I WASN'T READY!!! | HOME FREE - Do You Hear What I Hear REACTION!!! (Hip Hop Fan Reacts!!!)

[@ronfuqua2117]

I was at a Home Free concert last night and they are as good live as their recordings. Pick any song in their catalog there are no bad ones.

[@LadyDragonsblood]

And this song is a good example of this. Adam had this arrangement for a long time, but he couldn't perfect the percussion. Home Free will not perform any song live, unless they can make it sound exactly like the recording. Once Adam perfected this percussion, they released the video and now perform the song live at Christmas concerts. They are TRUE professionals.

[@lynnriddell9632]

Home Free are the best acapella group. Period. Tim Foust (back left) has a 5 octave range and Adam Rupp - the beatboxer who is world class, anchor their songs. Most of their videos are fun-comedic with a few serious songs which also show the gorgeous voices of Austin Brown, Rob Lunquist (beard) and the newest member Adam Chance. One of their more recent ones is ' Brothers in Arms.. which I love. Thanks for reacting to this gorgeous version!

[@Tribblepuppy]

You will never hear a better version of this song, and Home Free makes all of their covers better. They don't do covers, they do upgrades, and make the songs their own.

[@babydoll8714]

I just went to one of their concerts. They are so humble and love their fans. They put on an awesome show. A personal favorite is Home Free Can't Stop the Feeling. I love your reaction!

[@janemcginnis-glynn9234]

Home Free = rabbit hole. Dive in. Any song is a treat to hear. You’ll enjoy it al

[@lindanearing4710]

Adam Rupp's arrangement of this Christmas classic is phenomenal. Their performance of it is epic. There is so much going on throughout this song, most people have to listen to it several times to catch everything. So beautiful, a true masterpiece.

[@invinciblefeelings1439]

You should check out their rendition to Boyz to men's End of the Road.. 👍🏼

[@tinasmith2183]

Man of Constant Sorrow is one of their songs to check out. Thanks

[@jillchamberlain6478]

Do you hear what I hear is an old Christmas hymn. They have a beautiful modern arrangement that their beatboxer did. The group was founded in 2000 by the beatboxer, Adam Rupp, and his older brother Chris Rupp. Chris was singing baritone on this one. He left the group in 2015, I think, to pursue solo ventures. Home Free is 5 members. Adam Rupp, the beatboxer lives in MN still, which is where he was born and raised. Rob Lundquist, tenor (big brown beard and glasses) was also born and raised in MN, and still lives there. The high tenor, Austin Brown, has red hair and a red beard, and is the skinniest of them all. He was born in South Georgia, and now lives in Nashville, TN. Tim Foust, the bass singer, had a 5 octave range. He started this long, but also hit those heavy low notes in the arrangement. He was born in south Texas, gulf coast, and now lives in Nashville. Adam Chance, known as Chance (not in this video), joined the group when Chris Rupp left. He sings baritone and bass, as well as some higher stuff. He also has dark hair, glasses, and a beard, but much smaller beard than Rob. He was raised in Alabama, and now lives in LA. Welcome down the rabbit hole. There’s a whole lot of us down here enjoying the music. Always glad to welcome a new one!!

[@claudevillemaire355]

Welcome to the rabbit hole of home free! You will be blown away by their covers of Man of constant sorrow, and end of the road!

[@GaiaOne]

