Vocal Coach Reacts! Home Free! Do You Here What I Hear?! 

The first singer, Tim Foust, is actually the bass of the group. He has a five octave range. In live performances, he often blows out speakers with his sub harmonics.

Yes, the bass is Tim Foust. And yes, they all have great voices. This was arranged by the beatboxer

For me, this is the best arrangement of any Christmas song, ever. It was created by Adam Rupp, the vocal percussionist. I just saw them do this in concert and it was just as mindblowing. What a great intro to them for you. To hear a master class in harmony, try their version of How Great Thou Art and/or Helplessly Hoping. No percussion, just 5 pure voices. But, actually, you could start anywhere in their catalog and not be disappointed. Happy holidays!

Can't believe that you've just found Home Free, The first reaction I saw of yours was Disturbeds Sound of Silence. PLease do more Home Free you'll not be disappointed, Bass man Tim and high tenor Austin Brown have loads of videos on their own channels, plenty to choose from, also Austin and Rob (beard and glasses) have a go at singing opera, worth a watch, I promise x 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I never cared for this song and would tune out when it was on but I LOVE THIS VERSION!!! I listen to it once a week or more even in the summer. Adam's arrangement is absolutely phenomenal!!! The guys said this is the most complicated arrangement they've ever done. Now on a note that tells how personally wonderful they are as people. I was supposed to see them in concert last night but the artic storm hit and I couldn't go. They asked for my info and when I emailed it to them I got an email telling me they had added me to their guest list for the next time they're here. They are trying to help the fans who were unable to attend because of the weather. Most groups would just take the ticket money and say oh well. There is no group musically or personally better than HF. Loved your reaction.

My favorite acapella group because, as you said, each unique voice is distinguishable, if you listen for it, yet they all blend to create something amazing. They sing many different genre and have no designated lead singer, but all take turns when their voice best suits the song. Since you expressed a special love of low voices, I would strongly recommend their cover of Dire Straits', "Brothers in Arms."

I would love to hear you react to Two Country Singers Try Singing Opera Nessun Dorma... The bearded wonder, Rob Lundquist, will astound you. Rob has the ability to change both his timbre and placement to provide the perfect blend. Often he uses that pingy forward bright timbre with Home Free, but he can also go full gospel or opera. (He was trained in opera.) I LOVE these guys. For Christmas, Angels We Have Heard on High... For other, "Helplessly Hoping", "In the Blood", "Man of Constant Sorrow", "End of the Road", oh... who am I kidding... they are all great!

I am so happy you like them! Yayyyy! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Ok a little more info about them. The beatboxer (Adam Rupp, can produce any sound you can imagine) created the band with his brother Chris Rupp ( the baritone guy with the hat). The rest of them joined in stages. Austin Brown (long wavy hair) is the high tenor Rob Lundquist (glasses and beard) is also a tenor though everyone assumes he is the bass at first 😝 And of course Tim Foust ( mainly bass/subterranean and every other vocal position as well) is the guy with the straight long-ish hair. He has similar range to Geoff Castelucci but different tone. Chris has left the band a few years now and was replaced with baritone Adam Chance (they call him just Chance because 2 Adamses 😝). If you want to hear a little bit of Chance and some more Tim I would recommend their Cover of Brothers in Arms. They also have a lot of different Christmas ones (for next year maybe😛) like "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" 😝 and as Tim says their tinder Christmas original "Full of cheer" 🤣 They are normally hilarious.

For *New Years* They do an awesome rendition of "Auld Lang Syne" Don't pass it up, the harmonies are to die for.

So glad these guys found each other ... good human beings with glorious voices ... simply the best !

If you really want and example of voices not being what you expect, check out "Two Country singers TRY singing opera", features Austin and Rob from this group. Will blow your mind..

Welcome to Home Free. When I first heard them I went back and started from the Sing Off. It's really fun to follow their journey

Love to see you react to Home Free's "Mary Did You Know" Or any Home Free for that matter.

Thank you for reacting to Home Free! If you want to hear an amazing arrangement and harmonies in a Christmas song try their version of Angels We Have Heard On High. 😀❤️

Home Free is so good. The beatboxer Adam Rupp, arranged this. Home Free doesn’t let him do that too much as his arrangements are so complicated. Tim Foust, is the bass, and was the first singer. He has a 5 octave range so he can sing super low and then sing up with the tenors. They are known for great harmonies. They have been writing a lot of original songs lately. They have some great Christmas music, Mary Did You Know, Angels We Have Heard on High, O Holy Night, Silent Night. Have a wonderful Christmas!

