HOME FREE - "Ring of Fire" - First Time Hearing | Yes it rocks. 

Bahahaha love this reaction! Jase: "I'm scared." Me: YOU SHOULD BE 😆😆😆😆 Home Free is more country while PTX is more pop. Not that either group can't do the other genre well because they both can blast it all out of the water. But Avi... yeah, he'll always have a special place in my heart. You need to check out his solo stuff! His voice is like a soothing balm on your soul... and if you haven't had the privilege to hear his whistle, just you wait. Change on the Rise and I'll Get By are just a couple to check out!

You just heard two of the best basses in existence. Tim can actually go lower than Avi, but in my opinion, Avi has a richer tone. Most of us love both Avi and Tim, and most of us love both PTX and Home Free. Voice Play is another good a capella group (with a fantastic bass of their own), but if you want to have your brain melted, check out Voctave.

"Man of Constant Sorrow" a MUST do....

Jase over here crushin on Avi's voice. We see you. We feel you. It's okay. Lean into your love.

Avi’s voice: *drops* Jase’s sanity: *also drops*

Tim Foust hit the last low note. When Home Free did this on the sing-off, they did it in a lower key!

You are for sure going to be a part of the Pentaholics and Home Fries. Welcome to our groups Sir.

Tim Foust hits the last low note. Love both guys

"Man of Constant Sorrow" is a must if u wanna see classic Home Free

If you are into basses - watch Voice Play's The Oogie Boogey Song. Geoff Castellucci is RIDICULOUS

please do avi kaplins change on the rise, it will blow your mind

"This is not what we do on this channel." Oh, honey... yes it is.

His love for Avi touches my heart bro 😂😂😂😂

This group is Home Free, you will never be disappointed in ANY song they EVER sing and there are MANY!!! Please keep reacting to them!!!

Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. You're in for a fabulous ride! Yes, Tim can sing lower than Avi and, yes, he helped coach Avi on improving his low register. If you want to be totally blown away check out their official video for "Do You Hear What I Hear". Tim's subwoofer ear candy is off the charts. Adam Rupp does beatboxing things even professionals should try at home plus his arrangement is STUNNING. Keep the Home Free videos coming!

Adam Rupp is the beatboxer. He’s won beatboxing competitions, and is one of the best around today. Home Free started in 2000, with founders (and brothers) Adam Rupp and Chris Rupp. Other members have come and gone over the years. Chris left in 2016, leaving Adam the only OG member left. I adore Home Free. If you’re a Pentatonix fan, you’re a Pentaholic. If you’re a Home Free fan, you’re a Home Fry!!

Also: Home Free with Oak Ridge Boys: Elvira

It's weird, but some of Avi and Tim's best bass vocals ever, both come from songs by a guy named Peter Hollens, who as actually an OG of the RU-vid performance scene. If you want to be impressed, you should react to Peter Hollens "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair" feat Avi Kaplan and "Misty Mountains" feat Tim Foust.

The members of Home Free are as follows: Tim, the bass (with long black hair) not named Avi; Adam, the beatboxer; Austin, tenor (with long hair); Rob, tenor (with glasses and beard); and Chris, tenor (with cowboy hat, also brother to Adam). However, this is an older video and Chris has left the group to pursue a solo career. He has been replaced with Chance, barritone, who has an incredible range like Tim and will take over the bass part when Tim sings lead. You should definitely check out more of Home Free and Pentatonix as there really isn't a bad song between them; there just may be some you like more than others.

Home Free, Pentatonix, Voiceplay, Citizen Queen, and Acapop kids are all good a capella groups. The last two were started by Scott Hoying of Pentatonix and Ben Bram. Rock on.

Three things to search on RU-vid (search responsibly): "bass battle" (bass trigger warning, duh), "VoicePlay Oogie Boogie Man" (bass trigger warning), "Home Free drum solo". Not for the faint of heart; you have been warned.

