That dude with the beard is Rob Lundquist and this was filmed in the Austrian Alps. Rob sings Nessun Dorma with Austin, yes its opera

[@kristindunstan172]

Whenever, Adam Rupp (the beatboxer) sings, it's a real treat for us Home Fries. He has a beautiful tenor voice, but usually sticks to the beatboxing. This is one of the VERY few songs where he actually sings a solo on the melody (even though it's only for a couple of lines).

[@johnwillis4706]

Adam Rupp is an Alto. The very high notes in the harmonies is Adam. But you are right, he has a beautiful voice.

[@kristindunstan172]

@@johnwillis4706 , if Adam is an Alto, then you would have to call Austin an Alto, too. I’m an Alto and they can both sing higher than I can. As men, I think they would both be considered to have Tenor I voices. I’m curious now to find a video of Adam’s range; I haven’t seen one in a while. Each of the guys has an amazing voice in his own way.

[@kristindunstan172]

The group started over 20 years ago. This was in or after 2016 because Chance is with them instead of Chris (Adam's brother). They are singing in the beautiful Austrian Alps.

[@retiredslamjamm]

This is one of the most sung Christian Hymns in church. 100's of artists have recorded, including Elvis , Carrie Underwood. Made more popular by George Beverly Shea during Billy Graham crusades. Home Free added a Chorus of "It is well with my Soul", another well sung hymn.

[@dianadickerson749]

The only version I truly love. There's a reason for this having over 20 million views.

[@brendasorenson6186]

Austrian Alps. Written in the 1880s in Sweden using an old Swedish folk song and brought to the US by Swedish immigrants. This is my favorite version of this classic hymn. BTW, Home Free released a new song Monday called Skull and Bones for the soon-to-be release video game Skull and Bones. Oh. My. Goodness. It's the lyric video (with the trailer for the video game). It'll blow the two of you out of the water! (Pun intended)

[@pamelagoodman7559]

Rob (with the beard) is a tenor. He often has leads

[@janarookswood4395]

This was filmed in the Swiss Alps during their Euro tour several years ago before the pandemic

[@miamidolphinsfan]

it's all them, believe it or not...yes this is an old Swedish Lutheran hymn that came with the immigrants in the late 1800's. This was filmed in the Austrian Alps, not far from where the famous opening sequence of the Sound of Music was filmed. I have it in my Will that this version by Home Free be played at my memorial service,

[@candleburner2006]

If I remember correctly they were in Austria when they recorded this. They were in Europe on tour when they found this location and took advantage of it. It was real water flowing when it's being heard before and after they sing. I would have to say that most definitely have not ever heard the original as it's about 200 years old. Rob - the bearded one - has the most amazing voice. He's a classically trained singer and that comes out in the duet he sang with Austin in Messum Dorma, something that's completely mind blowing. He's also got his silly side - maybe not the right word - but he has the lead in their cover of 9 to 5 but he also has the lead in When Will I Be Loved and Never Going To Give You Up.

[@lynnramsay8821]

This song was filmed in the Austrian Alps and is a very old hymn. You are one of the few reactor that notice Adams amazing voice. Rob ( Beard and glasses ) lead song Catch Me If You Can ( Original) End Of The Road Spaceship Country Roads I Swear When Will I Be Loved Blue Ain’t Your Colour Never Goin To Give You Up Also For something completely different than anything you heard from Home Free They just released an original written by Chance Skull and Bones it’s for the video game Skull And Bones Ubisoft is releasing soon.They have a Lyric video and they sang it Live at Ubisoft Live Premiere You guys really need to have headphones or earbuds to get the full experience of A Cappella there are so many sounds you miss without them.

[@minneyruth]

Adam the beatboxer his voice is super pretty 😍 ❤

[@pennygarrity386]

Thank you. You're one of the few reactors who actually realized Adam was singing instead of beatboxing. He has a naturally beautiful voice but doesn't like to take the lead because he hasn't been vocally trained like the others. Unless he's beatboxing most reactors seem to forget he's even there.

[@ppresley9208]

I've always loved the passionate version of this from Elvis ... but Home Free sounds like a choir of angels singing ! Now I have two favorites ... TCB Elvis and Home Free !

[@andreahamilton5947]

In their From the Vault series, they show the making of this video. I get chills every time I hear them sing this.

[@scottdarden3091]

Their cover of My Church, is what takes me to Church 😊

[@babyfry4775]

I would say there’s no original of this, just that many have sung it. I’ve sung it in church many times. It’s so beautiful and their version is one of my favorites! Their harmonies are so good. Tim is the bass and started the song. (He’s cut his hair in future videos during Covid and some gray has come in.) Austin (redhead) is the high tenor. Rob (glasses) is the tenor. Chance (looks a little like Leo DiCaprio) is the baritone/bass. Adam (beatboxer) sang “it is well” and has a nice tenor voice when he sings. This was filmed in the Austrian Alps when they were touring there. They just released a new song called Skull & Bones. Chance wrote the song for the game. It’s a banger and Tim goes insanely low. I know you’re having trouble with headphones synching but they really help. Great reaction you two! 😃😍

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

Headphone syncing wasn't the issue at the time. Headphone affording was more accurate, but we have them now. But there are still about 30 something reactions without headphones

[@doobiedave9686]

Church hymns like this are perfect for a cappella harmonies like Home Free has. My mother used to watch the Billy Graham Crusades when I was growing up and the first time that I heard this song it was back in the mid 1960's and it was sung by George Beverly Shea.