Home Free are the best! Tim's bass is par excellence. The beat boxer arranged this masterpiece! Love your reaction!

Such a beautiful version of this song. Absolutely love Home Free.❤️❤️

Home Free is a rare experience. These guys are so incredibly talented. They have a HUGE following of loyal Home Fry's and well over 150 videos/songs. They cover all genres, but shine especially bright in Gospel and Christmas tunes. You won't find a bad Home Free song, they are all 100% bangers! They do a lot of covers, but there are also several originals to choose from. Please do more from these guys! They are the most personable, humorous, group you'll come across.

This song is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to their talent. You MUST listen to more of them. Those of us followers who love these guys are called home Fries. Brilliant review. You caught so much of what they were doing and their talents that you won me over already and I've subscribed to your channel. Merry Christmas from Canada, Sam

This song has so much flavour to it…one can never get bored listening to it…thank you for this reaction 😊✌🏻

So Glad you enjoyed Home Free! Adam Rupp the exceptional beatboxer arranged this one.

Subbed for more HF. I’m going to say what everyone else probably has already said because I’m late to the partay. I haven’t checked the comments yet. Home Free is a phenomenal group. Please, please go down the Home Free rabbit hole. Go listen to Tim Foust’s solo stuff. He floored me with his bass notes, but he’s so much more than that. He can sing tenor effortlessly, which floored me even more. He can do runs in all of his registers. Falsetto? No problem. Rob is trained in opera, and I personally think he has perfect pitch. He seems to keep everyone “in line.” Austin is trained in musical theater and is just a beautiful man and a beautiful person. Adam is a world champion beatboxer. Human drum kit. So much more to talk about. You really can’t go wrong. You just have to find your own path with them. I’m so glad you reacted to these guys.

Home Free is the best--period. Their creativity and ability to cover nearly every genre imaginable plus incomparable harmonies put them at the pinnacle for me. Such an exceptional arrangement by Home Free's own wizardly vocal percussionist, Adam Rupp ⛄🪄🎄 And such a nice treat to hear Chris Rupp's smooth baritone getting some focus❣️🎼🥰🎶♥️

Try Home Free's "Helplessly Hoping" or "Brothers In Arms" for perfect harmony ... you simply can't go wrong with anything they sing !

There are live videos of them singing this at their concerts (some as recent as this week). Give one of those a spin, then add Home Free (and their individual channels) to your channel's list. For a non-Christmas, give their version of either Helplessly Hoping or Brothers in Arms a try.

Thank you so much for reacting to the Home Free guys. You already have info on who the guys are. They can be so funny and serious, just whatever is needed at the time. Not sure if you want to go own with the Christmas songs, but Cold Hard Cash...Austin wrote...or...Full of Cheer...Tim wrote...so much fun. Up to you. Then there is...Good Ol' Boy Good Time...or...Hillbilly Bone....Just a thought on a few to check out. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks again. You are great. Thanks

This is *such* a satisfying composition. Super atmospheric intro, the 4 octaves in 4 seconds round is such a fun flex, Tim's bass work is great (as always), Austin busts out an amazingly accurate quacky Strat-NO-caster funk guitar line (crazy!), & that Stevie Wonder -esque key twist 3/4 in is #ChefsKiss!! So much to keep the ear entertained. Adam (the beatboxer) deserves some kind of award for creating an arrangement this special from a much less interesting original. :)

Thanks for reacting to Home Free. I love them!

My favorite version of this song. I must admit that I was busy admiring your plants. Thanks for great the Home Free reaction.

For another HF serious Christmas arrangement, definitely check out "Cold Hard Cash for Christmas". ;-) ;-) Thanks for the fn and informative reaction. Merry Christmas to you and all The Home Fries!

You absolutely made my day reacting to Home Free! Thank you so much!!! They are so amazing and there are so many songs I think you would enjoy but in keeping with Christmas, it would be great to hear you react to O Holy Night. 😍🥰❤

Home Free does lean country but they sing everything AND WELL !!! After Christmas they have a version of Auld Lang Syne that you may enjoy before New Years :) But as far as their best covers "I can't outrun you", People, Helplessly Hoping & How Great Thou Art, Castle on the Hill, The Driver, and Sea Shanty Medley ....originals - Understand, Dive Bar Saints, Love me like that, Save the World....that should get ya started

For me one of the best arranged songs, or perhaps the best, of Home Free . So impressive! The so great harmonies,the deep bass, the best inhuman beatboxer/vocal percussionist/vocal artist, the sound effects, colors, etc. in such a beautiful but cold environment. When I saw and heard this for the first time, I did repeat it a few times. Just amazing. Adam Rupp- The beatboxer Tim Foust- Deep Bass, also tenor and everything in between Austin Brown-High tenor, powerful with his great runs and high notes Rob Lundquist(beard and glasses)-Tenor, with a voice so warm, rich and soulful. Great wistler Here it is with Chris Rupp(with hat)-bariton, sometimes bass when Tim had the lead. He started the group 22 years ago with his brother Adam Rupp (the beatboxer). Chris left the group in 2016 for a solo album and other projects such as 7th ave and Cypress Fyre.

