HOME FREE "House Party" // Audio Engineer & Musician Reacts

[@babyfry4775]

It’s a fun one. Yes a video with both Chris and Chance. Ninja was right, Austin’s girl was Oleana - his girlfriend before Amberly. She broke up with him and he wrote music about it. Love Me Like That is about that and is really good. Then he wrote Give Me a Sign (part of the Stargazer Lilies trilogy) he wrote (asking to find his wife) when he found Amberly. They are married now. They have onesies in other videos especially done during the pandemic. Cute stuff. Now for a sweet one with Chance singing lead is Yours. 😍🥰

[@candleburner2006]

There's a Christmas vid that they've done - and I can't remember the song - but it's a Christmas party at either Chris or Adam Rupp's house and it's all their families gathered together. It's so cute and the 6 of them singing in such perfect harmony is sick!!! There's a funny part too between Chance & Chris but sweet at the same time

[@vinnieblair8576]

Chance was a longtime friend in the Acapella circuit. He was on the Sing Off in the group Streetcorner Symphony. He went on tour with them just in the background learning the gig, while Chris was won stage. He was also a good friend of Tim's wife Jenika before he met Tim. Long friendships. Old ties!

[@itzel1735]

Adam said he has occasionally used Foley for some sounds in the recordings. Specifically, the shotgun clicks in “Folsom” are from his 12 gauge. Why not reach out and see if you can have a chat with Adam? I’d love to hear you guys geek out over tech stuff and concert set up. He did a nice interview during the EU tour.

[@angelamiller6275]

Wouldn't you just LOVE to join them for one of their parties???❤

[@rllangevin3841]

Another great upgrade by #HomeFree! You may recognize Chance in the same hotel bathrobe in Can't Stop the Feeling. Check out Chance in Some Girls Do or Hillbilly Bone for his humorous side. Home Free never disappoints!

[@brendasorenson6186]

I am so glad I didn't have to clean up after this video shoot! 😂😂😂 I think that some or all of the members of Street Corner Symphony were part of the party. (The a capella group Chance was a member of pre-HF.)

[@candaceh1943]

I haven't watched this one in a long time, but it's so fun. Loved that Chris and Chance are both in it. And, yes, that was Austin's previous girlfriend, Olena, in this one. She is in a fair amount of their older videos. Thanks for the reaction!

[@terimingle8957]

This before Chance joined the group but they were friends and asked him if he wanted to be in the video!

[@IAmGigi247]

Your reactions were SPOT ON! LOL This is really our introduction to Chance prior to him coming onboard with the group. He was in it enough that when I first saw it, I had to do my research to see who he was! There are so many older songs you've not touched yet! I love the idea of you guys hanging out with them. They are every bit as personable in person as you might think! Like I've said before, Tim has a sneaky goofy side! lol All the blessings! ❤

[@rebeccarose7405]

What fun! I hadn’t seen this one. There are so many premieres today, but I’m watching y’all first! New Home Free and new VoicePlay too! ❤️🎶

[@angwatts]

The bass in the breakdown will rock your speakers. 😂 I play this one in the car and it bumps.

[@dianadickerson749]

When Tim tells the audience that this is not a "concert" but a PARTY, they should break into this song. Cause we are in a "house" right?

[@bettycouch1782]

Love you two doing this together. I look forward to your Home Free Fridays. If you want to see Chance being really goofy, react to their cover of "Workin For A Livin". You'll also see Adam do a nomonica solo!!! Can't wait till next Friday, take care!!!

[@lindaslater7782]

Two things 😊 : Adam does the record scratch sound (check out one of his drum solo videos) and if you watch the video "What Child Is This", you'll see all 6 of them singing (one of the few times you hear Chris and Chance along with Austin, Rob, & Tim). I'm a subscriber, and i love watching the two of you! You seem to have so much fun!

[@musikbyjh]

Thanks, Linda!! We definitely DO have so much fun!! We are so happy you are here! ✌🏽

[@danivansuperstar]

I recently revisited this song by them. I hadn't listened to it in a while, and I forgot how much fun it is. And Tim and Austin in the onesie pajamas cracks me up every time :) Great reaction, guys!

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Chance was still with Street Corner Symphony. I think the others were there but I don't know them enough to ID them. (I love their video for Madness) Chance and Tim's wife Jenika were friends before they even met Tim. This is one of four Home Free videos where you see both Chris and Chance. 2) What Child is This by Chris Rupp feat. Home Free. 3) In It Looks Good Chris is dancing and chatting in the background. Look for the cowboy hat on the right when the guys are at the pool table. 4) For White Christmas a bunch of friends and family gather for Christmas dinner, including Beugs and Chris.