[@ShyAnn291]

This is the first song by them I played for my mom, and the last song I played for her at her funeral a year ago.

[@pamelagoodman7559]

When you are able, headphones give you a complete experience of how they sound. You’ll hear things you cannot hear without them. Especially the subharmonic notes by Tim.

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

We batch react to videos and still have quite a few left without headphones. Plus side for all the Home Fries that have been asking is this is the last Home Free reaction without headphones

[@anitawright7169]

This is so beautiful. I absolutely love this version of this song. If you noticed the beat boxer sang in this one. He has beautiful tenor voice. Love your reactions!

[@roniboyd613]

Great reaction! This video was shot in The Alps-somewhere! Adam (beat boxer) has a beautiful voice and you can hear more of him in "Listen To The Music". "End of the Road" is a great choice to hear Rob (beard) sing, he kills it😉

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Austrian Alps.

[@roniboyd613]

@@barbarakennedy2667 Thank you for clarifying the location for me😊

[@daleb1279]

Yes, very near where they filmed the Sound of Music.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

@@roniboyd613 you are very welcome.

[@timworks991]

"How Great Thou Art" is based on an original Swedish hymn written in 1885 by Carl Boberg. The English version of the hymn and its title are a loose translation by the English missionary Stuart K. Hine in 1949. The beautiful location where they are singing is in the Austrian Alps. This is a very popular Hymn sung all the time in churches everywhere. Home Free's angelic and choir like rendition is just masterful. All their covers are so well done, staying true to the original while adding their own special touch. And their original songs are just another level of fantastic. They have been turning out a lot of original material lately. Loving it. Looking forward to your next reaction.

[@patriciawoyczik1657]

This is just the most beautiful vocal harmonies ever....it doesn't get any better than this!

[@joanwharff6483]

This got to be the Most Beautiful version I’ve Ever heard🙏❤️‼️ LOL…Rob …beard & glasses…we call him “gospel Rob”…or Teddy Bear…he’s got such a sweet tenor voice 🫶🏼🙃‼️

[@reginaminton1135]

Beautiful song. We used to sing it at the church I went to. All of the guys did it so well. This is in the Austrian Alps. They were very happy to be there. Thanks for a great reaction.

[@scottdarden3091]

One of the few times we get to hear Adam Rupp sing 😊

[@teresacartwright5406]

The best rendition of this hymn I've ever heard - just beautiful. This was filmed in the Austrian Alps and the scenery is simply gorgeous. You might also like their collaboration with the Oak Ridge Boys on "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem". When Austin was a kid he sometimes traveled & sang with his father's gospel quartet in Georgia and that comes through in some of their songs, especially "My Church" and the aforementioned collaboration.

[@bernieregnier4500]

This song was sung for decades at the Billy Graham Crusades all over the world literallly. For many years as indicated by others by George Beverly Shea. The rendition by Home Free is an amazing version as their harmonies are incredible and their arrangement is extraordinary good. ❣

[@marshac7738]

This song definitely makes me emotional--Home Free's version is my very favorite version of all the many, many I have heard 😍 Besides the unbelievable harmonies--and gorgeous backdrop of the Austrian Alps--getting to hear Adam Rupp's sweet tenor actually singing is a real treat ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️

[@sandralorenz1796]

They are in the Austrian Alps. This song was written in 1885. It is a Swedish hymn translated into English in 1949. Home Free does such a wonderful job on this. The phrase "it is well with my soul" is part of a different hymn.

[@denise_landry]

Thanks guys! 🖤🍟

[@johnwillis4706]

This was recorded last year during their European tour. It was recorded in the Austrian Alps. Adam Rupp the beat boxer sings in this song, he has a beautiful Alto voice. All the very high notes in this song are Adam. This is one of the VERY few songs in which Adam sings, enjoy.

[@lefty3141591]

You got me curious, so I looked it up. This is based off of a Swedish poem from the 1800s. The english song as you heard hear was written in 1949. Many groups have recorded this. I always thought the Statler Brothers did a particuarly good job with this song. Of course it goes without saying that the Home Free version is outstanding. Great reaction.

[@billprice8596]

This beautiful hymn was written by Carl Boberg, a Swede in 1885 as a poem. He was walking home and suddenly he was in a thunderstorm. When the storm began to relent, he rushed home. He opened his windows to let in the fresh bay air, and the vision of tranquility that greeted him stirred something deep in his soul. The sky had cleared. Thrushes sang, and in the distance, the resonant knell of church bells sounded. He was so moved, he sat down and wrote “O Store Gud”-the poem that, through a winding series of events would become “How Great Thou Art.” It was finally translated into English in the 1940s, so yes it is a cover and has been song by many artists including Elvis.

