Home Free - Sea Shanty Medley Reaction 

If you want more of that, there is the official live recording during a concert when they were on tour. It is fantastic watching the crowd react. And if you think that was bad; when Home Free released this "Sea Shanty Medley" during the lock down and it went viral, the game company Ubisoft saw it and was so impressed by them that they reached out to Home Free and asked if they would be interested in creating an original song for their game (which was in development) Skull and Bones. Of course they jumped on that and their one and only sea shanty enthusiast, Adam Chance stepped up and wrote an absolute master piece. Ubisoft introduced them and their song at the Summer Game Fest 2023, along with the lyric video which is what we had until now. They finally released their official music video of their original Sea Shanty, "Skull & Bones". This video incorporates elements of the game into the story depicted in the video. Well worth the wait, love it. What an epic original sea shanty by Chance and Home Free. Absolutely a must watch. They released an album of songs they did on the Sing Off in 2013 (which they won). Cruise, Life is a Highway, Ring of Fire, Colder Weather, Pretty Woman, I Want Crazy and Stand By Me. That ought to get you started on the Home Free rabbit hole. But there is SO much more. They are masters of all genres. Their covers are upgrades, their medleys are brilliant, their collaborations with the original artists are inspirational, and their original songs are masterpieces. They can do just about anything and they continue to grow and improve, yet they remain so humble. When they have featured guest artist, they support and allow their featured artists to shine. Several of them have their own channels and do some solo work. And just for fun Rob and Austin sing Opera. What else can I say? Their catalogue of work is quite large and continues to grow. You are in for an exciting journey and the Home Fries will be there for you all the way.

On some date around mid-June 2017 an outdoor Home Free concert was interrupted, then ended by a severe and unexpected rain/thunder storm. The guys followed many of the concert goers to a tent to wait out the storm in hopes of continuing, with no luck. So the guy of Home Free decided to gift their fans with one last song, with no mics, no set, and no special lighting. Many in the crowd recorded them on their phones as they sang so there are many videos from many different angles and distances back. Their rendition of How Great Thou Art in Kearney, MO on 6/17/2017 is one of the most beautiful, amazing, and simple pieces they've ever done. I've saved seven videos, plus four of my favorite reactions to it. I think you'll enjoy the ones you can find.

#HOMEFREE ! Simply the best !

It was done during the lockdown. The beatboxer is Adam (in white here with spikey hair), the Gregorian sound from Man Of Constant Sorrow was the main lead singer in this one Chance is his name (or Adam Chance but most call him Chance not to get the 2 Adams mixed up.) and he's their baritone, but also can sing bass. Tim is the super bass, He's the guy in the Jack Sparrow outfit here, you can hear his rumble bass clearly in this song. He does have a rare 5- octave range and can sing very low to very high as well. Rob is the big bearded guy with glasses, He is their lower tenor and has a very smooth voice, and up high in the rafters is their high tenor Austin (in the red outfit), He sang lead in Man Of Constant Sorrow and he can do some amazing vocal riffs and has very powerful vocals. If you read all of this I'd like to request another one they did during those times it's a classic Johnny Cash song called "Folsom Prison Blues." Thanks!

Yes, this was done during the pandemic. It went viral and attracted the game maker Ubisoft to them. They asked HF to write a new shanty for their game Skull and Bones. Check it out. It’s a great banger of a shanty. There’s also a live version of this shanty you can see. Home Free put out a lot of content during Covid and they were so clever filming on their phones. Skull and Bones, Folsom Prison Blues, Brothers in Arms. 😍😀😃

Good call, this was done during lockdown. You would make a great Home Fry, hope you will join us! HF does a live in concert video of the medley, it's great!

Yes, they made this during lockdown. They actually made several wonderful videos during that time, including "Flowers on the Wall" "Down To the Honkytonk" and "Quarantine" as well as several others. Home Free is a great rabbit hole to go down! You should also check out some of their covers such as In the Blood, Life Is a Highway, Hillbilly Bone, Listen to the Music and some of their funny ones such as Butts Remix. That one is absolutely hilarious and shows our guys sense of humor. Enjoy the journey and you'll pick up many subscribers along the way, as we follow the reactors that take care of our guys pretty closely. Peace and love from Kentucky! Tim Foust- Bass (but can sing tenor) Adam Rupp- Founding member and Beat boxer Rob Lundquist- Tenor (dark hair, full beard) Austin Brown- High Tenor (slender, beard) Adam Chance- baritone Occasionally in older videos you may see Chris Rupp, Adam's brother and the other founding member (such as in videos from the Sing Off) however, he left and was replaced by Adam Chance.

Also listen so some of their older stuff . . . Hillbilly Bone, Delta Dawn, Helplessly Hoping, Workin For A Livin , End of The Road . . . just a few too get you started.

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. They recently released a professional live recording of this medley.

