Everything Home Free does has a purpose and meaning. I love how they feature all of their members and not just one. Adam does sing to and other members can also do some of the beat boxing. If you notice in this song Adam was singing part of the course when he was not doing the beat boxing. This is not your ordinary group their ability to complement each other and show case each other is amazing. There is no superstar ego tripping here just good down home boys and that is why I'm proud to call myself a Home Fry.
This is the kind of song that sets Home Free apart from others. They are all virtuosos in their own right no doubt, but unlike other a capella groups who rely on theatrics or over the top vocal calesthenics, these guys can just sit and sing and blow people away just with that tight, beautiful sound. To me, songs like this are more entertaining than the ones with more gymnastic moments. Awesome, and the video was a one shot, no edits. Simple and mind-blowing at the same time.
Dont worry the fries has helped many reactors get their subs up, you just keep the HF songs coming and the fries will come , and remember i told you before we are very loyal so a lot of us will sub , keep up the great work love from Denmark
Be very careful not to watch their Mayday cover too soon. You've listened to four Home Free songs but you still need to watch to a few more videos and get a clear memory of each singer and their vocal placement in the group. Tim Faust - Bass, last note Ring Of Fire, bass solo Man of Constant Sorrow, lead My Church. Austin Brown - High Tenor, lead Man of Constant Sorrow and When a Man Loves a Woman, accents My Church. Rob Lundquist - Tenor, lead End of the Road and Honey I'm Good, Adam Chance - Baritone, Lead Some Girls Do. But to hear them all: Helplessly Hoping, Auld Lang Syne, and How Great Thou Art (even Adam Rupp has a solo in How Great). Once you know their voices and where they fit only then watch Mayday or you won't be as impressed as you should. For fun watch Champagne Taste (on a Beer Budget), The Butts Remix, and All About The Bass (for best result watch Megan Trainhors original first).
Adam can sing, just prefers his Beat Boxing…..he does have a beautiful tenor voice. Do their…”HELPLESSLY HOPING”, a Crosby, Stills & Nash cover…Chance put it tog, & it’s AWESOMENESS 🙃❤️‼️👍.
@@lorrieriddle2211 yes, that one is brilliant as well. Adam is often the x-factor that holds them all together. He’s world-class in his beatboxing, but people often forget that he has a massive vocal range and an excellent singer also.
This is even better than the original by Old Dominion ....the arrangement is just amazing. Listen at the beginning when chance walks in an sings no one is harmonizing, and them immediate on the next beat Austin comes in harmonizing with him....GENIUS ! There are a bunch of hidden gems in this one...especially for us Home Fries....so glad you got to see one of their brand new songs....and yes Adam Rupp the beatboxer even sings in this one...listen for when there is no beat...he's singing when they go to the 5 part harmony....This is just so friggin GOOD !
Morning Adam, I subscribed when I saw you react to Marcelito Pomoy and so glad you've now found Home Free and tumbled down the rabbit hole. One of my favourites is Meet in the Middle also Helplessly Hoping, can't wait for your next reaction x
the 'drum kit guy' is Adam Rupp.. he does sing a fifth harmony part in some songs and rarely a lead part, wonderful tenor voice, you can hear him do a tiny lead vocal in the songs Quarantine and How Great Thou Art, he is the 'one man band'.
He also sings in Helplessly Hoping (they all do actually). While he prefer's beat boxing and doesn't have the same degree of formal training in voice that Austin does he has a great Tenor 1 voice.
@@angielewis11872 Not that I'm aware of. It's just another example of him "singing" rather than "beat boxing". It's why I didn't say lead vocals. He has a great voice just rarely uses it as a voice.
@@angielewis11872 Never an issue. I appreciate the comments and your knowledge. My addition could have been explained better for which I apologize (and I'm Canadian, I think we can apologize for anything no matter our level of involvement). Take care and have a great weekend.
This video actually has a very funny part (Patreon). In the behind-the-scenes video Tim, Austin, Rob and Adam decided to play a practical joke on Chance (since Chance was outside and wouldn't know what they were up to). In the beginning of the video when Chance walks into the building he finds the other four guys sitting on their stools with their pants pulled down around their ankles. Tim actually removed his jeans completely. Austin removed his shirt instead of his pants because he said his pants were to tight and he couldn't remove them fast enough. Next, this demonstrates Chance's sense of humor. He walks in and doesn't flinch, laugh or skip a beat. He simply starts to unbuckle his pants and goes with the flow!
Great reaction, yes they all sing including Adam the beat boxer. Check out, Country Roads by John Denver Home Free kills that song. Also check out Home Free's cover of End of the road by Boys to Men.
