The fans know all #homefree songs by heart. They perform all year long, so they've got it down to a T. For more of Rob in his powerful lower range, see "Two Country Singers Try to Sing Opera," with Rob and Austin Brown, on Austin's channel.
I was in that audience. That whole show was fabulous. You can see how electric the atmosphere was. This was their encore and we got to hear it twice to ensure that they got enough good camera footage. They are amazing in person.
....and they will show you what he is doing at each concert as well.(Usually before they sing Man Of Constant Sorrow) If they ever use and instrument, they are up front and let you know. They are amazing in concert. If they ever come near you...GO SEE THEM! It is worth it! @@setonhillstudios
My Dad was in the Navy and he said they used to sing shanties when doing work that was repetitive. I learned many shanties from him. Great reaction. Home Free are better live, and the energy is out of this world! Thank you!
Home Free is so talented and have been singing together a long time. They are known for their tight harmonies. Home Free originally did this shanty during the pandemic and it became so popular that kids danced to it on TikTok. It also attracted Ubisoft the game maker to them. They asked HF to write a new shanty for their new game Skull and Bones and they did. Chance in the red knit cap wrote Skull and Bones and there’s a video for it. Tim (the bass in the black leather jacket with yellow shirt) sings super low on it. If you watch a short live video for the Ubisoft crowd you’ll hear Tim go really low or listen to the Skull and Bones video. Also Brothers in Arms, Down to the HonkyTonk, I Can’t Outrun You for lots of bass.
Thanks so much for the info! We’ve had a few others request ‘Skull and Bones’ so we definitely need to check that out! Such a talented group and this performance was amazing! Thanks for stopping by and sharing!
The studio version of this medley has 39 million views on UA-cam. There's an extended version on Home Free's Sounds of Lockdown album which is available on most if not all streaming services. It's the most listened to track on the album, at least on Amazon Music. It's wildly popular. Folks at Home Free concerts know all the words because of Home Free. I'm enjoying your reactions by the way. I'll sub. 🙂
You need to check out Skull and Bones. The software company contacted Home Free after hearing their Sea Shanty, to write a song for their pirate song. Adam Chance (the first singer, baritone) wrote the song and HF recorded it. There are 3 versions, the latest one is a short movie and the best IMO.
I mostly learned the shanties from listening to Home Free. You got a little taste of “Opera Rob” when he went into his deeper chest range. Rob is actually a tenor and trained in opera. Check out Rob and Austin’s rendition of Nessum Dorma.
Great reaction~!! I saw them live last night. And yes they are like this. Most of the crowd knows their songs and sings along. Everyone had a blast! I'm ready to see them live again.
Tim Foust, killer of Sub Woofers! It's happened! Also, you should check out Adam Rupp (the beatboxer) do his "drum solo" live at their concerts! It's mindblowing!
Nope the fans don't just automatically know sea shanties right off the bat. But it's Home Free and they just have this way about them to foster interest instinctively. And here is the thing, A few years back, during COVID, their TikTok sea shanty video went viral, so it became more mainstream. Now it's a fan favorite. To answer more questions, Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, is doing what they call live looping, does the different beats and layers them in the live shows now. It's always all his voice and it's always live, but he just builds it. Hard to explain, but point is, he is so talented. Thank you for reacting to them live.
Great reaction! New 🇨🇦 Sub, here for more #HomeFree! Their catalogue is deep and varied and each new song of theirs quickly becomes a new favourite. They are super-talented, goofy guys that can make you laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time. Classics, ballads, country, pop, patriotic, blues, etc. Home Free has got you covered and they never disappoint! Having seen them twice it’s hard to describe how good they are in-person but it’s well worth it. Would recommend you get to a concert this year! So many great songs to choose from but a few suggestions of my favourite upgrades: One Man Band Castle on the Hill I Can’t Outrun You Stand By Me Take Me Home Country Roads Colder Weather Originals: Dreamer, Live at the Ryman feat. Texas Hill Catch Me If You Can * Dive Bar Saints * Leave This Town * *Theres a thread from one video to the next. Understand Road Sweet Road Might As Well Be Me (pause for their “bios” and written answers it adds to the hilarity!) Love Me Like That - nicest break-up song ever Land of the Free Snow Globe
Thanks so much for swinging by and checking out video! I can only imagine how awesome an in person experience is with them! Thanks for all the suggestions!
