Adam was also singing at the end of American Pie. I think some of those beautiful high notes were actually his. He has a great voice but prefers to do percussion.
Hey Guys...the lead singer is Austin Brown, and he's the high tenor for Home Free. However, he does have his own youtube channel, just called Austin Bown, and has some covers but also some original music too....look hi, up he's phenomenal !! As for Home Free don't be gone so long....they've been producing music all through the pandemic. If you noticed they were distancing filming this...each was at home and recorded from home excvept for Austin, who was in a studio...and thosexy looks he was giving to his Lady, Amberly, who was there to inspire him to sing well....I think they succeeded !!! Go for a funny Home Free next, as these guys love to cut up...it's kinda dated now but is still funny, do thei "Butts Remix/Medly" 6 booty songs they do an amazing mashup.
And to see his lovely lady check out Home Free's video Brother and Austin's video Take the Night Off. Also check on Austin's Earn It, which is my favorite of his "solo" videos.
Pentatonics tends to be more rigid about how they split up the load. Home Free, IMO, is more likely to do what's best for the song first, and then work out how to make sure everyone gets sufficient spotlight over time. So some pieces they really do hand around the solos--a verse each. But other songs, like this, are so clearly built to be solo-with-backup, and rather than weaken the emotional punch of that one-man wail of love they simply gave it to Austin--the high tenor with the falsetto to manage it with absolute ease. But they've given other pieces to Rob (End of the Road). "Hillbilly Bone" is built around Tim's bass. Chance is the spearhead in "Cover Me Up." There are songs like "American Pie" that benefit from splitting up. Others are best largely unified. That's the thing about Home Free. Of all the a cappella groups, they are the least "about" the a cappella show-off, and the most about just using their many skills to produce the very best version of each song they can. It's not about "ooh, lookie-lookie, we are doing this without instrumentation." It's "listen to this incredible song." They do the very, very best they can for each different piece, and they do not betray the heart of the music.
I have found that the members of Home Free are never "selfish", wanting the spotlight on them. They are more than happy to let the spotlight hit someone else in the group and they stay in the background. That's one of the best things about Home Free. They seem to truly care about one another and they are more concerned about making the music the best it can be, rather than who gets the spotlight.
I totally agree! Home free is the best in my eyes I love them so much. I like some of pentatonix but I love all of home free's work.they are amazing!❤❤❤❤🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟
They share the lead on songs depending on which song they're singing. The did American Pie with the original artist Don McLean, and each of the vocalists takes the lead on a verse. It is over an 8 minute song. The also share verses in other songs too. Enjoyed the reaction!
This group is great for taking turns with versus and songs to show all of their individual talents as well as letting just one of them do their thing in some videos to I think it's great I think that this acapella group is really the most talented I love these guys
@@kennethbecht857 Bobby Hatfield does great with 'Unchained Melody', and set the bar very high with his rendition - against which everyone since has been compared. Austin Brown EASILY clears that bar. His solo of this song is amazing !
So Home Free actually shared the limelight even more than Pentatonix does. Basically one member will take the lead, usually for a few videos, then they switch. The only one that doesn't take a turn is their beat boxer, Adam Rupp, and he doesn't because he doesn't want to. I've heard he's oddly why about normal singing. He dies sing in a few of their videos, but only background normally. (he sings a little in some of their live shows).
Hi there... Sledge tells this story about the impetus for the song: He was an orderly at the Colbert County Hospital during the days and a singer in an local band at night. One night he found he was so upset about a woman and a broken relationship that he couldn’t perform. His emotions got the better of him and he turned to bass player Calvin Lewis and organ player Andrew Wright and asked them to play a slow blues backing and he would sing what he was feeling. Sledge says the trio later reworked the idea he’d ad-libbed that night into the recorded version of the song. This Sledge song is the first in a long line of great songs recorded at the Muscle Shoals Sound studio in Sheffield, AL.
I think you guys would really enjoy My Church from home free, it shows a little more verse swapping. They tend to all sing it and vote who's vocal is the strongest for each song. They each have such unique qualities. Another that shows off all of them is Take me home country roads. New Home Free sub. I just can't get enough if these guys. Thanks for a great reaction.
Home Free shares but they do often have a lead, and this song just called for one man to sing it. If you want to hear them share react to their cover of American Pie....each gets his turn
You need to check out more of Home Free hope you go down that rabbit hole there is a lot to choose from each one takes the lead depending on which vocal is the best for it Troy Man of Constant Sorrow and blue ain't your color also check out their beatboxer Adam Rupp drums solo. No matter what you pick out it's going to be mind-blowing!🧨
I agree....I believe their rendition of "Man of Constant Sorrow" is probably the best song to get a taste of each of their voices. Looking forward to watching you guys go down the Home Free rabbit hole! You will be "Home Fries!" before you know it!