Welcome to the Home Fries! Everyone of these guys sing lead and then love to harmonize or back each other up. No huge egos just love what they do and who they do it with. Super entertaining and fun
They do, in fact, all sing. Here is a breakdown for you: Austin Brown, long hair, ginger, sings the entire tenor range and then some. Rob Lundquist, beard and glasses, same, but can go lower than Austin, into high baritone. Adam Rupp, beatboxer extraordinare, also a tenor, has a lovely voice when they do 5-part harmony. Adam Chance, short hair on the sides, looks a little bit like Leonardo DiCaprio, they call him Chance to avoid confusion, baritone-bass. If you hear Tim taking lead and there is still a solid bass line going on, that's Chance covering the bass line. Tim Foust, gray streak in the hair, absolutely the best country bass singer since Richard Sturbin from the Oak Ridge Boys, part dragon. They swap leads out at will. Because of Tim's massive 5-octave range, and the other guys also having wider vocal ranges than normal, in 5 singers they essentially have 5 tenors, 3-ish baritones, and 2 basses. It lets them arrange songs however they want to get the effect they want. They are amazing and by far my favorite band of all time, and I only just found them around the beginning of the pandemic. Sorry for writing War and Peace here but I love making new Home Fries.
I just caught up on your journey down the Home Free rabbit hole so far! I'm 7 years in and they still blow me away. I've seen them 18 times live so far and I can't wait for them to eventually get back to Europe so I can go to as many shows possible, because they are actually even better live than they are in production. Great reactions so far, keep them coming, and as far as to which of their songs to react to you can't go wrong, but you have now heard Austin singing lead a few times and a bit of the others so maybe "End of the Road", with Rob, the bearded wonder, killing it on main lead. To hear more of Chance, who started this song out, the baritone, I love Cover Me Up. To hear more of Tim, the bass singer, "Everybody Walking This Land, and to hear more of Adam, aka human drumkit, our freak of nature, Folsom Prison Blues is a good one. The thing with these guys is that they are so talented, skilled and diverse that they can keep surprising us, and they do with love, appreciation, joy, humour and style! Thank you! 🥰🙏
Tim is bass, Adam Chance is baritone and subsitutes as bass when Tim sings, , Rob and Austin are tenors and Adam Rupp is percussion but occasionally sings if needed.
Just an FYI about the history of this band... Adam Rupp, the one who does all the sound affects, and his brother Chris are the one's who started the group, they are from Minnesota... Tim Foust, the deep base is actually from Texas, the band found him on a you tube video, and they got together somehow.... Rob, the guy with the thick beard and mustache that you really like, I don't remember what state he's from, but if I remember correctly, he had just left a band he was with and then found Home Free and jointed them. Austin Brown, the high tenor is from Georgia.... he joined the group after the guys met him aboard a Cruise ship they were performing on, Adam Chance (goes by the name Chance), replaced Chris Rupp when Chris decided he wanted to try and go solo and he did pretty good for a while, haven't really caught up with him recently.... but Chance was already a part of the group but behind the scenes kind of thing... before Chance joined the group permanently, they were a band that won the competition on the show "The Sing Off" on TV... ...
Great reaction! Home Free could literally sing the menu and make it a beautiful song! Thank God they found each other so we get to enjoy the wonder of Home Free! Thank you for your fast reaction and please more HOME FREE! Stay safe and healthy and have a blessed day!
I'd recommend Home Free's cover of Mayday, it's another one of their songs where I'd say that absolutely blew the original away. this group is amazing and love all the songs they do!
Actual Adam Rupp does sing, he did on this song a little, if you watch him carefully you will see.. He is one of the BEST beat Boxers in the world though.
Yes, the drum kit guy does sing - watch How Great thou Art for a beautiful sample of his voice. One of the things that makes them so great is the way they let everyone take the lead based on what is needed to enhance the song(cover). They also create original content - Champagne taste on a beer budget is fun and California Dreamin is nostalgic.
Well done! I agree these guys are very talented. The beatboxer (Adam Rupp) Does sing occasionally and has a very nice tenor voice. I suggest one of their comedy offerings "Butts Remix" it will give you an idea of their wide range of skills. It is an older video and one of the founders Chris Rupp, Adam's brother has gone on to do other things. Left on good terms and was replaced by Chance. The first person you see in this video.
This was all done in one take also. They ran through it 5 times on the 4th time the guys played a trick on poor Chance. When he walked in he got a surprise and tried to keep from laughing and just went with it. When you can you need to watch the BTS of all of their videos. Most are hilarious. They have so much fun being together
Adam has a beautiful tenor voice, but he doesn't sing very often - prefers to beatbox. He does sing harmony in this one. Right after Austin takes the lead, the beatboxing drops out & Adam sings harmony with the rest, then jumps back into beatboxing. BTW, in their concerts, Adam usually does a "drum solo" & shows off his beatboxing. There are several videos available of him doing so. Most were shot by people attending the concerts so the audio & video aren't always great, but it still shows you what all he can do. If you want to hear some of their original music, check out "Land of the Free" which was released earlier this summer. It was cowritten by Tim Foust (the bass) several years ago. Enjoying your reactions.
