Home Free - Mayday (Reaction)

[@whyme7996]

Home free is a vocal band of 5 men but somehow has 2 basses, 5 tenors, and 5 beatboxers. Rob, the bearded wonder, is my absolutely favorite singer.

[@eriklind8489]

yep...pretty much

[@roberthudson1959]

Actually, the four singers can all reach both C2 and C5, which means they are both tenors and basses. They all beatbox as well. Rupp's range is undetermined because he sings so seldom.

[@toospunky3735]

Austin's the high pitched ginger tenor, Tim Foust is the bass that breaks speakers. Chance (Adam Chance, but Chance here since there's already an Adam, founder Adam Rupp, along with Chris Rupp & Tim Foust). Robs an original member. Chance replaces Chris Rupp as tenor, but does some mad bass as you're hearing here. He has a solid, beautifully melodic, very rich tone. A

[@chemislife]

I think you would enjoy watching Adam's drum solo. We call Adam a freak of nature for a reason.

[@biancayazypereiraakaziky5448]

THEY ARE ANGELICAL BEINGS HERE ON EARTH TO TEACH US TO BE HUMBLE

[@saffronmeadow2469]

Look for Adam Rupp, live in concert drum solo! Home Free didn't lose, they won the Sing Off the year after Pentatonix, they beat Voiceplay in their year, You need to check them out too. Hoist the Colours, My Mother Told Me, Oogie Boogie's song

[@elizabeths50]

all three songs by Voiceplay are phenomenal. Some members from Voiceplay create arrangements for Home Free also

[@allybandy3047]

Definitely the Butts Remix (for fun) next. Their harmonies are also off the chart in Seven Bridges Road. BTW both of those are disgusting too.

[@davidlambert8879]

for harmonies I would also suggest Helplessly Hoping

[@dagmar.6954]

This is one of my favorites. Your surprise at hearing the switch ups in the voices was great. Tim can sing in a beautiful higher tenor voice along with Austin & Rob. And Chance can hit the lower bass notes when needed. And Adam did a fabulous job as always with his vocal percussion. This song is sung by a woman Cam, so they sung it in a higher key to match the original. I think these guys are the best a cappella group out there in my opinion. They won the 4th season of the "Sing Off" in 2013 hands down. No one came even close to their talent.

[@jadaskye]

Wonderful to see you so enjoying Home Free's performances. Next I would recommend "End of the Road" which features the two tenors and in particular Rob (beard and glasses) and "Hillbilly Bone" featuring the bass Tim Foust (rhymes with "oust").

[@momD612]

Absolutely PERFECT reaction! See why we say "WAIT!!!"?? lol These guys are mind blowing 🤯. We never know what they'll do next, keeping us all on our toes. And NEVER disappointed! 😊 I suggest "Snowglobe", or "Hillbilly Bone", or "sold". Or just anything they do, seriously they're all masterful. 😉🥰

[@kylefrandsen2665]

There was an a cappella competition show called "The Sing Off". In Season 4, Home Free won, but there was another group called Voiceplay that season who also have a LOT of great stuff out there. Voiceplay are more theatrical and use more costumes and sets. Voiceplay has also been through more lineup changes since the show where Home Free has only had one change since the show. Noteably, the season before Home Free won, Pentatonix won. You should also check them out. Their "Daft Punk" medley won them a Grammy.

[@MichaelSimmons.]

Home Free never lost a competition. They were only on the season 4 of, The Sing Off, and they won. Someone is giving you some bad information. Great reaction.

[@tolzmania1]

Actually they auditioned for the show before season 4 and didn’t even make it on the show. That was also before Austin and Tim joined the group.

[@MarielleSweden]

Austin, Tim and Chance all do their own music too. Check them out. Tim’s new “Will you still love me tomorrow/ Stay” is showing his insane range. And Austin just released “Bring him home” and that is mind blowing. Chans also just released a new song, but no video to that one (yet?)

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Guys, the Butts Medley sounds great for a next one on the Home Free Journey....be ready to laugh. Butts has Chris and no Chance

[@glowormrdr6183]

I kinda forgot how pretty that one is. I wouldn't call Chance's low note a fry, though. It sounded to me like a clear chest note, just not as strong as Tim's. A good place to compare them is on the video of Folsom Prison Blues, where they share the lead.

[@heatherdelgado9303]

It is a solid chest note, but the reason it sounded like that was the now was doubled in production.

