Best Acapella Group?! HOME FREE REACTION VIDEO - Sea Shanty Medley | New Music Reaction Videos

[@nunchuck47]

you really need to see the live version of this one it's awesome totally 👏

[@marlahudgins7038]

Did you hear the castanets that Adam, the beat-boxer did with his mouth? Let's talk about Rob's mustache.. LOL, love it.. We see you Austin!

[@leftalone4264]

Love Home Free. Miss your reactions.

[@TARBUNNY2013]

Legends❤

[@annebiebrich9155]

Schnell ....you got some catching up to do! Lol. You just have to react to their newest songs...Ain't Goin Down Till The Sun Comes Up, Listen To The Music, Brother and When Will I Be Loved !!! All along of awesomeness!

[@m.harrison2151]

Austin does have a degree in musical theater, in case you didn’t know! Love Adam’s castanet sound! This was done during quarantine time, that’s why all the backgrounds are different. Then the great editing of Jimmy Bates put it all together! So much fun!

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Have you seen Home Free's video for Brother. You will fall in love with the voices once you're able to get past laughing your arse off their wonderful antics.

[@angelamason9840]

Thank you, HF is my favorite group, I feel the same way! Tim is standing in a boat 🤗. The 3 singing Rupp siblings had me a sobbing mess during all 5 shows I have seen them, (separately and together)! Phenomenal! HF Brother🤗 and When Will I Be Loved with their fur babies are must watch! 😻

[@ghstdnsr]

Totally like Tristin's singing and wish she had more videos, pretty good actress as well.

[@marshac7738]

The HF guys showing their creativity once again: the TikTok format to manage their separation during quarantine ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️ Tim staying so still to keep from falling out of the boat he's standing in--it makes me laugh because every time I see him in this I think of the animated pirate dolls in Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean. 😆 And those castanets!! Adam Rupp's percussion and sound effects are second to none!! 🥰

[@cheryljohnson733]

They ARE the best!

[@rodconner9079]

Over the yrs of watching reacters (and others in comments) ... having the same result as I have ---- And that is, YES!!! HF has that ability of "pick-me-up"! Don't know how, but ABSOLUTELY!!!! Be Safe

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Miss Schnell, I hope you & the hubby & baby are doing well !!! As for Home Free those harmonies are unmatched.This video was all on Chance. He is a Sea Shanty fan, and pushed hard for this....the medly is his baby & Home Free has their most popular video for several years with nearly 12 million views.I also loved the whimsy on their outfits, especially Tim....dressed up as Captain Jack from Pirates of the Caribbean !!! You have so much Home Free to catch up on. May I suggest one they did about two months ago - From Here to the Moon & Back...a collab with a young up & coming country star, Maggie Baugh. It's a cover of a Dolly Parton song that is so beautiful, and the video is so awesome - have a tissue nearby !!!

[@patrickhumphreys5851]

Really good to see you back with Home Free you have a lot to catch up on and can't wait to see you back again. We missed you.

[@randylamb3296]

A great video and I enjoyed your reaction. We home fries "welcome".

[@delord1619]

Watching you watching this, you never stopped reacting.

[@carinalindberg7377]

Forgetting you are doing a reaction is a really good sign of how good it is!! As for your question if they come up with the ideas for the videos or if it's someone else the answer is both. Sometimes the idea comes from one or more of the guys themselves, sometimes it's Jimmy, the video producer they most use, or whoever else is producing is, and sometimes it's a friend or one of their team that has the first idea that they then work with. Everything about Home Free is pretty much a group/team effort. Lovely reaction as always, Schnell!

[@crsounddoctor4937]

Hi Schnell Fellow Home Fry, Home Free is the "BOMB!!!" With no disrespect to all of the other wonderful "A Capella" groups out there, but IMHO Home Free is the most versatile Vocal Band on the planet!!! Mic Drop!!! 🎤

[@dagmar.6954]

How good are these guys? The fun & energy in this is infectious. This was done during quarantine so none of the guys were even together. The editing of this was great & was done in the Tik Tok style. Love all the guys parts, with Tim's rumbling bass underlying it all. And Adam's beatboxing is phenomenal as always including sea swells & castanets. Amazing how he increased the tempo from one song to another.

