Home free- Mayday! Reaction! TIM HAS AN AFTERSHOCK BUDDY.

[@Twisted_Poppy]

If you want to hear more of Adam Chance (The Aftershock) then I recommend you reacting to their cover of "Helplessly Hoping" Such a beautiful song. No beatboxing in this one just their voices.

[@dianadickerson749]

Also listen to born in the USA, chance has greatvlead!

[@deniseriley6622]

" Helplessly Hoping " is hauntingly beautiful.

[@wendywallis2956]

If you're enjoying country....check out their cover of Hillbilly Bone!

[@brandyforsythe1882]

THIS is a must Matt!!! You'll be a country boy for sure after hearing that! 😉

[@denise_landry]

Thanks Matt! 🖤🍟

[@karinfichtner7479]

In reality, Home Free has 4 tenors, 2 basses, and 2 baritones. When Adam Rupp sings, he is a tenor. This song was written and recorded by a woman....and every one of the leads in this song sing it in HER key. Chance was a bass singer in the group he left to join HF.

[@jasonwalker8324]

They actually have 5 tenors, 3 baritones, 3 basses and 5 beat boxers. If u ever hear Rupp live, he can rattle ur chest with bass as well.

[@megancooper1710]

Their cover of Helplessly Hoping is an experience.

[@belinda9696]

Chance is their baritone /bass, he doesn't go as low as Tim, but does a lot of background bass and does the bass when Tim is lead singing or like in this video, they needed 3 tenors and he was singing tenor range, (because he can do that too) so Chance showed off some of his bass here. Chance does have a nice lead voice also. He leads in Sea Shanty Medley, Born In The USA, I Can't Outrun You, Castle On The Hill, Dive Bar Saints, I'm Yours, Some Girls Do, Cover Me Up etc. Take your pick if you want to hear him sing lead.

[@leftalone4264]

If you want to hear them all do a solo In one song? Try American Pie remake. They show off big time!

[@ghstdnsr]

To hear Chance take the lead try Down to the Honky Tonk and Cover me up

[@wyd3428]

“Brothers in Arms” and “Folsom Prison Blues” are two more that will give you some insight to their abilities….. and Chance (the quiet one) has more of a role in each.

[@judithboggs2196]

Surprise! This song always takes me by storm. Love it.

[@brendasorenson6186]

You had the perfect reaction Home Fries look for when reacting to Mayday! Mayday was sung originally by Cam, a soprano, who sings country music. Her video was an Amelia Earnhardt-type scenario. HF sang this song in the same key as Cam, hence the need for high tenors. One of my favorite HF songs. Good reaction!

[@pennygarrity386]

I LOVE watching reactors watch this video. The look on their faces when Tim sings in his falsetto is only matched by the shock when Chance hits that low note.

[@georgemegaw2925]

For Chance’s longer solos - try out Some Girls Do.

[@gardenlove6356]

Love your Home Free reaction videos. A newer video if theirs you should watch is Listen to the Music. It's a Doobie Brothers cover. SO GOOD.

[@rebeccagibbs8794]

Oh, sweetie! You ain't seen nothing yet, lol! HOME FREE IS THE BEST!!! Not just country. They can sing anything, and do!!! They have it all, and we're here for it, always!!! Tell us what YOU like, we Home Fries will guide you, lol! It's becoming difficult to recommend songs, because they're ALL great!!! EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

[@jdkennedy3102]

If you want to hear more of Chance, I would suggest their cover of the Crosby, Stills & Nash song “Helplessly Hoping” or their cover of the Dire Straits song “Brothers in Arms”. Both don’t use beat boxing. Brothers in Arms will blow you away. I think it really show their talents.

[@annebiebrich9155]

That is Chance, the baritone who also sings bass

[@deborahpalmisano912]

Check out One Man Band.

[@hazelcampbell2779]

Just subscribed for more Home Free

[@lanabuck802]

Wow I love your comment about Tim being the earthquake and Chance being the aftershock.