[@rf4569]

Chris Rupp, Adam's brother, left to work on his solo project. Adam Chance (goes by Chance) joined then. He is a baritone and usuall does bass when Tim decides to change the world order. jejeje. You'll soon notice that they all take the lead, they choose the most fitting voice for each song. There's a live of the song 9 to 5 where they all do beatboxing. Regards from Argentina.

[@marlenekloth4734]

Home Free won the Sing Off year after Pentatonix I love Home Free saw them in concert this past year they were fantastic. Just subscribed for more Home Free

[@patriciawoyczik1657]

Loved your reaction! As you were praising the 3 guys out front on their singing...I'm thinking...wait til Chance kicks in....you didn't disappoint! Let this HF journey continue!

[@calliec7493]

For five part harmony no beatboxing, Brothers in Arms, Helplessly Hoping or Auld Lang Syne. To see them all do beatboxing they have two versions, 9 to 5 live or this song Mayday live.

[@r.d.stratford106]

Seconding all of these!

[@aprilebert157]

Third to all of these as well.

[@milomurphy9178]

All great options 👍.

[@minneyruth]

Agree!!

[@whyme7996]

Don't forget How Great Thou Art!!! And that beautiful clear line sung by Adam (beatboxer who is also a gifted tenor)

[@janetmcclure8568]

Can't believe these amazing men aren't mainstream!

[@jeffsmith266]

Check out “Love me like that” (written by Austin) and “Land of the Free” (written by Tim). Also you can check out “Can’t help falling in love” performed by Tim. There’s no video but it shows off his killer range.

[@alarmedplacebo1579]

It's time for BUTTS!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 They deserve The Butts Remix next! Great mix of genre and skills on display, plus funny af! 😁

[@colleenleavitt1777]

I loved that song! I loved that Adam Chance got to show his diversity too as he has such an amazing voice. They all do! 😁

[@lisabeebe1863]

Adam is the beatboxer and only original member and founder left of Home Free. Great reaction!

[@WearingTheArmor]

The guys: Rob "the beard" Lundquist - tenor Austin Brown - high tenor Adam Rupp - human drum kit Adam Chance - baritone/bass (4+ octave range) Tim Foust - basso profundo (5+ octave range) There are other A Capella groups that are good, but Home Free sets the bar! They actually were winners of "The Sing-Off", lots of videos online of their performances -blew the judges away. Tim has a new solo A Capella doo-wop album out and a couple singles from it online.

[@jasonwalker8324]

I will not fully disagree with this, I do think Pentatonix is right there with HomeFree. 2 different styles of music coming from these 2 groups though. Both groups highly respect each other and both won the same competition just different years. Really wish Avi would do another song with them.

[@anthonyhaylock6655]

Home Free are definitely amazing in every way

[@karenc1564]

great reaction! If you want to hear Tim's range, check out his single, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay, where he sings all the parts. You will be amazed!!

[@michellejolly3511]

They won the sing-off.

[@marshac7738]

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!!

[@paulacrump4679]

"When A Man Loves A Woman" and "End Of The Road"

[@Graniepanies]

No one is comparable to HOME FREE. Please check out HOME FREE “When a man loves a woman” Thanks

[@victoriasmith2630]

Thank you for saying it!

[@carolchatham7766]

Glad yall fell for these guys like all us home fries my opinion noone better best harmonies and beatboxer keep it up

[@stanrock2225]

They never miss. Unreal. Their roles change and the talent level is off the chart

[@kristipenwell8611]

Please please please react to their cover of Boys II Men's "End of the Road"!!! They're the only group that's ever done it justice in my opinion. You absolutely will not regret it. Awesome reaction! One of the best I've ever seen. Cant wait til the next one.(By the way, they didnt lose the competition. They won "The Sing Off" when they were on it.) 💗💗💗💗💗

[@sacilexi231]

They do need mics for concerts, and a sound engineer to keep it all balanced. Best sounding concert i have ever been to. Very clear vocals and speaking.

[@lavonneburke979]

For their true a cappella, and even the beat boxer Adam singing, check out How Great Thou Art.

[@allanhill4359]

The big three in acapella right now are Home Free, Pentatonix and Voice Play. Also excellent but a little different style is Voctave.

[@brendafrazier811]

I read someone’s description of the three once as: Pentatonix as the student body officer kids, Voiceplay the drama kids and Home Free the kids hanging out in the parking lot after the game. (Something like that!) Thought that described the difference in their styles very well. Home Free is much more my style than the others. I appreciate their talents but just don’t enjoy them as much.

[@sharontaylortaylor1858]

For something fun try checking out their live version of 9-5. Look for 9-5 Beat box break down. It's really crazy cool.