Homefries know the lyrics bc this medley came out during the pandemic and true fans know lyrics from their idols. But these are old songs, I knew the first 3 songs before I've ever heard of HF...
It is because we rewatch Home Free all the time. I must have watched and listened to their video "Brother" and " Listen to the music" I exercise to that one. At least 50 times. Plus many others
They know the words because they follow the guys and probably watched their Sea Shanty Medley video many times, but the first song The Wellerman is a well-known Sea Shanty because it went viral on TikTok a couple of years ago and then Home Free made a video of sea shanties and now have 39 million views on it. The Home Free version of the first song went viral as people on TikTok were dancing a certain dance to the beginning of their version of it from all over the world, which led to Ubisoft asking Home Free to write a song for their upcoming pirate game Skull and Bones they were going to release, which they did and it has been released now.
Yeah that makes sense! So cool to see all those people singing along! We had a couple requests for ‘Skull and Bones’ too! Definitely have to check that one out! Thanks!
They are fabulous live, their concerts are just so much fun !! They sound Amazing, love the energy, the talent is unbelievable, I have been able to see them 8 times, and am excited to see them again in a month or so. My favorite group ever !!
Tim Foust the bass has an 5 octave range, he can sing in the basement then up with the tenors. Adam Rupp the beatboxer uses a looper in the shows, he’s the best but he still can’t do all the sounds at once. Love these guys
I've seen them live 6 times and it's breath taking. They are so talented!. Can't wait to see ya react to more! Think you would enjoy their cover of "Let the Music Play" from The Doobie Brothers 🤙
the actual studio recording/video has been around for awhile.....this recording was done after the song was well established, which is why everyone knows the words, as well as the "Wellerman" which was the first song went viral on TicTok, both the original version and theirs. The game makers UBISOFT heard this, and commissioned HF to write an original Sea Shanty for their upcoming game of the same name..."Skull and Bones". There are 3 videos of that now, including the original recording with a lyric video (game footage), then a live version at an Ubisoft event, and then an official video from them just released. As you have read below, that electronics is a looper so he can layer his beatboxing...but the sounds are still his voice including the nomonica and the castanets at the end of this medley.
Being at a Home Free concert is one of the VERY best things that can ever happen to anyone. Now you can see why we Home Fries keep telling reactors that Home Free does NOT need "autotune." Probably at least 90% of the people who have gone to that concert would be considered Home Fries. That means that they have probably sung along with this medley 50-100 times (at least). The note that you were hearing that Tim was holding underneath everything (hearing from your recording, at least) was D#1. Tim's lowest note on the range chart that I created years ago on my own site (updated to 2020) is A0. D#1 is a snap for him. Adam Rupp (the beatboxer) can sing (or make beatboxing sounds) down to B0. They are the only two in the group who can go that low (and Adam Rupp can also go upwards a few notes higher than Austin). I can sing the D#1 that Tim was singing, and though I lost a HUGE amount of my range due to rheumatoid arthritis for many years, both of my hip joints were replaced in 2017, so that I can now sit and stand upright again, I have MOST of my just-over 6-octave range back again, and can hit (but not sustain) Austin's top note of D6. Adam Rupp generally uses the looping system to keep things going in the background, when any or all of them are adding other things to the mix. That way, they are still ONLY using their voices, and not adding instrumentation. They just create that with their voices, and the system keeps it all going, so that the layers become REALLY awesome. Often, when you hear little screams from some of the different seats, it means that whatever note either Tim or Adam Rupp were hitting (and for a bit there, both of them were going down to at least that D#1), was literally shaking the seats the people were sitting on. It's really amazing. My youngest daughter and I took her next-to-oldest boy to a concert a few years back, and when one of those bass waves came along and literally shook the bleachers on which we were sitting, Harry's eyes flew open WIDE, and he almost screamed, turning to his mom and saying out loud, "How does he DO that???!!!" I'm sure he wasn't the only one there that experienced that for the first time. 😀 Right there at the end, I think Tim did hit his lowest note, because I could barely reach it. I don't have a keyboard here, near my computer, in order to compare. I have to go to my favorite digital one on a separate screen, and didn't check that last note out. Out in our regular computer room, that same grandson (who has turned 16 and now sings bass, himself...though I can still outdo him...grin) has his keyboard right by his dad's computer, so he just gets up and finds the right note. We are 12 people in this family, and we all sing, and most of us play more than one instrument. It makes for really fun times when it comes to singing Happy Birthday to the next person in line. Thank you for the really fun reaction. 😀
Sadly, I have seen analysis of one of their studio releases that suggests that it is autotuned. I don't want to believe it, but it is hard to deny when compared with a live version of the same song. I think they sound better on the live version! Oh well, I love them anyhow and have my tickets to a concert next month!