Love this reaction! I think their cover of Mayday is a good one for seeing them split the load up a little more, plus a few surprises if you're familiar with who usually does what within the group. :)
Thanks so much! Am sure you heard below from someone that this is just an uuusal song where only one person sings the lead. This song was just made for one high tenor lead. Most songs you will hear two to all four singing solos. The four guys are all great soloists. That's what makes HF so special! And the harmonies and arrangements are to die for. Keep doing the HF journey and we'll all be here for it! Take care.
Hi and welcome to Home Free. They’re so good. Each of them can sing and do depending on who’s best for the song. Austin and Adam (beatboxer) killed it. Tim, the bass, has a 5 octave range so he can sing low but sing tenor as well. The beatboxer is so good too, one of the best in the business. Try Helplessly Hoping, In the Blood, End of the Road, How Great Thou Art, Die a Happy Man to hear more great harmonies. Good reaction!
Great reaction! They share the spotlight differently than PTX( which is anazing). They usually put a different main lead in different songs. So they each gets different songs to shine in. Homefree 101: oe tenor which had lead in thi Austin Brown. Amazing!, 2and tenor Rob Lundquist beard and glasses which had the lead in End of the Road video you did. Also amazing! Their bass singer is Tim Foust. Had long hair in End of the Road video but cut it short in this one. Has a 5 octave singing voice. Which means he can sing tenor parts all the way down to low,low bass. Check out the cover of Misty Mountain ( from the Hobbit) by Peter Hollens featuring Tim Foust to hear him sing in low bass. He is phenomenal! Their bass/ baritone ( who takes over bass when Tim is singing lead) dark hair with beard is Adam Chance goes by Chance sings lead in " Cover me up". He is honey voiced. And beatboxer/ vocal percussionist is Adam Rupp. Aka the freak of nature. In my opinion the best! He is cofounder of the group with his brother Chris Rupp who you will see in older videos but has since left the group. Thank you for your reaction! Please react to more!
All these guys get to do their thing at some point. Some songs only feature one or two singing verses. But they all get their chance. They have been around a long time so you can find videos of all of them being the featured singer.
Great reaction! Love your puppy, I think he’s an Austin fan! LOL! Austin Brown did an amazing job. If you want to hear each of them sing, try: Rob Lundquist, full beard and glasses, End of the Road or Blue Ain’t Your Color. Adam Chance, yellow plaid shirt and goes by Chance, Some Girls Do or Cover Me Up. Tim Foust, basso profundo, Folsom’s Prison Blues or Man of Constant Sorrow. Adam Rupp, beatboxer extraordinaire, How Great Thou Art. Also, they each take a verse in American Pie featuring Don McLean (writer and original singer of the song), except Adam who does sing harmonies on the last verse. Any song you do though will have a wonderful mix of voices and you won’t be disappointed in anything you choose. New sub, hoping for more Home Free.
You mentioned the beatboxer not getting camera time? Watch his drum solo. BTW, he and his brother Chris started the group. He won many competitions and sings as well. Chris Rupp was the original singer. Adam Rupp is the beatboxer, Tim Foust can sing below G1 all the way up to tenor. The baritone, Adam Chance sometimes sings bass, and Adam Rupp can as well. Watch Peter Hollens Misty Mountains featuring Tim. He finishes with a note that is so low, it's felt more than heard. Headphones are a necessity. Enjoy your reactions!
Really liked your reaction and yes they let Adam their beeboxer shine he just doesn’t like the spot light . Go watch him do his solo from their live shows he’s awesome and he does have a great voice he shows that in how great thou art and helpless hoping but each one of these guys are unique. Hope you enjoy watching them as much as I have
The guys so really well for each other. It depends on the song, because they want is best for the group. If one is shining they basically step back and let that one take over. There are a lot of suggestions, below and you can't go wrong with any of the songs. If you want fun...Feelin It...or...Friends in Low Places...what ever song perks your interest and you will be happy. Whenever you are ready. Thanks for reacting to this song.