[@babyfry4775]

That’s why we like reactors to wait on Mayday as it’s the switcheroo. Tim singing up in the rafters and then Chance in the basement. Tim has a 5 octave range so he’s just showing you that range. Pretty remarkable. Chance was a bass in his first group but here is the baritone but will do bass when Tim sings high. Ok you know Tim. Rob (glasses) is a tenor. Austin (redhead) is the high tenor. Chance is the baritone and Adam is the beatboxer. If you want to hear more of Chance try Helplessly Hoping, I Can’t Outrun You, Yours. He has a great voice. Lots of bass in I Can’t Outrun You. Home Free can sing all genres of music not just country. Try Folsom Prison Blues, Blue Ain’t Your Color, Meant to Be to hear other jazz and pop. Good reaction Matt😃

[@patriciaboehringer5028]

I love your face when you realized it that was Tim singing that high voice now you need to go over to Tim Foust channel and check out his solo work. I would suggest you do his cover of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / stay that way you can hear all of his different ranges in one song

[@anitawright7169]

Home Free are the best! Love your reaction!

[@sherryarflin726]

In the Blood….

[@loribenton5975]

I second that. It's the song the clinched me as a fan of HF. I love any song where Chance gets to solo.

[@dagmar.6954]

This song is one of my favorites. We usually ask reactors to wait to react to this song till they are familiar with the individual members. Then they are surprised at hearing the switch ups in the voices. Tim who is known for his bass can sing in a beautiful higher tenor voice along with Austin & Rob. And Chance can hit the lower bass notes when needed. Adam did a fabulous job as always with his vocal percussion. The original song is sung by a woman Cam, so they sung it in a higher key to match the original range.

[@evelynsallie5703]

I love watching your Home Free reactions they are by far the best acapella group in my opinion. They can do any genre.

[@dagmar.6954]

I agree Home Free are the best but I think Matt prefers PTX as he has done over 3 times as much of their stuff. I am not a fan of either PTX or VP.

[@leslieoneal4464]

More like 10x as many. *sighs* It's why I unsubscribed, actually.

[@dagmar.6954]

@@leslieoneal4464 If you look at his playlist it shows the number of reactions. HF - 13, PTX & SF - 47, VP & Geoff - 18

[@writerinprogress]

This is probably one of my favourite Home Free covers. Tim and Chance show off their versatility, Austin and Rob show off their beautiful pure high tenor voices, and Adam absolutely kills it in the beatboxing! Even more impressive is that they're all singing this cover in the same key as the original, which is sung by a woman. Chance has a lovely voice, actually, and I'm glad he's getting more opportunities to do lead vocals now.

[@robinmahan8814]

Adam Chance shines in Cover me Up. It's outstanding!

[@HelenWheelsUtah]

Whoa. This song may transform me into a Home Fry. Excellent song. Loved your reaction, too.

[@ohseedee27]

Awesome reaction! They really show off their talent in this one. Please do Love Me Like That. It's an original and after your reaction here, I think you'll love it. Thanks, man.

Austin has a killer voice.

[@judydavis7993]

This is one of my favorites. I also love Blue ain’t your color. You should watch that one too. So good.

[@pamelabarrera5074]

I loved it. Gr8 reaction. Thx for sharing ♥

[@leftalone4264]

You said it perfectly. Tim is an earthquake. Chance was a bass singer before he joined Home Free. Adam may have hit the lowest recorded in the group per Tim. Now, when you consider the vocal ranges on these guys? They are insane!

[@Cat-fi4ie]

Love your reaction. Chance aka After shock lol , suggestions for him , Can't Out Run You, Cover Me Up, or his own channel Adam Chance featuring Hound and the Fox, Wayfaring Stranger. All AMAZING Songs with him singing lead

[@tj7264]

Next thing you know Austin will be dropping bass lines!! LOL!! They're all at a crazy lvl of talent!