And...another one falls down the rabbit hole. You are so fucking doomed. We'll save you a chair. You're about to be buried in Home Fries. First, you're going to want to show their videos in full. The men like reactors, and the more recent videos on their own label won't be a copyright problem. Besides, their videos are awesome and you're going to want to share the visuals with your subscribers or they'll miss out, especially on the humor. Your next listen should probably be Man Of Constant Sorrow. It will give you a good overview of the men and their voices. Home Free is the only country a capella group out there, but they can - and do - sing every genre. And they have no lead singer. Every one of these men can take the lead, and they pick the lead for each song by who does it the most justice. During quarantine, they kept all us Home Fries sane by dropping new videos every couple of weeks. God bless ‘em. All the men can beat box, but Adam is in a league of his own. He's a two-time world champion and there're good reasons he's called a "Freak of Nature" and “the man who swallowed a drum kit.” For more of Adam's incredible beat boxing, check out Sea Shanty medley (the man makes castanets, for Pete's sake), his no-monica solo on Working For A Living and Ain't Going Down Til The Sun Comes Up, and his drum solos. For more of Tim's seismic basso profundo, listen to Brothers In Arms, Misty Mountains (his collaboration with Peter Hollens), Folsom Prison Blues, or Ring Of Fire (the Sing Off version). For Chance's smooth baritone, check out Down to the Honky Tonk, Brothers In Arms, and Folsom Prison Blues. (Awesome. A basso profundo and a baritone/bass in the same group.) FYI, Chance is singing (throat singing) the jaw harp sounds - without the jaw harp - in Man Of Constant Sorrow. For Rob's smooth soul, check out End of the Road, Blue Ain't Your Color, or Bless The Broken Road. (Blue-eyed soul is in good hands with The Beard.) For Austin's soaring tenor, check out Moonshine, When A Man Loves a Woman, or Bring Him Home. (But bolt down your chair ‘cause he'll sing you right out of it.) For their humor, check out Butts Remix, Working For A Living, Between A Rock And A Heartache, Make You Feel My Love, and Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget. For their amazing arrangement skills, you heard a great example on the Christmas carol, Do You Hear What I Hear. (Adam's arrangement. Nothing else like it.) For their tight harmonies, check out out Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art, Brothers In Arms, or Auld Lang Syne. For their mashups, check out Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On, Fishing in the Dark/Boondocks, Country Fried Pop, or Woman, Amen/Female. For more of their wonderful collaborations, check out God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood, American Pie with Don McLean, Elvira with The Oak Ridge Boys, or Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For with Peter Hollens. Get at least five videos under your belt and then listen to Mayday - the official video. After Mayday, you'll be ready for Tim and Austin doing My Maria or Tim's mashup of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. Their synergy is phenomenal. Each is an artist in his own right, but man - when they sing together, magic happens. Wicked talent polished by decades of hard work. (Unchained Melody, Castle On The Hill, Seven Bridges Road) To paraphrase another Home Fry, “They don't just own a cover, they upgrade it.” You are doomed, Home Fry. Bring ketchup.

[@r.d.stratford106]

Okay, this is one of the best summarizations of Home Free ever. If I could award you for it, I would!

[@rebeccagibbs8794]

🤣🤣🤣

[@ironiclife3099]

Well said, so well said. 😆

[@theresaswallows4274]

Yea, what they said!!

[@lschoenrank]

Absolutely spot-on summation. Lines 1, 2, and the last one, are all comedy gold and completely true!

[@JoanN63]

For me, Home Free is the number one (A-Capella) group. This is one of the most beautiful arrangements. Adam Rupp did the arrangement. He is the founder of Home Free together with his brother Chris Rupp. Chris left the group in 2016 to pursue a solo career and other projects. Adam Chance, hereinafter referred to as Chance, replaced him. This video is so beautiful. All sung great again with all their different voices but still one. The deep Bass of Tim and of course the glue of the group, Adam with his inhumanly incredible beatboxing/vocal percussion/vocal sounds. The place they have chosen is just magical. But anything Home Free is great. It doesn't matter if it's a cover or an original, Country or any other genre, slow or fast, high or low, serious or funny. For each song they choose which voice(s) fits best. Their personality is so beautiful. No egos, no rivalry, respect for each other, a real brotherhood and so much fun they have together.

[@twar6784]

Nothing like listening to christmas music at the end of May.

