perfect. We were blessed.

Oh wow. That is so special. I'm truly blessed and touched by your comment. Thank you so much for sharing that ❤️❤️❤️

This song is a special treat because all five are singing. The man who sang "It is Well" is one of the world's best beat boxers/vocal percussionists, but rarely sings. Hearing a song like this makes one wonder why he is reluctant to do so.

Welcome to Home Free. The video was shot in the Austrian Alps.

If you really want to hear this live, look up them singing this in a tent, standing on a picnic table during a thunderstorm in Kearny, MO. It doesn't get more live than that.

[@roniboyd613]

I have watched that so many times ❤

[@thomasmacdiarmid8251]

It is good for what it is, but it is recorded on a phone, so it is limited. However, that they chose to go and sing like that for fans that were run out of the amphitheater by a thunderstorm speaks volumes for their character.

[@laurafarano4557]

Thank you! I hadn't found this recording yet. Once again the pure talent just shines!!

[@daleb1279]

Just as little friendly advice, always let the Home Free videos run to the end, they often leave a message or a funny nugget at the end of their videos, they talk to their Home Fries often about the message of each song. They can do stunning vocal arrangements like this, they can do funny and goofy, and they don't confine themselves to a genre, they lean country, but do all manner of genres (wait til you hear them sing opera!).

Just wait til you hear the rest of their work ... originals and covers that will blow your mind ! But best of all , you will discover the hearts of these uniquely talented men and learn why we Home Fries (fans of Home Free) adore them ! And you're right , they were meant to sing together !

[@meemermarie1977]

I havnt listened to the radio in 5 years. Best vocals are independant artist who have control over their music

[@timworks991]

Yes, welcome to Home Free, all acapella, no instruments at all. This was filmed in the Austrian Alps, close to where the "Sound of Music" was filmed. They do have a way of picking settings that match up with their songs. Masters of all musical genres. They won the 4th season of the Sing Off in 2013. Their covers are upgrades, their medleys are brilliant, their collaborations with the original artists are inspirational, and their original songs are masterpieces. Within this 5 man vocal band you have 5 tenors, 5 beat boxers, and 2 bass-baritones. All of them can sing lead and they choose depending on whose voice best fits the song. The group consists of Adam Rupp (beat boxer), Rob Lundquist (Tenor), Chris Rupp (Baritone, he left the group in 2016), these three are from Minnesota, Adam Chance (Baritone/Bass Who replaced Chris in 2016) from Alabama, Tim Faust (Bass) from Texas, and Austin Brown (High Tenor) from Georgia. They can do just about anything and they continue to grow and improve, yet they remain so humble. When they have featured guest artist, they support and allow their featured artists to shine. Several of them have their own channels and do some solo work. And just for fun Rob and Austin sing Opera. For a live performance, check out their "Sea Shanty Medley" live video. They did the original Sea Shanty Medley during lock down and it went viral. Ubisoft even asked them to write an original sea shanty for their game Skull and Bones, based on hearing their medley, (and they did). I think their live performance is even better than the original video. What else can I say? Their catalogue of work is quite large and continues to grow. You are in for an exciting journey and the Home Fries will be there for you all the way.

[@helenhenthorn4948]

Great synopsis but it's Tim FOUST, not Faust.

[@Msmtnest]

Your reaction and comments were spot on for me. This masterpiece was filmed in Austria when they were in Europe for a conference. Others will fill you in on the particulars. I have had the pleasure to see them in concert five times so far and will definitely go again whenever they have a show within range (about 400 miles so far). They are genuinely nice guys and never disappoint with the performance. The group started in the early 2000s and won season 4 of the Sing Off in 2013. There has been one personnel change since then when Adam Chance replaced Chris Rupp. They sing every genre and have a great time performing great arrangements of both covers and originals. Welcome to the rabbit hole.

[@jankreps5115]

Your reaction is very similar to mine! The first time I heard them singing this amazing mashup of two hymns I began to cry! It’s just so beautiful! Can’t wait to hear your next reaction home free! They have so many great songs to enjoy! Listen to Angels we have heard on high;… oh holy nigh. Silly songs like Country Fried Pop medly; hillbilly bone;…”Good Ole Boy Good Time”. “Thinking out loud/ Lets get it on:…Champagne Tastes on a Beer Budget;; Man of constant sorrow;…Fishing in the dark/boondocks mashup… die a happy Man;… 7 Bridges Rd; God bless the USA Lee Greenwood in the US Air Force band;… Land of the free;..Dive on in and keep reacting to home free great music!!

