Home free has tons of material. All genres. They have never disappointed me and lately it seems like they’re dropping something new every week. “Man of constant sorrow” is a must. Also “Can’t stop the feeling”, “End of the road”, “Love Train”, “Butts remix”, “Country fried pop”, “Folsom prison blues”.

[@edmcguire8870]

I haven’t read all the comments and I’m sure it’s already been said BUT welcome to the Home Fre rabbit hole! They’re booked as a country a cappella group BUT tear up any genre they try! Haven’t heard a bad one yet. Try the Butts Remix to see their humorous side.

Percy Sledge would be proud. Mr Austin Brown is one of the best voices on the internet. Them backups ain't too bad either. Tim Foust with that Bass, Adam Rupp beatboxer. Rob Lundquist low tenor, Adam Chance baritone.

[@angelabarazzone7899]

Home Fry here. They are amazing and never heard a bad song or cover by them. Their beatboxer Adam Rupp has won world champion a couple of times. 😊

Percy Sledge is 1 of my all time favs. He hit #1 in 1966 with this song. The B side was Cover Me. That song is amazing.

Austin Brown is soooo talented. His voice is solid and clear. Outstanding!

[@Alan-dx1ys]

His facial expressions had me laughting the whole time .

[@carinalindberg7377]

Welcome to the rabbit hole of Home Free! Surprise!! Haha New subscriber here, Home Fry to my soul. A quick introduction of the guys. High tenor, the amazing soulful angel voice Austin Brown you just heard, beatboxer Adam Rupp, a freak of nature that willl literally blow your mind (also the only remaining founding member, they've been around for more than 20 years), bass singer, Tim Foust, with a 5+ octave range that allows to sing high up in tenor land too. barritone-bass Adam Chance (goes by Chance to not get confused with beatboxer Adam), the newest member who took over from Chris Rupp (Adam's brother and founder of the group) as of June 2016, has a smooth, velvety whisky voice and a 4+ octave range and lastly, but certainly not the least, because these guys have no least, lead tenor Rob Lundquist, the cuddly teddybear with the voice so full of soul and love that it warms your heart up every time you hear him sing. As far as more songs and videos to react to there are too many, they have well over 100 videos on their channel, so I'll list one for showing casing each of the guys. For Rob I hgihly recommend "End of the Road", Boys2Men cover, for Chance I love "Cover Me Up" (stay to the end for a little surprise), For Tim "Everybody Walking This Land" and for Adam my personal favourite is "Folsom Prison Blues". For originals written, or co-written, by members of the band I love Austin's Love Me Like That or Warmest Winter and Tim's Champagne Taste (on a beer budget) - an oldie but goody and Snow Globe. For originals written by others I recommend Dive Bar Saints. Austin also has his own solo channel where he posts both covers and originals with Unchained Melody being close to 3 million views in just a month. Have fun, enjoy and keep reacting to them. The Home Fries love Home Free reactors! :D Oh, and thank you for a fantastic reaction!!

[@lesegohellard5738]

Love the intro you are giving these guys

[@davidhoag4697]

Carina, you should do PR for Home Free. This was a great introduction to the group. Fantastic job. The only thing I would disagree with you on is your recommendation highlighting Tim's vocals. "Everybody Walking This Land" is a great song, but for my tastes I'd have picked "In The Blood". That song hit me in a unique way and I loved Tim's unaccompanied solo in the beginning - clear, resonant and pitch perfect. But hey, that's just me. Again, I thought your intro was absolutely great.

[@dolasfudge705]

Hi Carina! You are right on the money with your comment. I would however like to make a couple of amendments if I may. Another good one for Rob that seems to get overlooked lately is "Blue Ain't Your Color" (also, it's one of the few chances to see the boys have a choreographed song). And I think you weren't completely clear (at least not the way I read it, and I do read things weird sometimes) that "Champagne Taste On A Beer Budget" not only was an oldie but goodie, but a Tim Foust original as well as "Snow Globe". And they did have co-writers. Sorry to be so picky, but it was my sole job for many years and I still have a difficult time shaking it out of me. Grin

[@amyhenderson6933]

Another that is a must is their cover of Mayday. it shows Tim's versatility, the capabilities of Chance & will literally mess with your mind, lol! One more...How Great Thou Art.