I just came across your clips. I simply love how you almost lose your mind every time you hear Avi do something new. It's so pure and amazing. I love seeing people react to music like you.

Check out Avi’s Change on the Rise. There is also Disturbed’s version of Sound of Silence.

The two best vocal bands ever with the best bass singers and beat boxers in the business. Just my opinion but I would bet that others share it. Now, you HAVE to do more Home Free. I am glad I subscribed as you are now doing my three favorite groups ever (the third is NIghtwish). Thanks!

I’m glad you took my suggestion of checking this one out. Like I said: unique arrangement, two fantastic bass singers, all around good time. Home Free does a lot of other great covers and originals. Some of my personal favorites are Man of Constant Sorrow, End of the Road, My Church, and Butts Remix. Mayday is also amazing, but best heard after you’ve heard a lot of their other stuff. I’m excited to see your continuing journey of discovering Home Free and PTX.

Home Free - Country Roads, Man of Constant Sorrow, Love Train, Hill Billy Bone - to give you some variety in their music. They are hilarious as well as amazingly talented.

I know it's a Christmas song, but you should check out Home Free's.......Do you hear What I hear. The arrangement is awesome. Great reaction. Thank you

Both groups won the Sing-Off - Pentatonix in season 3 and Home Free the next year in season 4. Difference is that Home Free were already singing as a professional group for years before the Sing-Off, while Pentatonix got together just one day before their Sing-Off audition. Yes, they had to learn to sing together and perfect their arrangements during the competition. Mitch even missed his high school graduation to compete in the Sing-Off. The result was magic. Unfortunately, after season 5 NBC cancelled the Sing-Off, so it is no more.

Oh yes, Voiceplay next, their bass will vibrate your teeth.

I love how caught of guard and excited he gets. 🥰 It’s super wholesome.

You're becoming one of my favorite reactors LOL , love you're energy !! I love PTX, Home Free, Voice Play and Voctave . But most of all I love Avi ( solo or in PTX) . His new music is phenominal ( Change on the rise, I'll get by, Full Moon and many more) , but most of all the tone of his voice , and that's more important to me than how low you can go. I have now request, anything from this groups is great, you can't go wrong !!

Tim Foust - Bass 5 Octaves Rob Lundquist - Tenor Austin Brown - High Tenor Adam Rapp - Beatboxer (co creator of Home Free) Chris Rapp - Baritone (brother to Adam and Co creator, left to go solo a few years ago and was replaced by Adam Chance called Chance as baritone and bass backup) Avi...obviously known from PTX and now soloing as well Home Free fans are call Home Fries and the littles are called Tater Tots. They were the winners of the show Sing Off, but they’ve been playing professionally for years before that. The show just gave them a media boost. They consider themselves the only country a cappella group but they sing everything. More soulful and gospelly (sometimes) than other pop a cappella groups. Out of all a cappella groups I’ve seen live...they sound the most like their recordings. I heard some pitch and depth issues with PTX and Voctave and Voice Play live. I also think their arrangements are more original than Voice Play and Voctave, but that may just be that I’m not as pop oriented within the music genres themselves. Love them all, but I love the feeling in HF’s music the best, talent aside.

Dude, I can't wait for all the dozens of reactions about to happen. Also, black is the color of my True love's hair. Nuff said.

I don’t know if this has been suggested. Misty Mountains: Peter Hollens feat Tim Foust

PTX and Home Free won their respective seasons of the Sing Off but except for PTX visiting them on their season, I don't know of an instance where they all sang together. New sub requesting Can't Hold Us by PTX. You'll get a kick out of it. It's my fav.

Yes you should definitely listen to VoicePlay. They are another amazing group with a true Bass, Geoff Castellucci. Try OOGIE BOOGIE'S SONG The Nightmare Before Christmas

Home Free, "Seven Bridges Road," originally by the Eagles, is a MUST react.