Thanks so much Linda and you are right, auto tune is NOT necessary with this crew! I would love to see them live one day! Bet it’s quite the experience! That’s so cool your grandson sings bass! Love when younger kids get into music! Have a great day and talk to you soon! 😁
Sea Shanty Home Free did a great job on this song. I am glad that Chance started this song and Chance is a baritone. Rob did a great job to. Austin did a great job to. Adam did a great job on beatboxing. I can hear Tim's low bass voice. I heard that Tim has five octaves. Home Free is my favorite group. The harmonies are great. 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
I really enjoyed your reaction. I got to see them in concert. I got my roommate to go with me. She's 82. I have 3 residents (I'm a nurse in a dementia/Alzheimer's facility) who are now diehard Home Free fans.
Absolutely NO DRUM PADS or electronic sounds!! It's ALL Adam Rupp...PERIOD. The only piece of equipment he uses, other than a microphone, is a dual looper station. As good as Adam is, even *he* can't make 4 or 5 sounds at once! Lol He shows how it works during the concert and puts repetitive beats in so he can do more special effects in real time during the song. 👍 Believe it or not, Adam used to do this song medley live before he started using a looper a few years ago! 😳🤯 Adam is a total BEAST!!
Adam (the beatboxer) uses special pads/mics to pick up percussion with either his hands or feet. And he uses a live looper for some of the percussion. They also use it for some layering background vocals that the guys just cannot do if they are singing within the song. Like the twangy jaw harp sound in "Man of Constant Sorrow"? Well it hurts Chance's voice if he tried to do it throughout the song. Plus he does background vocals in that song so the looper helps. They explain it at the concerts. Once the song is done, it gets erased to use over again. There was a concert where Adam was recording a beat during his drum solo section and someone yelled....the yell got in the recording for the looper so he had to redo it. LOL
Enjoyed your reaction....just subbed for more Home Free! It just doesn't get any better than these 5 guys! They dont put on a concert....they give us a party! This video was shot in Mankato MN....Adam Rupps (beatboxer) home town...so it made it even more special for them!
I've always said these guys are more than just "country acapella" but are true entertainers. I've been blessed to see them in person 3 times and each time it was better than the last.
Wasn't that great! Finally a professional live recording! This is one of my favorite medleys. Fan recordings on their phones can never clearly capture the true sound. So glad Home Free did this.
@@setonhillstudiosone of my favourite originals by #HomeFree is Dreamer, Live at the Ryman feat. Texas Hill where Tim does a fun mid-song intro of everyone! Done during their first tour after Covid. It’s worth checking out.
I know some sea shanty songs from my dad's dad since he was a cook in the navy in ww2. But I know these guys are great I have made it to a few of their video premieres and the homefree guys have been in the chat so I highly recommend when they drop videos you might like to show up to their premieres because sometimes a few show up in personal accounts to chat with fans. They are going to drop a new video this coming Friday
They dropped this medley March 2021. So we’ve had a long while to learn the words. For a raw HomeFree song recorded by the audience on a phone. Remember even with looping, it’s still just five guys singing. Castle on the Hill w looper ua-cam.com/video/MB3vPzYlQ4Q/v-deo.html
Yes! I would LOVE to hear a Seton Hill Studios reaction to "Castle on the Hill!" It's fantastic, and when they recorded that one, it was the first time the looping system was used.
Real deal indeed!!! They have a great humorous side and don't take their selves too seriously! No egos in this group! "Butts Medley/Remix", "Brother" and the list goes on! They also have a lot of originals written by various members! Home Fry for life! 🤠
Hello, Home Fry here and new subscriber. Home Free is my favorite group by far! Besides being fabulous musicians and singers, they are just down to earth and caring people. They have videos that will make you cry and videos that will make you laugh till you cry. They have many original songs as well (Playing With Fire, Catch Me If You Can and Understand to name a few). They also have some songs that are 5 part harmonies (Adam the beatboxer is also a tenor) like Helplessly Hoping that is stunning. I just love these boys! ❤ Thank you for your reactions. #HomeFree
Thank you so much for watching! So far I am amazed by their versatility. Such an incredible group. Can’t wait to hear more from them! Have a great one!
