@according_to_Gerg Yes, VERY LOW. Castelucci, Avi and others have gotten together to see who is the LOWEST! They are all great but Mr Tim is lower. I heard him hit a 'G' note. Fun to listen though. Thanks.

Adam Rupp is singing that high tenor tone in the background

[@susanengland3919]

This is one of the few times you get to hear Adam Rupp's lovely tenor voice.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

Yeah it's definitely great

[@LynnRamsay]

This was filmed in the Austrian Alps. Home Free just released the first video with their new high tenor Adam Bastien called Something To Talk About. The snippet video was My Church

[@AceofBadeReacts]

That's cool. I did see they dropped a couple videos with him. I will check it out soon

[@timworks991]

The closest mountains to those in the states would be the Rockies out west. But these are the Austrian Alps.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure I've been to the Rocky Mountains like 20 something years ago

[@babyfry4775]

This was filmed in the Austrian Alps when they were touring there. One of my favorites…it’s so beautiful. Tim is the bass, Chance is the baritone, Rob is a tenor, Austin is the high tenor and Adam is a tenor. He sang the “it is well”. So beautifully done. They have other songs without beatboxing like Brothers in Arms, Helplessly Hoping and more. Those are exquisite too.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

It was so good

[@gk5891]

[@GailL-g7m]

Thank you for checking out Home Free. This rendition of a beloved old hymn has over 28.4 million views and is a favorite of many due to the beautiful harmonies as well as the scenery in the Austrian Alps. Home Free has a wide-ranging catalog of songs, although they are the first Country all-vocal band. The rich, full sound you hear throughout is all made by voices only-- no need for instruments. No beatboxing in this, but Adam Rupp is perhaps the best beatboxer ever and does a solo segment in each live show. Videos of some of these can be found on-line. You will be amazed. Anyone who doesn't do themselves the favor of checking into Home Free's large, varied catalog of videos is really missing out! Gail L.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

Very well put. Thank you

[@anitawright7169]

This is in my opinion the best version of this song I have ever heard. It was awesome to see Adam Rupp singing! Love your reactions!

[@RevSandi]

I love hearing Adam Rupp's beautiful high tenor in this one.

[@lindamorrison9755]

The song they showed a little clip is "My Church" Have never heard a song by Home Free that I didn't like. "Playing with Fire" is an Austin original and a super cool video too.

[@bernieregnier4500]

Home Free brings a worshipful respect to their gospel music that is very reverentful and exudes honor the song is intended for. They are very intentional in this regard and it is not about them. Everytime I hear them sing a gospel related song, I feel like I was just in church and am worshiping right along side them. ❣ Nice reaction! 💯

[@AceofBadeReacts]

How many gospel songs have they done?

[@bernieregnier4500]

@@AceofBadeReacts Note: I don't have the total number. They have collaborated with several artists on some and they have done some as only Home Free. For example they collaborated with Peter Hollins Amazing Grace Peter Hollens feat Home Free ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ-UZWhjf52YoMk ) , Kenny Rogers Go Where I Send Thee ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGiqg2CZbZKngas ) Some Christmas gospel songs like O Holy Night ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYCZgI1_jpKfj9k ) Home Free - Do You Hear What I Hear?

This hymn definitely makes me emotional--Home Free's version is my very favorite version of all the many, many I have heard 😍 Besides the unbelievable 5-part harmony--and gorgeous backdrop of the Austrian Alps--getting to hear Adam Rupp's sweet tenor actually singing is a real treat ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️ #HomeFree #AdamRuppSinging

[@annehffry3284]

Home Free added a couple lines from the hymn It is Well between the verses, and Adam Rupp, the beatbox, sang them.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

That's really cool that they mixed in hymns

[@carolyntaylor7]

Voices: 2 bases (Chance & Tim); 3 baritones (Tim, Chance & Rob), and 5 tenors! Yes, Tim has a fine tenor! Don’t try to put labels on them - their talents are limitless! 😊 ps: the others can also beatbox to some extent. 😅

[@AceofBadeReacts]

I don't think I've seen anybody else in the group beatbox. Is there a song were they do?

[@dagmar.6954]

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).

[@AceofBadeReacts]

Everything just worked so well for this video

[@michelleh8301]

Helplessly Hoping excellent harmonies by Home Free.

[@PatriciaFralick-w7t]

This song was filmed in the Austrian Alps while they were on tour between countries. Adam is not beat boxing in this song. He is also a tenor with a wonderful voice. I absolutely love this song . Their rendition is the absolute best. Their harmonies are everything.

[@pastelcarnations]

They filmed this is Austria. Did you hear Adam Rupp's beautiful tenor voice

[@AceofBadeReacts]

For sure. A rare performance

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Austrian Alps. They were on tour in Europe. The entire video was filmed by drone. There is no beatboxing, because in hymns, Adam sings. He has the largest vocal range in the group. As of 2024 (per The Range Place) Adam Rupp's Vocal Range is: B0 - G♯6 Tim's is close, at: B0 - A5 None of the rest of the guys come even close to being the longest-ranged singer in the group. Austin was also somewhat close (E♭1 - C6), but...Bastien is not (from the very limited info I have found at this time). I keep an updated chart on my own site, and it was just updated a few days ago, since Austin is now gone, and Adam Bastien is now the "alternate tenor." Unfortunately, he's not yet listed at The Range Place (or anywhere else I could find).

[@AceofBadeReacts]

I tried looking up The Range Place, but I only saw a couple of social links that haven't been updated in years. I'd be interested in seeing your information if you wanted to post a link (hopefully KZbin allows it)

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

​@@AceofBadeReacts There's no way that YT will allow it. Unfortunately as well, The Range Place itself is undergoing spurts of "Maintenance Mode, since about two weeks ago. I can't get their most current info to you. The numbers that I have for Tim, Adam Rupp, and Austin are all from 2022. When I was able to get to them a couple of months back (in 2024), there had been no changes made. That means that nobody has posted anything with which to update those threads. In 2019, Tim had been listed as being able to go as low as A0, but in 2022, that lower note had been changed upward a single tone, to B0, which then matched Adam Rupp's lowest note. As far as Adam's range is concerned, he actually can SING all of those notes, but much more often, he's hitting them in the noises he makes during one of his really fun "beatbox solos" that he does on tour, while the others in the group get a short break. For Bastien (which is what he has chosen as his identification within Home Free), the only CLEAR reference I have is the first Home Free "Official" video with him, which just came out recently: "Something to Talk About." There are the live videos that have been posted, during a recent tour, but they're just not as clear as the official video. There will be more videos upcoming, naturally, and as I hear what Bastien sings during THOSE songs, I'll be able to update my chart fairly easily. I wish I could at least let you know how to get to the chart, but YT will do its thing immediately, if I do (sigh). If you check out my YT profile, you can find the chart listed under my 5 MORE listing, under the banner.

@@janhankins911 Very cool. I'll add these to the list. Probably for Voctave since 2 of those sound like they are split, I would want to check out the entire group together if possible so it sounds like the Great Movie Medley would be a starting point. Just so I have a basic idea of who the group is

[@janhankins911]

@@AceofBadeReacts The Great Movie Medley is a great place to start with Voctave! You're right, but also wrong about them "splitting" for the Princess Medley and Heroes/Villains Medley. Each of these features a particular singer in Voctave doing a solo with the entire group (men and women) backing that soloist up. In the Princess Medley, the 5 women are soloists; in the Heroes/Villains Medley, the 6 men are soloists. Yep, Voctave has 11 members and they can do chords and harmonies other groups with fewer members can't do.
