Opera Singer Reacts - Man of Constant Sorrow || Home Free

[@kellytressler7671]

Love your enthusiastic reactions to music. Rob and Austin did Nessun Dorma a little bit ago and I think you would appreciate it. Rob actually trained to sing opera for a while before coming to join Home Free and Austin was trained for Broadway. I hope you add it to your list!❤

[@neighbourlady]

I was going to suggest this!! Would love to see this reaction!!

[@lkayh]

I third this one. Now that I know he’s familiar with Austin’s and Rob’s voices, I really, really want to know what he thinks of Nessun Dorma.

[@joanwharff6483]

It will be under AUSTIN BROWN…”Two Country Boys Try To Sing Opera”‼️

[@georgemegaw9019]

Yeah - what they said

[@nanadeborah8717]

I gave him the link.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Austin is from Georgia and Tim is from Texas, Chance is from Alabama, so the accent is mostly natural.

[@pamscarr8696]

Filmed in south Alabama. lots of humidity, lots of rain and a perfect place for the setting of this piece.

[@audreyjohnson4599]

Home Free isn't just country. They do doowop, 50s sound, sea shanties, working with other stars such as Kenny Rogers and Don McLean, soul and other genres. Austin, Tim and Chance also have their own websites where they perform solo.

[@GaiaOne]

That Southern twang you love comes naturally to the Home Free men. Austin's drawl was so thick when he first joined HF that Tim had to "translate" for him.

[@patriciamcl54]

This is a myth. Austin had been knocking around the world for years, making himself understood without difficulty.

[@GaiaOne]

@@patriciamcl54 I first heard the story in a video told by the HF men. Yeah, I know Austin had been "knocking around" for years. Didn't Home Free first meet him when he was singing on a cruise ship? Anyway, thanks for the info.

[@DanMcCall-g3b]

Bud, you do a good nomonica!

[@pamscarr8696]

Rob, the other tenor, is classically trained. Austin is theatrically trained. AND, in my opinion, Adam Rupp is the best of the Best in not just beatboxing but also his ability to make greats with his voice. Take for instance, him being able to make the harmonica sounds.

[@GaiaOne]

Castanets. His castanets in the Sea Shanty medley just came out of nowhere and blew me away.

[@anniedh600]

Plus Adam sings tenor too. He doesn’t just beat box. They are all so talented!

[@vickiadkins9844]

Home Free, the best of the very best!!! Seen them live 6 times. Nobody like them!!

[@scottdarden3091]

Opra and Beatboxer you've come to the right place 😁😁 they do both! Adam Rupp drum Solo and Two Country Singers Try Singing Opra

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Every sound in the video is created by mouth, including the old record crackle at the beginning. They can play up the country twang, or turn it off, depending on the song. Adam Chance created the mouth harp sounds using throat singing. Austin and Tim come by their sourhern rwang naturally. Austin is from Georgia, and Tim is from Texas.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Actually, they all can beatbox. They did a video for Dolly Parton's 9 to 5, placing in and office setting. In concert they did 9 to 5 + Beatboxing Breakdown, adding their humor and their beatboxing talent. The instrument Chance is mimicking is called jaw harp, juice harp, mouth harp, or jews harp, depending on the Southern location. To get a great example of how deep Tim's bass can go check out the various versions of Home Free's Your Man. And please don't pass on Home Free Concert Morrison, IL 8/19/15. The whole 27 minutes is a lot of fun, with their great singing, they humor, and their byplay with the audience. Your Man starts right after the bit at 6:45 and thing start to go hilariously wrong.

[@lindanearing4710]

The other 4 can do basic beatbox, but not even close to the skill level of Adam Rupp. He's world class.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

@@lindanearing4710 that's true, but it's still fun to see Austin join Adam with his own nomonica.