I love watching you react! Just really love your beautiful smile! It makes me smile, I swear. I subbed the first time I watched your channel. I will do my best to spread the word!! I dont see how anyone could watch you even once and not subscribe! Great music AND a great personality...not to mention you're pretty easy on the eyes and that accent! Keep up the great work. You'll get those subscribers!!😁😍😄😉💗
UK Home Fry here & I agree with everything the OP has written. I too subbed watching your first reaction. I've watched so many & watching you react is a breath of fresh air. Keep up the amazing videos!
Subscribed about 30mins ago whilst watching your reaction to Home Free Ring of Fire, I'm glad you've found this rabbit hole of this a cappella group! Such a catalogue of songs both original and covers to react to, they are amazing, to say the least! Can I suggest and recommend their cover of The O'Jays Love Train?! Not many reactors have done that one by Home Free...
Just a few to show their versatility. Blue Ain't Your Color, Helplessly Hoping, Everybody Walkin This Land, Wake Me Up, Traveling Soldier, and Country Fried Pop! They are all awesome in their own right, but as a group, this is a very special group of men. Never afraid to poke fun at themselves, but also never afraid to meet social issues head on! Great reactions! ❤
Yes Adam the beatboxer does sing watch ( how great thou art) you can hear him singing, he has a beautiful voice but he will amaze you with his drum solo it’s a must watch. Quite Frankly their all amazing everyone of them
If you were to find a little one horse town in the middle of nowhere Alabama, Mississippi, etc., you'll find that place almost down to the last piece of tinsel.
It's actually Tim Foust who is the bass in the group and not Austin Brown who is the Tenor. When looking at the video from the perspective of the door, the guy with the grey hairstripe next to Austin is Tim.
If you want to go back to the "start" of the wider popularity of Home Free look for their performances from the Sing Off- a reality acapella competition. You'll hear them live but with the best possible sound recording. Those performances have founding member (and bro of founding member vocal percussionist Adam Rupp) in them. Chris went his separate way and then Adam Chance (called Chance) joined the band - he was the one who sang lead first in this song. There really is not a bad Home Free song, so enjoy!
Hold off on reacting to their version of MAYDAY until you’ve done quite a few of their works. Mayday has a great surprise in it and you’ll completely miss it if you do that one before you are very familiar with them.
Fun to see reactors discovering Home Free. As everyone says, barely ever a poor song in a large output. They kept turning out great videos throughout the lockdowns. One that might interest you is their take on "Castle on the hill". Among others I don't see recommended is "I can't outrun you" featuring Adam Chance, who also had the vision for the very well done video.
Been watching your reactions one after another. Yes, Adam, the beat boxer can sing. He has a beautiful tenor voice. The other guys can also beatbox. You have it bad and have dived down the rabbit hole. Keep up the reactions.
Adam Rupp sings a solo part in How Great Thou Art . Amazing to listen to their vocals and the beautiful scenery from Austria. Go do a reaction to that song. It will give you an good idea of each of their vocals - at least for that hymn.
Lots of us Home Fries àctually watch several Reactions to our guys before we subscribe (just like I did). Reactors have discovered that once they start doing our guys we check them out, and they do it just to get their subscriber numbers up. That ticks us off, because we don't want to be pandered to. You're genuine -- so we'll be subscribing :) Now, I am about to be late for work because I've been binging on your Reactions to our guys, lol
All acapella, you can find almost All their work on you tube. Love your reactions, and looking forward to the next. Could be "In the Blood" Love from Denmark🇩🇰
"Drum kit" (Adam) does sing and is a tenor. He just prefers to beat box but they have a few songs where he has short solos. I believe he is singing in this when he isn't "playing" the drums.
Hey Adam, This may be Home Free's NEW song they "updated" into their own unique way, However One Man Band was originally recorded by the Country group, Old Dominion.THEY would Also be cool to listen to and give your reactions. :) :)
I really like your reactions! You'll get a lot of Home Free suggestions, mine is Woman, amen /Female... All of them (except Adam) sing in that one too❤️
Thanks so much for this reaction. Home Free really knows how to bring a song to a better place. The guys are a ton of fun and do amazing work on all their music. Whatever is recommended will not disappoint. If you have time one of the older songs...Good Ol' Boy Good Time...or...In The Blood. Up to you. Thanks again.
