There's no such thing as a "little" Home Free rabbit hole. Strap in!

[@carolyntaylor7]

In case you haven’t noticed, Home Fries flock to channels of people who review their favorite group! Get your hip waders out, the flood is coming! 😅

[@timworks991]

Yes, welcome to Home Free, all acapella, no instruments at all. 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. 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. 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.

[@ShyAnn291]

If there are instruments you see them.

[@RussellJones-e9c]

Welcome to another stellar acappella group, gentlemen. For your delectation I'd recommend "In the Blood", "Colder Weather", and "How Great Thou Art", which reduced me, a reformed agnostic, to tears.

[@sythompson9331]

Helplessly Hoping is pure 5 part harmony

[@williemcd]

My cheat sheet that I like to share with those new to HF....I'll be subbing to follow your journey down this rabbit hole. I appropriated this summary from another comment. The group started in 2001 by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp They won The Sing Off season 4 2013 that's where they became very popular. They are the only country A Capella ( all vocals no instruments)group but they are honestly do so so much more than just country music they can sing any genre and they do. There is no Lead singer in the group. They each ( except Adam )sing the song and who’s ever voice or voices sound right for the song gets the lead unless is a bass/ baritone song then that’s Tim or Chance. A lot of time they each have a part in the song. Fans of Home Free are known as Home Fries and are very loyal to the guys. Adam Rupp: Beatboxer Extraordinaire ( 41) can make any sound imaginable (A whole drum kit, harmonica (his Nomonica we call it )plane flyovers, trains, castanets, bugs ,birds etc).Co founder from Mankato Minnesota. Rob Lundquist :Lead tenor(beard and glasses) ( 40 )very soulful voice and master whistler from Minneapolis, Minnesota Tim Foust :Bass (had long dark hair now short with grey ) ( 42 ) 5+ octave range can go so low he blows speakers or sky high from Nederland, Texas Austin Brown: High Tenor ( Long wavy hair )( 37 ) voice of an angel from Tifton Georgia. Adam Chance(Aka Chance):Baritone/Bass ( 39 ) deep, rich voice(Does the juice harp sound in Man Of Constant Sorrow) has short dark hair short beard from Baldwin County, Alabama. Replaced Chris Rupp ( Adams Brother and co founder in 2016) They have collaborated with many singers and legends Don McLean: American Pie Oak Ridge Boys: Elvira Kenny Rodgers: Children Go Where I Send Thee (Please watch the end message) Billy Gilman: One Voice Alabama: Christmas In Dixie Mark Wills: Don’t Laugh At Me ( important message at the end ) Lee Greenwood & US Airforce Band: God Bless The USA Any many more. They have 3 amazing songwriters in the group Tim, Austin and Chance So they have a very large playlist of covers and original songs End of the Road (Boyz 2 Men cover ) When A Loves A Woman Helplessly Hoping (5 part harmony masterpiece ) Unchained Melody Butts Medley/ Remix Listen To The Music Can’t Outrun You Brothers In Arms Stargazer Trilogy( All Originals written by Austin) Give Me A Sign ( Chapter 1) Stargazer Lilies( Chapter 2) MR (Chapter 3) Skull And Bones ( original written by Chance for Ubisoft new video game Skull And Bones) Might As Well Be Me ( Original) Playing With Fire ( Original) Remember My Name (Original) Oh Pretty Woman Life Is A Highway Stand By Me Cruise I Want Crazy Christmas In LA ( Newest Release Mayday(DON’T WATCH TILL YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE GROUP AND THEIR RANGES ) There's not a song that you pick from their 200+ catalog that is bad I haven't found one yet. They are just funny, down to earth, humble really nice guys. They are the best A Cappella group there is IMO Sorry for the long read

[@JoanN63]

Home Free is incredible. Everything they do is great. And although they are a Country A-cappela group, they can really sing all genres. They really all have great voices with their own specialties. Even Adam Rupp who started the group with his brother Chris Rupp. Chris left the group in 2016 to go solo but also to start other projects with his sister, among others. Adam Rupp-Beatboxer but is actually an inhuman freaking good mouth artist. (Hear the incredible no-monica) Tim Foust- Deep bass but also as a tenor and everything in between is possible. Austin Brown-High tenor with his great runs and high notes. (leaves in the Fall Home Free😢, and is then replaced by Tenor Adam Bell-Bastien👍🏽) Rob Lundquist (beard and glasses)-Tenor, with a voice like velvet and so much soul. Adam Chance (back left, who is called Chance) - Baritone/ Bass, a voice so smooth and sexy. And who here also makes the Jaw harp sound. There is no permanent lead singer in Home Free. They look at every song whose voice suits it best, the best harmony, no egos, no rivalries, great personalities etc. Besides, they can all beatbox (see their live performance 9to5). .. This is one of the many covers they do in addition to various originals, and each one is just amazing. Take the time to discover Home Free because it will be a great tour. For me they are number 1 A-Cappella group

[@susanengland3919]

and now they've got ANOTHER Adam to replace Austin Brown, a singer named Adam Bell-Bastien.