[@sag2horses]

REALLY ENJOYED YOUR REACTION, MORE HOME FREE PLEASE

[@SarahAden-zb3np]

Austin is the best high tenor and Tim is the best bass,Home Free is my favorite group. The harmonies are great. 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@anitawright7169]

Home Free are extremely talented. Every sound you hear comes from their mouths. They do different genres. They also have a lot of originals too. Check out their cover of End of The Road by BOYZ II Men, a beautiful Christian song How Great Thou Art, also a Johnny Cash cover of Ring of Fire. Something else you would like is Nessun Dorma done by Rob Lundquist and Austin Brown. It will blow your mind. There are so many more. Love your analysis and reaction!

[@debbiehall9091]

This is one of their most popular songs. CK out Between a Rock and a Hard Place ❤️❤️❤️

[@LynnRamsay]

Great Reaction!! Welcome to Home Free rabbit hole. The group started in 2000/2001( there’s contention on the year)by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp They won The Sing Off season 4 2013 that's where they became very popular. They are the only country A Capella ( all vocals no instruments)group but they are honestly do so so much more than just country music they can sing any genre and they do. There is no Lead singer in the group.They each ( except Adam )sing the song and who’s ever voice or voices sound right for the song gets the lead unless is a bass/ baritone song then that’s Tim or Chance.A lot of time they each have a part in the song. Fans of Home Free are known as Home Fries and are very loyal to the guys. Adam Rupp: Beatboxer Extraordinaire can make almost 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. Rob Lundquist :Lead tenor(beard and glasses) Very soulful voice and master whistler from Minneapolis,Minnesota Tim Foust :Bass (had long dark hair now short with grey ) 5+ octave range can go so low he blows speakers or sky high from Nederland,Texas Austin Brown:High Tenor ( Long wavy hair )Voice of an angel from Tifton Georgia.He will be leaving the group in the fall. Adam Chance(Aka Chance):Baritone/Bass Deep,rich voice(Does the juice harp sound in Man Of Constant Sorrow) has short dark hair short beard from Baldwin County,Alabama.Replaced Chris Rupp ( Adams Brother and co founder in 2016) They have collaborated with many singers and legends Don McLean: Vincent (newest release) Don McLean:American Pie Oak Ridge Boys:Elvira Kenny Rodgers:Children Go Where I Send Thee (Please watch the end message) Billy Gilman:One Voice Alabama:Christmas In Dixie Mark Wills:Don’t Laugh At Me ( important message at the end ) Lee Greenwood & US Airforce Band:God Bless The USA Any many many more. They have 3 amazing songwriters in the group Tim,Austin and Chance so they have a very large playlist of covers and original songs End of the Road (Boyz 2 Men cover ) When A Loves A Woman Helplessly Hoping (5 part harmony masterpiece ) Unchained Melody Butts Medley/ Remix Listen To The Music Can’t Outrun You Brothers In Arms Stargazer Trilogy( All Originals written by Austin) Give Me A Sign ( Chapter 1) Stargazer Lilies( Chapter 2) MR ( mister) (Chapter 3) Skull And Bones ( original written by Chance for Ubisoft new video game Skull And Bones) Might As Well Be Me ( Original) Playing With Fire ( Original) Remember My Name (Original) Oh Pretty Woman Life Is A Highway Stand By Me Cruise I Want Crazy Colder Weather Ring Of Fire ( 2024 version) Jump Right In Any Way The Wind Blows I’ve Seen Mayday(DON’T WATCH TILL YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE GROUP AND THEIR RANGES ) There's not a song that you pick from their 200+ catalog that is bad I haven't found one yet. They are just funny, down to earth, humble nice guys.They are the best A Cappella group there is IMO Sorry for the long read 🏠🍟

[@Heliopope]

Dude, to see someone this amped about talent, production, harmony, etc.. makes me smile, because it truly is such incredible work/talents. Keep up the great reactions, would love to see more people learn from someone as positively enthusiastic as yourself

[@babyfry4775]