[@ohseedee27]

Nice reaction, SBG. Subscribed. Amazing arrangement of this classic carol by Adam Rupp, their beatboxer. You couldn't pick a more interesting rabbit hole to go down, or one with more talent. HF lean country but sing all genres, everything from goofy to heartfelt. Most reactors begin with Man of Constant Sorrow (bluegrass), a big favorite. Or try: Boys II Men's End of the Road, Percy Sledge's When a Man Loves a Woman, John Denver's Take Me Home Country Roads, Dreamer (original), Love Me Like That (original), the mashup Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get it On. You definitely won't want to miss their Butts Remix. So many. They have a huge catalog. Members are beatboxer Adam Rupp (founder), bass Tim Foust (5 octaves; the rest of the guys have at least 4, I believe), high tenor Austin Brown, lead tenor Rob Lundquist, and baritone Adam Chance (called Chance).

[@tonycamacho66]

In my opinion, the trifecta for a capella is Homefree, Voiceplay, and Pentatonix. You won't be disappointed with anything you pick.

[@reginaminton1135]

Thank you for reacting to this song. The guys are amazing. A little extra info on them. The guy singing front left on the first part of the song is..Chris Rupp... founder of the group...wears a cowboy hat or a cap, you will see him up to 2016... left to go solo.. doing well. Adam Rupp... beatboxer/precussionest amazing...co- founder with Chris... both from Minnesota... on left back...Tim Foust..amazing Bass and then some..from Southeast Texas (cut his hair and let the gray show during pandemic)...Rob Londquist...The Beard...tenor...also Minnesota...Austin Brown..long hair...High Tenor... from Georgia. You will see Adam Chance (Chance)....baritone/bass..Bass... took Chris' place. Sorry for the long story.

[@dianeritthaler7792]

These guys are my favorite accapela groups ever. ❤️

[@antrazitaj5209]

They are great, and they sing a wide variety of styles. Also, they like reactors and you don't actually have to filter the video

[@fredamedic2000]

They are just as good live.

[@reneroberson2784]

You are about to go down a huge rabbit-hole the deepest.. Home Free is one-of-a-kind.. They are in a class all their own... Love Home Free Love my Boys 💓💓💓🏡🆓🏡🍟

[@vickiroman189]

I have had the immense pleasure of seeing them 5 times in 3 different states and can tell you without a doubt that they sound exactly like this in concert. They are just that good.

[@mandysmith1756]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Home Free! Man of Constant Sorrow, End of the Road, Catch me if you can, so many great songs out there. Then check out the beatboxer Adam Rupp and his amazing drum solos.

[@georgefisher1995]

You hear stories of people making “deals with the Devil !”, These guys made “a deal with Angels!” They sing so many songs, from so many different kinds of music, each with a twist or surprise that will always entertain, and never be redundant. Talent that all other a coppela groups aspire to be.

[@hellefur6631]

Welcome to the Home Free rabithole, were there are allways a extra room for another fan. Whatever song you choose to listen to, it would never fail to impress you, with both vocals, harmonies, percussion, arrangement and visual. They often do covers ,but has a way to improve and upgrade/ modernise the songs, but still stay true to the originals. They also has a ton of original songs, both Tim Foust and Austin Brown are skilled songwriters. I recomend that you listen to some of their older songs, and then move up to more reson songs, just to get a gist of their voices and range. "Butts remix", "Country fried pop medley", "Crazy life", "Frend in low places", "Honey I'm good" (especially the live video "Beatbox breakdown") and "Movin on" (Chris Rupp wrote that song, and was his farewell song to the band and fans). Of more reson songs, try "Blue ain't your color", "Crazy" (Austin sings in same key as Patsy Cline), "Cant outrun you". Under the pandemic, the served a new song every 14 days, and it was fantastic for the fans, and resently the released the pandemic album, with a lot of our favorit pandemic songs. Home Free are the one and only country vocal a capella group, and it's difficult to compare to other a capella groups. They are not just country, but covers plenty of music genres, like bluegrass, pop, soul, R&B, rock and christian/ christmas hymns, and they mke every songs sound fantastic. Enjoy the journey down the rabithole.

[@michaelp1496]

Nice reaction. They have so many others to choose from, but I would suggest Bless The Broken Road, One Man Band, and a really fun one is Can’t Stop The Feeling (Justin Timberlake’s hit song).

