Tim Foust Austin Brown and Friends- Good ol' Country Harmony Come on! They are So Good!

[@m.harrison2151]

This song was written by Tim! There is a video for this song which is really adorable! They have some young portraying them as youngsters showing their beginning, tho’ it’s not the “real” story. You will love it!!

[@momD612]

Oh absolutely 💯 ❤❤

[@dagmar.6954]

This is such a great original song. This live version with just Tim & Austin is very good. But I really like the studio version & the video is really cute. They have child actors portraying themselves as kids. And they made up a fictional story of how they all came together.

[@redheadedneighbor]

Okay… that’s cute

[@DiamondRioFan1]

Yeah, the video is GREAT!! Although I still say that to get the kid that plays Rob, they went back in time and actually brought Rob into the future to play himself. The "Rob-isms" are just too accurate!! I just hope they got the DeLorean back to Marty and Doc Brown. lol

[@dgpatter]

Of note: one of the Statler brothers passed during quarantine era and Home Free put out a cover of Counting Flowers on the Wall as a tribute. So worth a view!

[@redheadedneighbor]

Oh wow! I didn’t know that. I really wanna hear it

[@princessButtercupp]

For some fun things to watch and react to, and to get to know the guys a bit more, there are a series of home free home from home videos. You will fall for them all even more when you get to see what fun and amazing guys they are. Southerner in the snow is my favorite one, but they are all so much fun.

[@redheadedneighbor]

I know how that feels.. southerner in the snow

[@flyindustman1]

I highly recommend Southerner in the snow, not for reacting to though, but just for the fun of watching it.. Tim really really hates the snow and low temperatures and a great sense of humor.. he think he actually has an agreement with the boys that he never ever has to come and live anywhere near Minnesota. And btw just like you he once ran as far away from country music as he possibly could but due to 'happy' circumstances for us home fries he ( initially reluctantly) returned. @@redheadedneighbor

[@FrankDaddy-g1q]

I've watched Southerner in the Snow SO many times because I live in the snow myself, I can relate 100%. I also love the episodes of Tim Eats, or their crawfish boil, or Chance's Home Visit, where he was raised, in Alabama...

[@princessButtercupp]

​@user-pu1bn7gr9f Tim's accent has never been thicker then in the crawfish boil episode. Being around family sure brought out the Texan in him.

[@DanMcCall-g3b]

Hey, Red. Just wanted to let you know that HF did Flowers On The Wall, when you get time. Also, Austin and Tim's version of My Maria (with friends) is must hear.

[@denise_landry]

My Maria is a must!

[@according_to_Gerg]

I love the original "My Maria" and Brooks and Dunn is one of my favorite all time country duets, but I think I might actually like Tim and Austin singing it better. A must see!

[@texassendero4901]

Flowers on the wall is one of thier COVID19 productions

[@redheadedneighbor]

I almost chose that one to react to, my maria

[@minneyruth]

Yes! My Maria is a must!! ❤

[@samnunley6307]

Home Free also did this song with just the guys of home free. Check it out.

[@texassendero4901]

My Maria cover by Brooks and Dunn is covered by Tim and Austin and is INCREDIBLE Also Don Mclean and Home Free of American Pie colab is Awesome. I am so glad you can now come back to your roots with your mom and dads music❤❤ The shock of my life was when I relized 20 yrs after my dads death that my love for Jimmy Buffet came from POPS !!!!! that will blow anyones mind 🦜🦜🦜🦜🦜 #redheadedneighbor #reaction #homefree #homefry #homefreereaction #timfoust #austinbrown

YAY!! A NEW FAN 😊🤗

[@susanburge4025]

Time for "Hillbilly Bone" then!

[@minneyruth]

@susanburge4025 haven't heard that in awhile

[@Indigo_moon]

I've never seen Tim play the guitar but he taught himself to play the piano. That's his go-to instrument. Austin started playing the guitar a few years ago. That's all I know of the two. Also, I don't think Sebastian is as young as you think he is. Lol! I think he's around the same age as Austin. Him and Austin have alot of videos together on Austin's YT channel.

[@babyfry4775]

What fun! The man playing guitar is Tim’s good friend Chris Chatham and he has written songs with Tim and others and plays guitar in So Long Dixie that Tim wrote. It’s wonderful. Tim plays piano/keyboards. I don’t know if he plays guitar. Austin plays piano and guitar and Chance plays guitar. Tim, Chance and Austin all write songs for Home Free with Tim and Austin writing the most songs. Super talented men. Good one Red! This is part of Sweet & Low that Tim and Austin put together and they do concerts and back yards when Home Free is on hiatus. 😃🥰

[@redheadedneighbor]

Great comment. Thank you

[@MyLorissa]

There are 3 others that wrote So Long Dixie along with Tim. Austin, Chris Chatham & Adam Wakefield(Texas Hill).