If you want to hear them live, the best version is probably their live version of the sea shanty melody. It is their only "official" live video.

[@chilcootchicks4968]

Yes! The live versions out there are Fan Cam videos. While they are fun to watch, the sound never comes through. I finally saw them live this last year and the professionally recorded Sea Shanty is what it really sounded like in person.

[@Ingrid_Haendel]

Both Sea Shanty Medleys - official live and the music video are great. But they also have another official live version of 'Dreamer'

[@rllangevin3841]

@TheCharlieSmithChannel Dreamer, LIVE at the Ryman feat. Texas Hill is not only a great collaboration but also an original AND there’s a fun mid-song intro of everyone by Tim.

[@robynmatheson7687]

Church choir backed by a pipe organ(Tim and Chance hit us with the double bass at the end)-the second of the first 4 songs that made a Home Fry. “Man of Constant Sorrow “, “End of the Road”, and “ Do You Hear What I Hear?” will all blow your mind. The first Chance lead I heard melted me-“I Can’t Outrun You “- 5 part harmony, hauntingly beautiful and Chance directed the video. I believe they are Heaven sent, their vocal blend is so gorgeous. I always feel better when I listen to them.

[@rllangevin3841]

Amen! Great suggestions!

[@patriciavernon9795]

You have been introduced to my absolutely favorite group a capella or otherwise! Their voices are pure magic together! They can sing songs of reverence like this one, Brothers In Arm or Go Rest High On That Mountain that bring you to tears and they can bring humor to songs like Brother, Life Is A Highway or Champagne Taste On A Beer Budget that bring you to tears of laughter! They sing all genres and have many awesome originals. They touch my heart like no other group. Thank you for a very touching reaction and I love the NY Yankees hat! #HomeFree

So great to see the first reaction of someone who's clearly wired for Home Free. Welcome to the party! They do embody the best of humanity, including a lot of humor, by the way. The guys are wonderful people individually and as a group. They have great chemistry, great taste in music, are all fine musicians. Their sound and overall vibe is organic, true to nature while making great art. Two favorites: their collaboration with Kenny Rogers, Children Go Where I Send Thee, and their recent release, Stand by Me.

[@rickkneisel6687]

Wonderful reaction and a beautiful song to begin with. There was no beat boxing in this arrangement and it was very appropriate. You are going to be stunned by the beat boxer once you explore their huge library of songs and videos with a touch of all genres. I think those of us who have preceded you in this rabbit hole found the same as you....the first song captured one's admiration, awe, and wonderment. You will not be able to go wrong on any song they do...any cover, any hymn, and silly song, any original. Those of us who have fallen in that rabbit hole and continue to fall are referred to as Home Fries. I guarantee if you do more of their songs, your channel will grow. We are on the edge of fanatical!!!!!! They are very humble and just seem like good folk.

This is a fan favorite and one of their best, but there is no bad Home Free cover or original! They are even more incredible live! These guys are down to earth, funny goofballs at times, but each one is so talented! They consider themselves country a cappella, but they have a unique style all their own. They’ve covered many genres of music including Rock, Pop, Gospel, Patriotic, Folk, and two even did an opera song.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

They did this video in the Austrian Alps on their way home after the covid shutdown made them have to leave their European tour. You are not the only reactor that was brought to tears with the beauty of this rendition. The brief bit of "It is well" was a rare treat for fans of Home Free. It is notable as the first solo bit from the beatboxer, Adam Rupp, who has a beautiful tenor voice. We get to hear him sing harmony, but usually, he does the vocal percussion and beatboxing exclusively. Adam is the one original member of Home Free. With his brother, Chris, they created the group we know as Home Free. Others will fill you in with lots more information.