Jase, I just love watching you react to Ring of Fire with Avi and Home Free singing. It's priceless!!❤

Another new sub. I came for the PTX , but Home Free works just as well. You will not find a bad song between them, even ones that may seem "out of your wheelhouse" will suck you in. In fact, it is not unusual to prefer the covers over the originals.

I just discovered your channel due to this song, and being a Home Fry! Oh, there is so much more to Home Free than you could ever imagine! They are the only Country A Capella group, but they’re so much more! They cover many genres, and as of last September, released an album with 10 original songs (4 are co-written by 2 members) and 2 awesome covers. They’re not only talented, but a great group of guys!! It’s official. I am a new subscriber who hopes to see more Home Free reactions because your reaction was priceless! It was so genuine, and I can tell that you really enjoyed the song.

Love your reactions man! Now you just need to do VoicePlay, and then you've seen the top 3 acapella groups out there. Here are some recommendations for each of the three. Keep up the great videos! Pentatonix : They have a song called "Love Again" which is an original song. Which I think based on your other videos that you would absolutely love this song. VoicePlay : I'd recommend starting off with The Oogie Boogie Song from The Nightmare Before Christmas .. They did an amazing job covering it and you'll get to hear their amazing bass Geoff (Pronounced Jeff). Him, Avi and Tim are without a doubt the top 3 basses out there. Geoff is my personal favorite. Home Free : They're my least favorite out of the 3 but they're still great. I'd recommend watching their cover of the song Mayday I really think you'll like that too.

Your reactions are so refreshing! Thank you for having an open mind and embracing all music!

i know that face, you fell in love with avi from that bass alone. totally understandable.

High notes are shared by Rob Lundguist and Austin Brown. Tim Foust is their bass, and he is famous, too, like Avi. Home Free won TV contest 2 years after PTX, and also formed and met just a few days before their first contest performance. Love,love, LOVE both groups! Ever song they do is magical. Glad that you, too, enjoy them tremendously.

Man of Constant Sorrow, Can't Stop the feeling, Do You Hear What I Hear, Catch Me if You Can, Timeless, The Butts Remix... Home Free's good! You'll get lots of suggestions. VoicePlay has a skit out called Road Trip. It's funny as heck. Straight No Chaser - Thriller / Uptown Funk and The Christmas Can Can. Lots of good music out there! Thank you! ^_^

Home Free was together 12 years before Sing Off. Pentatonix met the day before audition

Please listen to Helplessly Hoping by Home Free. I wouldn't believe anyone saying it's badly done after listening to it. Many of us have subscribed to your channel for more Home Free content. Don't disappoint us.

My brother used to sing this, and play the piano, on which had added thumb tacks to the hammers. I had not heard it since then, when I was about 16. I'm now 78. So, THANK YOU!!

Home Frees new video of Go Rest High on That Mountain is absolutely stunning as is How Great Thou Art. Another outstanding, different type of group is Voctave. They have soo many great songs, but I think the Great Movie Medley is one of my faves. Also love Voiceplay. So many outstanding groups that all offer something a little different

Home Free won The Sing-Off the year after PTX. The members are : Tim Foust, bass (the guy singing double lead with avi) Adam Rupp, beatboxer Austin brown, tenor (long curly hair) Rob Lundquist, tenor? (short brown hair, beard) Chris Rupp, baritone? (cowboy hat). Chris left the group in 2016 and was replaced with Adam Chance, baritone (reffered to as just Chance) They're more country while PTX is more pop, although there's been a few crossovers in style. For Home Free recommendations, some one my personal favorites are Hilbilly bone, Auld Lang Syne, In the Blood and Champagne Taste (on a beer budget)

You have got to react to Voiceplay’s version of Oogie Boogie Song. Their bass, Geoff, is really astonishing as well. Plus, this song shows his incredible range

I've watched many reactions to Pentatonix and other artists, and this is probably my favourite one! Thanks for making my day happier :D Greetings from South America!

