[Wifey Reaction] Home Free - Ring of Fire Feat Avi Kaplan (Earthquakes from that Bass)

[@caitlinseaton7546]

I like that when Home Free features another artist, they actually show them off. They really put aside any ego and really let the featured artist shine.

[@Froggyh63]

Home Free, Pentatonix, Voiceplay.......3 amazing groups, 3 amazing basses.

[@rogerwest603]

Absolutely but I do have to say I prefer Avi over (is it) Kevin, the Bassist in Pentatonix!

[@rogerwest603]

@Yance Taylor Absolutely #Truth!

[@bobemch5614]

Since your wife was talking about Christmas, check out their version of Do You Hear What I Hear and you'll definitely hear some more bass. It was arranged by their beat boxer Adam Rupp. Great Reaction!

[@angelamason9840]

Do You Hear What I Hear is brilliant! After I watched Chris Rupp (Adam’s brother) behind the scenes review of the arrangement I was stunned. Adam is my favorite Home Free member. Since I became a Home Fry recently I have been listening to Home Free all year long including their Christmas stuff.

[@chrismorin1318]

Definitely a year round song! Crazy good!

[@everettscheer965]

While Home Free is country tinged, they do covers of many different genres. The "End of the Road" cover that people are suggesting is a great example of their versatility. I also second the suggestion to wait on Mayday. I recommend waiting until you can identify each member by voice before doing so.

[@bobr4987]

If you want to hear that bass note again, check out "Misty Mountains". By Peter Hollans featuring Tim Faust. (Home Free bass) It's from the movie "The Hobbit". Enjoy!

[@jamescurfman3284]

YES YES YES!!!

[@colinlouk]

YES!! YES!!! YES!!!!!

[@N9TheNoob]

in that one he hit a G#1 which in fact is his highest (recorded) growl note

[@martinhafner2201]

Avi trained to be an operatic basso profundo, so that smoothness is part of the program.

[@melissacoorston3121]

Tim not only hit that subharmonic note but he held it for 13 seconds...amazing bass...thank you for the great reaction. Oh and you mentioned you liked Boyz 2 Men....please react to Home Free's cover of End of the Road...you will be floored :)

[@FernyBass]

Uh....Tim doesn’t do Subharmonics, he uses Growl and Chest-Fry, on this video he used Growl.

[@purpleir]

Homefree have an amazing cover of End of the road! You will love it I am sure! The bass' name is Tim Foust. He can practically sing anything! High, subterranean, you name it!

[@angelamason9840]

Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! Since you both enjoyed this Folsom Prison Blues and Your Man and I can’t outrun you, Dive bar Saints, Some Girls Do and Do You Hear What I Hear are some of my favorites. Every Home Free arrangement and video is amazing!

[@davehertle]

I love how Avi gives credit to Tim on the last note, by donning the black cowboy hat, as if to say "I am with you Tim!" Also, big credit to Avi for that one octave seamless drop at 5:22

[@davidleatherneck]

That's called a tip of the hat. When I first met my now wife, a tip of the hat sealed the deal. I can still picture her big smile, and that was 34 years ago.

[@mjackson780]

Home Free did this song on the Sing Off, without Avi, and it was fantastic. They did a cover of "End of the Road" that was wonderful! You need to check it out. Thanks.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

as far as I was concerned (at the time) when they sang this on the Sing-Off, the competition was over....the standing ovation from all three judges clinched it

[@awalmer5]

AND, the sing-off was in a lower key so the note Tim hits at the end is even more impressive.

[@themank99]

I second that. This "country" band for sure can do some R&B. Their, would not call it cover, interpretation of "End Of The Road" is amazing.

[@themajor743]

@@awalmer5 Yes - this was a G1, in sing-off Tim hit a low F-sharp.

[@staceysmith8173]

@@miamidolphinsfan I thought the same thing. It's over!!!

[@primalmojo9599]

Home Free is considered country acapella, but they can and do cover all genres of music. Check out the Butts Remix, When a Man Loves a Woman, and End of the Road to see just a few that aren't all county flavored. But they are always great! You should also react to Hillbilly Bone, Helplessly Hoping, and Seven Bridges Road. Then once you think know where their usual roles and ranges are, give Mayday a listen. You won't regret going down this rabbit hole!