"If there are more..." Home Free has over 150 videos for you to fall into. Their harmonies are fantastic, they are all immensely talented. If you want Christmas videos, I'd suggest Angels we Have Heard and O Holy Night, as well as What Child is This which is on Chris Rupp's channel not HF's. They have hilarious videos, solemn ones and everything in between, but no matter the video, their music is top notch.

According to Chris Rupp, I think, there aren’t a lot of vocal tracks in this one, most of what you hear is just the 5 voices without all the over dubs and that

Thank you for the Home Free reaction! Looking forward to many more. Cheers!

Home Free is a country Acapella group. The one that first sang is the bass and has a 5 octave range. These guys can sing any genre.

They do the Dire Staits cover of Brother in Arms. If you like Bass. Tim starts that one and it is POWERFUL

They just dropped a new Christmas song. Have Yourself A Merry Christmas.

The guys front row Adam Rupp the beatboxer and he did the arrangement. From left to right 2nd row Chris Rupp the founder of the group and the baritone. Then Rob Lundquist (beard and glasses) lead tenor. Back row left to right Tim Foust (long dark hair) bass with a 5 octave range. And the last one is Austin Brown(long curly haired) sky high tenor. I don't know if you know but they were the winners of the show The Sing Off Season 4. So they were on the same season as VoicePlay. And Tim Foust was the deepest bass that season. You need to go down the Home Free rabbit hole. They have so many great songs.

An amazing arrangement (by their beatboxer Adam Rupp) and it was perfect, or as perfect as one can get. I'm Country - so these guys fit my "ear" just right ....... Never have I been let down after 7yrs with 'em!!!! Be Safe

Welcome to the Home Fries. This is a rabbit hole that will never let you see the light of day again. They have so much stuff, and most of it is awesome or better. For great harmonies, watch "Mary Did You Know", "Angels We Have Heard On High", "O Holy Night," "Helplessly Hoping", "Go Rest High On That Mountain", "Brothers in Arms" or "How Great Thou Art". For a good laugh, watch "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer", "Full Of Cheer", "Working For A Living", "Champaign Taste", "Between a Rock or a Heartache", "Brother" or "All About The Bass". For heartwarming stuff, watch "Warmest Winter", "The Driver", "When Will I Be Loved" or "Christmas Ain't For The Lonly". For heavy topics, watch "Don't Laugh At Me", "One Voice", "Everybody Walking This Land", "Meet in the Middle" or "Undivided". Or, literally, watch anything of them. They always deliver.

First welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. Heres a little history: The group started in 2000 by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp They are the first and only known country a cappela group but they can honestly sing any genre. They won The Sing Off season 4 2013 that's where they became very popular. Fans of Home Free are known as Home Fries .Ok now let's introduce you to the guys: Chris Rupp:Baritone (cowboy hat or other hats) One of the co founders of the group from Minnesota .

Austin Brown - High Tenor ( Long Reddish hair ) voice of an angel from Georgia .Rob Lundquist - Lead tenor (beard and glasses) very soulful voice from Minnesota. Tim Foust: Bass (long dark hair now short with grey streak) 5+ octave range from Texas. Adam Chance : Baritone/ Bass ( Chance a because two Adams is confusing ) silky smooth voice replaced Chris Rupp in 2016 has short dark hair and usually wears a backwards baseball hat is from Alabama. There's not a song that you pick from them that is bad ( I haven't found one yet) they do covers and have a lot of original songs to. The group has 5 Tenors,2 Bass, 2 Baritone, 5 beatboxers and 1 freak of nature ( Adam Rupp) and 4 take lead depending on the song Adam doesn’t like to sing he prefers beatboxing he thinks he doesn’t have a beautiful voice and not trained like the others (But we all know he does) to hear his voice listen to How Thou Art . Just down to earth,humble nice guys As for Christmas music : Full of Cheer, Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer, Warmest Winter, Winter Song, Beautiful Star Of Bethlehem with Jeffrey East and The Oak Ridge Boys, Cold Hard Cash, Away In The Manger, Mary Did You Know, Children Go Where I Send Thee with Kenny Rodgers, Christmas In Dixie with Alabama, Non Christmas songs, End of the Road Boyz 2 Men cover, Road Sweet Road, Cover Me ,Up Helplessly Hoping , Brother , Butts Melody/Remix, Brother in Arms and anything on their playlist Hope this helps Happy Holidays 🎄 I’ve always wanted to go to Scotland my grandparents were both born and raised there came to Canada in their 20’s