[@terij268]

HF is remarkable!! One of the things with HF, PTX, Voiceplay and other acapella groups is that there is no covering of any mistakes. With the music that you hear from 90's till now, the instruments can take over the song. If you would like to hear just voices and no percussion, react to Helplessly Hoping and How Great Thou Art, Adam has his own since part singing. They are also appreciate USA. React to Everybody Walking This Land especially at the end when Tim has a message. I appreciate your reactions and your appreciation to when songs meant something good/ wholesome.

[@LaurieRein]

He is trying to break up with his girlfriend who won’t let him so he is calling Mayday - let me go.

[@graceparker7003]

From high to low = Austin Brown, Rob Lundquist, Adam Chance (Chance replaced Chris Rupp, yes Adam's brother), Tim Foust and the WORLD CLASS beatboxer is Adam Rupp. When Tim takes lead Chance takes on the bass. But seriously these guys are the best and I have followed them and seen them in concert 3 times since their win on The Sing Off in 2014/2015. The absolute best a Capella group around bar none.

[@joannlandrum6171]

You may want to watch/listen to Tim's "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay." It's from his Doo Wap album. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

[@JoanN63]

A song with surprises. Tim who goes tenor, Austin and Rob who also hit different notes than usual, the inhuman vocal percussion and as a great end to the surprises the incredible bass of Chance. Simply fabulous

[@karentrupp3746]

This is one of my favorites ❤

[@csscazzy]

Chance has a lovely voice., One video that shows more of Chance is Brother which is a really fun video and Chance starts off the singing.

[@karenc1564]

Tim, Austin and Chance all have their own channels with some amazing songs on them. Check out some of their solo stuff

[@thetoothlesscarnivore]

Been waiting for you to get Tim backhanded with this one. lol

[@judydavis7993]

Thanks for reacting to this wonderful group of guys. Their voices are so powerful and very inspiring. They can cheer me up any given time they sing. This is in my top five favorites of their songs 🎵. ✌❤

[@stanrock2225]

They have no equal because of their range and harmonies. Unreal

[@patberry9211]

[@tomoovehk]

Yes, Austin can restrain his voice and accent very well. To hear more of his softer but heartwrenching voice, listen to his cover of Tears in Heaven.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

And keep watching after the song is over. Austin has a very beautiful and moving message at the end. Something that can be said for many of the videos by Home Free and VoicePlay.

[@MyLorissa]

It is on his solo channel!

[@danafnn]

If you want to hear more of Adam Chance sing , listen to Home Free's covers of I Can't Outrun You or Cover Me Up.

[@DougRayPhillips]

Chance is the baritone / backup bass. Was the bass in his previous group. You heard him do a couple solos in Sea Shanty Medley, including the opening. He has solos in several of HF's other recent releases. Also, if you go back to Peter Hollens' channel, you'll find he has other collabs with Tim besides the one you've already heard, and one with Chance, one with Austin, and one with all of HF. Peter actually competed in the same season of The Sing-Off as HF and VP. (He was with the acapella group On The Rocks.)

[@NerdvanaReactions]

Left to right in this video, you've got Rob (tenor), Adam (beatboxer), Tim who you've got down, Chance (baritone for Home Free, bass for his former group Street Corner Symphony), and Austin, who was lead on When a Man Loves a Woman. Good options for Chance on lead include One Man Band, Some Girls Do, Think a Little Less (gets blocked, but released after disputing), and Workin' for a Living (Huey Lewis and the News cover, so the least country out of these options). There are plenty more options with him on lead, but those are my personal favorites. Since Chance joined in 2016, Home Free has been gifted serious flexibility on leads, since either Chance or Tim does a great job on the bass line when the other is on lead.

[@claims44]

[@deniseriley6622]

I absolutely love your reactions ❤ I love watching Rob in the videos, the dude is always dancing and getting down.

[@dwfarr]

Recommend their cover of Crazy.

[@annkanyr3024]

Chance is a baritone but he was bass for his former group, Street Corner Symphony. Please listen to Cover Me Up ( serious song) or Working For A Living (fun song) to hear Chance lead.