[@stanrock2225]

Thanks for the reaction

[@11223344556677889959]

Best acapella band around.

[@donnilloyd1355]

The whole thing is AWESOME! But the 2 things that stand out the most were Tim's Low notes and Adam's Castanets. Great Post.

[@ronreed5889]

Welcome back to the Home Free world, Schnell! Would like to suggest you react to their fairly recent release of "Brother"

[@tracyallshouse2730]

I agree with you 💯 % ‼️❤ Again awesome reaction ‼️🥰❤

[@andyschnell58]

Great fun! I have a special place in my heart for sea shanties. Great reaction Schnell.

[@JimmyOlsson]

Best Sea Shanty Medley ever and most certainly the most popular sea shanty that was produced when sea shanties hyped last spring! Home Free kills it every time! They're just the best! Always!

[@marniash5831]

Hi lovely lady new on your channel, absolutely love your channel and a home fry myself .Keep them coming much love from Western Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

[@pattymelt5525]

I absolutely can’t wait for your reaction to “Brother”!! It’s one of their newest (and best!!) and chocked full of humor to boot!! ❤️❤️

[@darryljordan647]

I’ve had this song in my head at work for a year.

[@alfredh3071]

These guys look for ways to make it fun for us, but it’s also about fun for them. How else do you explain this video. Wonderful to see you looking so blissful, congrats on your new little one. You gotta check out Listen to the Music cover! So fun

[@kroft6799]

To be honest home Free is the only acapella group that I really care about. I know Pentatonix is the most popular but I can take them or leave them. Voiceplay does some stuff that I enjoy from time to time. And while I'm not necessarily saying he's the best or my favorite in the group, I think Adam Chance might have my favorite vocal tone, at least sometimes.

[@adelucas4824]

Pentatonix was great early days but they have got quite soulless since Avi left. Technically perfect as always, I just hate their original songs and think they don't have any spark. When they were doing covers of other artists they added their own flair and take, but I just don't think they are particularly good songwriters.

[@BallisticDrummer]

Check out Face Vocal Band! they are just as good as Home Free, Just a bit different......

[@bonwick]

Just the opposite for me -- PTX gets to me, while HF and Voctave and VoicePlay usually don't. They're all incredibly talented. I'm glad the a cappella genre has enough diversity now that more and more people can find a group that speaks to them.

[@adelucas4824]

@@bonwick Oh yes, it would be a horrible world if we all only liked one thing. All the acapella groups are insanely talented. Home Free is amazing but a lot of their stuff is too southern American for me. Yet some of their stuff is just incredible. No disrespect to the guys, but the appeal for some of their song choices doesn't travel outside the country music/good old boy/southern baptist demographic, but we would be poorer without it.

[@lindanearing4710]

What a wonderfully crafted song. Tim's beautiful bass underpinning the song was beautiful. The solos by each of them couldn't have been better and the harmonies were stellar. Adam's beat boxing/vocal percussion was creative and electrifying. I loved how he increased the tempo with each transition. The wave sounds and castanets: awesome.

[@babyfry4775]

One of my favorites. This was Chance’s baby (he’s the first singer). He loves sea shanties and brought the idea to the boys…at first they were like I don’t know but it’s turned into a big hit for them. This was during Covid so they weren’t even together. Tim wasn’t moving much as he was standing in a boat and was afraid he’d fall over. Tim and Austin went full pirate mode. Hahahaha. It’s so well done. Good reaction Schnell. Glad you’re back.😃

[@tinapatterson5022]

Do you want to Hear Tim's Low, Low, Low Notes? Watch, "Do you Hear what I Hear".🔥🔥🔥

[@brettsteele7386]

I have saved over 150 of their videos and I always get that feeling for every one of them.