[@dgpatter]

Also, if you spend time on Austin’s channel you’ll see the piano player a lot. They were roommates during the pandemic and put out a ton of music. You’ll see Chris often with their various projects whether it be Home Free (So Long Dixie comes to mind) to smaller ensembles like My Maria. They’re all great friends and work together often.

[@nancyholter5646]

no, Steven was his roommate. And Asher was his other roommate. But you are right, Austin and Seby made lots of music together as did Austin and Steven.

[@jankreps5115]

Tim wrote this song! It has an Alabama vibe to me! You really need to watch the studio production of this one where they have five middle school age boys portray them when they’re young… And then they come in and sing with them at different parts!! It’s a lot of fun!! It’s not a true story but it’s fun to imagine the guys at that age!!… Be sure to listen to crazy life! In the video the Home Free guys are Lego Replicas of themselves! The story behind the song is kind of a romance!! Great reaction!

[@redheadedneighbor]

I can see that!

[@mandysmith1756]

If you want to hear perfectly blended 5 part harmony try the Home Free cover of Helplessly Hoping - just beautiful. And have you reacted to their collaboration with the Oak Ridge Boys - Elvira? The one playing the guitar was Tim's friend Chris Chatham. He sang with Tim in one of his previous groups and they still sometimes write together. He's an excellent guitarist and co-wrote and plays on the title track of Home Free's album So Long Dixie - again, highly recommended.

[@redheadedneighbor]

Oh , yes! I have heard the Elvira!!!

[@larrybarnard4762]

These guys also have a video where they sing on a porch together. They do "My Maria". Its another opportunity to catch Tim singing in his higher range.

[@redheadedneighbor]

I need to hear that!

[@larrybarnard4762]

Awesome I cant wait to see your reaction.@@redheadedneighbor

[@philbrown2563]

Tim and Austin felt like they could help people and organizations plus love to share music with there friends and decided to do a few of these concerts. That is why it is called with friends. You also see why they are so good because they truly love what they are doing and whom they are doing it with. Home Free are also very good friends that love each other and music. You will find that money is not their God. They do a lot for others. Just a note, you will see that Adams hair seems to very in length. What he does is grow his hair out long and when reaches the desired length, he cuts and dominates his hair to those of need. Again it all about the music and not money and glory. To see an insight to this group and to back this up, I hope you truly take the time to view a video that is not watched a lot "Walking this Land". It is a song that shows there hearts and beliefs.

[@redheadedneighbor]

This is very special. 💕💕💕💕

[@williamcapp448]

Chatham, the guitar guy, joins often with Tim and Austin. Check out their My Maria cover.

[@quinjesuis9187]

There is definitely something very very homey about harmony counrty thats for sure, makes you good and warm deep in your heart 💝 like tying a yellow ribbon around your heart, just like that song, tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree, that this song conveys, even though its not a country song, i smile brightly 🌞

Absolutely!!

Thanks for the reaction. Growing up my cousin had a band and would play in my grandfathers barn on weekends, this takes me back about 50 years.

[@JohnBare747]

These guys are good their group (Sweet and Low) does some great stuff. My favorite of theirs is "My Maria". But this is real good to.

[@redheadedneighbor]

I almost chose that one!

​@redheadedneighbor you have to do that one next! It's so so good

Enjoy your reactions, Red. Home Free has some excellent videos that are not reacted to very often. You might consider Finally Free, Heaven, and Die a happy Man. Thanks!

[@fishermansbounty]

I think you are ready for Tim, Austin Sebastion (the piano player), and Chris Chatham (the guitar player) sing on Austin’s back porch. The song is “My Maria”. It’s as good as it gets. I look forward to your reaction of this.

[@redheadedneighbor]

I was so close to reacting to that today!

[@rcinsley]

BTW -- HF did a great cover of The Statler Brothers' "Flowers on the Wall" ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmKkcmSHqNygnpY ) during the COVID quarantine. Members recorded their parts in home studios and HF's sound engineer edited the finished product together.

[@gregpeacock5497]

Howdy Red, thanks for another wonderful reaction! At some point, you should check out Peter Hollens. I would suggest his version of I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. It is a collab with Home Free, was done during covid with an assist by Peter's patreon members.