Isn't it amazing? A few thousand people singing sea shanties along with an acapella group. They did a great job with this one ( I only knew one of the songs before discovering Home Free ) They are entertainers for sure. , Adam's newer Drum Solo videos show his demonstrations of how he records his sounds and his and the group's vocals and how he layers them and the end of the videos are just him. It feels like you're at a rave, he's so good. Thanks for the Home Free reactions
Before sea shanties came back as a genre I only knew 2-3 english speaking ones. But yeah, we Fries know at least the ones they sing I've seen them live in concert, the music vibrates through you (mostly Tims fault), it's an experience. And they are funny guys.
It’s amazing how good they sound live. Home free are awesome, it’s a bit sad Austin is leaving but hopefully they’ll do some great colabs. ❤ So many great songs to choose from. They did a lot of good music during covid including one of my favs Everybody Walking this Land. I knew the first two songs from childhood but the rest just from HF
They are starting their new U. S.tour this March. Go see them if they come close. You havent seen their comedy skills yet. They are truly entertainers.
@@setonhillstudios They have a definite sense of humor that you will find in many of their videos. And on occasion, it seeps out on stage. Usually off the cuff stuff like comments about something funny that happened. Usually if there is something wrong or they just can't help themselves and have to tell about it. They used to do actual music skits in their shows but they phased them out a few years ago. One of the best is "What we are thinking when we're singing" or "Guilty Pleasures" I miss those skits!
WI born and bred we have a large population of ship builders and being surrounded by Big Water (Superior and Michigan) we learned a lot of sea shanties in grade school. (I'm 58) I was familiar with all of these but Home Free just makes them better and a hell of a lot of fun. can confirm These Guys are the total package live.
Shout out to Kristin Denehy who has been choreographing Home Free's movements on stage for over a decade. It's a wonder her hair isn't grey yet, working with this wonderful goofballs. Several a cappella groups have been doing a lot of sea shanties for several years now. VoicePlay has a few: Wellerman, Drunken Sailor, and Hoist the Colours are the one that come to mind. And their new one, Sleeping in the Cold, from the video game Warframe, is called a space shanty. The Bass Gang did a video for a slower, darker sounding sea shanty called Jolly Sailor Bold that is fantastic. Half-way joking, I always tell reactors new to that group to guess which one is the professional opera singer. Their number from The Beauty and the Beast, Gaston, is a great showcase for their talents. And I love the way they worked around Marwan, their 4th member, not being able to be with them physically.
For a live video that both terrific & funny, watch "Ooops Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On" mashup: ua-cam.com/video/qKA7MzGxG1A/v-deo.htmlsi=WnDPAzQROjUY-NMs. It's an older one when Chris Rupp (Adam Rupp's brother) was still with them. Love from Canada.
@@setonhillstudios - Incidentally, many years ago I had an entire book of sheet music for sea shanties - there are tons of them. It wasn't especially pirates but any seafarers (usually naval - rather like army marching songs).
The fans know all #homefree songs by heart. They perform all year long, so they've got it down to a T. For more of Rob in his powerful lower range, see "Two Country Singers Try to Sing Opera," with Rob and Austin Brown, on Austin's channel.
They seem to have them down for sure! Thanks for watching! Such a talented group!
Austin & Rob's duet of "Nessun Dorma" is terrific!
the musicianship displayed here is next level talent such great and tight harmonies themelodies are cool they are good at putting on a good show
I was in that audience. That whole show was fabulous. You can see how electric the atmosphere was. This was their encore and we got to hear it twice to ensure that they got enough good camera footage. They are amazing in person.
That’s awesome!! I bet that was so much fun! Definitely electric! ⚡️ Thanks for sharing!
It's a looper so it's still his voice. Nice reaction ❤❤❤
Thanks so much! ❤️
....and they will show you what he is doing at each concert as well.(Usually before they sing Man Of Constant Sorrow) If they ever use and instrument, they are up front and let you know. They are amazing in concert. If they ever come near you...GO SEE THEM! It is worth it! @@setonhillstudios

Until you've seen them live you don't really understand how good they are.