Great reaction! Boy, you can do a harmonica! Adam (beatboxer) is incredible. Chance (back left) was doing the jaw harp. Love Tim’s lows (bass). He has a 5 octave range. Rob (glasses) trained as an opera singer in college. Austin (lead here) is the star of this song and his Georgia accent comes through. They’re all tremendous talents. You should check out Two Country Singers Try Opera with Rob and Austin. Rob wouldn’t do it without Austin. Lots of fun. Some other great songs by them How Great Thou Art, One Man Band, Bless the Broken Road, Blue Ain’t Your Color (more jazzy with Rob lead). Enjoy! They also have a lot of originals with Austin, Tim and Chance writing. 😍😄

[@matthewgoodA1206]

A long time ago this was my first Home Free song and video. At the time it was even the first reaction video I ever saw. Their level of excellence makes fandom a very easy sell. And also, just to applaud passion or enthusiasm in any reaction. As occasionally I will come across someone who “reacts” to a song by barely moving their head with no facial expression. After it’s over they might say, That was pretty good. So what you do is so much better, since you don’t hold back being moved by what you hear.

[@nancyholter5646]

I love all of Austin's 'voices', but when he gets to let his 'southern country boy' voice loose, it is so much fun.

[@bernieregnier4500]

Totally Epic!!!. It is just plain fun to review and realize their gifts and talents are over the top extraordinary. This group can simply stand tall amongst the industry vocalist peers (groups and gifted vocalists). They bring about an excitement intrigue wondering what they will produce for us today, near future and the years to come. They are not bound by a particular genre and whatever they produce you know it is going to be quality. Home Free produces at a high level of integrity and always amazing the interpretation both vocally and visually with their video presentation. Every individual in their vocal group is significant top-notch performer and each draws out the very best in each other. I always look with anticipation to their next release. Thank you Home Free!!! ❣ subscribed

[@danivansuperstar]

Subbed for more HF. Best a cappella group out there, imo. So entertaining and down to earth, as well. They are fantastic live. Thanks for reacting to the guys!

[@dagmar.6954]

Great analysis! This song blew me away when I first heard it & I was completely hooked. These guys are all so talented. They lean towards country but they can do any genre. They all can take the lead depending on whos voice is best for the song. They are known for their tight harmonies. Tim Foust is one of the best bass singers out there (5 octave range) & their beatboxer vocal percussionist Adam Rupp can simulate any sound such as drums, harmonica etc. They are my favorite a cappella group. This song is very old (about 100 yrs.) & is done in the bluegrass country style. It was used in the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" starring George Clooney.

[@teresacartwright5406]

IMHO Home Free is the best acapella band (for that matter, of any genre). 3 of them are song writers so there are lots of originals as well, Incidentally, they can all beatbox (not to Adam Rupp's extent of course). For instance on "Mayday Live" and another old live video "Joy to the World Hosannah". I guarantee you've never seen a version like this before.

[@andreaislandgirl720]

Don't forget the live video "9 to 5 with beatbox breakdown".

[@nanadeborah8717]

I agree!

[@BartonBreen]

Good to see you checking out Home Free after your work with Voice Play. They met and were both part of The Sing-off on NBC about 10 years ago. Home Free won that season. Voiceplay developed further following that to where they are now. Geoff Castalucci credits Tim Faust, the bass here with Home Free with him developing his bass range further and learning how to use subharmonics. Geoff occasionally has done arrangements for Home Free, including their collaboration with The Oak Ridge Boys on Elvira. (Hint! :) ) You've mentioned in some of your other analyses the power of unison singing when it's done with excellence. Home Free's cover of Helplessly Hoping, is an amazing example of it with killer harmonies too. Enjoy your enthusiasm and expertise. Thanks for the time and effort you put into these.

[@jankreps5115]

It’s amazing that this is all vocal!! This is from the movie Brother Where Art Thou! Listen to Austin and Rob… 2 ead singers sing Nessun dorma! Rob (beard) has had classi opera training..they surprisedeveryone!

[@carolyntaylor7]

It was used in the movie, but was written in about 1920!

[@jankreps5115]

I love that we can always learn from each other! Thanks!

[@sjenny5891]

It's exciting to watch beatboxers react to Adam. The fact that you'll replicate it to show the technique is a plus.