[@haroldblack6110]

You've just taken the dive down the Home Free rabbit hole! They've got about 200+ videos as a group and even more as individuals. One of their very best is Man Of Constant Sorrow...I watched that video several times, I couldn't believe there were no instruments. Other great ones are How Great Thou Art and Blue Ain't Your Color. A wonderful cover of Fire Straits Helplessly Hoping, and a super great cover of Boyz2Men End of the Road. That's a few to get started. Enjoy the ride and the Home Fries will be right there with you!

[@nightthornkvala94132]

The song itself is 70 years old and alludes to the Nativity Story. This video was done around Christmastime 2015 or 2014 and is done with their usual perfection. Home Free, Pentatonix, and VoicePlay are the three major a cappella groups and are good friends with one another. Avi Kaplan, PTX's bass singer appeared in HF's Ring of Fire video and Home Free and VoicePlay did a video together Zombies vs Hillbillies Survivor.

[@mimigina7439]

Classic Christmas song brought to Perfection: )

[@markwills6452]

That was the best version of that song I have ever heard. Man what talent

[@irenelopez3390]

Welcome to the rabbit hole ❤

[@turtlegirl3694]

I've seem them a few times. They sold just as good in person! Can I suggest their covers of: End of the Road, My Church, Take Me Home Country Roads, Brothers in Arms, Hopeless Helping, and many more. Their Xmas songs are phenomenal too!

[@rhondavieth7851]

Absolutely you must check out home freeze cover of the Crosby stills and Nash helplessly hoping..... But anything you pick from there huge inventory You will be amazed by. I'm getting ready to go to the Dubuque Iowa concert on June 3 and can you hardly wait

[@invinciblefeelings1439]

Loved the reaction, thank you for this reaction video..

[@Cat-fi4ie]

End of the Road by Boyz ll Men Home Frees cover is amazing!! Great reaction

[@vickiadkins9844]

They tour all over the world!!

[@stanrock2225]

Eargasm. They are fire. What a great cover. End of the road from them is a must.

[@yvonnemcmahan9037]

All Home Free songs are the Bomb. They sing all genres. They are a great Acapella group.

[@babyfry4775]

Home Free is the real deal. Like Pentatonix they were on the NBC show the Sing Off and won their season after Pentatonix won. They’ve been doing concerts for years and are amazing. Their beatboxer is amazing and Tim their bass, has a 5 octave range. They sing covers but also write and sing their own songs. Try Brothers in Arms, Helplessly Hoping, One Man Band. Good reaction SBG.😀

[@bobbie1st]

This was one of my least favorite Christmas songs...now this is one of my favorites. Just an fyi, Home Free doesn't block reactors so there is no need to blur any of their videos when reacting to them. This is, imho, by far the best acapella group out there. They do a fantastic cover of Boyz II Men "End Of The Road" that will blow your mind. They are a country acapella group, that won the 4th season of The Sing Off in 2013, but sing a wide variety of music. These guys are my favorite and if you are going to go down this rabbit hole i will gladly sub and go along for the ride. Looking forward to more reactions to Home Free from you. Home fry for life!

[@jasonsomething6003]

Yep another Home Fry is born! SBG Home Free has 13 albums and over 120 videos...yep a rabbit hole of great music indeed!

[@kmwwrench]

What an intro to Home Free. This melts my brain every time I hear it. Try Helplessly Hoping for an awesome display of harmonies in action.

[@sandychisholm1297]

You won’t get bored with thee guy 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@DyvmSlorm]

As Ron hinted below, they are currently on tour. Tomorrow night they are near Minneapolis MN. There will be a few more stops I believe and then they have a little time off but will then be back on the road around July I believe.

[@nanadeborah8717]

Relatively speaking they are near Minneapolis. I'm driving 130 miles from here to the concert site. I'm excited to see them live.

[@DyvmSlorm]

@@nanadeborah8717 You are going to LOVE the show. This will be my second.

