2011 Christmas Tour is one of my favourite tours I've ever had the privilege to participate in! Home Free is legit some of the coolest dudes! Love ya Rob and Chris! And yeah, Tim Foust, can't be mad at that:). Super cool dude and legend bassman! So glad Home Free is continuing to grow and achieve greatness this last decade! xx Reunion??? :)
@MatthewTuey YES Please Help twist their arms !!! Home Fries need ALL of the members past to show up and tell us stories sing a song if you'd like we just Love every bit of the whole !!!!!
Again: thank you for taking the time to record these history videos! So far I learned something new in every episode and I very much enjoy listening to you go down memory lane!
Thank you, Chris, for putting these together. They've been so fun and informative to watch!
This was fantastic I really enjoyed finding out new things about Home Free Rob was awesome I loved the way y’all walk us down memory lane looking forward to seeing episode 4 with Tim and Austin 😃
Thanks for sharing the history of the early times. Looking forward to next week.
I swear, Adam must have a portrait in his attic (like Dorian Gray) because he's barely aged! Love seeing the old days for Home Free
You have such a great memory Chris. You guys have been thru so much to get these guys to the successful group they are, so thank you for starting this whole thing. May you continue successful in your own future endeavors. Can't wait for the next chapter of these great trips down memory lane. ✌❤
Rob, You look younger and better than you did 7 years ago, and I've found all the weight you lost.
Yay!!! Another video! Love watching the gradual make of my favourite Acapella Group! ❤ It was you guys who literally got me hooked to English (a foreign language to me!) songs!!! Great job in recording the history Chris❤
Thanks, Chris and Rob. I still think Kickin It Old School and Live on the Road are my favorite albums.
So very grateful for these history lessons, really informative and very entertaining. Looking forward to however many are to follow. Thankyou!!
that was so much fun. Thank you for doing this series.
Thank you so much, Chris, for this. I so much enjoy the ‘backstory’, of the band.
Can you call it a band without instruments? Oh wait, you do have instruments, all in one lovely body.
Thanks again to all.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Beautiful voice, my personal favorite. Keep on singing! ❤😊
This is great!! Thank you so much for putting these together and giving us Home Fries a peek into the past.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
I am so enjoying this continuing backstory!!
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Love hearing the history of Home Free. I look forward to the next segment.
Thanks again Chris for such a great interview with Rob. He is such a cool chill guy. I learned a lot of interesting things about Home Free's past. And the sound was really clear. Looking forward to the other episodes.
These are amazing, thanks for filling us in, your both oh so talented!! 💕💕
So fun to see Rob! I love getting to see you guys in relaxed settings like this. Seem like such genuine guys. Also, it was adorable to hear how Rob and Tim became bosom buddies 🤗
Rob, I have been searching out older videos starring you boys before you were Home Free. Yes, I said ‘starring’. To me, you guys were the stars. I found Blue Horizon, starring Tim, and Chance in Street Corner Symphony. But I can’t find any of you in your previous life. Can you point me in the right direction?
I assume you mean Blue Jupiter for Tim? Rob honestly doesn't have any pre-Home Free videos that I know of, HF was his first significant group!
-Chris
@@ChrisRuppOfficial I did. Thanks for the correction. Rob didn’t have a previous life? I’m not sure I did either, before finding you all.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
It was great seeing you and Rob together talking about the good, and not-so-good old days of Home Free! I can’t imagine life without Home Free music in my ears! I was already a fan of the Sing Off from the first season, when season 3 started, I was hooked from Home Free’s first appearance! I started looking y’all up online and UA-cam! I’m with Rob, Chris! Thank you and Adam so very much for starting the group! I saw y’all live in 2014 and 2015 when you were still with them. I’ve been to 5 shows since then! I hope you and Home Free decide to collaborate more! I’m really enjoying these videos!
Love hearing the background of the group!
Maybe a Chris Rupp + Home Free collab soon?!
Also, it’s so very interesting to hear how Rob’s speaking voice is very different from his lovely light, airy tenor singing voice.
Looking forward to the next episode 😊
Thank you so much for continuing to share the journey Home Free went on. It is always great to hear people's backstory, and how the band came to be. Again, so impressed with how hard all of you worked to get to where you are now.
Chris these videos are so great really interesting to learn how this all came together, I never new there were so many a cappella groups. I really wish you guys were on the radio, I know I have not heard you. Maybe its an North east thing.