[@itzel1735]

Starting Friday with a party ! Are you going to go to Tim’s weekend bash August 2024?

[@teresacartwright5406]

The woman with Austin was his long-time g/f (about whom he later wrote "Love Me Like That", "Lonely Girls World" & "If I Met You Now"). The latter one is on his channel and the live versions of the first one are heart-breaking. This is such a fun video and, of course, the singing, harmonies & beatboxing are terrific. It's one of the few in which Chance & Chris Rupp both appear.

[@pennygarrity386]

This is one of my favorite covers and videos by Home Free.

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

I had forgotten that Chris and Chance were both at this party! They were all having so much fun that it was hard to pay attention to the amazing vocal arrangement. Thanks for yet another fun Fryday!

[@momD612]

Chance is also in a Christmas video before he officially replaced Chris. I think it's "I'll be home for Christmas" or maybe it's "white Christmas"? 🤔

[@denise_landry]

EVERYone wants to hang out with the guys! 🤣🍟

[@cynthiamiller483]

Always so much fun! Lots of good harmonies! Thanks, Jeremy & Jillian, for bringing some joy in my day. And thanks, Gigi, for requesting this song.

[@NerdvanaReactions]

Hey y'all, wanted to say thanks again for the lovely email and the support. Livestream went well, and I did link y'all in the description on the off chance anyone who ended up there didn't already watch you!

[@dagmar.6954]

Another fun song by the guys. Love all their crazy costumes. Adam is wearing a Batman suit. What a mess they must have made with all the feathers from the pillow fights. This one shows Chance in the background before he joined.

[@karenc1564]

wait all week for Double J Friday!! love you guys

[@sharonmortimer3843]

Yes, Jillian it was Austin's ex-girlfriend Oleana. Rob is absolutely a funny. Yes, Chance knew Tim's wife Jenika before either one of them met Tim. This is a really fun video to watch. Always enjoy watching your reactions to these guys.

[@dianneantos480]

Love having Jillian with you often!

[@nancyholter5646]

This was released in Sept 2015, well before Chance joined. It's possible that when HF auditioned for the Sing Off the third season that they met Chance because SCS was on the show that year. But Tim has said that HF was hearing reports about a "second Tim" who played the same sort of pranks, drank like Tim (used to) and sounded a lot like him before they actually met. An apocryphal story, maybe, but...And Tim also saidthat Chance was friends with Jenika before Tim was introduced to her.

[@carolburnett190]

It’s always fun when another a cappella group member shows up in Home Free’s videos. I think Chance wears that same robe in another video. From what the guys say, all of the a cappella musicians know each other and will help each other out. Chance does have some very goofy moments but they’re often more understated than the other guys. You’ll see more of that in their Christmas videos, particularly in Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. Thanks, Jeremy and Jillian!

[@patriciavernon9795]

Chance wore that robe in Can’t Stop The Feelin’ 😀

[@kristindunstan172]

Chance wasn't actually a member of Home Free when they did this video, but they knew him and he was part of the "crowd scene" even though I don't think he actually sang in it.

[@kristindunstan172]

@@patriciavernon9795 , definitely some goofiness in that one, too. 🙂

[@lrfcowper]

Chance and Jenika -- Tim's now wife -- were good friends before they each independently met Tim. Chance was part of Street Corner Symphony which was based in Nashville. I understand one of the party locations was Chance's place in Nashville. This was the year before Chris left the group, so Chance wasn't a part of Home Free yet. He was just part of the Nashville a capella scene and friend of the guys. Austin's former girlfriend, Olena, was Home Free's stylist, which is why she shows up in videos a lot.

[@PaulaThompson-x9w]

You can watch their Home Away from Home and At Home videos to learn more about the guys. They are great. Thanks for the Home Free reactions.

[@glendamcgrady1244]

Always fun; always harmonious.

Happy Home Fry Day!!! I absolutely love this cover. Off to zap soon...#23, P.S. New Patreon member 4 you!! ❤❤❤

[@ghstdnsr]

There is a couple songs with both Chris and Chance, I think What Child Is This is another. Adam was doing the scratching sounds for sure, he goes crazy in Life Is A Highway.