[@vickiadkins9844]

Adam, Chance, Rob, Austin and Tim!! Angels here on earth!! They are the best of the best in all their music. Subbed for moreof the boys!! I've seen them live 3 times. I've seen them sing this hymn twice. Just as beautiful live or maybe even more beautiful

[@dotwyness4110]

Now you've watched your first Home Free video you cant stop now, they have 200ish videos out there, not including the ones that were done by Home Fries from the audience. Adam who sang It Is Well is the beatboxer extraordinaire, its not often that he sings solo's because hes busy being the drums, harmonica or castanets etc. Keep reacting to our young men and the Home Fries will come running, subbed for more please 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@pennymaple1817]

Thanks for a wonderful reaction Charlie. Being a UK Home Free fan I like to support UK reactors of Home Free, so I've subbed for more Home Free! They need more UK exposure! They have been to the UK three times so far, once in 2016/17 when they were touring Europe - this video was shot in Austria on that tour. They came again in 2018 when I was lucky enough to see them in London. Their 2020 European tour was cancelled due to COVID (sob!) but they finished that tour in 2023, when I again saw them in Manchester. They are superb live! Check out their Sea Shanty medley live - you will not be disappointed! Their rabbit hole is very deep - enjoy the journey!

[@JoanN63]

Home Free is simply amazing and for me the number 1 A-cappella group. Five great voices, each with their own specialty. The best harmonies From Left to Right: • Adam Chance(called Chance)-Baritone/bass with a voice so smooth and sexy with a slightly raspy edge. Performs alternating bass with Tim (bass 1) •Austin Brown-High tenor with a voice so powerful and with great runs. •Tim Foust- Bass, but can reach ranges from high to low. •Rob Lundquist-Tenor, with a voice as soft as silk, so soulful, but oh so versatile. A great whistler. •Adam Rupp- Beatboxer/vocal artist. What he can do vocally is simply non-human. Coincidentally, he doesn't show it in this song. Here he sings a very small piece of solo, which he rarely does, even though he has a good tenor voice. He started Home Free in 2000 with his brother Chris Rupp and three others. Over the years, a few members left and were replaced. Rob joined in 2008, Tim in 2012, but had already participated once in 2010. Austin came in 2013. That year they also participated in the Sing Off and won. In 2016, Chris left the group to work on his solo career and other projects (including 7th Ave with sister Tristin). He was replaced by Chance. By the way, they can all beatbox, which is also demonstrated in the live performance of the song 9to5. But how beautifully they sing this song, for me the best performance. They show that music is emotion. Even my mother (86), a true Christian, often asks if I want to play this. Because in addition to that great singing, this is of course also a video in a wonderful scenery. Follow Home Free and you won't regret it. Because even though they officially do country, they can really do all the genres. Suggestion: (starting with) "Man Of Constant Sorrow", "Ring Of Fire", End Of the Road", Brothers in Arms", "Stand By Me", "Colder Weather" 😊

[@dianadickerson749]

Enjoy this journey, we sure have.

[@carladewitt1947]

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I believe we have a new Home Fry. Welcome to the club. Whether they are being silly, serious or something in between, the Home Free boys are always amazing. I have seen them in concert three times and they sound just as good live as they do in a studio recording. The music always comes first, you never see any hints of ego. All four of the vocalists can carry the lead and their vocal percussionist is one of the best out there (you watched one of the rare videos without the beatboxing). Just five great guys that you'd love to go party with. Enjoy the ride.

[@cowboy1165]

Two songs from Home Free that will be having you jump into this rabbit hole head first is "Brothers in Arms," and "Go Rest High On That Mountain." You have over 200 songs to catch up on, but these two will nail you to the floor in front of your computer for more. Great reaction, and don't worry about the moisture.

Love Home Free. I discovered them during the pandemic and fell in love. Their harmonies are exquisite and what’s fun is they can sing every genre. They also love having fun so they can make you laugh or cry and can be so goofy. They were just in England this past Sept. so you can look on KZbin for something live. I’ve been to a couple of their concerts and they’re so good live. Tim, the bass, has blown speakers before and Adam, the beatboxer, just blew a speaker recently. Try Helplessly Hoping, I Can’t Outrun You, Yours, Brothers in Arms, One Man Band, Stand by Me to hear more incredible harmonies. Their Christmas songs are wonderful too. 😍😄

[@Ur4chun8]

You are going to love these guys! They've been around doing the "show band" circuit for about 23 years now. They won TV's A Capella show, "The Sing-Off" in 2013 where they became known as the only "country" A Capella group but believe me, they can do anything. They like to surprise their fans and have a great sense of humor. They like each other, and don't take themselves too seriously. Yes, you can find videos of them singing live and fans say they are great live. They were started by two brothers in college. One of the founding brothers left the group around 2016 or so just to do some things on his own. The other brother is still with the group, and is one of the best beat-boxers you will ever hear. They wrote all the songs on last year's album. Two did a tremendous job 'trying" to sing opera. One wrote a pirate video game theme which the group sang. They have a 5-octave range base singer. Their videos are done well and they try to keep them coming out about every two weeks. They tour the USA and over seas. The video above was done while in Austria. etc. etc. Love the group!