[@pattywilson1534]

Is Cover Me Up the song that has a special ending after the end of the song?

[@marioncamp645]

For some of Chance's leads then listen to "Cover Me Up", "I Can't Outrun You" and one no one seems to react to "Born In The USA". You won't be disappointed!

[@ferrisdonoso4556]

These guys are always the ultimate professionals, but there is something about this whole performance/video that is just so slick and so compelling that it is a whole different level of professional. This is a video that could be in an awards ceremony, it rivals the best of the music industry. And I love their other stuff just as much, this one just shows that they can go wherever they want.

[@edsartistry]

I love this song!! And how they sort of switched up their parts to show off some of their other ranges. Tim taking the higher range is epic, and Chances lower range is so grounding and solid. This is one of my favorites.

[@melinda4360]

You will enjoy Adam's drum solo.(he has gotten a lot better over the years) Home Free: Drum Solo of Adam Rupp in South Portland ME, during the Spring Tour of 2015 on April 16 2015

[@brandyforsythe1882]

YES, this is the one I mentioned on another reaction. To give Adam Rupp his due you've got to watch his drum solo from 2015. And strap in, he'll take you for a ride!

[@marshac7738]

Besides Tim going up in his range and Chance going down in his, I think the underlying feeling of "different" in this arrangement is also that they are singing in a higher key than they normally do. They chose to sing this in its original key as sung by Cam, a female country singer. LOVE the versatility of our amazingly talented fellas!! 🥰. Every member of Home Free could absolutely be a solo ⭐ star ⭐ but their harmonies together are MAGIC!! ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️

[@babyfry4775]

Oh by the way, Mayday is a distress signal used usually by ships in distress but also planes. So he’s calling Mayday as he’s in distress with his girl and wants out. (Hope that helps)😀

[@lisaseverance6785]

There is one thing many people miss in "Mayday" and it's pretty cool. By now, you have probably noticed that Adam (the Beatboxer) tends to move a bit while doing his thing. If you watch him, he tends to emphasize what he does with movement. In this song, there is a section where it sounds as if they are clapping but no one is clapping in the video. Watch Adam. He gestures with his hand at the same time that we hear claps....HE is making the sound of claps! It is so well done that most people don't realize it. Took a few watches for me to notice it! Amazing!

[@conniestone2806]

Great reaction! Chance has an awesome baritone voice. A tear-jerker he does is Can't Outrun You, a fun upbeat one is Some Girls Do. He has a couple other good ones. And both basses sing in the incredible Brothers in Arms. A must watch/listen. And then there's the great message and incredible video of Everybody Walking This Land. I love the fun one Workin' For a Living too. Oh yes, Chance leads that one. The guys really get into the fun/crazy so watch when you need a laugh and a lift! Take care.

[@debbiehall9091]

Love this song. Tim's vocal range is amazing. Just went to my first concert this past Saturday.❤️

[@mamabears34]

Great reaction! You just have to check out a song and video that they do called Cover Me Up, it showcases Chance as the lead singer of the whole song. He does a beautiful job with this one, you will be blown away by how good he sounds and I think that you will look at him differently after seeing and hearing this one. The video is really good with a surprise at the end of it. You will continue to discover new things about them and their capabilities with each new song that you listen to by them. Home Free is the gift that keeps on giving!♥

"If Tim's the earthquake, this is the aftershock!" 😆😆 Perfect!! You had me rolling when you said that, because it was funny and accurate. Great reaction once again Matt!