Definitely so! This live performance was epic, must be awesome to be there in person!
You need to check out Skull and Bones. The software company contacted Home Free after hearing their Sea Shanty, to write a song for their pirate song. Adam Chance (the first singer, baritone) wrote the song and HF recorded it. There are 3 versions, the latest one is a short movie and the best IMO.
Oh awesome! I have to make sure and check that out! Thanks so much! Have a great day! 😁

Oh sweet! I gotta check that out! We watched Dan Vasc’s rendition of Nessum Dorma not too long ago! I’d love to hear the comparison in styles! Thanks!
If you want to hear Adam’s Nomonica live you can watch Man Of Constant Sorrow by fan cam there should be many online.
Nomonica 😂😂😂 love it
Ok sweet!
Great reaction~!! I saw them live last night. And yes they are like this. Most of the crowd knows their songs and sings along. Everyone had a blast! I'm ready to see them live again.
That’s so awesome, I bet the show was amazing!
I have tickets to a concert next month and can't wait, I've never seen them live! You do a great reaction, thanks!
Thanks so much!! Lucky You! That’s gonna be a blast. Stop by the channel after and let us know how it went!
You are going to have so much fun! Home Free concerts are parties!!
Same I will be seeing them in Kalamazoo on April 12!
Tim Foust, killer of Sub Woofers! It's happened! Also, you should check out Adam Rupp (the beatboxer) do his "drum solo" live at their concerts! It's mindblowing!
So EPIC!! Crazy what is possible with the human voice! 🤯

Sea Shanty Home Free did a great job on this song. I am glad that Chance started this song and Chance is a baritone. Rob did a great job to. Austin did a great job to. Adam did a great job on beatboxing. I can hear Tim's low bass voice. I heard that Tim has five octaves. Home Free is my favorite group. The harmonies are great. 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
I really enjoyed your reaction. I got to see them in concert. I got my roommate to go with me. She's 82. I have 3 residents (I'm a nurse in a dementia/Alzheimer's facility) who are now diehard Home Free fans.
Oh wow! That’s so cool! Thanks for sharing! 😄
Know them because of Home Free.
Killer performance! Thanks for stopping by!
Absolutely NO DRUM PADS or electronic sounds!! It's ALL Adam Rupp...PERIOD.
The only piece of equipment he uses, other than a microphone, is a dual looper station. As good as Adam is, even *he* can't make 4 or 5 sounds at once! Lol
He shows how it works during the concert and puts repetitive beats in so he can do more special effects in real time during the song. 👍 Believe it or not, Adam used to do this song medley live before he started using a looper a few years ago! 😳🤯 Adam is a total BEAST!!
Ah ok, didn’t make that connection thanks for the info! Thats crazy he was trying to make all that happen without a looper before 😳
Adam (the beatboxer) uses special pads/mics to pick up percussion with either his hands or feet. And he uses a live looper for some of the percussion. They also use it for some layering background vocals that the guys just cannot do if they are singing within the song. Like the twangy jaw harp sound in "Man of Constant Sorrow"? Well it hurts Chance's voice if he tried to do it throughout the song. Plus he does background vocals in that song so the looper helps. They explain it at the concerts. Once the song is done, it gets erased to use over again. There was a concert where Adam was recording a beat during his drum solo section and someone yelled....the yell got in the recording for the looper so he had to redo it. LOL
Wow that’s super cool, thanks for the info! Definitely brings some clarity to how they’re pulling it off!
The only reason I know these songs is because Home Free’s videos during lockdown. Another part of the show is Adam Rupp doing his “drum solo”.
That makes sense! I still need to check that out!
My sister and I were part of that concert! Front row, enjoying a show with 7,000 others
So awesome, I bet it was quite the experience!
They are real talents, real people, real hard working, really worth your time!
💯 Couldn’t agree more from the little I’ve seen! Thanks for swinging by!
I saw them live last July in California and this was the last song they did and the crowd was SO loud singing along. It was incredible! ♥️
I bet it was quite the experience!
They call their concerts PARTIES!!
Makes sense! Seems like a GREAT time!! 🎉
Enjoyed your reaction....just subbed for more Home Free! It just doesn't get any better than these 5 guys! They dont put on a concert....they give us a party! This video was shot in Mankato MN....Adam Rupps (beatboxer) home town...so it made it even more special for them!