Unexpected progressions and resolutions are a hallmark of HF arrangements throughout the years. Even without the visual, this is a masterpiece. No one trying to prove how "powerful" they are, no unnecessary flourishes - just beautiful 5-part harmony. If you'd like to see them do this 'live on stage', try one of these (search for) "Home Free HOW GREAT THOU ART Live from the first row" or "How Great Thou Art / It Is Well. @HomeFree Greeneville, TN NCAP". People are recommending the off mic ones in Kearney, but most of them are terribly lopsided in sound. The best one is "Home Free: off-mic HOW GREAT THOU ART" recorded by Ingrid Perkins, which was recorded basically from behind them. Their ability to just get up on a table in a thunderstorm, no mics, no ear pieces, just a pitch pipe and do this is really stunning. HF is a remarkable group, they cover songs from this to a medley of "butts" songs and everything in between. Enjoy the rabbit hole.

[@dagmar.6954]

Thanks for your reaction. Welcome to the fabulous world of Home Free, the best a cappella group out there. I think this is one of the best versions of this song. Tim Foust's bass really carries the song. I found Home Free 3 years ago & love these 5 talented guys. Their harmonies are the best in the business. This is one of the few songs where you get to hear Adam Rupp's (beatboxer) sweet tenor voice during "It Is Well". And the scenery is awesome filmed in the beautiful Austrian Alps (my dad came from that area). Please check out more of their songs. Most new reactors start with "Man Of Constant Sorrow".

[@HFtraveller]

A long time home fry here. Welcome to HF Fandom and the never ending rabbit hole. I know I am biased, but as you said, these guys were meant to sing together. This song/video cemented my interest. I have had the pleasure of seeing them live 5 times, plus being at Tim's birthday bash. The Fab Five sang How Great Thou Art on the Holiday tour this season. Having met them, they come across as very nice people. Have fun experiencing all their videos. All are super enjoyable. I have many favs, but do check out Helplessly Hoping, Go Rest High on That Mountain and Country Roads. Save Mayday until you are quite familiar with each singer's range.

Definitely a must! But you forgot to tell how to find it… Just search: Home Free How Great Thou Art Kearney, MO. There’s a few videos from different angles, all of them recorded by audience members with varying levels of audio and visual but that doesn’t make them less awesome

[@lazylady8591]

The video is in the Austrian Alps. They are just as gifted in a live performance as they are in a video. Long before they made videos, they made their living traveling and working 200 days a year, giving live performances at different venues. If you want to see some of their live performances, you can see their performances on The Sing-Off, an acapella competition show, on season four. It's on KZbin. They unsurprisingly won the competition. Home Free has continuously improved since those performances on The Sing-Off ten years ago. They made new versions of The Sing-Off songs for the tenth anniversary of their performances recently. Of course, the new versions were studio versions. Still, people who have been to their live performances say their live performances sound just like their videos. Home Free is labeled primarily a country acapella group, but they can and do all genres of music. They are engaging unassuming down to earth guys who work endlessly on their art. They can sing like angels or even a church organ. They can sing uplifting songs, goofy songs, country songs, R&B, opera, and so forth. They made videos even during lockdown, helping their fans through the ordeal.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Sorry for a 2nd comment, but I forgot to include the live you asked about...look for their (sort of) original the Sea Shanty Medley, it was performed at one of their 2023 concerts. It's really awesome too

For a live performance recorded well, there is also Joy to the World at the Hosanna Concert. It includes their prior baritone, founder Chris Rupp (replaced in 2016 by Adam Chance)It has a jazzy gospel feel.

I cry every time i hear this. By far my favorite rendition of such a beautiful testimony to our Father 🙏. If you want more goosebumps, might i suggest Home free featuring Peter Hollins doing "Amazing Grace" in a chapel 🕊️💜. They also do a great rendition of "God Bless the USA". Their catalog is a huge rabbit hole.....enjoy the ride 😊

[@CharleneKelly-p6d]

Hi new subscriber here. I loved your reaction and I love Home Free. I also cried when I listened to this for the first time!! I have seen them live and they are even better seeing them in person. Can't wait to see your journey down the rabbit hole of awesomeness!!