[@toodlescae]

You would love their cover of End of the Road. BTW Tim goes even lower than that end note...lol. Check out Sold or Folsom Prison.

[@claudevillemaire355]

Home free does do all the main genres! They just released a cover of one voice with Billy Gilman and recently sang when a Man loves a woman and bye-bye Miss America pie with Don McLean!

[@wirelessmikedj7784]

If you watch the Sing Off 4th Season, they perform this as one of their songs, and Tim actually drops a half step lower on the ending note....the baritone (Chris Rupp with the cap) who is a co-founder of Home Free with his brother Adam Rupp (the amazing Beat Boxer) has been replaced with Adam "Chance" who is a baritone but can also cover bass...Austin Brown is the high tenor and Rob (beard) is the other tenor. Avi and Tim are friends, and Avi has a couple cameo appearances in other videos and it is said that Tim helped Avi and Geoff (from Voiceplay) develop their low growl. Tim has a 5 Octave Range. Listen to more Home Free BEFORE you listen to Mayday...and you will understand. BTW, they did a cover of "End of the Road" which fully does justice to the original!

[@ДочоДочев-к8о]

Actualy Robe is also tenor but not like Austin he is a harmonic tenor. And not Tim teaching all others to the best low notes! Actualy the Geoff Castellucci from Voiceplay help them to improve their low notes! ;)

[@margfried8796]

@@ДочоДочев-к8о Actually, Tim taught Geoff to lower his voice by an octave. Tim also taught Avi how to do it and other basses.

[@ДочоДочев-к8о]

@@margfried8796 I heard that Geeoff did that but whatever! The final result is that Geoff posses the best lower notes now even if Tim is show him how to do it! ;)

[@brendagrothier967]

Home Free does ALL genres of music not just country. They give it a twang but that was because of the song.

[@VJ_9014]

Plus 3 out of the 5 are southern boys with natural southern accents: TX, GA, and AL! 😉

[@larrywt656]

@@VJ_9014 I was glad someone said this. Those twangs are real!

[@johns20901]

like the channel Tom and Sarah. I was fortunate to have heard Home Free in concert in 2015, one of their first tours after winning Sing Off. And my friend had gotten premiere tix, so we had an extended meet-and-greet before the show; they were a delight and they performed a song for the meet-and-greet that was not in the actual concert (you can do that when you only need your voices, as they mirthfully said). In the show, they did a range of genres, not just country. They were superb !

[@2wheels298]

Hello Sara and Tom.. Welcome to Home Free... Tim Faust ( bass) has blown out speakers at some concerts with his low bass... lol Check out End Of The Road,,,

[@rochellehershberger9539]

Avi's solo stuff is A-MAZING! You must listen to Change on the Rise. Also, Peter Hollens is another great acapella artist to check out. He does a version of Misty Mountains with Tim Foust that is magical!

[@charlottevan_8]

Don't forget Avi and Peter's collaboration on "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair". Incredible harmonies (of course), and Avi's solo is awesome.

[@chrismorin1318]

Change on the Rise is so primal and hits right into my very soul! The 1st time I heard it, I was speechless and I immediately listened to it again with the same result. Finally, about the 5th time, I regained my ability to think and speak. 🤣

[@charlottevan_8]

@@chrismorin1318 "Change" just hit 9 million views, which it so deserves. I saw him perform the song 3 times back in 2019, and of course, it was just as good as the studio version. Avi just posted today what appears to possibly be the cover photo for his upcoming album, which everyone's awaiting with baited breath. Did you catch the 2 new songs he did back on April on the Mandolin livestream? I'm hoping that "First Place I Go" will be the first release.

[@jamescurfman3284]

OH! And another Johnny Cash cover that Home Free did (more recently than this one) is Folsom Prison Blues. That one is SOMETHING ELSE! I think you will LOVE it! :)

[@cheridampier2524]

The sing off version is my favorite of the two! For "knock you speechless bass" take a look at Misty Mountains with Peter Hollens and Tim Foust

[@lynelleharper3661]

These guys are incredible! Thanks for reacting, so fun!