[@denise_landry]

Thanks for a fun Home Free reaction - Christmas in May! 😁 Looking forward to more. New sub. 🍟♥️

[@donnam5891]

Oh this is one of my Home Free Favourites. The arrangement by Adam is so complex & the beatboxing especially that breathy bit at the beginning so amazing (also by Adam). The harmonies are stunning and I like that they all get a bit of a solo. Love that little high run of Austin's & Tim's dragon breath & the bit where they do that 4 or 5 octave shift on 'Listen to what I hearat about 5:20 from Tim way down to Austin up with the angels. Many many more to react to. Just throw a dart at their catalogue...all of them are good( leave Mayday till you have listened to 7 or 8 first)🙂💕

[@bettyjblake]

New sub here. Home Free is the deepest and best rabbit hole to go down. Get ready for your subscribers count to go up. US Home Fries love watching reactors experience Home Free. Great reaction! Can't wait for more Home Free reactions! Please wait to react to Mayday until you really know all the guys. Here is a list to get you started: Man of Constant Sorrow How Great Thou Art End of the Road Ring of Fire Hillbilly Bone Butts Medley/Remix The Driver Helplessly Hoping Mayday

[@atowngirl]

Welcome to the rabbit hole! As a side note, Home Free doesn’t strike channels so you don’t have to blur their videos 🥰

[@christineschutten248]

This is one of the best songs I've heard from them.

[@sharonmortimer3843]

The guy that started the song was the bass. The guy they pointed at is the beatboxer. This group was on the same TV show that Pentatonix was on. And won their season. Check out the rabbit hole they have on their channel. Enjoyed watching your reaction to this song.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Thank you for the great reaction, this is my favorite version of this Christmas classic.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

They won the Sing-Off TV show in Dec 2013 and they won a record contract & prize money, but in 2019 they developed their own label homefreemusic & now record under that. I would suggest you react to their originals Catch me if you can, & Dive Bar Saints, or these covers : The Driver (their latest), Brothers in Arms & End of the Road by Boyz2Men.

[@invinciblefeelings1439]

This song is fire 🔥🔥

PLEASE listen to more.. If I know my Home Free family well (Home Fries) , they have already given you suggestions of music. LOL Thanks for the reaction

[@susanbradley5685]

If you're already falling down the Home Free rabbit holes everyone has mentioned, you may as well check out another in the top trio of a cappella groups (with PTX, and Home Free) and watch some Voiceplay. Everything in their playlist is amazing but check out Enemy, Carry on wayward son, Dream On, and just follow that trail.

[@dianefreeman7194]

I can't b r live that you didn't know that this song is a CHRISTMAS CAROL!!!

[@r.d.stratford106]

I really enjoyed this! You've got an easy, comfortable, friendly reaction style. Subscribed, and would love to see more Home Free. My current favorite is their cover of "Try Everything" -- they most often lean country, so to see them take on a Shakira song (and nail it) is a real experience. I'll also recommend checking out Pentatonix and VoicePlay, both a cappella and both brilliant.

[@pennygarrity386]

I'll check back and if you've done more Home Free I'll subscribe. There's thousands of Home Fries that will subscribe for HF reactions. BTW you don't have to blur their videos because they want their music heard so I've never heard of them doing a copy right claim.

[@sherylhenley1931]

Great reaction! You'll definitely have to check out the official video of O Holy Night-amazing harmonies-spectacular finish! Also, When A Man Loves A Woman.

[@dianeritthaler7792]

[@anitawright7169]

They are amazing! Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. You should check out their Boyz II Men cover of End of The Road. There are so many songs they do and they are all good. Hillbilly Bone, When A Man Loves A Woman, How Great Thou Art, Travelin' Soldier. American Pie with Don McClane, Elvira with the Oak Ridge Boys, Little Star of Bethlehem with Oak Ridge Boys and so many more. Tim Foust the bass has a song out called Will You Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. It is awesome. Austin Brown the high tenor has some singles out as well. Bring Him Home, Unchained Melody. Home Free newest one Ain't Goin' Down Till The Sun comes Up is excellent as well. Also Between a Rock and A Heartache it is a funny one.

[@jeffersonfjeld]

I don't think you need to blur it, they generally welcome reactions and are not jerks about it.