Listening to you guys like around 6 mon. 🔥ABSOLUTELY THE BEST of the BEST🔥
❤🔥💛🔥💚🔥💙😘💛🔥💚🔥💙🔥❤
My 1st was "Man Of Constant Sorrow" 🤘
Chris, this series has been awesome, thanks!!
Thank you Chris for putting together the "Home Free History." This was great fun! 😊
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
So very cool ! Chris, Rob, thank you !
This was so interesting to hear from Rob. For him to say that Tim was funny made me laugh. Can't wait to see the next episode with Tim and Austin. Thank you for all of your hard work Chris. I also want you to know that I picked you guys as the winner of The Sing Off. I told my husband if you didn't win I would never watch the show again, and I meant that.
So much fun! Great series full of stories between old friends. Gotta love that! Also fun to hear ND mentioned. Most people don't even know we're a state! 😂 Although considering how cold it is here tonight, I'm starting to agree with Tim! Think we should all move south and I was born here! Thanks for the time you put in interacting with the fans. Class A group all around!
Still love to hear HF's backstory, and this was very interesting.
Now we all know to thanks Melissa for "The Beard" 😉😂😂
Judge Shawn mentioned to Rob about never cutting the beard too. Thanks for doing these, it's very interesting to know the history and how members came to be in the group and a little about their thoughts on things and how it all fell into place.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Souls never age so music means as much to old crowds in small towns as it does to beautiful, young women on cruise ships (Not that I don't understand the appeal). Good music makes us all feel young. You guys are astounding musicians. It would be interesting to hear the mechanics of how you arrange the different voices...tenor, bass, baritone.
My favorite Home Free dude. Rob!!!! Loved this so much.
Thanks Chris for share this with all Home Frees story. Interesting.
This has been so great! I love hearing the stories of how Home Free progressed through the years. Thank you Chris!
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Another Awesome video, Thanks for sharing!!! Just goes to show that not everything happens on the first try but keep on plugging on. Keep on Dreaming!!! I'm so glad you guys came together as you have helped so many people that you don't even know about and some you never will. I personally feel that God put you guys together at the right time and for a purpose. You guys reach people's souls and some you bring alive again. You offer people hope that we all can get through anything. Thank you for blood, sweat, tears, achy bodies, sleepless nights, family sacrifices, and all the other goofy things you all have done to be successful and keep on making us Fries love you even more
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
The way you guys are describing Daren recording Live shows reninds me of Uncle Bob in the Movie
that thing you Do 🤣
Thanks again for the info on Home Free History, Looking forward to the next one!!
Very nice!!! ❤️
Love these!!
Chris Rupp should know that with or without hair he is one sexy dude. And we love him for his talent too.
Great interview. I love Rob! Thanks!
It made my day! I get Home for work and discovered another episode of Home Free History🥰
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
I love hearing all this. And I LOVE HOME FREE! ❤️❤️❤️
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Thank you thank you thank you for these early days blogs. Looking forward to the next one.👍😊😊
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Just love Robs singing.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
older people have more money to spend --lol
Mega fan and I’ve learned so much about the guys in doing these. Love to you both!
Forever my favourite band- thank you so much for this series Chris! You guys are angels
ALSO CHRIS YOUR SMILE IS SO PRETTY
Also also, I’m curious as to who Matt played in les mis
Thank you Chris Rupp for putting these videos together.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Let me guess. The cruise ship pushed you to four to save 20% of what they were paying the group, right?
Who the heck would go into an interview or a try out without having done any preparation??? If I was going to audition for a group like that I would have picked up every recording they've ever done, gotten any sheets I could, even attended a concert if I could, and WORKED to have the part nailed before I ever showed up, WITH some of my own new interpretations and brilliant spur of the moment bantering quips if the group did that sort of thing in concerts, which I would ask if they wanted my to work in, or not. I'm not a professional musician, but sometimes ya gotta wonder. That applies in ANY type of interview, and man, does it give you a leg up.
And as for the banter, well worked out and entertaining banter, for me, is a definite plus. And I don't mind nonsense, as long as it is entertaining. It does need to be a bit applicable, though. I'm thinking of the Canadian Brass, for one example here. Then there are (were, unfortunately) acts like Victor Borga, which were polished and entertaining to the nth degree (if you haven't seen his stuff, DO, you can thank me later). Brilliant and irreverant (but never crude) humor, the kind that will have you laughing out loud, like Pinette.