If you love Avi’s low bass I highly recommend “Black is the Color of my True Loves Hair” by Peter Hollens and Avi Kaplan. Also, any of Avi’s new solo work. Digging your channel, bro!

I know it’s nowhere near Christmas, but Home Free’s version of “Do You Hear What I Hear”. The bass will blow. Your. Mind. I’ve been a huge fan of PTX since they were first on the sing off and Home Free being their successors is perfect. They are both groups of astounding artists!

If you really want to hear a song by Home Free where they are in their country element, try their cover of "My Church"

This may not be everyone's cup of tea when it comes to music, but the rendition Home Free done of 'How Great thou Art' is simply beautiful, the melodies and harmonics is breathtaking!!

Austin is the high tenor. They are all amazing.

LOVED your reaction! I love both Pentatonix and Home Free. Knowing how you like Avi's bass, I was excited to see your reaction to Tim's low note at the end. Pentatonix and Home Free actually won the competition "The Sing Off" in back to back years. Thanks for a great reaction.

Welcome to the rabbit hole, Jase! Once you've jumped into Pentatonix (aka PTX) and Home Free, it's hard not to just binge watch as much as you can! PTX is more modern pop, Home Free is Country. Pick your flavor! You have a long ways to go to catch up! Enjoy the ride and thanks for the great reactions!! Love seeing what everyone else thinks of the groups I love!

Ive watched this a number of times. You're reaction feels so much like how I felt seeing this the first time. Avi is king in my opinion. Maybe not the deepest voice but by far the best richest smoothest voice. Keep this up please. I love watching your ptx and homefree reactions.

Glad you finally got to them! They are amazing! Voice Play Oogie Boogie is a great one!

I freaking luuuuv it when Jase pauses it and just looks into the cam like, "wow" without saying a word! Gets me weeeeak!!!

Welcome to a whole new musical world! If you really want bass, check out voiceplay and their oogie boogie song. It’s INSANE! Also for sheer mastery in acapella, Pentatonix version of Gold and Daft Punk are ridiculously good. Lastly, Kevin Olusula, the Pentatonix beat boxer has his own RU-vid channel and the guy is amazingly talented beatboxing while playing the cello. Dude, you have so much to react to! Great job with the reactions. Keep em coming!

I was working live concerts when i discovered this song, and made our sound guy play it on the concert rig. You could feel the bass in your soul. and the sound guy didn't believe that a human voice could go that low

I really recommend Homefree's cover of Friends in Low Places and Misty Mountains with Peter Hollens ft Tim Foust (the guy who did the absurdly low note at the end)!!!

Welcome to Home Free. And yes.. Tim actually has a greater than 5 octave range and he hit the final note, and he actually taught Avi to reach lower notes than he already had. Each of them are incredible in different ways, Avi more classic, Tim more country, .. Tim blows subwoofers. lol. And yes, their beatboxer Adam is also a freak of nature. For more low notes from Tim, try Home Free's version of Man of Constant Sorrow, Your Man, Talking Out Loud/Lets Get It On, and... try Peter Holland with Tim Foust doing Misty Mountains, the note at the end vibrates the camera.

You might want to check out Misty Mountains with Peter Hollins and Tim Foust.

this was such a good reaction!! i was smiling the whole time. i’m so glad you found pentatonix, superfruit, and avi!!!

I think he is happy where he is now.

Tim Foust (bass) is from Texas, Austin Brown (high tenor) is from Georgia, Adam Chance (Baritone) is from Alabama, Adam Rupp (Percussionist) and Rob Lundquist (tenor) are both from Minnesota, where the group originated.

Home Free - Man of constant sorrow.