There are MANY MANY excellent HF videos to explore. Early in their HF exploration, most reactors view "Man of Constant Sorrow" and "Ring of Fire" (featuring a guest appearance by Avi Kaplan.) You will also get many suggestions to view HF's cover of "Mayday" by Cam. In order to enjoy this to its fullest, you must be familiar with all the guys and their voices. For most of us, that takes 6 or more "normal" videos before enjoying "Mayday." It's an excellent performance, and when you get there, you'll understand the reason for waiting! :-)
Home Free shares the leads….depending on the song. How about “AMERICAN PIE”….it’s was the 50th anniversary of the song…& Don McLean does it with them!!! He’s still got it !!!!!
They all can and do sing lead (even the beatboxer sings on some songs - he has a lovely tenor and a surprisingly wide vocal range). One of the (many) things I love about this band is the lack of egos. Even if one of them has written the song (both Austin -lead on this) and Tim (bass) are song writers), if they think someone else sounds better, that's who will sing it. For example, Tim wrote the song "Remember This" but doesn't sing lead on it. Fall down the Home Free rabbit hole - they don't have a genre. They sing everything from country to pop, gospel to goofy and even opera.
Everyone except Austin has the lead at some point in their cover of "In the Blood". If you want to see their humorous side, "Butt's Medley" is great. If you want to see Adam Rupp's versatility, "Man of Constant Sorrow" is a must. Other personal favorites of mine that feature each of them: "Helplessly Hoping", "Mayday", and "Auld Lang Syne". They also have a cover of "Ring of Fire" featuring Avi Kaplan.
A nice four Wow! reaction. They are good. If you are going to check out some beat boxing, you should check out Home Free's beatboxer in "Adam Rupp's Drum Solo". You can hear other members vocals in "American Pie", "Folsom Prison Blues", "In the Blood", "Blue Ain't Your Color", and many others.
New Subscriber, came for Homefree! Great reaction! You should definitely check out more of their stuff. They do share the lead in some videos. Alot of them have a main lead but the change the main lead in different songs. Check out their covers of " Cant stop the feeling", " In the Blood" "Hillbilly Bone" or their original "Land of the Free". If you want to watch Homefree's beatbixer / vocal percussionist Adam Rupp, he has a couple of drum solo videos on youtube you should check out. Us Homefries( Homefree fans) will be here. We love these 5 very talent guys! Thank you for your reaction!
Hi guys - thanks for the Home Free reaction. usually they all split the verses, but if one person is particularly suited to the song, then they go with a lead singer. In this case their high tenor could do the song the best justice, so they let him run with it/ If you wish to hear them all do a verse, please listen to (Bye Bye) Miss American Pie. They covered this classic with the original singer/songwriter on the 50th anniversary of the song.
watch home free's Man of Constant sorrow, you'll get to hear solo verses from Austin, Rob and Tim. And do Mayday for all four, Adam Chance gets a small solo in that one where he hits a crazy note :)
Please react to more Home Free, in my opinion they are more flexiable than the other mentioned group. They tend to do what the song tells them, what is best for the song. After I discovered these guys I have never listened to the others.
If you like more of a POP accapella check out the band VoicePlay (Oogie Boogie song, Kiss, Tennessee Whiskey, Moana Medley, Boy Bands in 5 Minutes, Superstition, Carry on Wayward Son and others)
You should definitely check out How Great Thou Art. They each song their own part (even Adam the beatboxer) and it's absolutely beautiful. Beautiful scenery too being filmed in the Alps.
Great reaction!! If you want to check out some more acapella you should check out Voiceplay their Moana Medley, Little mermaid medley, Boy bands in 5 min, Queen in 5 min, Oogie Boogie song all great options
Just found y'all, interesting reaction. Headphones needed to pick up some of the more subtle harmonies and vocal treats they insert for us listeners. Your major downer was wanting to hear each person, then song selection comes into play and leaves you both in a tough spot because to keep it authentic you don't know. Please know the Home Fries are just trying to help steer you in the direction you've voiced wanting to go, nothing personnel (at least hopefully not). I would suggest Helplessly Hoping even tho it is short all five sing. Be safe and thanks for reacting 🎵🎧😉
If you haven't already, you should check out Voiceplay. One of their best (in my opinion) is "Just Sing", which is a HUGE collaboration with MANY other a capella artists. If/when you do that one, be sure to turn on the captions. They included information about who everyone is, as well as a few snarky remarks. FYI, Home Free, and Voiceplay competed against each other on "The Sing-Off". Home Free won, but Voiceplay is still amazing.
Just discovered you. I'd recommend (oldest to newest): Ring of Fire Movin' On [Chris Rupp's departure song from the group] How Great Thou Art Mayday Man of Constant Sorrow The Gambler Folsom Prison Blues American Pie Sea Shanty Medley