Oh, and I can tell you what type of person does that (total lack of preparedness). The kind that is very likely not to get the job. Folks, if you don't do this, listen to and internalize this idea. Life is hard, it's harder if you are cluelessly ignorant. And if you're a man shaking a man's hand in the interviews, don't offer a wet noodle of a shake. That will end it right there. Actually, now that I think of it, it applies to women, too. I'm not talking about crushing their hand, just a firm shake, like you mean it. Effort pays off.
And as for Tim setting the bar. Yeah, that is exactly zero in the surprise scale, for me. One of a handful of truly awesome basses out there. And don't even get me started on Adam, holy crap. THAT is what truly dedicated effort, and love of what you are doing produces. As for Chris, for me his ultra top tier talent is arranging. He is very good at other things, but there I think he resides at or near the top. Austin, pipes, pipes, pipes. Rob can damn sure whistle, and smooth. That's why you guys are where you are, ultimately. No weak links. Adding Tim was the best decision you ever made, and I think Elliot is another at that level, but quite different. Another genius of smooth and silky.
As all waters run south and enter the Gulfstream,from the point of the continental divide , our lives flow out to sea, to be washed into the vast wastewater--like eve tone else's.
Hello Gail..
Wait a minute….you mean the choice to be country was only a strategy decision for the show? I’m not sure how I feel about that. LOL I am glad you are continuing to share the history. Still love the music, but….so, all those times with Alabama or Oak Ridge Boys…was that real? Do Rob and Tim still not like country music?
I also wonder if the guys ever regret the decision to focus on the Country genre?? Either way, I'm so grateful they got the Sing Off exposure so more of us were introduced to their genius--and bonus for me, I ❤️ Country 🎶🎶
@@marshac7738 so true. I certainly didn't know they were working with the various iterations of members. Remember the video "Good Ol' Country Harmony"? I thought that was sort of autobiographical, that at some level they knew each other younger (not Chance who I know joined later). Well, as you, I only found them due to the Sing Off, so I'm happy about that. Were they always called Home Free? Sounds country to me, so perhaps not....oh no. 😮
Tim went back to his routes which was country
This was very interesting. I love backstories. You put in a lot of hard work and it worked out. What great friends and fun you have. Thanks
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Thank you Chris for another great story about all of y'all. It is so interesting to hear how the group came together. Looking forward to hearing more. Thanks again.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
I really enjoy hearing these stories. Home Free is so, so good-love listening to your music.
could`nt understand why Chris stopped preforming with the group, I loved Chris` voice and facial expressions
Learn more every time.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Thank you, Chris, for recording these history videos! They are awesome!

Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Really enjoyed your journey, so glad you stuck with it.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Sorry Chris, but your choice was probably the wrong one. Just sayin.
Wait… Chris is the BARITONE and Rob is the (Counter) TENOR?!?😂Love the range and harmony guys!
Love these! 💕💕
TY for releasing this interview. I am sitting here in January 2023 listening to this which appears to have been recorded in 2016. I only recently discovered the existence of Home Free. You guys, from this interview are not an overnight success. TY for the Hard work.
It's interesting to know that Rob actually also started on cruise ships, like Austin Brown. Thank you @Chris Rupp, it took me a minute to figure out that you were doing the interview!
Oh so nice to hear the backstories. Where would I be without you guys? Pretty down. Love your music and your stories and your friendships. So much fun but obviously hard work. Glad you’re still together!!! Thank you Chris for founding Home Free-just the best. Thank you Rob. 🥰😍😄
Love!!!
Wonderful insight into one of my favorite groups and (obviously) my favorite a cappella group!
Did Rob have an itch he could not seem to stay off his behind/back ? something was not sitting good there :-)
This is great...Thank you for putting this together. I love Home Free!!!
So glad you made I really enjoy HomeFree I just started during this Covid
I'm enjoying these but a remote mic closer to you guys would be nice
Chris an Rob , u look great!! Thanks Chris!
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
These are so great, learning how the group developed and all you went threw.
I really am enjoying these early history interviews.!!
This series is great Chris.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
I would love to hear Rob tell his individual background and then the Home Free stuff.
Can you do this with all of you? Tell their individual career stories and then their experiences with Home Free? It's just interesting to hear how it became what we enjoy listening to today from all the difference perspectives.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
4:59 I laughed right along with Chris!
So glad you guys stuck thru the tough years ❤️
I'm loving this series, so much fun to hear the stories about the good old days, and see the videos and pictures. Looking forward to the next episodes.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Amazing to hear how they started - with almost nothing but just pushed on!! thank you for that!!
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Thanks, both of you. That was great! 😀
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
It was St. James that really got you going!!😄