Pentatonix. Home Free. VoicePlay. Voctave. The four core acapella bands that have essentially taken over dominance in the acapella world. Pentatonix is known for their remixes of pop songs and their versatility. Avi is the king of silky sounding bass. C1-C#5 Home Free is known for their absurdly good harmonies (Helplessly Hoping / How Great Thou Art / Auld Lang Syne). Tim is the king of REALLY low growl notes and his impossible control over it (literally, no other person can growl with as much control as him). G0-A5 VoicePlay is known for their creativity and their bass. Geoff (the bass) is the king of subharmonics singing and can sing as low as Tim with it. A0-A5

If you have not reacted to Avi Kaplan's "Change On The Rise" yet... DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

These guys won the second season of The Sing Off and I've had the lovely pleasure of seeing them live. Tim (The guy with the longer hair) sings that really low bass. Avi probably jumped in this video for fun. ❤️ I think everyone misses Avi in general. 😊

Love PTX and Home Free! If you want to hear another great bass, you should check out Queen in 5 Minutes by Voiceplay! Love your reactions.

I'm sure people have already posted about this... but Avi is now doing solo work, and his "Change on the Rise" is amazing. Almost everything you hear on the track is him singing. The bass notes, the harmonies, etc. It's ear candy for sure.

"Warriors" by Voiceplay would be a great choice for the next one ;)

You’re reacting like I did when I heard those deep voices for the first time. I literally cried from joy.

Tim foust is the bass for home free he can definitely go lower than avi he actually taught avi a few things and helped avi to sing lower but they are both amazing basses you should definitely check out more of home free. Voice play is the other group their bass Geoff can also go lower than avi he’s an amazing bass as well but Tim can still go the lowest of the 3 I personally like Tim the best but it’s all personal preference lower doesn’t mean better

I've never seen someone so shook from listening to a song, it's pretty cool to see such a pure and passionate reaction.

If you really want to hear an insane voice check out Chris Stapleton's Sometimes I Cry @ The Bing Lounge

First thing, did you see the hat switch on Avi? Austin Brown, with long wavy hair, is the lead tenor, who fronts the group and sings most of the solos. Tenor harmony is sung by Rob Lundquist, baritone harmony is sung by Adam Chance, and Tim Foust sings bass, with the latter two switching roles occasionally. In addition to the four voices, percussion sounds are provided by beatboxer Adam Rupp. Although Brown is Home Free's primary soloist, all of the other members occasionally sing solos as well. Yes, Home Free won "Sing-Off" S4, 2013, the season after Pentatonix won.

Great to see you reacting to Home Free, and I look forward to seeing more reactions to them from you. If you love the bass, (and who doesn't 😉) you could try their version of Hillbilly Bone or In the Blood.

OMG, while om lockdown here in Virginia I have found a lot of new youtubers. I loved you reaction there home fry. More Home Free please. Stay safe, keep faith and spread the love over this net while we still can ( Edited) I am a new sub. FOX

Okay, well no need to suggest Home Free now, since you’ve seen/heard them now. Now all that’s left is to suggest more Home Free. Make sure to listen to some with both Chris and Chance in them. (This vid had Chris.) If I were to make a suggestion or two, In the Blood (originally by John Mayer) and How Great Thou Art. Really, though, you can’t go wrong with Home Free.

Battle of the Basses - Avi vs. Tim!!!! Just WOW!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your reaction!!!!

You have to react to "Black is the color of my true loves hair" by Peter and Avi Kaplan Then you will see the bass of his voice