[@roberthudson1959]

The one quibble that I have with the review is that this hymn was tagged as "gospel" when it predates the genre.

[@SimonOien-sf7sj]

This cover made me so happy! One of my favorite bands singing one of my favorite songs. Singing this in church with over 300 people is truly amazing and it always gets me choked up. Also the story behind It Is Well (about the original writer) is compelling. It's sad but still inspiring and hopeful.

[@m.harrison2151]

You should ALWAYS use headphones or buds to listen to Home Free, you will hear so much more!

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

We couldn't afford everything we needed. It was around $100 and we were broke. We have them now

[@Rkbmomma]

Thank you for your reaction. This is such a beautiful, emotional hymn, emblematic of a Christian's feelings and relationship about God and their Savior, Jesus Christ. Home Free did the song justice and not too over the top.

[@KeatingChick]

This song is based on an old Swedish hymn, written in 1885. It was loosely translated in 1949. A well known song and if you're not a Christian you probably wouldn't have heard it.

[@richb313]

This was filmed on their European Tour not too long before they had to leave due to covid. The location is the Austrian Alps no too far from where the opening scene of "The Sound of Music" was filmed.

[@annehffry3284]

It was one of their European tours, but an earlier one (2016, I think) when they filmed this. A time when all the chaos that covid would eventually cause would have been unimaginable.

[@daviddavison3970]

Try Everything by these guy's is great

[@LAAvgRay]

This video was actually filmed in the Austrian Alps.

[@melissakay6143]

Adam the beatboxer makes crashing wave water sounds also in "Sea Shanty Medley" on the last song, and if you know Middle Earth, then you should check out "Misty Mountain" with Tim Foust, the bass in Home Free, and another fellow they collaborate with, his name is Peter Hollens. It's a great one too!

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

Is that a cover of Led Zeppelin?

[@MonguSu1952]

GO BACK AND LISTEN AGAIN with headphones and YOU WILL BE AMAZED at how much sound quality you've missed from ANY OF HOME FREE'S songs!

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

We may revisit some of our songs at some point in the future with headphones now that we were able to afford them. Turns out all the stuff needed costs around $100

[@cowboy1165]

Good catch, Kathy. Adam sings in a few songs that beatboxing's not required, like, "Brothers in Arms" and "Helplessly Hoping." give those a listen and reaction for more tight harmonies. ✌ Subscribed for more ACapella. and Home Free.

[@MarketingMinute177]

Ya'll need to check out songs from their 2019 album. "Dive Bar Saints" is one of my favorites along with "Catch Me If You Can". Third song suggestion would be "Dreamer" ft. Texas Hill. I greatly enjoy your reactions to Home Free and look forward to seeing yall react to these song suggestions in the near future.

[@rllangevin3841]

Great suggestions!

[@jackiestone3468]

I wish y’all had head phones makes it so much clearer❤ I love their version of How Great Thou Art. Just beautiful ❤. Great reaction 🎉 I love Home Free😊

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

We didn't then because of the cost, but we were able to scrape together a little money for headphones

If you want to hear more of Rob (with the beard) check out End of the Road -If you really want to be blown away check out 2 country singers try singing Opera

[@patriciab8876]

Intro reminds me of the Jeopardy uproar when no one knew the missing word in the Lord's Prayer recently.

[@jeffreyjacobs390]

TWO HYMNS ARE COMBINED here within THE MAIN - "How Great Thou Art" .... with "It Is Well With My Heart" excerpt inserted for effect.

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

It's possible Ace was thinking of It Is Well With My Heart for the one he heard before. Really cool they combined them

[@rllangevin3841]

New 🇨🇦 sub. Here for more Home Free! Some musts to hear each take the lead are: End of the Road (for Gospel Rob) I Can’t Outrun You (for Chance; also Adam sings throughout) Crazy (for Austin) Leave This Town (for Tim) Some where they all shine: One Man Band The Gambler Take Me Home County Roads Castle on the Hill

[@beadwright]

When they are all singing 5 part harmony, HF is magical. Try Helplessly Hoping, Brothers in Arms, or Auld Lang Syne for more 5 part harmonies. As gorgeous as this video is, I prefer the live, off mic, version they did in Kearney Neb. Where they came out in a storm to sing to the folks taking shelter in a pavilion after their concert had to be cancelled. They hopped on a picnic table and these 5 guys sang this song live. The storm was raging, but it was so amazing.

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

That's really cool that they did that

[@dawnmanzetti1633]

The best version of this hymn- in my opinion

[@user-cy7un3on6p]

Thats is peaceful song

[@robertscherer963]

Try this song by Carrie Underwood/Vince Gill. Totally Outstanding!!!

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

We'll add it to our comparisons list

[@upbeat4everiluvmycountry861]

You should listen to Home Free's "Ring of Fire" and Adam Rupp's "Drum Solo".

[@steby123]

The guy with the strong beard is Rob Lunquist and one of the better tenor voices you can hear !!!!! The water sound is very likely Adam Rupp the beatboxer and odd noise maker .

[@gerdbucher543]

the video is made in tirol a small landscape between italy, austria und switzerland