Welcome to the rabbit hole! HF has fantastic covers and equally fantastic originals. So many genres, so many 'lead' singers, such talent, and such truly great guys. Enjoy!

Thanks for reacting to this quarantine masterpiece. Home Free Home Fry

I've subscribed. I'm 70 and ADORE these boys! They are kind, inventive and GREAT FUN!! WATCH THIS MEDLEY LIVE!!! They don't take themselves too seriously and produce some real fun videos. Butt's Medley etc. You are about to embark on the ride of your life. Best thing is their audiences can cover 4 generations. They call their concerts... parties ... and they really are. Nana Karen UK

The group started in 2001 by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp They won The Sing Off season 4 2013 that's where they became very popular. They are the only country A Capella ( all vocals no instruments)group but they are honestly do so so much more than just country music they can sing any genre and they do. There is no Lead singer in the group.They each ( except Adam )sing the song and who’s ever voice or voices sound right for the song gets the lead unless is a bass/ baritone song then that’s Tim or Chance.A lot of time they each have a part in the song. Fans of Home Free are known as Home Fries and are very loyal to the guys. Adam Rupp: Beatboxer Extraordinaire can make any sound imaginable (A whole drum kit, harmonica (his Nomonica we call it )plane flyovers, trains, castanets, bugs ,birds etc).Co founder from Mankato Minnesota. Rob Lundquist :Lead tenor(beard and glasses) Very soulful voice and master whistler from Minneapolis,Minnesota Tim Foust :Bass (had long dark hair now short with grey ) 5+ octave range can go so low he blows speakers or sky high from Nederland,Texas Austin Brown:High Tenor ( Long wavy hair )Voice of an angel from Tifton Georgia.He will be leaving the group in the fall. Adam Chance(Aka Chance):Baritone/Bass Deep,rich voice(Does the juice harp sound in Man Of Constant Sorrow) has short dark hair short beard from Baldwin County,Alabama.Replaced Chris Rupp ( Adams Brother and co founder in 2016) They have collaborated with many singers and legends Don McLean:American Pie Oak Ridge Boys:Elvira Kenny Rodgers:Children Go Where I Send Thee (Please watch the end message) Billy Gilman:One Voice Alabama:Christmas In Dixie Mark Wills:Don’t Laugh At Me ( important message at the end ) Lee Greenwood & US Airforce Band:God Bless The USA Any many many more. They have 3 amazing songwriters in the group Tim,Austin and Chance so they have a very large playlist of covers and original songs End of the Road (Boyz 2 Men cover ) When A Loves A Woman Helplessly Hoping (5 part harmony masterpiece ) Unchained Melody Butts Medley/ Remix Listen To The Music Can’t Outrun You Brothers In Arms Stargazer Trilogy( All Originals written by Austin) Give Me A Sign ( Chapter 1) Stargazer Lilies( Chapter 2) MR ( mister) (Chapter 3) Skull And Bones ( original written by Chance for Ubisoft new video game Skull And Bones) Might As Well Be Me ( Original) Playing With Fire ( Original) Remember My Name (Original) Oh Pretty Woman Life Is A Highway Stand By Me Cruise I Want Crazy Colder Weather Ring Of Fire Jump Right In ( newest release) Mayday(DON’T WATCH TILL YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE GROUP AND THEIR RANGES ) There's not a song that you pick from their 200+ catalog that is bad I haven't found one yet. They are just funny, down to earth, humble nice guys.They are the best A Cappella group there is Sorry for the long read 🍟😊

Some of my favorites are Listen to the Music, End of the Road, Butts Medley, Country Fried Pop Medley, Brothers in Arms and Go Rest High on that Mountain. You can't go wrong with anything by them, though!

Brothers in arms is one of my fav. Its amazing! =)

Love watching you discover my favorite group!

A must see is "When a Man Loves a Woman". The high tenor, Austin Brown, takes the lead but the back up by the others is stuning.

The live version rocks. This was done during the pandemic in 3 different states and five different homes 😮

For some newer bangers, check out: Ring of Fire (2024 release) I Want Crazy Life Is A Highway For more from Lockdown: Moonshine Meet In The Middle When A Man Loves A Woman The Gambler Older, classic Home Free: Elvira ft the Oak Ridge Boys The Butts Remix Country Fried Pop Medley All About The Bass Great reaction! ❤

Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of the songs. For feel good music - Love Train, Listen to the Music, Brother, Life is a Highway, Folsom Prison Blues, the Butts Medley, Country Fried Pop Medley…so, so many

Have to do the Butt's Medley...they do country, rap, and rock in that one.