[@laurah3152]

Great dual reaction... just subscribed for more Home Free!!! Since your lovely wife said she likes Johnny Cash, and you both enjoy deep bass, I highly recommend Home Free's cover of Johnny's "Folsom Prison Blues" ❣😁

[@jamescurfman3284]

There are a few videos on YT labeled 'Bass Vocalist Battles' in which both Avi and Tim appear. DEFINITELY worth checking out ALL of those videos, old ones to new ones! This will also introduce you to other Bass Vocalists such as Geoff Castallucci of the group VoicePlay. The Beat Boxer for Home Free is a World Champion of Beat Boxing. There are videos of that, too. :)

[@steby123]

Tim Foust the Home Free bass is probably one of the best bass voices in A Capella music .

[@CarlaDelk]

Great reaction! Their bass singer from Homefree Tim Foust has 5 octave range. He can go basement bass and up in tenor range. To hear him sing in low, low range the whole song check out " Misty Mountains by Peter Hollens featuring Tim Foust. It will blow your mind. Homefree lean more country but do sing all genres of music. You said you like Boyz2 Men. They do a cover of "End of the Road". Homefree is phenomenal. Their beatboxer/ vocal Adam Rupp aka the beast has won competitions. They do all kinds of music.

[@helgatornkvizt5412]

Adam Rupp has won the world championship in Beat boxing 😃

[@Tribblepuppy]

You will notice at the end Avi takes off his beanie cap and puts on a cowboy hat in homage to Home Free. Yeah, that was Tim, who can go even lower. Great reaction, and it does have a Christmas-y feel. 😄

[@DRHHUB]

I think it is the fire crackling which gives it that feel.

[@sherrismith8337]

More songs to check out from Home Free are "Folsom Prison Blues", "Do You Hear What I Hear", "Fishin' in the Dark/Boondocks", "Helplessly Hoping", "Blue Ain't Your Color" and "Moonshine".

[@marcgarrett4401]

It was great to meet you Sarah. Great reaction, great song. Home free also cover Fulsom prison blues by Johnny Cash also

[@robgerhardterellen1488]

Touching cover, also happy funny.

[@sjgavenger37]

In the first home video I suggested that if you want to hear Tim Foust's full range in one song listen to Home Free cover of "Your Man". But watch the live version as it is very entertaining and has a little extra that the official video doesn't have.

[@carinalundstrom7566]

LOL great example. It's a blessing when she has time to join me. We are polar opposites and that is probably why it works :)

[@roberthudson1959]

Home Free 101---This is the "Sing Off" lineup. Beatboxer Adam and baritone Chris Rupp formed the group in 2000. Tenor Rob Lundquist (glasses) joined the group in 2008, the same year they went full-time. Bass Tim Foust stabilized that lineup spot in 2010. HF found tenor Austin Brown aboard a cruise ship in 2012. Chris Rupp left in 2016, and helped choose bass-baritone Adam "Chance" as his replacement. The current lineup has been together ever since.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

That is why in May 2016 when Chris Rupp left and Adam Chance joined Home Free, with his ability to be a bass too, it has made Home Free much better. Think also how much content Home Free has produced being in quaqrantine, while other bands have been fairly slack. Also that last note is a G1 and is about an octave lower than most singers caqn go. Home Free does all genre's including R&B...like End of the Road by Boyz2Men...watch it you may be impressed.

[@wrv3867]

I definitely agree Kevin. The addition of Adam Chance made an already great sound even better.

God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood ( original singer and song writer) and the United Statees Air Forse singing Seargents. They do a lot of country music also, and they have several originals.

[@sc0repio662]

Listens to them talking about the bass singing at 04:05 & waits patiently to see their reactions on Tim's last 9s long note.... You want TRULY impressive audio? Listen to the Peter Hollens & Home Free Collaboration cover of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" Just Peter & the HF boys - along with a background choir of over 250 of their Patreon supporters... It's not only wonderful for the vocals, but the leveling & equalizing of so many disparate sound sources of the individual videos of the choir members to make them sound like they were all in the same location & the same equipment is a truly impressive feat of sound engineering. Oh, and ya STILL need to complete the 5 Part Harmony Acapella triple crown by listening to some VoicePlay Looking forward to your reaction to their version of "Oogie Boogie's Song"