[@milomurphy9178]

This took some convincing by Chance to get the other guys to do this. Chance also was able to perform a full version of another sea shanty on The Hound and The Fox channel, The Wellerman.

[@glennjanot8128]

Quite ironic, the one guy who had the idea for this did the least dress-up for it 😄

[@vickiadkins9844]

Glad to see u back with HF.Youve got some catching up do!❤

[@edwinsemidey1992]

Miss seeing you Hope All is well Stay POSITIVE and Happy And Healthy . Great Reaction love this 1 by Home Free

[@belinda9696]

Chance came up with the idea of them doing the sea shanties. He grew up In southern Alabama near the Gulf of Mexico and loves the ocean and sailing.

[@rolandrainwater9930]

They are extremely talented. Love boys to men End of The Road

[@jasonsomething6003]

Loved the Reaction! Glad to see you back into the music reactions! I LOVE HOME FREE, I'm a fry! But Sea Shanty Medley (wasn't for me me), must had been in their earlier days of forming the group. Home Free dropped a cover about a month THAT IS A MUST! A feel good song that will make you smile and get into the music, it's just awesome...please trust me on this! "LISTEN TO THE MUSIC", Home Free cover of the Doobie Brothers.

[@big_country2015]

You know they did all this separate during covid so this was all recorded separately they are great

[@hughjanus9557]

They are beyond great!

[@louisetemples7011]

Thank you for reacting! This is Amazing as all of them are! Home Free is my absolute favorite group ever! I love EVERYTHING about them! They never let us down!

[@debbiehall9091]

Such a great feel good song. Love Tim's low. Adam Rupp is amazing.

[@reneeturner9187]

If you like John Mayer, you should react to Home Free's cover of In The Blood. It's so good, but then everything they do is great!

[@bobs1648]

Schnell, why do I feel that for that last song "Santiana" you need to be wearing a Spanish dress and doing a Flamenco dance as a reaction. 😁👍

[@dannyjones1529]

never doubted that you'd love it!!!!!!!!!!

[@chrisroberts6589]

Girl I can't believe you haven't done. How Great Thou Art by them. Unless I missed it

[@kirkmccommas6412]

Speaking of Tim ----- Check this out ----- TIM FOUST -- Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay

[@rayniecox7683]

The last song - Santiana, is originally in French. They did this during lockdown. 😎😎😎😎

[@rogeriosantana7112]

Schnell I love you home free and kisses from Brasil

[@richb313]

Right around the time of the first lock down due to covid there was a craze on Sea Shanty videos on Tic Toc this inspired Chance to propose the idea of a their own version of this so the first song is the original one sung on Tic Tok.

[@johnforsyth7987]

Thank you for a wonderful video reaction. Home Free is group that is fun to listen to. They leave the listener with a positive feeling after hearing them. Please consider adding Diana Ankudinova to your "In Depth Artist" list. My favorite teenage contralto. She recently released her first song that she wrote herself. It is called Revelation. Take care. Stay safe.

[@markorlowski7069]

The Home Free just is a fun group to hear. They are great at what they do, but don't take themselves to seriously .

[@michaelhaynes6244]

Hello Schnell, I just discovered you today, love watching you react. I spend a lot of time watching reactions and you're reactions are awesome. I've been on a binge watching you discover Dimash for the first time. When you first heard Home Free. Very entertaining 👏. This reaction is from 3 weeks ago and have not discovered anything newer. Keep exploring the incredible talent and enjoy. God Bless ✌️❤️🙏

[@dalepettiner5036]

Home Free wins the a capella prize. I admit to prejudice (I did barbershop for almost 20 yrs), but I do place them above Acoustix, Boston Common, and Vocal Majority by a bit.

[@snowflakehunter]

You HAVE to check out their "Butts Medley"!!!!!!!!

[@darryljordan647]

Pay attention to the castanets and the sound of waves.