TYING EVERYBODY TOGETHER: On December 2013 Season 4 Finale of The Sing-Off (NBC): • Home Free (winners) • VoicePlay (3rd) • Pentatonix (returning Season 3 Champions) The following July 2014, Home Free (feat. Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix) released this epic cover of Johnny Cash's {Ring Of Fire}. All three groups have 5 extremely talented individuals who can solo or blend with the other 4. But, as much as the main leads stand out - all 3 groups have extraordinary basses and incredible beatboxers. Without those two, none of the groups would have achieved such notoriety. The ability to build on a strong bass and a beatboxer laying a great percussion track enable each group to shine on the widest range of songs. None of the six should be compared - only savored, together or separately. Footnotes: VoicePlay featured a added female singer for The Sing-Off competition. My opinion is that she was not the 6th person they needed. And for The Sing-Off Tour (live), they replaced her with a female lead from another competition group (in order to perform same arrangements). The previous Spring 2013, VoicePlay (feat. Rachel Potter) released a superb video of {I Knew You Were Trouble/As Long As You Love Me medley}. Rachel successfully auditioned for X-Factor Fall 2013 (several successful performances, but she was too seasoned to make finalist cut for that competition) - OTHERWISE, Home Free could have had serious competition from VoicePlay! (#2 Filharmonic was good, but maybe not that good). Several of VoicePlay's best video releases over the years feature Rachel Potter. I think the latest is {Moana Medley} - a fun video. Earlier (pre-2013) Rachel Potter had been a princess vocalist at Disney World - a link to both VoicePlay and Voctave (a 12+ member a capella group that featured PTX's Kirstin in a Disney Medley). Peter Hollens lead his group, On The Rocks, on Season 2 of The Sing Off and has collaborated with other groups appearing in the competitions - including Home Free and Avi Kaplan formerly of PTX.

Definitely check out VoicePlay!! Their bass is absolutely amazing (my favorite personally), and if you want BASS go for Oogie Boogie's Song!!!

I love Pentatonix, Home Free, VoicePlay, but honestly my favorite person out of all these is Avi, he has such an amazing solo career and he’s a super musician with a lot of versatility. I think he has the richest tone out of all of them. He also does this cool thing with overtones where he sings two notes at once. You can also see videos where he goes and sings with choirs and you can see that he really enjoys teaching the kids.

More home free

3:15...I had the same reaction. Which is why I subscribed and clicked the notification button! I think I would die if Geoff, Tim, and Avi did a battle of the bass type thing. Like seriously, my brain would explode. But I'd die with a smile on my face!

I have to recommend 'Oogie Boogie's Song' by VoicePlay - I think the bass in that, Geoff, will make you walk off more than once!

Home Free's bass (Tim Foust) has a 5+ octave range (there are 2 live videos on y/t where he's blown out speakers). Austin Brown (long curly hair) can hit notes 2 octaves above the tenor staff. Austin & Rob Lundquist (glasses) have a duet of "Nessun Dorma" (on Austin's channel) that is mind-blowing. They are all vocal chameleons. If you get time, watch "9-5 Beatboxing Breakdown" - astonishing.

This was great!! I love how both Tim and Avi do their Bass Face before they really get into the low notes! If you want another one that will knock your socks off, do Home Free "Man of Constant Sorrow"!! You won't be sad that you did!

I love that this guy is actually me whenever i watch avi sing ...i need to process everytime ...he is just ssooo soo damn good and i keep on replaying his parts

Avi so effortlessly drops freaking octaves and it sounds perfect and sooo smooth.

when they changed the tempo and you said 'I wasn't ready for this' I think was the reaction we all had, watching it the first time haaahaha. and your jumping about and not being able to contain the sheer excitement resembles my own. I just do it bouncing on the sofa with hands flailing in the air. subscribed btw.

VoicePlay was the other group, however, VoicePlay was in the same season of the Sing Off as Home Free (Pentatonix won the prior season) & Home Free beat out VoicePlay. On the Sing Off, the judges mention that Tim was the only true bass on the show that season. Geoff Castellucci was/is a true baritone, BUT Tim had worked with him after the contest to help him hit the lower octaves without hurting himself. Geoff has even said that on his YT tutorial vids. Avi has a more buttery tonality than Tim, but Tim can sustain the notes longer in the dragon's breath (chest note growls) than Avi. Tim had worked with Avi as well about sustaining the notes & not hurting himself. Love all of the bass guys in each of these groups.

Tim's final note in this performance is a G1 (49 Hz). When they did this in the 2013 singoff, his final note was an F#1 (46 Hz). The difference is very noticeable for me, because my hearing only goes down to about 40 Hz. His 46 note, in my headphones, was partly audible and partly just vague ear pressure.
