COUPLE React to Home Free - When A Man Loves A Woman | OB DAVE REACTION

[@LynnRamsay]

Austin does amazing job on this song 😊 Tim Foust bass has a 5 + octave range he can sing so low he has blown speakers at concerts and can sing sky high.

[@victorcowboywest]

Tim also is a songwriter, check out one of his songs " CHAMPAGNE TASTE ON A BEER BUDGET "( both solo and with his band mates)

[@timworks991]

Yes, welcome to Home Free, all acapella, no instruments at all. Masters of all musical genres. Organized in a college dorm in Minnesota in 2000; they won the 4th season of the Sing Off in 2013. Two are from Minnesota, one from Georgia, one from Texas and one from Alabama (Current members, Chris left the group in 2016 and was replaced by Chance). Their covers are upgrades, their medleys are brilliant, their collaborations with the original artists are inspirational, and their original songs are masterpieces. Within this 5 man vocal band you have 5 tenors, 5 beat boxers, and 2 bass-baritones. Adam Rupp, one of the original founders of the group, is their beat boxer extraordinaire. All of them can sing lead and they choose depending on whose voice best fits the song. They can do just about anything and they continue to grow and improve, yet they remain so humble. When they have featured guest artist, they support and allow their featured artists to shine. Several of them have their own channels and do some solo work. And just for fun Rob and Austin sing Opera. What else can I say? Their catalogue of work is quite large and continues to grow. You are in for an exciting journey and the Home Fries will be there for you all the way.

[@jaded36]

You guys should keep watching their video's - especially the one they do for Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" - it includes the former base from Pentatonix - and their version of "Man of Constant Sorrow" - Home Free actually has two bass singers and one of them hits extremely low like the Pentatonix bass - maybe even lower

[@arnodobler1096]

And with Don McLean "American Pie"

[@lutherl2350]

Tim actually has a lower range than Avi

[@robertalvey2284]

If you want low check out Do you hear what I hear.

[@pamelagoodman7559]

Home Free styled themselves as an all vocal country band when they won the sing-off in 2013. They do, however, sing about every genre there is…including opera

[@blaizeburley8673]

These guys are so fun to listen to. I love them.

[@donaldpaulson3920]

Tim foust is the bass, he has solo stuff, "can't help falling in love" shows his range pretty good, has the most range I've ever heard, he gets pretty deep on "a man of constant sorrow" with homefree, a lot of songs lol

[@gk5891]

Dave you are a very lucky man. It's.not simping when every compliment is deserved.

[@anitawright7169]

Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. It runs deep. Austin killed this! The harmonies and beat boxing are par excellence. Home Free in my opinion are one of the best acapella groups around.They do different genres. Keep reacting to them and watch your subscriptions go up. Percy Sledge would definitely be proud. Love your reactions!

[@tamarawagner2157]

Keep watching more home free you will love all their videos

[@ImaCatMaia]

I agree Dave, I really wish they hadn't faded out his high run at the end! And you know what, I LOVE the mushiness between you two 😊 It makes me smile; so sweet I have to take insulin because my glucose level spikes up. Haha jk on that last part - but seriously, I love this song, and this was a great reaction! 😍

[@aaronjl18]

You two are awesome together! I love how Ash melted when Austin started singing - and her smile never faltered throughout the entire song - she was enraptured. Anyone who says you're simping for Ash is just jealous of what y'all have. Since Ash loves the bass - y'all should check out Brothers in Arms (Dire Straits cover) or Folsom Prison Blues (Johnny Cash cover).

[@golfr-kg9ss]

Well done Dave. Made your girl smile with this song.

[@jerrybaker2857]

If she misses the "old style songs", show her Tim Foust's doo wop songs from his album "Pieces of Me Vol. 1". To compare Tim (bass for Home Free) to Avi Kaplan (bass for PTX) show "Ring of Fire" by Home Free featuring Avi.

[@tonyzook8984]

U got yourself a keeper Dave 💪🏻

[@jankreps5115]

You need to hear Austin singing unchained Melody by himself!! Another mine blowing performance!

[@itzel1735]

HomeFree is more country than Pentatonix. For Christmas, try “Christmas in LA” or “What Christmas Means to Me” for an upbeat song. “Do You Hear What I Hear” is older, but a very interesting version.