Thanks so much, glad you’re enjoying the content! That’s so cool this was in his home town, they definitely were showing the love!
I've always said these guys are more than just "country acapella" but are true entertainers. I've been blessed to see them in person 3 times and each time it was better than the last.
Wow! I bet that was amazing! They are definitely on my list for a live show! Would love to make that happen one day!
you absolutely should go to a show@@setonhillstudios
THE GREATEST A-Capella Group out there! Zero bad music!! 🥰🎶
Absolutely incredible! Such an amazingly talented group! Thanks for swinging by!
Lol!!! No one knows a sea shanty until Home Free sings one!!! 😄😄😄
That makes sense! 🤣
Wasn't that great! Finally a professional live recording! This is one of my favorite medleys. Fan recordings on their phones can never clearly capture the true sound. So glad Home Free did this.
Phenomenal performance! They definitely did an amazing job! Appreciate you swinging by the channel!
@@setonhillstudiosone of my favourite originals by #HomeFree is Dreamer, Live at the Ryman feat. Texas Hill where Tim does a fun mid-song intro of everyone! Done during their first tour after Covid. It’s worth checking out.
I know some sea shanty songs from my dad's dad since he was a cook in the navy in ww2. But I know these guys are great I have made it to a few of their video premieres and the homefree guys have been in the chat so I highly recommend when they drop videos you might like to show up to their premieres because sometimes a few show up in personal accounts to chat with fans. They are going to drop a new video this coming Friday
That’s awesome they’re interactive like that! They seem like super down to earth guys! We’ll have to be on the lookout for the new video!
@@setonhillstudios homefree is dropping a new video this Friday.
They dropped this medley March 2021. So we’ve had a long while to learn the words.
For a raw HomeFree song recorded by the audience on a phone. Remember even with looping, it’s still just five guys singing.
Castle on the Hill w looper

Yes! I would LOVE to hear a Seton Hill Studios reaction to "Castle on the Hill!" It's fantastic, and when they recorded that one, it was the first time the looping system was used.
Thanks for the link! Yeah I guess that’s been a few years! Loved the crowd interaction!
@@setonhillstudiosI will add that their Castle on the Hill video is a great watch - fun video! One of my favs.
@@setonhillstudios The Sea Shanty concert was in the group’s home town, Mankato MN. So they had a good crowd.
Real deal indeed!!! They have a great humorous side and don't take their selves too seriously! No egos in this group! "Butts Medley/Remix", "Brother" and the list goes on! They also have a lot of originals written by various members! Home Fry for life! 🤠
Hello, Home Fry here and new subscriber. Home Free is my favorite group by far! Besides being fabulous musicians and singers, they are just down to earth and caring people. They have videos that will make you cry and videos that will make you laugh till you cry. They have many original songs as well (Playing With Fire, Catch Me If You Can and Understand to name a few). They also have some songs that are 5 part harmonies (Adam the beatboxer is also a tenor) like Helplessly Hoping that is stunning. I just love these boys! ❤ Thank you for your reactions. #HomeFree
Thank you so much for watching! So far I am amazed by their versatility. Such an incredible group. Can’t wait to hear more from them! Have a great one!
Isn't it amazing? A few thousand people singing sea shanties along with an acapella group. They did a great job with this one ( I only knew one of the songs before discovering Home Free ) They are entertainers for sure. , Adam's newer Drum Solo videos show his demonstrations of how he records his sounds and his and the group's vocals and how he layers them and the end of the videos are just him. It feels like you're at a rave, he's so good. Thanks for the Home Free reactions
Thanks for watching! It is absolutely amazing! Anytime so many people are singing in unison it is so cool to see/hear!
Before sea shanties came back as a genre I only knew 2-3 english speaking ones. But yeah, we Fries know at least the ones they sing
I've seen them live in concert, the music vibrates through you (mostly Tims fault), it's an experience. And they are funny guys.
So awesome, I bet the live show is quite the experience!
Could watch this video everyday!
It’s a great one!
It’s amazing how good they sound live.
Home free are awesome, it’s a bit sad Austin is leaving but hopefully they’ll do some great colabs. ❤
So many great songs to choose from. They did a lot of good music during covid including one of my favs Everybody Walking this Land.
I knew the first two songs from childhood but the rest just from HF
It really is crazy how good they are! Their catalogue is deep for sure, so many options!