[@redheadedneighbor]

I will check it out

[@glennspreeman1634]

Chris, guitar, I'm pretty sure, is Tim's brotherinlaw. All the guys really appreciate and revere who came before!!

[@brendasorenson6186]

Chris Chatham and Tim used to sing together with Blue Jupiter a capella group (I think), so they've been friends a long time. When Tim and Austin sang My Maria, the bass guitarist on the far right was Chris Marion, Tim's bil & Jenika's bro.

[@wirelessmikedj7784]

They did "My Maria" as well, with the addition of a bass player.

[@redheadedneighbor]

I will surely do this one!

[@FrankDaddy-g1q]

Now that you mention T-shirts, you know what I love? When Tim and Austin sings My Maria, and Tim is wearing an Austin Brown T-Shirt! And yes, Red, that was a hint for your next reaction! ;-) The guy with the Guitar is Chris Chatham, another old friend of Tim, and Home Free. He's also awesome in "My Maria" (another hint) The guy at the Piano is Sebastian Duyon, an old friend of Austin, who accompanies Austin is many of his solo works.

[@redheadedneighbor]

I love that hint… fantastic!

[@stefanmodigh6312]

Good morning Sunshine. Your smile is the best start of the day ! 👍👍👍💕🇸🇪😎

[@redheadedneighbor]

😊 thank you

[@timworks991]

All three groups mentioned in this song, they have done covers of their work and or sang with them. Alabama, they did a medley of their songs, Oak Ridge Boys of course you reacted to them singing Elvira with the Oak Ridge Boys and Beautiful Star of Bethlehem. And they did Flowers On The Wall in memory of Herold Reid when he passed. As someone else has mentioned, Home Free released a video of this song, "Good Ol Country Harmony," featuring a group of High School boys coming together to form an acapella group. Many of their videos will tell a story which goes along with the music. Some times it will feature Home Free acting out and sometimes it will be someone else acting out the story. In, "When Will I Be Loved," it is Home Free with a bunch of lovable pets. In "Go Rest High On That Mountain" You have scenes of Home Free singing, interspersed with other people which show a very heart felt account of brothers who went off to war and only one returned. Have tissues ready for that one! In their cover of "Brother" you have the guys of Home Free, in costume, LARPing with a bunch of other people, including Austin's (then) fiance now wife. Their scenes in that were hilarious. So many videos and so little time. Looking forward to what ever is next.

[@redheadedneighbor]

These guys are gonna keep me busy! I love it

[@PaulaThompson-x9w]

Love this song. The music video for this one is absolutely adorable! You might want to check it out. Thanks for the Home Free reactions

[@nancyholter5646]

Their harmonies are stupendously amazing. Their unison on that slide - every time - so fantastic. Add in Jeffrey East and it gets really wild. (What's it to You). Seby is a master recording engineer/producer, and has worked in Nashville for years, I'm sure he knew all three groups - if not before he and Austin came together, then certainly after they started working together. Seby plays piano on some of Austin's solo covers - like Bring Him Home, I'm not Supposed to Love you Anymore and others. The guitar player is Chris Chatham, he and Tim have been working together off and on for over 20 years. Austin likes singing in a group with him because then Austin isn't exepected to have the highest voice. There is so much talent on that stage. But as far as I know, Tim does not play guitar. Austin does some, but I've never seen him play in a show.

[@redheadedneighbor]

Thank you so much for this!

[@guyray1504]

The other two guy do a lot of music with both Tim and Austin. The other guy singing was Chris Chatman ( i my have misspelled it). He did the work on Tim's do-wap songs. You can see him in the control room on " Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/ Stay.

[@steby123]

If you want pure harmony (no instruments or beatboxing) listen to Helplessly Hoping by Home Free.. if you want more of Tim’s deep voice try Misty Mountains by Peter Hollens featuring Tim Foust. Both songs are a must listen. Love your reactions! Oh, Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, joins in on the singing in Helplessly Hoping. Can’t wait for the next HF reaction! 👍👍👍

[@teresacartwright5406]

This is a Tim Foust original - the man with the guitar is Chris Chatham (a frequent collaborator and one of the consortium of singer/song writer/musicians in their side project "Sweet & Low Music Co."). Sebastien Douyon is playing the keyboard - he's a good friend of Austin's and often accompanies him on Austin's channel. Tim, Austin & friends do fund raising for at-risk veterans (excerpts are available on y/t).