[@Tessie46255]

These guys are my favorite!! They are just enough country to suit me. Love them. Thanks for reacting. Please bring us more Home Free! ❤❤❤

[@Fgenesis315]

More pleeeeeease🙏🏼

[@tygerbrite]

Oh yes! Discovering #homefree will give you more pleasure than you could have imagined. They're food for the soul, and seriously addictive. Amazing singers, each of them, and unbelievable harmonies. Their recent release of Stand by Me is great. And if you want a Christmas tune, check out their Do You Hear What I Hear, arranged by their beatboxer, Adam Rupp.

[@vvcougar71]

By far my favorite song by Home Free. Great job guys.

[@mikolaimooronomous3893]

their cover of End of the Road by Boys II Men might be a fun one to react to

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

My favorite vocal band will turn you into an a cappella fan, and in my case, taught me to enjoy country music as well as many other genres that my classical training had avoided! Their diversity is incredible, the talents and skills phenomenal, and arrangements creative. Follow them and you'll get a swarm of HF fans following you! HF never lets me down.

[@belinda9696]

They have such great harmony.

[@DanMcCall-g3b]

Very nice reaction, and you are a very nice couple! You should react to HF's Stargazer Lilies to see who Austin was singing to in Man Loves A Woman.

[@grandmakaren4680]

I agree❤

[@rllangevin3841]

Actually Austin wrote a trilogy for his now wife called Stargazer Trilogy: Chapter 1 - Give Me A Sign Chapter 2 - Stargazer Lilies Chapter 3 - Mr. Then follow that with Playing With Fire ❤️‍🔥

[@michaellarusch4317]

Love these guys and Voiceplay! Austin actually had his fiancee sitting there while he was singing. They all killed this song! I think Percy Sledge would be proud....

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

So glad that yall enjoyed this, it aint simping, yall just keep enjoying each other! I read the comments and they already express what I thought, hehe.

[@mitch8020]

I love that you love your wife so much you’d pick out a song like this because she loves PTX and it’s a love song. A real man reacts to love songs with his girl if he friggin wants

[@MonicaGoodwin-qz5gd]

😍 Austin ❤️‍🔥🔥. Wonderful reaction. Cute couple.

[@vaughncollar8014]

Home Free is so good on songs like this, also country, folk, soft rock. Austin is sooo good as a lead, and their beat boxer is just spectacular. PTX is good but they really don’t seem to venture outside of a comfort zones Next a capella to cover are the “theater kids”, Voice Play. That’s yet another rabbit hole to fall into. Their bass, Geoff (pronounced Jeff) Castelucci, is utterly brilliant

[@andoobs2]

fun fact the bass from home free actually taught Avi from pentatonics how to develop his bass range more and reach the subharmonics

[@patriciamcl54]

This struck me as a peculiarly pointless exercise. I don't know why Americans are obsessed with measuring things and making things bigger. Music is an art, not a competitive sport, but people talk as if Tim's 5 octaves was a badge of honour, as if he is somehow a better singer because he goes so low. Personally I am not very interested in the bass voice. Tim's upper register (as in Give Me a Sign) is lovely but I prefer Geoff and particularly Avi when it comes to the lower levels.

[@andoobs2]

@@patriciamcl54 you wanted to talk about pointless exercises ... that waffling comment was one of them

[@StevesTubes]

These guys are amazing! This is a fantastic rabbit hole. Try their "End of the Road" next.

[@John-hr9ec]

Their cover of Mayday is incredible!

[@mrsmissy2669]

Home Free is my favorite a cappella band and I will be there if you react to more. I really like their cover of Listen to the Music by Doobie Brothers, The Butt Medley of various songs about butts (gotta hear it to believe it!), and Helplessly hoping by Crosby, Stills and Nash with a 5 part harmony.

[@hamblinta]

You have to check out their cover of “Do You Hear What I Hear,” and “O Holy Night” as well as their original “Christmas In LA,” and “Mary Did You Know.” They are all excellent, you won’t be disappointed!

[@TreyM1609]

Homefree has a bunch of good covers. I really like their version of “man of constant sorrow “ as well. They even did “friends in low places”

[@757optim]

I saw Percy Sledge do this song live in a small club in Virginia Beach back in the day. The bandstand barely held Percy and the band, the people had to sit on the dance floor so he could be seen and he was close enough to throw a glass of beer on him. I wondered if he would sound anything like the recording. He killed it, along with "It Tears Me Up", "Out Of Left Field", "Cover Me", "Take Time To Know Her", "Warm And Tender Love"... - unforgettable performance.

[@sonnyharrelson3897]

Three songs you really need to check out by Home Free are, 1. Listen to the Music, 2. Man of Constant Sorrow, and Sea Shanty Medley. Oh there is more but these 3 will show the pure talent these guys have.