[@patriciavernon9795]

Hi, I am a die hard Home Fry and new subscriber hoping for more Home Free! They are my favorite group! Your enthusiasm and love for music is such a joy! I’m so happy I found your channel! These boys can make you laugh or cry and everything in between. They have many great originals as well. The beatboxer has a beautiful tenor voice and joins the others when they sing a song with 5 part harmony like Helplessly Hoping. Adam the beatboxer majored in trumpet in college and he puts the circular breathing to great use when beatboxing. Tim the bass has a 5+ octave range! I hope you choose to explore this group some more, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you for a wonderful reaction and have a great day! #HomeFree

[@tomykomiyamoto8742]

Great reaction, thank you!! ❤❤ It's such a joy to see your enjoyment! Glad you enjoy the acapella guys Lots more to explore! 😀 Have you heard "the Bass Gang" guys? They all have lots of great works.

[@Laura_Martin42]

Thanks for the great reaction! You should react to Two Country Singers Try Singing Opera, it's Rob and Austin doing their version of Nessun Dorma. In fact, I am going to subscribe in case you decide to!

[@edsartistry]

I love Austin's deep south drawl in this song. He is a Georgian southie so it comes naturally to him. These guys are just as amazing as Pentatonix and are considered to be the #2 "a cappella" group right behind PTX. I really like your analysis and reactions to the four songs I watched. You have a great vibe and fun attitude and a good round knowledge of music that is easy to follow and understand. Thanks and keep doing more Home Free and Pentatonix.

[@Broomrider1492]

Love both Home Free and Geoff Castelluccis cover of this song. Tim Foust and Geoffs Castellucci bass are on another level.

[@stevenhoth6843]

That was a fabulous reaction!! Probably the best I have enjoyed - and there have been a lot for this song. Thx. I sure hope you do more of HF

I just discovered your channel and really enjoyed your lively and informational video reaction! These guys are so special that I think they’re in a league of their own. They’re so professional, but don’t always take each other or themselves too seriously. They have done some really fun and/or goofy videos. I hope you do react to more videos of theirs. They’re amazingly talented. They’re very entertaining and sell out many live shows around the globe.

[@highpsi11]

Home Free can even do pop/rock. Austin wanted to do a version of All About That Bass and it's a lot of fun.

[@StevesTubes]

I believe you would be very interested in "Two Country Singers Try Singing Opera". Rob and Austin from Home Free take on Nessun Dorma.

[@dalepettiner5036]

I'm impressed that you understood Adam's "nomonica" (and could do some too). Chance was doing Mongolian Throat Singing (jaw harp sound). I enjoyed your analysis and hope that you do a lot more HF (huge catalogue). My personal favorites from them are "My Church" and "Do You Hear What I Hear".

[@cynthiamiller483]

I like your approach to the analysis portion. Country is not my wheelhouse, but I love Home Free and their ability to make it palatable and enjoyable. I also love that they are so talented that they have three writers. They have put out many original songs that we all enjoy so much. I have subbed tonight, as I really enjoyed your reaction and look forward to more. Good luck in your job search! 🎶 Cyd #HomeFree

Great reaction and analysis.

[@lkayh]

You absolutely HAVE to check out Austin and Rob “trying” to sing opera (Nessun Dorma). Please, pretty please?? (And if you’re talking about cranky dears who for some reason can’t tolerate even the faintest whiff of criticism of Dimash, we all agree that he’s wonderful, but I’d bet that he actually WANTS to hear constructive comments because he’s always working to improve. So ignore the cranky comments. Some folks just have bees in their bustles.)

[@lkayh]

So sorry about the financial thing. I got my degree in theater, so I know what you mean. There comes a point where you have to decide whether you really want to wait tables for the rest of your life, because that’s virtually the only side job that lets you keep your schedule flexible for auditions and rehearsals. I sucked at waiting tables. LOL. Ended up doing the 9-5 grind and giving up on that spotlight. Turns out I like the work behind the scenes better anyway, esp writing, but that doesn’t pay any better. Good luck finding your niche. Peter Barber has done quite well with KZbin, so it’s possible.
