Austin, my dear, words cannot express how listening to you has enriched my life and given me joy. I have always preferred the low voices of baritones and basses, having sung soprano for many years in chorale groups. Only 4 tenors have ever touched my heart......Mario Lanza, Placido Domingo, Josh Groban........ and YOU. I will be a patron til I die, and will support you wherever your life and career takes you. May God bless you and your sweet bride, and bring you good health, happiness, and prosperity. I will love you forever. ❤
Austin I recently found Home Free, I listen to you guys every night on my tablet while watching TV. Some videos are so hilarious, I see the fun you guys have especially you, Tim, and Rob. And then I read where you left Home Free, it made me sad, but I wish you and Amberly the best in whatever the two of you decide to do. Can't wait until you put out a new song. When you sang You are my sunshine, that really brought tears to my eyes. My mom and dad used to sing it to when I was little, they are both gone now that is why it brought tears to my eye. God bless you and Amberly.
I'm a 64 year old woman who loves home free and I'm going to miss you hope you n Amberley will find happiness and blessed love you both so much I'll be keeping in touch with you all
You don'thave to tell us what projects you're going to do next Austin because you don't owe anyone that information. You do you as you deserve your freedom and rest. I don't know how you have gone on as long as you have performing non-stop for audiences and creating music. Enjoy your life with your beautiful wife. God bless you both 🙂❤️🥰😘🐦
Austin - have you ever considered a stint on Broadway? With your musical theater background, seamless tenor prowess, dancing skills, acting chops and all-around captivating presence you would be an absolutely amazing Fiyero in Wicked. Plus I think a slightly "country-fried" Fiyero would be unique and charming!
No one likes change but you have to do what's right for you.Never say you should have if you want to try musical theater do it. Never live with regrets good luck to you you will be missed
????Amberly tells us what you are interested in for your personal growth, and what interested your in doing. Since you and Austin have been together you to have energy and love...
Austin, I wish to learn to sing better. Have you considered doing coaching of other lead/tenors online? I did church choir as a youth, but live in an apartment and go out into the bushlots and sing cause my neighbors complain. But yeah, I'm teachable, could you see yourself as a coach?
I am so gratified to hear you speak of the joy of home and the need to be home. Fitting for the name "Home Free" isn't it? God's blessing on you and your future! Will always love your music, Austin!
A much wiser person than me once said that the only true constant is change… I am going to miss your voice in Home Free, but will be very interested to see what the future holds for you both. Will always be a Home Fry, and I am sure the next member will bring their own special talents to the group. Enjoy your journey, the future is wide open! Love to you both!
I am so sad to hear you are leaving home free but I get it you have to take care of your self and family. No one can replace you . Good luck on your new adventures.
Your video chats are wonderful. I truly feel so happy after your chats. Thank you for all you do and for bringing your love of music, animals and the love you two share to us all. You are both sure an inspiration. Bless you both.
Thank you for all the joy you bring with your music. I am a 73 year old grandmother and I fell in love with your cheeky smile when I discovered Home Free a few years ago! I love the Home Free sound and all of the guys. I love that you will be bringing some gospel sounds in the future and maybe musical theatre as well. Change is always a part of life. God has a plan for all of us if we just listen and let him lead. I’m so sorry that I missed you in Australia. I couldn’t find any information on dates and locations here. Maybe you will come back one day! I wish you all the best in your future endeavours and with your family when the time is right. God bless you both!❤
Hey, Austin. I just thought I would take a moment to thank you for all of the joy you've brought into my own life with your voice and your energy, both with Home Free and your own music. It's been one Hel of a decade, for sure. Hearing that you are leaving Home Free was a little bitter sweet. I figured it was coming at some point, but knowing it's now...well. Even still I'm excited to see what you do next. Be that music or something else entirely. In you animal conservation efforts, maybe someone could look into The Royal Manitcoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association. They do some pretty amazing things to help out Big Cat Rescue. Maybe some kind of joint effort could be made, or some other form of collaboration? Just a thought. OH! Another thought...A D.I.Y. channel for landscaping, household repairs, whatever you want to teach. I'm sure people would love it! Okay, okay...I'll stop handing out unsolicited advice now. I wish for the two of you the life you deserve.
Both of you are awesome and I really appreciate you sharing your lives with us, and being so open about everything. You sharing your gift (the gift of music) with us is truly a blessing. I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't miss you in Home Free, but I'm excited to see what the future holds. I would love to pick Austin's brain on spirituality, breath work, and meditation and how to get good at it. I'm becoming a superfan now, sadly the higher levels are sold out. I'm sad to see you leaving home free, but I'm psyched to see what comes next. Both of you are the best and thanks for sharing so much with us. The most important thing is your happiness and I'm glad to see you so happy. I could feel it.
Oh my gosh. You both make me laugh with joy. It is wonderful watching your video chats. Thank you for always being real and keeping it relaxed in every way. It is like just sitting down and video chatting with my kids in other states.
I saw you when HF came to London and it was an amazing experience, I wish you both every happiness for whatever your future brings . I'll forever be a fan of HF , but that includes being a fan of all of the members individually. Looking forward to seeing what comes next for everyone . Much love from the UK ❤ x
I love musical theater! My son was in Wizard of Oz with me when he had finished kindergarten and Music Man when he finished high school. He’s not a 6-12 band teacher and loves it!