[@garyzink1927]

Butts medly, American pie, God bless the USA too! Happy Holidays

[@Randy-r4e]

The guy from Pentatonic (Avi Kaplan) actually sings with Home Free on their cover of "Ring Of Fire". He has a very low register but so does Tim Foust. Geoff Castellucci (spl?), of the group Voice Play, has a boomingly low register. The singers all know one another and collaborate fairly often. A Capela groups are a fairly small universe. This song was a showcase for Austin. Catch their version of "How Great Thou Art" with the Swiss Alps as backdrop. Parts of that sound like there is a pipe organ. Good reaction, thanks. I might simp for her too if I knew what that meant.

[@tracyallshouse2730]

Subscribed for #HomeFree reactions, I truly enjoyed y'all's reaction today❣🤗

[@5864665]

I love the way she smiles through the whole video . Her smile makes me smile

[@dagmar.6954]

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.

[@beldavius]

Ash's stank-face is so cute!

[@SequatchieVOL]

Tim the bass singer says 'hold my beer' with the low note challenge thrown out there....must react to more.

[@richarddaugherty8583]

Austin Brown (the lead singer) and his then girlfriend (now wife) were the only ones in the studio and she's behind the camera. All those seductive looks were aimed at her. Austin has musical theatre training and is a lyric tenor. Every one of the group has a fantastic voice, even Adam Rupp, the beatboxer. The lead for any given song depends on who's best for the song. You should absolutely go down this Home Free rabbit hole! You will not be disappointed. There are a few songs I recommend: Brothers in Arms (by Dire Straits), Helplessly Hoping (by Crosby, Stills, and Nash), the Sea Shanty Medley (has 36 million views!), and End of the Road (Boys to Men). Also, extracurricular songs (they all do them) are: Bring Him Home, by Austin (have tissues), and Nessun Dorma by Austin and Rob. Also My Maria on Austin's back deck with Tim Foust, who has a five octave range and sings tenor on that one. They never disappoint! Also Delta Dawn! If anything their covers are better than the originals. Love your reactions! You guys are cute together. I've been married to the love of my life for 41 years now. May you surpass me!

[@bella-xp7qd]

You haven't heard Tim's low bass yet. He has gone so low that he blew the speakers at a show. Avi Kaplan is the bass from Pentatonix he has performed with Home Free in the song Ring Of Fire. Geoff Castellucci from another acepello group Voice Play has credited Tim with helping him with his bass voice. Brothers In Arms is a good one for Tim's bass. They do serious songs as well as funny ones. They sing different genres.

[@scifibob]

In my opinion, this was not the best introduction to Home Free, but I hope you will introduce more covers later. I had my own thoughts when she compared the bass to Pentatonics. You just wait and see.

[@ARNM55-l9v]

Older American here. This should be your song. You guys are a beautiful couple. Watching how Ash looks at you & how you interact with her is magical. You two are truly blessed & very lucky. May the magic & the flame last a lifetime.

[@babyfry4775]

It’s a good one. This was during Covid so I thought the use of tvs was clever. Tim (the bass) has a very low voice, he’s just not going there on this song. He helped both basses Avi of PTX and Geoff of Voiceplay to go lower. Home Free was very active during Covid and put out lots of music and helped me keep sane. Try some Christmas music, Mary Did You Know, O Holy Night, Christmas in LA. Enjoy! 😍😃

[@harolddorsey9179]

Homefree is better in my opinion. They can sing anything. PTX are good but basically sound and arranged the same. Tim can go way,way,way lower .

[@cowboy1165]

Tim Foust, the bass from Home Free has a 5 octave voice range from B-0 to A-5 plus he helped Avi and Geoff reach their deep bass. Christmas is coming and you could bless a new subscriber by reacting to Home Free "Do You Hear What I Hear." New subscriber for Home Free.

[@JasonGilbert-yl8hf]

Percy Sledge is the original singer... MUST LISTEN TO HIS VERSION...BEAUTIFUL:)

[@normanhutcheson812]

Welcome to the Home Free rabbit-hole! Jump right in! If you want low, low, LOW notes, react to Tim Foust’s (bass extrodinare) cover of “Misty Mountain”! I promise you, you won’t be disappointed! Peter Hollens is also singing with him on it. They sound amazing together.

[@Linda-w8d]

God, he uses his eyes in such a "flirty" way by looking right into the camera with his message....absolutely captivating.