Welcome to the rabbit hole....loved your reaction! Merry holidays!

I'm so glad you enjoyed Home Free! I love everything they've done, and their songs range from completely silly (Butts Remix and Workin' for a Livin') to very serious (Brothers at Arms). I also recommend The Gambler (a country song) and Helplessly Hoping (amazing harmonies).

Oh Holy Night is an older song of theirs but a gorgeous arrangement.

Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Home Free!

Really enjoyed your analysis. Subscribed for more Home Free reactions.

Once your into home free, your hooked

Thanks for checking out Home Free! Sub'ed. Btw, fans of Home Free are called home fries ----> 🍟😆

Thank you Sam! 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🥰🥰🥰🥰

Merry christmas Sam, thanks for your reactions.

Welcome to Home Free!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Home Free! The group is most famously known as a country accapella group, however as you dive into the rabbit hole of Home Free you will come to realize as we did, there is pretty much nothing these guys can't sing. Listen to "Man of Constant Sorrow" for probably their most country sound and then Boys II men "End of the Road" to start to give you an idea of the range of their capabilities. Please do yourself a favor and don't listen to "Mayday" until you have gotten used to ranges and who does what. There is method to our madness, so please wait! Great reaction!

Check out their "O' Holy Night". Home Free is just amazing.

I really enjoyed your analysis and subscribed. The first to sing was Tim Faust and he is a true Basso Profundo. There version of "Mary Did You Know" is wonderful also. Thank you for reacting to them.

Here for the fabulous Home Free reactions. They have such stunning voices, each of them. Would love to see some more. x

So loved your reaction and your analysis to Home Free version of this fabulous song. It was arranged by the beatboxer Adam Rupp, he was co-founder of the vocal group in 2000. I am a new viewer and subscriber to your channel. Crazy about your accent and happy to get to hear some more reactions to Home Free from you. They have a crazy amount of videos to pick from, not a bad song amoung them. They have a huge catalouge of music of most every genre.

Welcome to the Rabbit Hole that is HomeFree. Some great songs are One Man Band, Road Sweet Road, Understand, Oh Holy Night...Some fun ones are Full of Cheer, Grandma got run over by a reindeer, Cold Hard Cash(for Christmas).

Great reaction - subscribed and hope you do more Home Free!

I enjoyed your reaction. Please react to more Home Free songs.

You most definitely need to listen to more Home free! Loved your reaction!

MORE!! WE NEED MORE REACTIONS OF HOME FREE!!! Helplessly Hoping is a wonderful one of theirs!! It's purely singing with the most delicious harmonies, no beatboxing or background chords

Great reaction 🥰 Subscribed 🥰 Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

Welcome to the world that is Home Free 😂😂. New sub for more please.

If You want to hear one of their best harmonies, react to "Helplessly Hoping." It will not disappoint. *Subscribed for more Home Free* and thanks for the reaction and analysts.

Echoing what has been stated elsewhere, I think "Helplessly Hoping" is a singing masterclass! 🙂❤

You are in so much trouble now lol! Try these covers, Brothers in Arms, Dire Straits; Listen to the Music, Doobie Bros; or Percy Sledge's, When a Man Loves a Woman! There are so many more after that one!

Welcome to the newest Home Fry (Home Free fan). Tim Foust (bass) is a true basso profundo but with a 5+ octave range.

THAT WAS AN AWESOME REACTION. THANKS FOR THE SERENADE & KISS☺

There is none better. They are just dead on the note in Harmonies so sweet !!! Home Free* GBjj

Just subscribed for more Home Free, love your reaction to this song. Now, you need to react to Auld Lang Syne for the New Year! For some more beautiful harmonies react to Bless The Broken Road and One Man Band. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

The man with the long wavy hair is Austin Brown (originally from Georgia); the man with the long dark hair is Tim Foust (originally from Texas); the man with the beard & glasses (Rob Lundquist), the beatboxer (Adam Rupp) and his brother Chris Rupp (black cap) are all from Minnesota. Both Tim & Austin are song writers and have original songs with Home Free and on their own channels (they both also play piano). Rob's voice will definitely shock you in a duet he has with Austin (on Austin's channel) of the opera aria Nessun Dorma. Thanks for playing this & your reactions & analysis. By the way, I love your Christmas tree earring!