[@Clevercat4]

Good info! Thanks

[@inkdemon64mclemore57]

WOW!!!!That was mine first time hearing their version of that song!!! I loved it!! I FELT THAT ONE IN MY SOUL!!!!

[@clarkkent6913]

Home Free is an American a cappella group of five vocalists, Austin Brown, Rob Lundquist, Adam Rupp, Tim Foust, and Adam Chance. Starting as a show group, they toured around 200 shows a year across the United States. The group competed in and won the fourth season of The Sing-Off on NBC in 2013.

[@drieuxkoeppel8152]

You should hear the original by Percy Sledge. Came out in the sixties and he has a voice like no other.

[@glendapass4613]

The reason I am a Home Fry is because they are all so talented and I love their original music but also they do covers of Iconic music that the world needs to remember and they don't try to outdo the original artists I feel their versions are homages to the originals.

[@jackiepierce1467]

Welcome to the Home Fry Nation. You are officially Home Fries. They are a country a Capella group. But they can sing it all. NSYNC, Boys to Men, Alabama, Kenny Rogers, Justin Timberlake. You name it, they do it up right!! Glad you enjoyed.

[@ryanhale4723]

Home Free is a phenomenal group. The bass, Tim Foust, has (literally) blown speakers at their concerts. "Same Auld Lang Syne," "Go Rest High on that Mountain" and "How Great Thou Art" show off serious harmonies. I've seen them live and they are as spot-on in concert as they are in the studio versions. No autotune, either. Oh! When you said, "Well dayum!" at the end of the song, I spewed Diet Mtn Dew all over my desk -- you owe me a new keyboard! Good job with the reaction!

Awesome song, awesome performance, but - I got to see Percy do it live in a small venue (Peabody's Warehouse) in Virginia Beach back in the day. I expected it not to sound like the record. I was wrong. The brass was killer and Percy wailed. I remember "Out Of Left Field" was spot on also. Saw Peaches & Herb there also. I wish I had gone there more often and to "The Dome" (Alan B. Shepherd Civic Center), where I saw Iron Butterfly. The Seeds opened.

[@freadadillon4071]

Perfection. Austin laid all down on the stage. Home Free is arguably the best A Capella groups today. You probably have all the info you need about these guys in your comments below. I'll add a couple of my own insights --- These guys are all great musicians, singers, song writers and comics (just you wait and see!) Also as a sidenote, they are all extremely tall. When fans post photos they had taken with the guys, I say they have entered the land of the A Capella Giants. (in more ways than one). Enjoy your journey. These guys never disappoint.

[@jamanga59]

All of the guys are aroung 6'2" tall and some of thenicest and most humble guys you'll ever find. Austin Brown was the lead singer on this song but they switch it up all the time and have most of them singing lead at some time. Tim Foust is the bass singer with a 5 octave range (high tenir to deep bass) long dark hair lter it'scut short with a natural silver streak in front, Austin Brown the high tenor with lomg ginger hair, Rob Lundquist is the tenor teddy bear with full beard and glasses with a very smooth voice, Adam chance AKA Chance is their newest member. Chance sings baritone but can sing tenor to bass when needed. You should check out their live video of 'Guilty Pleasures. They are hilarious. Have fun becoming a Home Fry aka home free ran.

Welcome to Home Free! They are wonderful. They were on the NBC show the Sing Off and won in 2013 the year after Pentatonix won. They sing a lot of covers but also write a lot of their own stuff. They have no lead singers and trade off who will sing on each song. This song was sung by Austin Brown the high tenor. Beard and glasses is Rob Lundquist, tenor. Chance is the bass/baritone and was wearing a hat in this song. Adam Rupp, is the beatboxer, and is tremendous. Tim Foust, is the bass, and has a 5 octave range so he can sing high and super low. He usually has long hair but this summer he cut his hair and has a gray streak. Please look into more of their songs. You won’t be disappointed. Try Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art, End of the Road to start. Enjoy! Great reaction!