[@JoanN63]

@@susanengland3919 Yes, I put that behind Austin Brown that he is being replaced.😉

[@SarahAden-zb3np]

Home Free is my favorite group. Austin's high tenor is great and Rob is great to. Adam's beatboxing is great. I love Tim's low bass voice. Chance is the one who is doing the mouth harp. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@performanceinitiative]

Mouth harp! That’s what it is. Thank you!

[@kmwwrench]

I see those Home Free smiles. 5 extremely talented guys. Their catalog is very deep and varied. Everything from country to pop to rock to R&B to sacred - even a little opera from the tenors. Adam Rupp, the percussionist is fabulous. I'm always surprised when reactors go to this song first because, as great as it is, it isn't even in my top ten from them. I recommend Helplessly Hoping, Stand By Me or their original Playing With Fire next - but you really can't go wrong with anything they've done. Enjoy the ride!

[@WarriorforTruth429]

I been following this group for years..we are called Homefries ...the deep vocal is a guy lived about 15 minutes from me..(Tim Foust) you need to check out Brother in Arms and Skull and Bones

[@occamsrazor5376]

Thank you for the recommendation. I love Home Free but have only seen a few of their videos so far!

[@denise_landry]

You must be in my neck of the woods then. 😆

[@janhankins911]

Home Free is fantastic. While they do a lot of country covers, they can and do) cover other genres as well. I recommend "End of the Road" (cover of the Boyz II Men) song, the "Sea Shanty Medley" (where Adam, their beat boxer, "plays" the castanets), "How Great Thou Art" (an old Christian hymn; filmed in the Austrian Alps--scenery and music breathtaking; you don't have to be a Christian or religious to enjoy and appreciate this) and Rob's and Austin's (the two tenors) cover of "Nessun Dorma" (from Puccini's "Turandot"; even confirmed "opera haters" like this cover). So they sing everything from country, to pop, to sea shanties, to hymns, to opera. And they're fabulous at all of it. At Christmas, their cover of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" is a must. I have a box of tissues at hand every time I watch it; still cry every time I see it.

[@timhuffmaster3588]

The instrument that you first hear is called a “juice harp”. It’s recreated by using the tongue against the teeth and moving most of the resonance to the front of the mouth. The “beatboxer” describes finding the “harmonica” sound by starting with the voice of Cartman, from South Park, and using his hand pressure to manipulate the resonant space within the mouth. They’re a very cool a’capella group. Enjoy the rabbit hole. 😉

[@PaulaThompson-x9w]

Just subscribed with hopes for more Home Free reactions. They are the best! They do a huge variety of music and each have a very impressive vocal range. They will make you dance, cry and fall out of your seat laughing. They have great personalities and sense of humor and are genuinely good people.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Yes...this is a cover of the song from the Movie, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" 😀I'm glad you've picked up on Home Free. You could settle into their channel list and not get out for years, if you listened to every single one they've ever posted here. Enjoy! As for the harmonica...that's Adam Rupp (beatboxer), and we all call it a "no-monica. 😀

[@wendyunrau9855]

There is so so much that is great about this group! Please continue to check out this very versatile group! R&B, gospel, classic rock & just fun songs that will make you smile! Welcome to the world of Home Free!

You both will be amazed at what you uncover from this group, amazing, saw them in England last year, not to be missed…

[@Gillie51-bl8su]

Great reaction, it was clear how much you were enjoying the song. Not my preferred style of music, but I can't deny the excellence of their performance. Watching these reaction videos, I have belatedly discovered that I have a thing for deep bass voices.... 😊 Still prefer PTX, though.

[@levithei]

Imagine by Pentatonix, Ring of Fire by Home Free, Elvira by Home Free, Mayday by Home Free, and also tons of options from Voiceplay, another accapella group are all good selections!

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

Yes this is a rabbit hole you want to go down. All 4 acapella groups you want to go down there rabbit hole. There's also Pentatonix All 4 acapella groups you want to go down there rabbit hole. There's also Pentatonix please react to voice play and the bass gang. Pentatonix 1 the sing off the 3rd season And in 2011 and home free won it follow the following season in 2013. Voice play as best as I remember took 4th place the season that home free won. The instrument you were referring to is called a Jewish harp. It has other names but that's the 1 that really sticks with me. Home free has a wicked sense of humor. They have no problem making fun of themselves and being silly As well As performances that you just Reacted to. Yes Is in O. brother where art thou. There is a video titled 2 country singers try to sing opera. It is Austin brown who was the main singer in this video and rob lundquist with the beard and the mustache. They are singing nessum dorma. There is truly nothing that home free can't do With the exception of a bad song.

