Home Free - When A Man Loves A Woman (Reaction)

[@mosaiceyes2020]

I loved your reaction! More Home Free Please!

[@connieharmon2408]

Love Home Free ❤

[@sherryschoenlein8951]

Home Free is an a cappella vocal band, they are called the ONLY Country a cappella band, however they can sing any genre. They won the Sing Off Season 4 in 2013, the year after Pentatonix. They sing both covers & originals, in fact their last album "So Long Dixie" which was released in Nov 2022, has 12 of the 14 tracks on it are originals written by Tim Foust their bass, &/or Austin Brown their high tenor who had the lead on this song. This band started in 2001 & really took off after the Sing Off. Enjoyed your reaction to my favorite guy's, & if you continue down the Home Free rabbit hole which has 200+ videos, I promise the HF fans called the Home Fries will flock to your channel, there's nothing we like better than to watch people react to them. Btw, this was shot during Covid, so Austin was the only one actually in the studio. 🍟❤️

[@errolowl1]

If Austin's invited to all the cookouts, you're definitely invited to the Home Free rabbit hole! Enjoyed your reaction and looking forward to more. Thank you!

[@terrisalser7721]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Home Free 😊. I have seen them in concert 5 times and have loved every single time

[@holgerschussler9107]

They did End of the Road justice...give it a listen

[@nightthornkvala94132]

This was one of their videos done during the quarantine (usually released every other Friday for awhile) so each of the guys were in a small studio space in their own homes. Except for Austin who was in an actual studio with whoever was on the sound board, and his wonderful lady Amberly. And, dude, you better have plenty of food at the cookout. Three of them are southern boys who know their way around burgers & barbecue, and Tim is an admitted foodie.

[@nethanelmasters5170]

And Tim is from Texas.

[@cavamom]

Absolutely no instruments.....freakin amazing. Love all the a capella groups, but there's just something about Home Free 😍

[@joylambert121]

These guys are the best! So many more you need to see!

[@Laura_Martin42]

Home Free fans (Home Fries) like to say that Home Free does upgrades instead of covers! This song was done during Covid so they were not in the same location, hence the monitors.

[@michaelriley8101]

Their cover of End of the Road is excellent. Thanks for your reaction!

[@dagmar.6954]

Welcome to the fabulous world of Home Free! Austin did a fabulous job of this classic song. Loved Percy Sledge's version, but this was taken to another level. I think it is also better than Michael Bolton's version. And remember this was done during quarantine, so the guys weren't even together. The backing harmonies are great, along with Tim's bass. And Adam's vocal percussion is outstanding. Drummers have often commented on just how realistic his sound is. This is why these guys are my favorite a cappella group.

[@rachellindsey4212]

I could have sworn those were actual drums. But, man, that was awesome acapella drums, Adam! 🥁

[@vickiroman189]

Oh, the fabulous HF rabbit hole is deep. And well worth it :-) "Try Everything," "End of the Road," "Helplessly Hoping," "Brothers in Arms," etc., etc., etc.

[@oldschoolpop8428]

Check out Austin Brown music, the lead singer here. He is utterly remarkable

[@bella-xp7qd]

They all take lead depending on the song. They pick the best member for each song.

[@mrsmissy2669]

I just subscribed in hopes to hear more Home Free. They did a wonderful version of End of the Road and Listen to the Music. They have also done perfect 5 part harmony in a song called Helplessly Hoping. Please react. 😁

[@tedharvick9010]

Wait til you react to their cover of End of the Road. You'll feel a higher level of soul. And their cover of Love Train will take you back to the days of Soul Train...yeah, I'm that old, lol.

[@LynnRamsay]

Great Reaction!! Welcome to Home Free rabbit hole. The group started in 2001 by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp They are the only country A Capella ( all vocals no instruments)group but they can honestly sing any genre and they do They won The Sing Off season 4 2013 that's where they became very popular. Fans of Home Free are known as Home Fries and are very loyal to the guys. Adam Rupp: Beatboxer Extraordinaire -Tenor can make any sound imaginable (A whole drum kit, harmonica (his Nomonica we call it )plane flyovers, trains, castanets, bugs ,birds etc).Co founder from Mankato Minnesota.