@@setonhillstudios if you want something really fun of theirs react to the Butts Remix 🤣
When I was teaching second grade decades ago most of the sea shanties were in our music books.
That’s cool!
This was so fun, they killed it. Have you checked out skull and bones yet?
They absolutely did! No, not yet but a few other people have requested it! Gonna add it to the list for sure! Thanks for stopping by the channel! 😎
I get to see them again the 26th of this month, long drive but it is worth it.
💯
If you want more nomonica, try Working For A Living
Awesome! Appreciate the suggestion! Have a great one!
Great reaction, thank you!
Thanks so much for watching! Incredible singers!!!
Tim Foust is the bass. He is a basso profundo. He can break speakers. Listen to Ring of Fire.
Thanks for the suggestion! Shaking the house with those low notes! 🎶
They are starting their new U. S.tour this March. Go see them if they come close. You havent seen their comedy skills yet. They are truly entertainers.
They got comedy skills too? What can’t these guys do?
@@setonhillstudios They have a definite sense of humor that you will find in many of their videos. And on occasion, it seeps out on stage. Usually off the cuff stuff like comments about something funny that happened. Usually if there is something wrong or they just can't help themselves and have to tell about it. They used to do actual music skits in their shows but they phased them out a few years ago. One of the best is "What we are thinking when we're singing" or "Guilty Pleasures" I miss those skits!
Tim, (the deep bass), could be a standup comic. He is the frontman for the group and is very quick on his feet with witty comebacks and stories.
I didn't grow up knowing sea shanties, I learned them because I am a United States Navy veteran ❤❤❤❤❤
First of all, thank you so much for your service! We truly appreciate our veterans! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for stopping by!
There is a old video, recorded on a cell phone, in a show of the song 9 to 5. If you like beatboxing, this video will make your head explode.
Yeah we got a few requests for that! I definitely have to check it out! Thanks so much for sharing!
WI born and bred we have a large population of ship builders and being surrounded by Big Water (Superior and Michigan) we learned a lot of sea shanties in grade school. (I'm 58) I was familiar with all of these but Home Free just makes them better and a hell of a lot of fun. can confirm These Guys are the total package live.
So cool! Thanks for sharing! I bet they are amazing live! This performance was so epic!
If you want to hear more "nomonica:" from Adam, check out "Ain't Goin Down Till the Sun Comes Up".
Sweet, thanks for the recommendation!
#HOMEFREE
Shout out to Kristin Denehy who has been choreographing Home Free's movements on stage for over a decade. It's a wonder her hair isn't grey yet, working with this wonderful goofballs. Several a cappella groups have been doing a lot of sea shanties for several years now. VoicePlay has a few: Wellerman, Drunken Sailor, and Hoist the Colours are the one that come to mind. And their new one, Sleeping in the Cold, from the video game Warframe, is called a space shanty. The Bass Gang did a video for a slower, darker sounding sea shanty called Jolly Sailor Bold that is fantastic. Half-way joking, I always tell reactors new to that group to guess which one is the professional opera singer. Their number from The Beauty and the Beast, Gaston, is a great showcase for their talents. And I love the way they worked around Marwan, their 4th member, not being able to be with them physically.
Wow! Thanks for all the info! I enjoyed this so much and can’t wait to check out more in the future! Have a great one! 😁
Yep they're the best ... kids, parents and grandparents. I'm the latter. Nana Karen UK
Nice to meet you Nana Karen! They truly are incredible! Thanks for swinging by the channel and have a great day! 😁
Did you catch Adam Rupp doing the sea swell and castanets in the last shanty?
Definitely think I missed that!
For a live video that both terrific & funny, watch "Ooops Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On" mashup: ua-cam.com/video/qKA7MzGxG1A/v-deo.htmlsi=WnDPAzQROjUY-NMs. It's an older one when Chris Rupp (Adam Rupp's brother) was still with them. Love from Canada.
Sweet, thanks for the recommendation!
@@setonhillstudios - Incidentally, many years ago I had an entire book of sheet music for sea shanties - there are tons of them. It wasn't especially pirates but any seafarers (usually naval - rather like army marching songs).
They are not "natural performers", singers yes. But every step they make on the stage is choreographed. Watch some BTS videos😉
Need to check em out! Thanks for the suggestion!