[@ericpotter4657]

Home Free was started in 2000 in Minnesota as a high school vocal band by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp (the beatboxer). Rob Lundquist the bearded tenor joined in 2008. Tim Foust the bass 95 octive range) joined next followed by Austin Brown the high tenor. In 2013 they were on NBC’s 4th season of Sing-Off, a acappella competition show. Pentatonix won the season 3 show. Home Free won the season 4 show and won of the groups they beat out is Voiceplay. Pentatonix, Home Free and Voiceplay are considered the big 3 today in acappella. They all are good and each has a different unique style. I much prefer the Home Free style. In 2016 Adam Rupp left Home Free to do some solo work and started another group. He was replaced by Adam Chance who goes by Chance so to not be confused with Adam Rupp. Chance normally sings baritone and has a 4 octave range was the one singing bass on this song. As you go down this rabbit hole another name Peter Hollens will come up. He has done many collaboration with Tim Foust and a few with Home Free. He is extremely talented and deserves a listen. Hopefully this helps so and enjoy your acapella journey.

[@ericpotter4657]

Should have been (5 octive range). Sorry

[@jadaskye]

Adam Rupp is the only founding member remaining in Home Free. It was his brother Chris who left HF in 2016.

[@ericpotter4657]

@@jadaskye you are correct I screwed that up

[@r.d.stratford106]

Oh yeah! Watching this was a great way to start my morning! You guys are fantastic. Mayday is one of my favorites too; they kill it and bring it back to life and kill it all over again. The range and the talent -- whooo. The show you're thinking of is The Sing-Off and they won the fourth season. The other two acapella groups to check out if you're interested are Pentatonix (especially recommend The Sound of Silence, Hallelujah and Daft Punk medley, which they won their first [yes, first -- of three] Grammy for) and VoicePlay (Hoist the Colours, Carry On Wayward Son, My Mother Told Me). VP is affectionately called the "theater kids" of acapella and they're big into makeup, costumes, stage musicals, so all three groups have a really different vibe.

[@rf4569]

Hi! They got the first place on “The Sing-Off,” an a cappella vocal competition.

[@brookebeasley5611]

Home Free, Pentatonix, Voice Play, Voctave...all amazing a capella groups. No need to compare them, just enjoy!

[@Rose-fq3hb]

This was a great reaction! And also one of my favourite songs from them. If you want to see more of Tim’s range I would recommend “will you still love me/stay” from Tim’s new Doo-wop album he’s released. It’s incredible! Austin Brown also has solo music he does and just released a new song. But unchained melody is defending one to see by him. Austin and Tim did “my Maria” that also shows Tim’s range. Anything by them are good options though! They all cannot hit bass but they can all hit tenor a super talented group! Tim tends to use the methods of growls (which might have been what Adam chance used for the B1 I could be wrong) which does incorporate vocal fry.

[@tonyakidd4052]

Who could beat them on any given day? Not likely! Most people fall in love on the first song they hear.

[@debbiecrawford7925]

Brothers in Arms is a must. Great reaction

[@cavamom]

Fantastic reaction guys! Home Free rocks our world.

[@marjoarendse5706]

I love your reactions! Just wanted to come and comment on Chance's bass note. That's a full chest voice note, not vocal fry. Vocal coach here ❤ I love watching you go deeper into this rabbit hole! Keep them reactions coming, we Home Fries will be here for those!

[@shellywagoner5259]

They won the sing off. Welcome to the rabbit hole! The beatboxer is a two time world champion! He is a freak of nature!

[@katebuzard1823]

You have to react to Tim Foust singing "Will you still Love me Tomorrow/Stay" solo. It will blow your mind! 🤯 No he didn't leave the band, it's just a side gig

[@bethbrown934]

Please listen to When a man loves a woman . Austin kills it.😂

[@donnacarey7472]

They won the Sing off

[@unluckydiablo9502]

And you haven't even heard "Snow Globe" or "Die a happy man". We can get into "helplessly hoping" later.

[@meganferraro8145]

Pentatonix and Voiceplay are the 2 other prominent a capella groups...but you need to hear Home Free do "End of the Road ".

[@wendythrockmorton1811]

Ya'll are hilarious with your reactions! Chance (baritone) does amazing with Cover Me Up. Their cover of Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms will blow your hair back with the harmonies. What area of the world are y'all from because on the Home Fries FB page, someone had tickets up for sale. Also, if you like oldies doo wop Tim Foust released 2 songs where he does all parts of the song, freaking amazing! Also too, Austin has some solo things out as well.