[@randyhawley7202]

The 'group' that did this song in 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' were called 'The Soggy Bottom Boys'. This version is leaps and bounds better than that one ! Adam 'plays' the 'Nomonica', because there is no harmonica (LOL). Please check out their covers of 'In the Blood', 'Brothers in Arms' and 'Helplessly Hoping'. And for a bit of fun, try their 'The Butts Remix'. Enjoy !

[@mikelaney3026]

These guys are just wonderful, thank you for the reaction

[@rcinsley]

You did, indeed, remember MOCS from the 2000 movie "O Brother Where Art Thou," but Home Free didn't exist until 2001. The song was written and published in 1913, but not recorded until 1928 (i.e., after the development of the recording equipment that made mass distribution of music possible!)

[@patriciab8876]

Though published in 1913 by Dick Burnett, who did not compose it, this song is an old American Folk Song. It was old when published - he just put it to paper - which then enabled him to earn from its use. Prior to that it was learned "by ear" having originated in & around Kentucky, Tennessee and thereabouts.

[@rcinsley]

@@patriciab8876 I read that someone interviewed Dick Burnett later in life and asked him whether he was the original author. He said he couldn't remember...maybe yes, maybe no. So absent any other hard evidence, "traditional American folk song" is as close as we'll get. The first known recording of the song was the May 1928 release by Emry Arthur - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2qUenWZm9Fmf8U

[@patriciab8876]

@@rcinsley Of course he wouldn't admit that he had basically stolen the song! Why would he put his bread and butter in jeopardy? His word should not be the one deciding whether he had composed it. A thorough search of libraries and historical accounts, particularly those in Kentucky, Tennessee and thereabouts seeking to uncover evidence should be where the answer to that comes from. Not from the suspected perpetrator.

[@suecurtsinger60]

This group is wonderful. I never liked country music until I saw them with Peter Hollands. 5:01

[@danielleroberts8252]

Sincere reaction.

[@steby123]

It is called the nomonica !!!

[@bernieregnier4500]

Seriously if you are interested just search Home Free, find a song of a genre you like and you will not be disappointed. They won the Sing Off in 2013. This is a deep rabbit hole worth investigating. Not suggesting you react to every song. You will find they tailor the songs to the best voice of the group that matches . Examples: boys to men - End of the Road, Man of Constant Sorrow, Brothers in Arms, Hopelessly Hoping (Crossby Stills & Nash), Go Rest High on that Mountain, How Great Thou Art, American Pie ft. Don McLean, God Bless the U.S.A. (featuring Lee Greenwood and The United States Air Force Band), Original Home Free What's Left Of My Heart, Mary Did You Know, When a Man Loves a Woman, The Butts Remix, Listen To The Music and the list goes on...... Quite a few genres listed above to provide a cross section. They are not just Country, they do sing quite a bit of it, but these boys are gifted beyond country and tackle whatever they choose and do it with excellence, they do not do anything half assed. subscribed ❣

[@teresacartwright5406]

Caution: Home Free is highly addictive. There are no instruments - Adam Rupp (beatboxer) is incomparable. They're all vocal chameleons. The bass (Tim) has 5+ octaves, the baritone (Chance) has 4. There is no lead singer, whoever sounds best on a song, sings lead. Three of them are song writers - they sing (and write) in almost every genre from goofy to gospel, feel-good to opera ("Nessun Dorma"). Fall down the rabbit hole - it's a great trip!

[@donnilloyd1355]

This IS the song in the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou. And Home Free does NOT do the song. But they did make this video to copy/mimic it, only in A Capella. Nice Post.

[@nancyholter5646]

oh, the Home Free rabbit hole is anything but "little". Their official video list is at 188 videos and their latest - Vincent with Don McClean himself - hasn't been added, yet. Then there are the fan videos, the recordings on others' channels, and the solo and small group work the individual members have been putting out on their own channels. No single genre, no single lead singer, just fantastic music. Enjoy!!!

[@mjackson780]

The beat boxer is Adam Rupp. The guy doing the jaw harp sound was Adam Chance.

[@meemermarie1977]

You guys look around my age (im guessin)so maybe check out sime home free covers like “listen to the music”., or dire straights cover of “brothers in arms”.

[@dagmar.6954]

This song blew me away when I first heard it & I was completely hooked. These guys are all so talented. They lean towards country but they can do any genre. They all can take the lead depending on whos voice is best for the song. They are known for their tight harmonies. Tim Foust is one of the best bass singers out there (5 octave range) & their beatboxer vocal percussionist Adam Rupp can simulate any sound such as drums, harmonica etc. They are my favorite a cappella group. This song is very old (about 100 yrs.) & is done in the bluegrass country style. It was used in the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" starring George Clooney.

[@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: How Great Thou Art, 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!