[@beadwright]

They have hundreds of covers in their catalog, all good. However, they are songwriters too. Just recently they were commissioned to write a song for the video game skull and bones. It is amazingly good. So far they have released a lyric video and a live performance of Skull and Bones with the official music video to come.

[@joanwharff6483]

Yes ‼️… their concerns are Amazing &, so much Fun 🙃❣️‼️… I’m seeing them again in March…3rd X🙃❣️‼️ This is filmed in the Austrian Alps….they had been there for an a cappella get together….&, as flying over here…it was decided…we Have to do this hymn Here ‼️

[@jimseymour9711]

Home free is absolutely the best, their depth of talent is unreal. btw love the victrola :)

[@peterholmes2485]

Their newest one is their version of Colder Weather it's chilling and pure magic. There are so many fantastic songs from sad, religious, funny and opera believe it as well. 🇬🇧

[@peggybischoff2672]

Wow great reaction. Thank you so much for sharing. I have immediately subscribed, and am looking forward to seeing more Home Free videos. Brothers in Arms is one that will blow your socks off since you enjoy their harmony.

[@johnandkitty]

Great reaction. Great insights. Welcome to Home Free.

[@lorriredmon8212]

I loved your reaction to this. It is so beautiful and moving! You just said everything that needed to be said about it. Thank you so much for your genuineness. I appreciate that so much.

[@teresacartwright5406]

This was filmed in the Austrian Alps. IMHO Home Free is THE best acapella band. They're all vocal chameleons and 3 of them are song writers. They sing (and write) in almost every genre from gospel to goofy. There's a live video of them singing this standing on a picnic table during a thunderstorm ("Home Free Kearney") and a recent video "Sea Santy Medley Live". Dive down the rabbit hole - it's a great trip! Love from a new Canadian subscriber.

[@hollyhock3945]

They sound just as great live.

[@roniboyd613]

Welcome to the Home Free club❤ The songs that hit you the hardest are the most memorable right? I subbed because your reaction moved me. I have been a Home Fry since 2013 when they won the Sing Off. A fun audience recorded video would be 9 To 5 Beatbox live. They sing just about every genre including opera (Nessun Dorma, Rob & Austin only). Thank you for taking the first step on your Home Free journey ❤

Welcome to the Home Free party. Best a cappella group out there, I think. Hymns are not my thing, but this brought me to tears the first time I heard it, too. Fabulous arrangement by Darren Rust, who does most of their arrangements as well as producing. They call him the 6th member of the group. Master class in 5-part harmony. They have a very deep and varied catalog - everything from country to pop to rock to R&B to sacred. The 2 tenors even did Nessun Dorma. A couple of suggestions for next time: Helplessly Hoping, Stand By Me, Playing With Fire (an original co-written by Austin Brown, their high tenor). But, really, you can't go wrong with anything on their list. Enjoy the ride!

[@troywalker8078]

I want this version played at my funeral. The one person in attendance will love it.

[@errolowl1]

Loved your discovery of Home Free and your moved reaction! I'd suggest 'My Church' for a similar energy with beatboxing added. 'Man of Constant Sorrow' is a good introductory one to get to know their individual talents. They are even better live in concert IMO! There are very few professional live recordings of them though you'll find a flood of cell-phone footage that can't quite capture their sound. For a live performance reaction, I would actually suggest anything from the sing-off (a competition they won) along with the judges comments to start. A newer live recording is the 'Sea Shanty Medley live'. Glad to discover your channel!

[@chilcootchicks4968]

Perfect! Those 3 songs are great choices. 🎶💕

[@rllangevin3841]

If you haven’t already check out Dreamer, LIVE at the Ryman feat. Texas Hill - it’s a great original and a collaboration where Tim does a fun mid-song intro of everyone. Filmed during the first tour after lockdown was lifted. It’s fantastic!!

[@nancywiebe3693]

Love watching someone discovering my favorite group. As good live.

[@denise_landry]

Stunning performance - their blend is simply unmatched imho. Thanks, new sub! 🍟

[@drummersteveusa]

Home Free is amazing. I actually got to see them in person and it was a fantastic show. By the way the gentleman who started singing first is Tim Faust. and he is their bass singer.