[@shellywagoner5259]

Saw them live in Tennessee and was part of the crowd when they filmed dreamer. They are insane!!! So gifted!!!!

[@dianeholder1316]

I have been to see Home Free in concert and they were fantastic. Adam Rupp's drum solo was great and you literally feel Tim Foust's bass vibrate from the floor into your feet to having the seat vibrate around you. You won't be disappointed going to their concert.

[@sacilexi231]

The trifecta of a capella, Home Free, country leaning, Pentatonix more pop and then the theater kids, Voice Play.

[@melisacross5432]

Their live show is exceptional and they are as good live as in studio. They are truly amazing.

[@babyfry4775]

This is one of my favorites. We like for new reactors to wait on this song if they don’t know all the singers voices. You boys seem to know their voices so you understood the switcheroo of Tim going high and Chance going low. They are all so good. They won season 4 of the Sing Off. Voiceplay lost to them. Pentatonix won season 3 and they’re fantastic too. Try Helplessly Hoping, Brothers in Arms, One Man Band, Country Roads, End of the Road to hear more incredible harmonies. Adam Rupp Drum Solo on KZbin (2015) is amazing. It’s a good video. There are newer ones but they show him at his looping station which is cool. He does that to save his voice but I don’t think it’s as good. Great reaction boys! Enjoy! Oh to hear more Chance try I Can’t Outrun You.

[@GaiaOne]

Yeah, individually, each of these men is awesome. The killer thing about Home Free is that when they sing together, they are so much more. Perfect example of synergy.

[@heatherdelgado9303]

I didn't see this anywhere else, but one thing that was extra impressive to me is this is 5 men covering a song from a female artist... in the same key she sang it in.

[@vickiadkins9844]

Such a great song by home free!! Home fry forever!! Thanks guys! Ur uncle is a smart man!!

[@katebuzard1823]

Just as impressive live! Yes, sometimes they use a looper, but the sounds are all them. I am addicted to these guys!

[@martyscott3236]

Yes, you most definitely should see them in concert. They are even more impressive live.

The original song was sung by a young woman named Cam and Home Free sang it in the same key as she did hence the higher octave. 😄💜

Honestly they are even better in concert, you feel the bass lines. Tim's range is crazy but he is so clear and crisp

[@TonyBrown-lf5nj]

To hear Tim using his higher vocals stellar performance.

[@bambamnj]

There are actually several very popular acapella groups circulating right now. Home Free does more Countryish based music and then Pentatonix is probably the other best known group. They are more Pop/Rock music. There is also Voice Play and Voctave. I am sure there are more but these are the one that come to my mind.

[@KazyReed]

My husband just surprised me with tickets to see Home Free this summer. I nearly died.

If you really want to hear something that will blow your minds, check out the harmony yodeling on "Thank God I'm a Country Boy". The talent and creativity of Home Free is off the charts! Oh and Helplessly Hoping is my absolute favorite video they do. You guys are a hoot!

[@janethoffman4197]

Home Free gold! Love your reactions!

[@cliftonmcnalley8469]

Austin popped up on my feed st the beginning of covid. I knew nothing of Home Free. Then "My Maria" popped up - first time I ever heard Tim Foust - seemed to be clearest falsetto I'd ever heard. At the end, Austin begins talking and suddenly - there's this VOICE - I had to look closely at my phone to verify this beautiful rich voice was emanating from Tim's mouth! Yeah, then I was hooked.

[@cowboy1165]

Did you notice that nobody was clapping, that was Adam Rupp, and did you notice they stopped stomping but the stomping was still there, that was Adam Chance's bass.

[@vampirelady70]

[@elizabethhostetter1946]

The three groups, for me, are all equally amazing; each has its own specialty. Pentatonix/PTX does pop (they've only recently started using more production tweaks, but one thing they pride themselves on is that they release nothing that they can't do live as well), Home Free does 'fun', CW and any other genre (they seem to use less production, but have started using a machine (?) to record parts on stage just before a song, then use those in the song), and Voice Play uses theatrics (and nearly no production, and all production is done by members of VP). They're all *amazing* - and don't forget to follow individual singers from the groups, as many of them also do side projects (Sup3rfruit/Superfruit, Geoff Castellucci, Tim Foust, Austin Brown, Messer, Kirsten; and Avi Kaplan, original bass from PTX. The side projects are not always a cappella, but are amazing nonetheless.)

[@mettesrensen6116]