[@Tessie46255]

Love this video! Enjoyed your reaction! ❤❤❤

Home Frydays with you 2 are everything in life! ❤ *I have a 22 yr old (special needs) son that looooves HF & also obsessed with y'all! 😅 I'm raising him right! 😘🤗🤗🥰 he reminds me every week of your Frydays, as if I'm not aware.. 🙃😉

Awwwww I love hearing that!! So glad you enjoy hangin’ with us! If you wouldn’t mind sharing your son’s name (and your’s), we’d love to give him a shout out on a video! Help put a smile on his face. Much love! 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽

[@momD612]

@musikbyjh O.M.G.!!!! He would loooooove that!!! He's watched the "Thank God I'm a country boy" that i requested a while back when you named me & he got such a kick out of it! He wants to send in his own request & we'll do it soon. His name is Conner. Although he calls himself "Mr. Handsome". (Perhaps because he's been called that his whole life!? 🤔) 🤣🤣🤭🥰🥰🥰 THANK Y'ALL SO VERY MUCH ❤️❤️ oh, & I'm Dawn. 🤗

[@momD612]

@musikbyjh you're too sweet! 🥰 He's been wanting "o holy night" or "Grandma got run over by a reindeer". I haven't sent in a request yet because I was waiting to get closer to Christmas, but we're close enough! Right? 😉 Lol. **he's a big 💣Tim Foust 💣 fan too. He says Tim reminds him of Elvis. 😅 he's a hoot! 🤪

[@musikbyjh]

@@momD612def close enough. But don’t worry. This one is a Christmas present on me, for Connor. 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽 Although I did Grandma Got Ran Over for Christmas in July, but O’ Holy Night is one we haven’t done yet. So, I’ll have Ninja add it to the list. ☺️

[@roniboyd613]

Y'all just have to hang out with Home Free!!! I really think you should contact them and arrange something 😊

[@patriciavernon9795]

SO MUCH FUN! Thanks for reacting to this one, just ❤ you two!

[@minneyruth]

[@kevinboothe9991]

The lady in the video is Amberly who is married to Austin now. Hi Ninja, you're becoming a friday regular, awesome! Rod said it took him hours to get the feathers out of his beard

[@brendasorenson6186]

This is Oleana, Austin's former girlfriend.

[@beadwright]

This isnt Amberly. This was Oleanna (sp?) the groups stylist and Austin's former GF

I stand corrected but she sure looks like Amberly

[@patriciamcl54]

[@miamidolphinsfan]

I know Tim lived in Los Angeles for a couple of years and Chance & his wife have lived in LA for a number of years....so they may have met in LA even before the Sing-Off TV show ?? Just a guess???

[@justkaron]

Chance and Sami have only been married since May of 2022.

[@brendasorenson6186]

I believe Jenika knew Chance pre-Tim.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

@@brendasorenson6186 I've heard that too

[@miamidolphinsfan]

@@justkaron so what did I say that was wrong ? Have they not shared an apt before they got married & bought their home?????

[@justkaron]

​@@miamidolphinsfan You didn't say anything wrong! LOL ...I wasn't even thinking about when Tim and Chance might first have met.. and probably went off on a tangent. I was zoning in on when Chance and Sami started dating and their story line. I thought I saw a short video with Chance and Sami where he said he picked March 17 to ask her to marry him because they had chosen that date a couple of years prior for when they became a couple.. I could be 'disremembering.' Happens all the time. Ultimately it doesn't matter to me. I know I'm kinda too obsessed with Home Free guys. All of the a capella community seem to have interacted and known of or known about one another for a LONG time. I do believe that in 2011 or 2012 ....maybe even earlier...Tim was out in LA trying his hand at being a country singer and writing and developing his 'Best That I Could Do' country album. I LOVE that album, by the way, and I think Home Free have used two, maybe three of the songs from it. Not sure how many. Heck...there's a ton of this stuff I'm not sure of. 😂😂 Don't know any details about when Street Corner Symphony started up.

[@darlaharrelson6487]

Sam Hunt is a pop country singer. I loved this video. Thanks y’all.

[@bidwell13]

5:09 if you haven’t checked out their “Butts Remix” you’ll see Adam sound like a turntable.

[@pastelcarnations]

If i remember correctly this was filmed at Chance's house., i know they have a couple of video with Chance and Chris both in them, but theydid do what child is this together, i really wish they had done more with all 6 of them, they all sound so good together

[@elvwood]

My wife knows me well enough that she would never throw me a surprise party (I struggle with social situations and need to prepare myself), but that's just me! I'm very happy watching it on video! 🤣

[@darlaharrelson6487]

Such a cute video. Thanks y’all. 😊

[@pastelcarnations]

If I'm not mistaken, this was at Chance's house

[@richb313]

Chris actually chose his replacement so Chance being in the video might not be accidental.

[@brendasorenson6186]

Chris has stated in an interview that he was not part of the process of selecting Chance as his replacement.