[@dianeritthaler7792]

These guys are the best

[@mitchshelton2995]

Liked and subscribed. Great reaction. 1st time here and plan to stay! Keep up the great work! 😎

[@richcunningham5467]

SJ - really have missed you reacting to the "boys" - they have come out with some real "BANGERS" during your "time away". You certainly have some catching up to do... Still all in all you're still one of my F-A-V-O-R-I-T-E reactors - love your infectious energy!! You so remind me of one of my grand daughters - in fact you could be her twin sister... OMG - we might need to check your DNA - just kidding!! 🙂 Keep up the great work and hope to see more HF reactions real soon!! RichieC (Atlanta)

[@davidstephens6462]

They do have a production staff, but they have a lot of input on the videos as well. Rupp is a excellent editor/producer.

[@tomsteuverkb8dxn132]

Be sure to check out Home Free - How Great Thou Art.

[@samschneider938]

Chance loves sea shanties, and he was the impetus for this medley.

[@dennisarmstrong4720]

If you want to be completely impressed and dumbfounded you need to listen to Tim alone singing will you still love me tomorrow/stay you will be suprised even more than when he goes low

[@darkhorse9027]

You have to do a reaction to their "Butts Melody" you'll see them having fun in the video!!!

[@kristindunstan172]

I'm so glad you missed Home Free (wink)! I look forward to seeing you react to more of their music. 🙂 Austin's musical theater training really shows through in this video. I love Adam's castanets, too. If you haven't seen some of their other lockdown videos, you should definitely check them out. They put out content about every two weeks during lockdown to keep new content coming out to their fans. They started with Quarantine, which is a parody of Billy Joel's Honesty. So clever!

[@Gantzz321]

I cannot believe you did do the "Trailer Park Boys - The Kittyman Sea Shanty"

[@TheNighthhawk]

Hope You heard, Adam doing the castanets. in the last song. Unbelievable. Great seeing you again. Tons of their songs your behind. Pull up, Tim's Solo songs. One is, In My Room, cover of the Beach Boys. Off Tim's, Pease's of Me, Solo album. Three of the songs are on You Tube.

[@TheRevFireman630]

So glad to have you back, missed your reviewes!!! Praying all of you are feeling well. I love some Home Free, great group!!!! If you get a chance to review Dire Straits, Sultans of Swing Alchemy Live, it's an AMAZING performance! All the best to you, your hubby and baby! Blessings

[@n3v3r.MoR3.84]

I see Home Free's Sea Shanty Medley and raise you Voiceplay's "My Mother Told Me"

[@travismans400]

Check out Tim a Foust ”Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay”

[@4Just1Girl]

At least for this specific video, Yes, it was The collection of ideas to pull together and come up with This video, because for the time they were creating this video All the guys were in Complete Lockdown during the worst parts of the C-virus spreading that hindered everyone getting together at all. So they recorded their own separate Tick tock video parts then I;m not sure who collected all the parts to take them to mash up together and edit the parts together to create This Specific video. Also, If you search for an equally inspiring acapella singer, search for Peter Hollins featuring Tim Foust and the song Misty Mountain. Tim really hits the chills up your spine--hairs standing up on your neck and arms--Low low notes.

[@susanhorn4325]

Home Free has an amazing video editor, Jimmy Bates. He did all of their lockdown videos. He may have pitched the ideas for the videos or they came up with the ideas collaboratively during their zoom calls…some of both I’m sure. Jimmy worked with each of the guys individually to guide their video recording so he could get footage he wanted…they filmed some scenes multiple times so they could get it just right. They did lots of retakes for Meet In The Middle with those complicated transitions and then Jimmy produced the finished masterpiece.

[@johnwilliams5301]

Love this song and loved your reaction even more. I would love to see you react to their latest time "When Will I Be Loved"

[@N9TheNoob]

wait a damn minute, how havent you already reacted to this?!

[@razor75250]

I hope all is well with you and your baby boy!!💕💕

[@tonywhite8382]

Would like to see your reaction to Blue Ain't Your Color. One of their best.