[@gammarat41]

There are many live (cellphone) recordings where the sound may not be great, but the 'Sea Shanty medley' live is amazing. Try 'In the Blood', 'Traveling Soldier', or 'The Driver' or pretty much any other song in their catalog-you won't be disappointed!

[@isilmiel]

Home Free is amazing! If you want to check out a good live video of them, search for “Go Rest High On That Mountain” The Church Sessions. It’s another cover with no beatboxing (just wait until you hear their beatboxer, tho!), with their baritone (Chance) covering the bass line and their bass (Tim) singing harmonies. It’s another emotional one, so prepare yourself! 😊

[@charleneclaassen]

Love your style. Subbed for more Home Free reactions. 😊

[@Tessie46255]

These guys are my very favorites!! They can’t miss. Check out Go Rest High on that Mountain. Very nice! ❤️

[@belinda9696]

They do have a beatboxer,(the one with the ponytail that sang "It Is Well') but when it's not needed He sings with them in 5 part harmony. They are well known for their great harmony. Please Check out more Home Free. A recent one I like is "Stand By Me", If you want to see a recent live on-stage video check out their "Sea Shanty Medley Live". Oh! They were in Austria and did this during one of their European tours. Those mountains remind me of the movie Sound Of Music.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

They were in the area where parts of the movie were filmed. That little church is seen in the movie.

[@belinda9696]

@@barbarakennedy2667 Cool! I didn't know that. Thanks.

[@sueby1962]

New subscriber. Great reaction, too! I love it when people discover Home Free. They are a freakishly talented group of fellas that excel in all music genres. They can make you laugh sometimes, they can make you cry sometimes but they always impress. Here's a cheat sheet on the group: Adam Rupp, co-founder of HF and the awesome beatboxer. Tim Foust, bass. He has a five-octave range. Rob Lundquist (glasses and beard) Tenor Harmony. Austin Brown, Lead Tenor. Adam Chance, Baritone ( goes by Chance). Chance replaced Chris Rupp (co-founder) who left in 2016. Take Me Home Country Roads is phenomenal but you might also want to check out Dreamer, When A Man Loves A Woman, End Of The Road, One Man Band, American Pie featuring Don McLean, I Swear, Blue Ain't Your Color, Dive Bar Saints, The Driver, Crazy and Folsom Prison Blues. For some funny ones: Butts Medley, All About That Bass, Champagne Taste, Hillbilly Bone and Ray Stevens' Mississippi Squirrel Revival. For some serious ones: Don't Laugh At Me, Go Rest High On That Mountain. When you are familiar with all the boys and their vocal roles, do Mayday. And last but not least, Brothers In Arms. It is haunting and beautiful. They have recently released several new songs that you will want to check out. Unchained Melody, Listen to the Music, Brother and Stargazer Lilies trilogy: Give Me A Sign, Stargazer Lilies and Mr. ...Their latest releases are Might As Well Be Me, Playing With Fire, Remember My Name, Oh, Pretty Woman, Cruise, Stand By Me, Colder Weather and Life is a Highway. To switch it up..try Two Country Singers try singing Opera. Adam Chance just wrote the theme song to Ubisoft's new Pirate themed video game, Skull and Bones and Home Free performs it. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole!

[@justann1358]

Came for Home Free! Subbed because of your genuine reaction! Welcome to the rabbit hole 🐇 🕳️ *whispers: “Fries… we got another one” 😉

[@hdrider2113]

Wonderful reaction, welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole, new subscriber here. They are so good and funny down to earth friendly guys. There are lots off live videos on you tube I’m sure other home fries have shared links can’t wait to hear more Home Free Reactions.

[@kathygeorge15]

Thank you I love this 🙏 I’ll be following this amazing group…… Goosebumps galore

[@joylambert121]

These guys are the best, keep digging and watch more. They do not disappoint ❤

[@jolaynecooper5254]

Great reaction! New subscriber here! Home Free is the best acapella group in my opinion. Some of my favorites are "Brothers in Arms," "Man of Constant Sorrow," "Do You Hear What I Hear," "Skull and Bones," "Blue Ain't Your Color," "Everybody Walking This Land," and so many more. They do serious songs as well as comedic ones. You have just entered the rabbit hole of Home Free, soon to be a "Home Fry."

[@dianeritthaler7792]

Their arrangements are AMAZING ❤
