They are true a capella no Instruments and they have been around for more than 20 years

[@rebeccawaid9323]

Welcome to Home Free! They are totally acapella. They won Sing Off the season after Pentatonix. Yes, they have one of the best beat boxers around...Adam Rupp (no, there wasn't a harmonica there). The bass, Tim, has a 5 octave range. The lead in this song was Austin. Check out any of their other stuff...it's all great. "How Great Thou Art"..."Mayday"..."End of the Road"...just a few suggestions.

[@Katie-mb8zj]

Rebecca Waid “Mayday” needs to wait a little more. That one is so different that it helps to know how they are normally a little more first.

Thank you so much for reacting to Home Free!! Us "fans" are known as Home Fries!!

[@roysquires287]

Tim's voice is one of the deepest recorded. I have asked about the octave that he has been recorded singing, and no one outside the professional group knows of the that level. He actually can make you doubt the stability of the foundation in the building you are residing. They are all amazing talents. They have a ton of music on KZbin.

[@derekmaddox7236]

Hi, Adelle! You've stumbled on another of my favorites. Completely a capella, completely great. Two that I would highly recommend (warning, tissues will be required) are "Go Rest High on That Mountain" and "How Great Thou Art". Visually stunning, vocally incredible, emotionally moving. By the way, this song shot to the top of the charts on the soundtrack of "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" with Dan Tyminski and his group. It's a bluegrass song, and most bluegrass songs have sort of a sad theme but uplifting music. Sort of the country music version of jazz or blues.

[@jimyoung1011]

One of the best reaction videos to this song. I loved how you tried resisting hitting the pause. First time I heard this rendition of this song gave me chills.

[@pennymaple1817]

Hi Gitana - fab first reaction! I love it when people first discover Home Free. They are a vocal band, and all the sounds they make are with their mouths. Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, is hugely talented - he does a 10 minute "drum" solo in each concert. You would honestly think he has a drum kit about his person! As others have said their bass, Tim Foust, has a 5 octave range. You will see him singing tenor as well as that deep, rumbling bass. Rob Lundquist, their tenor, has a sweet, soulful, but wonderfully versatile voice - he can sing just about any genre. Adam Chance is their baritone/bass. He has about a 4 octave range and can cover the bass when Tim takes the lead. Finally, their high tenor, Austin Brown has a smooth, but powerful voice and he is also really versatile. They are a fun group of guys who don't take themselves seriously and are truly amazed at their success. You can't go wrong with any of their music - just pop on those headphones and dive down the rabbit hole. You will have a great time as well as listening to awesome music!

[@eugenewillsey2135]

The Song "Man of Constant Sorrow" was part of the movie sound track of "O Brother Where Thou" With George Clooney. They called it old timey stuff in the movie.

Need to listen to their cover of Justin Timberlake, Can't Stop the Feeling. Absolutely perfect. I may be biased, but I think most of the covers are better than the originals. They put a country spin on most everything. Their harmonies are unmatched by anyone or acapella group. Keep them coming. Thanks.

Hi Gitana, I loved your reaction to the Bass singer it was priceless. No he was not playing a Harmonica, but he was making Harmonica sounds your mind was blown.

[@margfried8796]

Ok you asked for it so here is a bit of history on them. Yes, they are an acapella band which was formed in 2000 by the beatboxer Adam Rupp (back right) and his brother Chris when they were teenagers in Mankato, MN. .Chris left the group in 2016 to pursue other musical interests. So he is not in this video. Over the years members came and went. Rob Lundquist(tenor with the beard and glasses far left), another Minnesotan, joined in 2008. Texan Tim Foust ( jaw-dropping bass with the 5+ octave range far right) starting guest subbing with them 2010. He joined them full-time in January 2012. Later that same year they met Georgia native Austin Brown(high Tenor who sang lead on this. Front center) on a cruise ship where they were all working. Austin a self-described aca geek told them if they ever needed him just call. As it happened their tenor had a young family and decided to retire. They called Austin & he joined them full time in January of 2013. Up until this point, they did mostly pop songs but with the addition of Austin and Tim 2 southern boys, they started doing pop and country songs. The audiences seemed to love the country songs. So, when they decided to try out for the reality TV contest show, THE SING OFF. They decided to go in singing country. The producers loved it and Home Free ended up winning that season. In 2016 after Chris Rupp left the group he was replaced by Alabama native Adam Chance (baritone/bass- 4-octave range back left) formerly of Street Corner Symphony. My suggestions: Blue Ain’t your color, How Great Thou Art, Auld Lang Syne, Helplessly Hoping, My Church, In the Blood, I can’t outrun you, Love train, Down to the Honkytonk and Quarantine.

They are an a capella group. Every sound you hear is coming out of at least one of the member's mouth. The harmonica is Adam doing his thing without a physical instrument.

Every sound you hear on any of their songs is made from their voices. They are an amazing group. Some other great songs by them are “My Church”, “Ring of Fire”’, “Mom”, and “End of the Road”. Actually anything they sing is great. I suggest Ring of Fire next because it introduces you to Avi Kaplan. He was the original bass singer of a group named Pentatonix. They are another amazing acapella group that you definitely should hear. Take your time going through their music though both Pentatonix and Home Free because it’s a lot of mind blowing talent to take in. I’m a new subscriber by the way. Really enjoyed your reaction especially when Tim started singing lol he’s the guy with the really deep voice. He can also sing really high as well.

For something up tempo and fun check out "Can't Stop the Feeling", for something deep their cover of John Mayer's "In The Blood", for a laugh and a smile their cover of The O'Jays "Love Train" and their "Butts Remix". For another folk music classic, although rather more modern, their cover of John Denver's "Take Me Home Country Roads". Also their cover of "Ring of Fire" featuring Avi Kaplan formerly from Pentatonix, another fantastic a cappella group, check out their rendition of "Hallelujah" (good friends with Home Free). You really can't go wrong with anything Home Free creates. And they have a fan base which will find and love your channel.