They are just funny, down to earth, humble nice guys.They are the best A Cappella group there is Sorry for the long read

[@200yente]

The lead singer here is Austin Brown, the high tenor of Home Free. He has his own KZbin channel where he has mostly solo work with accompaniment from piano or guitar. I would highly recommend his versions of Unchained Melody and Bring Him Home. There is also a video of him and the other tenor, Rob Lundquist signing the opera aria Nessun Dorma. Home Free and it's individual members can and do do anything and everything.

[@mikebradshaw9113]

[@PaulaThompson-x9w]

A Home Fee newbie? I'm in. I just subscribed so i can watch you enjoy the journey.

[@paulinesoares3594]

A few people have redone that song. But nothing can even come close to it as the original by Percy Sledge. I’m 57 and grew up listening to the original. The soul and emotion he put into singing that song can never be duplicated.

[@karenminyard517]

Love, Love, Love your reaction!!!

[@richb313]

Every single member of Home Free could have a solo career but choose to remain they are ALL great singers.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Subscribed. Let's explore Home Free and more a cappella. These guys know a good cookout, I can guarantee that. Home Fries (the fans of Home Free) are more than happy to share all they know about these guys.😊

[@Gorillagrr]

Go down the rabbit hole you won’t be disappointed. Doesn’t matter who leads or if it’s a cover or original they give their unique style to each song they do! I see a Home Fry in the making

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Yes, they do a lot of covers (or would that be upgrades?) but they also have a lot of wonderful original songs out there too. Austin and Tim did a good amount of song writing while stuck at home during the quarantine, many of which showed up in their album So Long Dixie. Three of Austin's songs there produced the Stargazer Trilogy, chronicling his feelings when one relationship ended and finding his current wonderful lady. (I make no secret of my adoration of her and my joy of seeing them together in vids.) That's Give Me a Sign, Stargazer Lilies (my fave by far), and MR. He also wrote 2 songs which he sings in many scenarios on his tiktok channel, usually around the house with her in the background doing chores: Everlasting Ground and Hers Ain't Mine. The second one is funny and they're both loving and sweet. Chance recently wrote a song for some pirate video game I know nothing about (ain't my thing) called Skull and Bones. There's a lyric video with scenes from the game and a shorter one where they debuted the song. Also check out Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget and its sequel Full of Cheer, both written by Tim Foust. I think is was Austin that wrote Cold Hard Cash. You don't have to wait for Christmas for those last two.

[@nancyholter5646]

Austin's next love song comes out tomorrow - Everything.

Lead singer here AUSTIN BROWN has his own channel He has originals that have reached #1, & covers from Stevie Wonder, Al Greene, Bieber, Etta James, & Otis Redding, Ray Charles & many more But his “Unchained Melody” has reached over 12M in a very short amount of time. Thank you for taking the time for Home Free, I hope you check out Austin’s music

[@karendavis2668]

One of my favorite songs 😍 Their version is really amazing.

[@vickiadkins9844]

Austin is killer here!! Of course the boys on the back are bringing it too! Austin, Rob, Chance, Adam, and Tim!!!!!!!

[@babyfry4775]

Austin (lead) and Adam (beatboxer) killed it. This was during Covid so I thought the use of tvs was clever. They are a cappella. They are an incredible band. All take the lead depending on the song and all can beatbox to a degree. They sing covers but also write and sing their own songs. Chance just wrote a new song for a pirate game called Skull & Bones which is incredible. 🤩

[@dananddiana2]

Every one of these guys can SANG! you need to go down the rabbit hole and hear them all..... They may be just harmonizing for Austin in this one but Austin harmonizes for each of them also. Depending on the song, any one of these guys can take the lead and kill it! Looking forward to you reacting to more home free and joining us fans... the Home Fries!

[@pamelagoodman7559]

Austin sings solo on his KZbin channel (started during quarantine) and sings Unchained Melody with just a bit of guitar. His voice alone. He also sings Etta James’ At Last in the same key as Ms. James

[@itzel1735]

Check “Land of the Free” and “Everybody Walkin This Land”

WHAT ?!? Steady, Bubba ! NO THEY ARE VERY MUCH NEEDED as a group so incredible

[@irenelopez3390]

❤Home Free

[@JoanN63]

Austin nailed it. He gives himself completely here and also plays very well with the cameras. The great harmonies, deep bass and the unbelievably freaking good beatboxing/vocal percussion/vocal sounds finish it all off for me. I think it sounds perfect because of all the different beautiful voices. I grew up performing Percy Sledge which I already loved. Then came Michael Bolton's performance where I couldn't say it was better. But this one from Home Free certainly is.