I’m watching this on Christmas day 2022. This was great! Thank you!

The man with the beard is Rob Lundquist. If you want to hear him in a deeper range, Check out him and Austin Brown in "Nessun Dorma".

Adam Rupp's (the beat boxer)arrangement of this is absolutely ethereal, creative and complex. Brilliant! I wish Adam would arrange more Home Free. He certainly has a talent for it. They always have such wonderful arrangements. Their producer, Darren Rust does most of their arrangements and he is a genius. I can't even imaging what it would sound like if Adam and Darren collaborated on a song. This song is so beautiful I don't relegate it to just Christmas time. I love how Adam's beat boxing/vocal percussion embodies the very feeling of an icy, cold, wintery atmosphere. Because there are no egos in Home Free, they do what it takes to serve the music and don't try to make the music serve them. Great reaction. Thanks.

Good reaction! Subbing for more Home Free. Welcome to the deep rabbit hole 🕳!

O' Holy Night is another Home Free song you should react to. And if I can make a suggestion, when you are talking about parts of a song, it would be helpful if you would play again the part you are describing. I think it would help the listener follow along. Happy Holidays 🎄🎁

Adam, is a multiple time world champion beat boxer.

Please check out more from thi group! They are all amazing singers and have a great sense of humor. They just seem like a group of guys you want to go to the pub with!

Merry Christmas! Thank you for this...I love this group of men.

Never liked this song till HF did it now I listen to it every day! Adam killed this arrangement! More HF for us Home Fries and we will come in hard in a good way to your channel. Hold off on Mayday till you have listened to 5-10 songs so you know whom does what! Sounds weird but when you listen to it you will understand! 😊

Love Home Free,.. especially Oh Holy Night.

You say you’re a sucker for bass voices. You should listen to “Brothers in Arms”.

Since you have a lot of information on the group from comments below I will give you Christmas songs and other song suggestions. O'Holy Night, Angel's We Have Heard on High, Silent Night, Mary Did You Know, What Child is This, I'll Be Home for Christmas, Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer Beautiful Star of Bethlehem (w/ the Oak Ridge Boys, and Jeffrey East). How Great Thou Art, Original songs, Cold Hard Cash, Full of Cheer, Warmest Winter , Winter Song . Well that should be good for now lol . Auld Lang Syne for New Years. Loved your reaction. Merry Christmas to you and yours

I have to utmost respect for a Capella groups, & Home Free, IMO is on the top, along with Pentatonix!!!

Oh yes please. I would love for you to discover more of Home Free greatness. Subbed for that. ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH, HOW GREAT THOU ART, O HOLY NIGHT to start off with.

Thanks for the reaction to Home Free and your singing is just wonderful!! New sub to hear more of them and you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!

Subscribed for more Home Free (and your accent 😂)

Also Joy to the World, Mary did you know, Amazing grace, How Great Thou Art.

The fellow with the heavy beard is Rob Lundquist and has a classic operatic tenor when he wishes to use it .

Home Free is the best vocal band ever!!❤

They have several original Christmas songs. Cold Hard Cash; Snow Globe are two. I also love their version of Mary Did You Know.

A good reaction. Home Free does an excellent Auld Lang Syne for New Years. After the holidays try their Man Of Constant Sorrow or Listen To The Music to see the talents of this group on full display. They just released an album of original music in Nov. Try Understand or Whats left of My Heart weitten by the bass Tim Foust, and others..

You were talking about Rob singing with a high larynx... you'd be surprised that he trained in opera 15 years ago and recently sung Nessum Dorma with Austin (country guy, high tenor). Austin sings it in a classical style while Rob sings in an operatic style. So he sounds so much different than he usually does. I'd love to see a reaction to that if you haven't done one already. Thank you for the video. This is one of my favorite songs of theirs.

I've subscribed in hopes to enjoy your HF journey.

Tim is also the bass! Sub woofer mode!

Oh, there’s so much more. Check out Mary Did You Know. You will not be disappointed

"Mary Do You Know" and for New Year's the old classic "Auld Lang Syne" from these guys. I'd love to see your reaction.

Notice the 'light' is always behind them.