🎼🎼🎼⛵️⛵️⛵️ ... great reaction, you are in for a ride !! You really can't go wrong ... but I will suggest you try ... "How Great Thou Art" for starters. ... if you are a fan of Johnny Cash , I would definitely recommend you react to "Ring Of Fire" .. featuring Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix, another superb acupella group. Enjoy thr dive , it is truly something to behold !! .. ⛵️⛵️⛵️🎼🎼🎼

They just dropped a new one today called jump right in, ring of fire 2024 version, skull and bones, life is a highway, stand by me, just to name a few

Welcome to the rabbit hole new Home Fry. Subbed, liked, and while I have my favorite songs, I also am a fairly new fry, so I will leave the recommendations to others.

Castanets? CASTANETS????!!!!! Adam (beatboxer) killed it on this one! The other guys did too, of course!!! Keep on keepin' on, man!

Yes during Covid, please react to their live version of this song. You will see that they are just as good live as recorded. It was Adam Chance (Known as Chance because there are two Adams) who made that sound (Gregorian sound) in the last song All the guys are good at making different sounds but Adam Rupp is the beatboxer who carries the group.

#HomeFree ❤❤❤

Yep, lockdown! These guys are so good this is what you get when they phone in a performance.

Homefree members are Austin Brown high tenor, lead tenor Rob Lundquist, their beatboxer and one of the founding members of the group who helped start it Adam Rupp doing are the cool sounds their baritone/bass Adam chance Known to us homefries as Chance so their is no confusion since there's 2 Adam's in the group and last their Bass Tim Foust. Chance,Austin,and Tim have solo channels you should check also if someone hasn't I think I should let you know in the fall Austin is leaving homefree so if you can see them live near you I highly recommend doing so.

This was definitly filmed close to the end of quarantine here in the USA.

Line up time!!! The beatboxer is Adam Rupp, co-founder of the group. (He starred the group in 2000 with his brother Chris, Chris left the group in mid 2016) The "gregorian chant" you heard was Tim Foust, the bass singer (dressed like Jack Sparrow) doing the bass line though he does have a lovely upper range. Next is Adam Chance, (known as Chance) the baritone that can also do bass (He was the first one you saw in the video. Most times will be wearing a hat. Next is Rob Lundquist tenor with alot of versatility. (Beard and glasses) and last but not least is Austin Brown, high tenor. (Red shirt and sword) who can sing in pure tones.

If you love this one you so should check out their live performance of this song plus if you want to see a chance pirate video you so need to check out skull and bones. The sea shanty was filmed one their phones during lockdown when they couldn't be in the same place. You should check out some of the live videos on youtube that fans have taken at there concerts.

You need to check out the concert version. They sound just like this.

Nice reaction G. In order to make your channel grow try very hard to put out 3+ videos per day consistently for awhile. The volume will help your exposure and your algorithms. It’s a lot of work but the payoff is there. You are good and genuine reactor. Try hard for the consistency and to pump out the content.

You should check out All About The Bass, The Butts Remix, Country Fried Pop and a live performance of Guilty Pleasures. These al, show their comedic sides. Have fun.

G, you have no idea what you just got yourself into. lol! If you ever have a chance to see these fellas live you've got to take it. Have a great day!

#HOMEFREE

You ain’t heard nothing yet, they really are great, saw them in England last year, so many I could recommend but you will find them for yourself.

I caught you today and am now a new sub. You gave us a good reaction, and I’m ready for more!! I will also listen to other groups/solo artists to hear a variety of what you like. 🎶 Cyd

Yes, filmed during lock down from their individual homes .

The live concert version of this is great, too. I suggest their cover of Stand By Me or their recent original Playing With Fire. The vocal percussionist extraordinaire is Adam Rupp. For a really good look at his abilities within the group, try their cover of the Doobie Brothers' iconic Listen to the Music. There are also many videos of his concert "drum solo". I've seen them live twice and his solo knocked me out both times. This is one of my favorites: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pZz6uhEzSSY.htmlsi=R_Gu77dpfqyV70ak He now uses a looper so he can layer the drums AND sing and harmonize with himself. Simply amazing.

Your next should be Boyz2Men cover of End of the Road, The Butts Medley or Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget. Looking forward to more Home Free reactions.

Love their sea shanty's. These boys are amazing. You need to check out Skull and Bones. This was done during lockdown. They have so many great songs. CK out their latest version of Ring of Fire and Stand By Me❤️❤️❤️❤️

Please listen to there cover of Listen to the Music it really makes you forget they are A Cappella!!

Skull and Bones

Ring of Fire, Folsom Prison Blues or Brothers in Arms would be great as your never reaction for them.

As a Brit, I'm a Home Chip😂

Nearly all of their songs are acapella. Occasionally they have instruments, but you’ll always see them being played. So far all percussion is beatboxing with no real drums being played. This song is an example of one that’s not quite full acapella since Chance is “playing” the guitar, or at least the back of the guitar. And now that I think of it, he’s playing it at percussion so there is at least East one song with non-beatboxing percussion.