[@patriciamcl54]

Thanks for your reaction. I think the fade out actually works, although at first hearing I felt a bit cheated by it. Austin has gone to the limit in intensity and musically, and there's nowhere left for him to go except soaring up. We feel he could go on all day (which he probably could) with those glorious clear notes, but the song has to end some time. So we leave our lovely tenor wandering up there completely dazed with how much in love he feels. Any form ending would feel like a downer.

[@markperry6176]

Great reaction y’all.

[@gailshepard-cook6350]

Beautiful Timeless Song.

[@Indigo_moon]

Speaking of Avi, he's in a music video with Home Free, "Ring of Fire". If you watch it, you will see how low Tim (Home Free's bass) can go. He can actually sing lower than Avi. I read an interview where Scott from PTX said that Tim helped train Avi with his lower notes. I've heard he also helped Geoff, the bass from Voiceplay. Tim has a 5 octave range and considered an OG of a cappella bassists.

I totally agree with Dave on the fade-out. I would have loved to hear Austin's high riffing at the end at full volume. And I had to smile when Austin started singing and Ash froze. 🙂 Definitely check out more Home Free! Tim's solo material would be worth a look, too. And for something completely different, I'll bring up Ayreon again because I think you two would really like that project. A good starting point would be: Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down - The Source (2017) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXfYfn6ap9-Dp7csi=EnMxYMWQIPL8IZHF It is the video basically everyone starts with. But the text-pop ups with background information from the composer/producer make it a really good first video if you don't know then yet.

[@1234uz]

Ya got to check out Man of Constant Sorrow by them

[@michaelbryant6275]

Ya'll should listen to them sing Listen to the music a cover of the Doobie Brothers . Although most of their songs are country based, they've covered everything from Patsy Cline to Dire Straits. They're amazing

Tim, the lower bass, hits the lowest C on the keyboard, in Skull and Bones. A song commissioned by Ubisoft for a new game, written by Chance, the other bass, baritone!

If Ash likes that kind of stuff check out Homefrees cover of Thinking Out Loud/Lets Get It On. Its an oldie but a goodie! Its when Chris Rupp was still in the group a great cover! I actually prefer Adam Chance, Chris Rupps Replacement cause he can carry the bass line when time goes high.

[@roysquires287]

Keep up the fun romance. Home Free is an amazing group of individual talents that seem to really like being together and performing. They respect one another and it seems that when they are not making you laugh, cry, or think, they work at getting the women worked up emotionally with winks, nods and come on signs. All of the boys are married, and apparently happily so. Don't worry about simping with HF she loves it. Tim Foust, the bass, regularly performs in the 0 registry, their other bass singer, Adam "Chance" usually performs in the baritone range, unless Tim is singing as a tenor, his lowest note is only slightly higher than Tim's as of the last indication, Tim has been performing more in the higher registers. Adam Rupp, the beat boxer, has an amazing range though I have not seen anyone tracking his actual voice on the scales. Rob, the beard, is an operatic baritone and tenor, and has mastered most of the techniques in modern music, his voice is perfection. And then there is Austin, the lead in this little ditty, Tim talked him into doing this song, but he is just a perfect fit into the group and his smile is as infectious IRL as it is captured on the film, and from testimonials, has the same affect on the women everywhere he goes. The comments on songs where Tim and Austin are featured together tend to approach a lewd interpretation. Like any of the Home Fries watching, this could go on for hours, so I apologize for over indulging with my personal observations and encouragements to continue watching Home Free, even if it is not as a reaction.

You really need to check out Home Free's "Ring of fire" featuring Avi Kaplan (Pentatonix base)... Having both Tim and Avi in one video shows how different their voices are. I personally believe Tim can go lower but, Avi is more crisp as far as base notes are concerned. And as far as your relationship goes, you could have said "2 1/2 years in and the bathroom door stays open" 🤣

[@steveray9655]

"Simp" all you want, you two! Many female reactors have commented about Austin flirting with the camera. The fact is, his then-fiancee was in the studio with him, and he was singing to her. If you enjoy deep, bass voices, you should definitely check out Voiceplay. Their bass singer, Geoff Castellucci, has an inhuman range. I say that, assuming you haven't already. If/when you do, you should check out their cover of "Oogie Boogie's Song" from "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Geoff also has a solo channel, and has a cover of "Mele Kalikimaka" (sp?) featuring The American Sirens.

Just off camera his fiancé Amberly was sitting in the studio with him. He was singing this song to her, that's those looks at the camera she was just beside the camera. Come on girls, tell the truth, could you not melt if he was singing to you? Give their cover of "How great thou Art". We even get to hear Adam Rupp the beat boxer singing in his beautiful Alto voice.