[@dcrebel8316]

Great song, great cover, great band…great reaction!!

[@sherryarflin726]

Ring of Fire Ft Avi Kaplan, End of the Road, In the Blood, Brothers in Arms, Mayday, Misty Mountain cover by Peter Hollens ft Tim Foust is a must. These should get you started.

[@retroactive1autrey668]

Keep on keeping on, young Gentleman. You are spot on.

[@randykillman6475]

You should listen to many Home Free songs. Find one where the beat boxer does the air harmonica. they have so many great songs.

[@oldschoolpop8428]

They do both covers and originals. The best of acapella! PTX won season 12 of the Sing Off show, Home Free won season 13! Great reaction brother!

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Correction: Pentatonix won season 3 of the Sing-Off in 2011 and Home Free won season 4 in 2013. VoicePlay made it about halfway through the competition in season 4 before being voted out. The three groups are good friends and have collaborated between each other in various capacities many times.

[@JulieAnn02261990]

You have the wrong years. PTX won season 3, Home Free season 4. A true fan would know that.

[@jasonsomething6003]

PTX has nothing on Home Free! With 14 albums and over 140 videos of vocal perfection for your enjoyment! I have a couple request for Home Free. Home Free-"END OF THE ROAD" Boys II men cover, and Home Free-"MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW". peace

Austin has his own channel where he has a number of covers and originals, and on some he does the harmonies. He has a lovely voice. But all of the guys are fantastic. Rob (tenor, the guy with "the beard") is lead on End of the Road which I think you would enjoy; each of them takes lead in various songs. Enjoy the ride.

The difference is in tone. Bolton sounds so bad-tempered and resentful, not to say constipated that it's positively unpleasant to listen to.

What I mean is it's the same song because of the lyrics and the melody. It's just a different version because of the artist. And each artist has their own personal sound/style.

[@marciaramirez3791]

One of the many marvelous things about Home Free is the respect they show the songs they cover while making them truly their own. They vote on who should be the lead in each song they perform. Their talents are out of this world, no matter which genre they do they nail it. Their originals are amazing also. For a little taste of their versatility may I suggest "Brothers in Arms" a Dire Straits cover, for a taste of country "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" from the movie of the same name, for a good giggle "The Butts Remix", for amazement "The End of The Road" a Boyz to Men cover and last but never least "In The Blood" a John Meyer cover. So many to choose from so little time. Looking forward to your Home Free journey!

[@melissakay6143]

Great reaction 🎉 and yes, you can borrow the jacket! I'll sub for more Home Free, please. Try their "Unchained Melody" and "Ring of Fire" covers if you wanna hear a couple classics re-done and more of the angel voice of Austin. Yes, it's like Pentatonix, but not really. No instruments, all voices only. Fun rabbit hole. Welcome to the deep dive!

[@teresacartwright5406]

I always loved the late Percy Sledge's 1966 original and I think he would have approved of Home Free's cover. The writer of the song had just had a bad break-up and wrote "I gave you everything I had"; Austin's lady Amberly was in the studio (that's who he's actually looking at) and he sings "I'll give you everything I've got". A slight but significant change. Thanks for playing this - love from Canada.

[@teresacartwright5406]

BTW, they each have channel(s) of their own. Austin Brown (lead on this) has original songs on his channel ("Earn It", "Off the Grid", "Real Talk" & "If I Met You Now" among them). You're welcome!

As has been said before each individual brings their own unique talents to a song. If you really want to experience something unique then sample the bass, Tim Foust, who has a five octave range and listen to when he goes high. Just incredible. Or when Rob and Austin sing opera, Nessun Dorma ...

Home Free is the ultimate vocal band around! Pentatonix and VoicePlay are the other top ranking groups currently. PTX is basically pop and VoicePlay is more theatrical...both groups have had some changes in the group. HF was started 2000 by Adam Rupp and his brother, Chris. Chris left in 2016 for other pursuits and Chance joined. During quarantine they released two videos every month and they were fantastic. This video is one of those... they also did Folsom Prison Blues and Gambler which are both great. For a real mind-blowing experience, there's Two Country Singers Try Singing Opera! MUST SEE!