[@dennislloyd4018]

WB you missed so much of home free while out pls keep going

[@emanymton713]

As far as acapella goes I have Home Free, Pentatonix, Voctave, and Voiceplay all constantly circling around who’s number one…

[@annebiebrich9155]

I just have to tell you, sweetie...you have the most beautiful eyes!

[@fpresley]

Did you get to see them in concert during their Canadian Tour earlier this year?

[@ddttrrb72]

My 3yo granddaughter asks for this often

[@cowboy1165]

Do you want to see something cool, Schnell? Type in "Sea Shanty Medley" and see how many people made this song viral on tic-tok doing a dance jig.

[@tomaskennedy]

A little word of advice: If you’re going to pause to make a comment on a video (particularly a Home Free video), skip back about 5 seconds before resuming so you don’t miss anything.

[@jayb8698]

Must admit...Voice Play hold the top spot for a capella. But please do us all a favour and do a reaction to Way On Down by Geoff Castellucci.

[@joshkelly4815]

Tangier.. southbound train HQ

[@cowboy1165]

Schnell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Drop what you're doing and get over to Austin's channel. Rob Lunquist and Austin Brown sing OPERA. Yes opera "Two COUNTRY singers try to sing OPERA." ---- Nessum Dorma.😳

[@TheNighthhawk]

BREAKING NEWS!!! Austin and Rob, just released an OPERA Song together. Pull up (Nessun Dorma). Mind blowing. Two Country singers try singing Opera.

[@Tark-qs4mu]

You asked if Home Free comes up with the concepts for their videos themselves. Check out "Brother", then ask that question again. Lol. True, it wasn't one of the members of the core group, but one of the other team members, but still...

[@scottboyd9383]

They are very good and entertaining. Not quite the level of pentatonix but still really good and I will be listening to more .

[@susanhorn4325]

Welcome to the family.

[@patrickscutella836]

Try the great Canadian Stan Rogers doing "Barret's Privateers" or " "Old Rio"/

[@JerryGDawg56]

I really enjoy Homefree but my favorite by far is VoicePlay.

[@N9TheNoob]

you've reacted to this already

[@gcerny12]

the videos are great but live is a whole nother levcel!!!

[@countryboy111]

Schnell Jordan should do feed the gods by rob zombie

[@troymclain9441]

If you like low notes you might want to check out Jeff costalucci doing his new song from the Game of Thrones

[@big_country2015]

You should look up the wellerman on KZbin

[@dagnard5707]

Adam Rupp does the arraignments and video ideas

[@susanhorn4325]

Adam has only done one arrangement to my knowledge…Do You Hear What I Hear. He comes up with all the vocal percussion for each song…I guess you could consider that arranging. Darren Rust, their producer, does the majority of their arrangements…I know Austin arranged Moonshine and May have done others. Tim may have done some arrangements but I’m not sure. Earlier in the band’s history (pre-2016) Chris Rupp did some (and perhaps a lot of) arranging for the group. As far as video ideas sometimes I believe the videographers they hire present the ideas. Adam may come up with a lot of the ideas…he’s pretty creative. Chance came up with the concept for at least one(I Can’t Outrun You). During quarantine I think their video editor Jimmy Bates came up with a lot of the ideas. (Jimmy has done music videos for Pentatonix, Peter Hollens, and Lindsey Sterling among many others)

[@davida5447]

I'm a huge Home Free fan myself. I see you're an a'cappella fan, so I'm wondering if you've ever reacted to Voces8 and/or The King's Singers. One of the finest examples of harmony I've ever watched. You might enjoy their combined rendition of Lullaby ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4bYnptsq8yFnqc ). Would love to watch your reaction to them.

[@saf1883]

I suggest you to definitely listen to the beautiful song Bivafa by erfan Tahmasbi . 🇮🇷⭐🌹

[@KeatingChick]

And what about Adam and the Catanets?!!