[@lindajanca8069]

The original artist is a women , so they did it in the same key as her. You're not alone most reaction lost their minds with Tim's higher range 🤯

[@grannymitch9475]

Your reaction to the switch-up was why we told you to wait to watch this! And your reaction was fun to watch, as always. Loved the way your eyebrows shot up on Tim’s high run. This was originally done by Cam, a soprano, it is a pop song, and they sang this in the same key. It’s about being in a bad relationship that they can’t break out of. Tim tells people who want to learn from him how to extend their bass voice to work on their high notes and extend their higher voice. Austin (the guy above you) made particularly good use of his high range and extended his last notes to perfection. Adam Rupp (who did not, by his own admission, win any international beatboxing competitions because he’s never competed in one) did a fantastic job (as always) in driving the music and keeping the tempo. Rob is always fabulous. Chance was actually a bass in his last group. Tim has joked on stage that they were lucky when Chance joined them and not PXT. He does have a lot of solos, you’ve just not gotten to them (yet). Helplessly Hoping, Winter Song, One Man Band, Brothers in Arms (where you also get treated to Tim at his “bassist”) and Castle on the Hill are my recommendations. Want to go full-on country, I recommend Folsom Prison Blues, Hillbilly Bone, and Ain’t Goin Down Til the Sun Comes Up (a Garth Brooks cover only on Home Free’s FB page). Adam’s nomonica is off the rails! For a lighter, funnier side, try Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget (written by Tim with a cameo by Avi Kaplan).

[@davidphillips4476]

Tim's range is just astonishing!! Sometime you are gonna have to check out Tim's Story times....They are great during their lives.That's Austin Brown and he is one of the most down to earth people in the field. He has appeared on several reactors shows to talk with them live. Love the dude. Love the group as well. it's amazing that The Sing Off produced PTX one year then Home Free the next....crazy good. Being a PentaFry I love these groups. My favorite of their is "Blue Ain't Your Color" They are just so lovably awkward and vocally stunning.

[@victorcoker2713]

Now you see why us Home Fries tell new reactors to wait until they have a few Home Free videos under their belt and they "know" who sings what parts...LOL

[@williamcapp448]

Tim sang tenor in one of his previous vocal groups. Chance was the bass for his previous vocal group. So it was easy for them to switch parts. Check out Tim's solo work on Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow and Chance's solo cover of Wayfaring Stranger which he recorded with the Fox and the Hound.

[@geniej9093]

Their bench is exceptionally deep. Chance just added further to that depth.

[@kristindunstan172]

This is actually an "I'm afraid to break up with you song." The lyrics talk about an emergency of needing to get out of the relationship before it drags them down.

[@gailseatonhumbert]

Acapella groups can often not find natural bass singers because it is a rare voice type. They still need that bass line though so many have a baritone who can sing down to bass range as their bass. Adam Chance played that role in Street Corner Symphony the group he competed in the SingOff with in Season 2 I believe. Chris Rupp used to be the baritone and backup bass singer before he left Homefree, the group he founded, and moved to Florida. He still sings.

[@lorrainenye9537]

Please react to I. Can't Outrun You. Chance takes lead and it is a hauntingly beautiful song. One of many favorites of theirs.

[@sharonmortimer3843]

The guy's name you didn't know was Austin Brown who has a 4 octave range. The guy singing the bass was Adam Chance (Chance) who is a bass but covers baritone and then bass when Tim has a lead. Enjoyed watching your reaction to this song.

[@sandrastorer5628]

This song is a cover sung by a girl named Cam, and they're singing it in her original key, hence all the tenor. Adam Chance (they call him Chance) is their baritone, but as you heard, he has a bass range.

[@jeowanyvalenca7244]

Adam Chance before took part of a acapella group called Sweet Back Symphony before substitute Chriss Rupp after left Home Free.

[@kristindunstan172]

Chance is featured with solo parts in Cover Me Up (be sure to watch to the very end for a surprise) and Try Everything from Zootopia as well as a few others. He has an amazing storytelling voice and also has his own KZbin channel.

[@LadyDragonsblood]

Adam Chance was the bass for the A Capella group Street Corner....they were on the last season of The Sing Off....and I do believe they won it. The last season of The Sing Off was reduced to a two night special...because the ratings had tanked....sadly, people just had NO appreciation of just how difficult A Capella of this quality is to do. You have NO autotune or instruments to cover mistakes.... and being perfect is nearly impossible, but A Capella groups pull off perfection much of the time.
