Bastien looked like he was having the time of his life! I look forward to hearing more! Thanks for sharing

[@peggygross7409]

Thanks for sharing. The energy Bastien brings is good.

[@mandysmith1756]

Thanks for sharing despite the issues with the sound. Great to see Bastien bringing a lot of energy to the Home Free party.

[@ms.chuckfu1088]

Thanks. Seems like there was enough enthusiasm from the first couple rows to make it a good start for them.

[@lynnramsay8821]

Wow Bastien got a lot of fun energy looks like they had a blast 😊😊😊

[@angelamason9840]

Yes, Basten has very fun energy. Check out 7th Avenue footloose. He was in a band with Chris and Tristan Rupp!

[@marieghope]

Thank you for posting this. It’s all about the energy and synergy and it’s surely all there! I am more eager than ever to see them live myself - Oct.

[@kathypeck326]

Thank you for posting the video. It's great to see how smoothly Bastien moved into Home Free. ❤🏠🍟🤠

[@angelamason9840]

Thank you so much for posting. Basten has been in my playlist with Home Free for 3 years because he was in 7th Avenue with the Rupp siblings. I am so excited.

[@user-eo8sm7dh6d]

Great job, Bastien! Thanks, Kimberly.

[@roberthudson1959]

If Brown has already left the group, I feel sorry for any fans who bought tickets to one of the fall shows because they wanted to see him one last time.

[@kimberly4134]

Me too.

[@spfisterer3651]

would've liked to see the old formation one last time, too but I had heard that Bastien would take over in July so for me it's just 2 shows earlier...and honestly.. can't stop change or time and I think we are very lucky that we have many amazing old songs to listen to and probably a lot of great ones that are still coming.

[@bunnyhollingsworth5954]

I think Home Free made a good choice in Basti

[@pastelcarnations]

Way to go Adam B. Ya did great !!

[@lisaseverance6785]

I am so excited for Bastien! He looks like he is having a blast

Thanks for the sneak peak.

[@bunnyhollingsworth5954]

Ooops, got away from me. I think Home Free made a good choice in Bastien. He’s not Austin but he has his own style which is great and fits right in with the r3st of the guys.❤️🐇

[@kimberly4134]

He definitely came out and just showed his style and energy! It was great to see!

[@ep02105]

What? Austin was the star of home free this whole time how about supporting austin with his difficult decision to leave home free and to start his own brilliant career

[@bunnyhollingsworth5954]

@@ep02105 I do support Austin 100%. He chose to leave Home Free and had to be replaced. I wish Austin nothing but the best.❤️🐇

[@carinalindberg7377]

​@ep02105 And how would NOT supporting Bastien support Austin? I agree that Austin was the one who brought the stardom to the band, but he rubbed off, and Bastien had got heaps of it too. Supporting Bastien is an honour to Austin because it means that he's now free to do his stuff, abs it was his own choice to leave so why should anyone NOT continue to support Home Free. They are five guys, they never were only Austin. I'm saying this as HUGE Austin fan, as well as a superfan. Austin himself has said that he adores Bastien as a person and as an artist. Bastien will be perfect. He's not Austin, but that she's in no way mean he's not a good match for the band. Again, the only reason Bastien is avec in the band now på because Austin chose, all on his own, to leave.

[@ep02105]

@@carinalindberg7377 I do support Adam but I don’t think he was the correct replacement because austin could have stayed much more longer but I truly do support austin the most Adam was just a original member okay so don’t go thinking he’s perfect and has the best voice

[@Johntheherbalifeguy]

My wife and I are going to see them in Lake Tahoe on October 19th at Harrahs. We have front row tickets. I'm really looking forward to it!

[@rodconner9079]

Thanks for sharing Kimberly!!!! Sure do appreciate!!! Be Safe

[@carold.8782]

Sound quality is so fuzzy I can't tell anything about Bastien's singing. :(

[@kimberly4134]

The sound quality at the venue wasn’t the best… especially up close to the stage. Hopefully, others might have a better vid, but I wanted to share anyways. 😊

[@glendatarrant4830]

Thanks for sharing! I've been looking for something since last night.

[@nancyholter5646]

A true test for Bastien - and he seems to have passed with flying colors.

[@bethhowton2719]

Thanks

[@SBQDawn]

OK who gave the whole Pot of Coffee to Tim ???

[@tygerbrite]

Very well shot! Fantastic video. These guys work so hard. Thank God they're having fun. Agree with all the comments about Bastien. Do we now call the high tenor Bass?

[@nightthornkvala94132]

I hear the three Adams are going strictly by last names now; Rupp, Chance, Bastien. I think that'll work.

[@tygerbrite]

@@nightthornkvala94132 I just looked it up: A molecule with three atoms is called a triatomic molecule.

[@lynnjulian5491]

If they had announced Austin's last show, it would have been chaos. I think they did the right thing. Austin and Ambely posted from their home and while they didn't actually say it, it was pretty obvious that Austin was done.

[@teresacartwright5406]

The audio in an open-air venue is never gonna be optimal but I really enjoyed seeing them sing one of my favourites with their newest member. Not to detract anything from Adam Bastien - it's just that Austin's leaving is still so fresh. The newest Adam is a great addition to the band.

[@undead.rising]

He looks younger than I thought. When I looked him up initially after they just announced his inclusion - I thought (from a series of bad photos etc) that they had just added an old man into the group.

[@danielmadsen3407]

Wow, thank you for sharing! I see they're ending w this song again. A couple of months ago, they did this song to end the first set. I wonder how much the set has changed. Did they do "Listen to the music"?

[@kimberly4134]

They did this song second to last for this venue and they didn’t do a full set bc of the nature of how this music festival worked. So, unfortunately they didn’t do Listen to the Music.

[@danielmadsen3407]

@kimberly4134 Oh, that's right, I forgot it was the music festival 🤦‍♂️😅

[@carynjohnson525]

Bastien seems to fit in personality/energy wise. Sound wasn't good so couldn't really hear them sing. I like Tim and Chance's bit of Tim saying your too low go up higher

[@johndough6813]

Audio was really bad. Best of luck to you all.

[@kimberly4134]

Yeah, the audio at this venue wasn’t very good.

[@graniepanies63]

Wonder if Bastien’s husband will join as well?

[@donnamahler1494]

No sound other than the crowd cheering 😢

[@denisemares1177]

Sorry guys but NO ONE, NO ONE, NO ONE, can replace Austin.

[@judithL3100]

And certainly not this guy. I mean, did anyone else actually listen to the Opry broadcast??? 🫨

[@sallyread7032]

Austin who????? Adam 3 is great!!!!

[@sarahc2401]

That's just rude

[@sallyread7032]

Like I said before, us home fries survived when Chris left & he is co-founder of HF. HF will be just as great with Adam 3.

[@sarahc2401]

@@sallyread7032 that doesn't bother me just the fact you said Austin who i mean I didn't see comments like that about Chris anywhere. Of course I became a fan right around the time Chris left so idk 🤷‍♀