You too make such a wonderful couple! You bring out the best in each other. Austin you'll be missed as a part of Home Free, but I can't wait to see what new opportunities await you. Amberly I freakin' love how much you love animals!! I wish you all the best in pursuing your dreams and plans for a wildlife rescue and hospital! ❤❤
I'm excited to see where this next stage of y'alls life will go. I will miss seeing and hearing your amazing voice with Home Free but this sounds so needed. You need to do what gives you peace and happiness and your fans still follow you and Home Free.🤩
One of our friends in Merida Mexico (where we've been wintering for the past 5 years) operates a baby possum rescue with her kids; they've saved and released a bunch of them over the years, but they kept one who had lost his tail so couldn't be released, who they call "Dum-dum." I'd upload a photo but comments doesn't allow it. Will miss you in Home Free, but I get you completely -- and look forward to their next incarnation!
I saw you in tour Austin in Greensboro a few years ago when you resumed the Dive Bar Saints Tour and I truly enjoyed it! Home Free music is awesome and I look forward to seeing your journey leaving Home Free Austin. Amberly I truly love your big heart for animals. I have the same heart and look forward to seeing more videos of your journey to open and maintain a sanctuary. Congratulations on your marriage, I got married in January 2024!
I couldn't pry the remote away from my husband last night to watch live, but I'm watching now. Thanks for this - I don't want to spy on your lives, but it's wonderful to see further into your hearts!
I'm with you Amberly, Opussoms are great. They are very important to our envvironment as well. People are often afraid of them bc of their teeth. They be somewhat intimidating to people who don't understand them. However, if you were to run across a wild animal this is the one i would want to come across. the opossum is the least likely to ever have rabies, they very rarely if ever have them, they aren't destructive like raccoons, and if you really watch them they are kind of funny. We had a brother & that we caught in our live trap we had set out bc we had a really bad raccoon problem. I didn't have a problem letting any of them eating the fallen bird seed or seed that i had thrown around on the ground including the raccoons. But then they got destructive and started getting up on my porch things like that. so we started rehoming them. But one time we caught some opossums a brother & sister. we took them out to a wonderful place. had fields on 3 sides with a stream and a grove of trees. three days later i'm looking out the window at about 3 am and wouldn't you know it there they were. at first both took up residency in our garage, but then the male took off now only the female lives in there. tried to catch her a couple of times to at least take her out to the grove behind our house. But with no luck. i finally told my husband to just forget about it. she wasn't harming anything. the garage is detached from the house, it no longer has any mice getting into the birdseed and trying to chew up stuff we store in their and she stays up in the rafters. so just leave her alone. every once in awhile we see her coming out of the rafters for her nightly outings if we are getting home late, and i will say, " look There's Lucy!" her brother was Ricky.
Isn't it amazing how life turns out? I remember a few years back (long time Home Free fan here) watching videos of Home Free and sensing that lost feeling in you, Austin. I have always thought of you as such a bright, genuine person. And, for the past few years, I have been hoping that you would be able to find the peace, comfort, sense of home and family, and loving partner that you have now. It does my heart good to see you step into all of those things. May God continue to bless both of you with the joy that comes through family and through being loyal to yourself. All of the best to both of you. I'm excited to watch you press forward with the wonderful things that are in store.
I loved 'My Maria' in the back yard with You, Tim Faust, Chris Chatham, Sebastien Douyon, and Chris Marion. All of the vocals were excellent, and I loved the instruments as well. Will you be making more music with those guys again? I keep going back to that performance because it is so good.
😍😍😍😍 Love everything you do... and I will stay on your side ... Thanks for being a part of the Superfans ... it's a wonderful community ... all the Best... Dany, from Munich, Germany 😍😘😍😘😍
God bless you both for your love and for the love of each other and LOVE for your animals and to know you respect and care for wild life. Austin you have lovey voice I have enjoyed listening to the Home Free group. My God bless you and your lovely wife and my God bless ya 'll with prosperity and health.

I pray you get your sanctuary. Being able to inner act with the wild animals is such a blessing feels so special. I think I will become a Super Fan. You are like family to me and a lot of fun. Always a Home Fry soon a Super Fan.🥰🥰🥰
the history of the pitbull is very interesting. Their nickname is "the nanny" dog bc their original purpose was to be a child's playmate and guardian. it wasn't until the turn of the 18th century that they started using them as "fighting dogs" and they got a reputation as a vicious dog. the fact is despite their appearance the breed is gentle, docile, and is always looking for fun. there us a reason they say a dog is man's best friend. they only want to please us, and will do whatever we want it to do, to please us. to be kind and gentle or vicious. When you treat and teach your dog with kindness and love it reciprocates the same to not only you, but others. Please be kind and loving to your animals.
I didn't realize you had gone to college in Oklahoma Austin. I am from a place near McAlester, Ok. Grew up in a two-story log cabin there and love bow hunting and fishing. So happy for you guys.
On the topic of wildlife rescue/rehab - if you aren't familiar with "Saveafox", they are a local (MN) fox, and many other animals, rescue and rehab that are very active on RU-vid and other social media platforms. All the best from a diehard HomeFry with a Brownie for dessert 😉
