    Once upon a time (2012), an a capella group went on a Royal Caribbean cruise as guest singers... They were warned about one of the singers in the permanent cast of being an a capella enthusiast. This enthusiast was Austin Brown, who, first time hearing Home Free sing, thought, "I gotta sing with them, I gotta sing with them..." Home Free went to Austin's performance (he was featured singer), in which Austin sang Bring Him Home. Blew the HF boys away! Soon after, one of the HF co-founders retired, and they hired Austin. Not long after that, HF auditioned for the 4th season of the Sing-Off (2013), and... the rest is history. If you get a chance, check out the Sing-Off performances, as they're live. These performances really show how HF went from a good pop a capella group to a country a capella phenomenon. Austin is featured heavily because the Sing-Off producers only wanted to showcase a couple singers per group. And, yes, check out Austin's version of Bring Him Home on his channel. Incredible. Follow that with Two Country Singers Try to Sing Opera - Nessun Dorma. (Also on Austin's channel.)

      In fact Home Free made Austin wait 6 months before getting in touch , having agreed to meet him in Chicago (of all the places for a Southern boy to hang around). He worked as a waiter, probably remembering his days on the ships when the living was easy! and was about to give up and move to New York and the audition circuit there. It's hard not to wonder what his career would have been like if Rob hadn't got in touch.

    This is an early performances by Home Free. Chris Rupp was still a member. To do Austin's performance of Bring Him Home justice, you ought to see his solo accompanied with his friend Sebastian on piano at Austin's home. Austin (and the other Home Free members ) have only improved through the years.
    Tim (bas) is the member with a five octave range. Fans say that Tim is developing s six octave range. All the members are true professionals who take their art seriously. On top of that, they are nice humble guys who treat their fans and other musicians with respect.

    These people, the members of these groups... You'll notice, I hope, that, for the most part, when we speak about the members of the various groups as a group, a collective, we'll quite often refer to them as "these people" or as the "members of the groups". It isn't often that we refer to them as human. Mostly because...ya know, we're not quite sure. Oh, they're people, certainly! But, human? Jury's still out on that one. The level of talent they each display, each in their own way, just isn't normal.
    ( Of course they're human! But, the sheer talent each of them has is insane. So much so it's almost enough to make one wonder. )

    If you don't know the background, Austin is trained in theater, and the members of Home Free came across him on a cruise ship and immediately asked him to join the group. If you are interested in the history of Home Free then check out Chris Rupp's UA-cam channel and there is a 4 part history of Home Free, as well as some of his reviews of HF songs where he was still a member of the group and he explains the behind the scenes on a lot of the songs.

    • @patriciamcl54
      @patriciamcl54 Рік тому

      They didn't ask him immediately, since they didn't have a vacancy. Rob was the one who quietly let him know that it was likely that there would be one. They then made him wait 6 months before getting in touch. This is not a kind way to treat a young performer who has to make a living and should in that period have been in New York auditioning. As it was, he had to work as a waiter. Even when they got in touch, they made him audition, even though he had sung with them several times on board ship. They don''t seem to have understood what they had stumbled across, and mainly hired him because he could read music!

If you compare the two, perhaps you will notice his voice wavers and breaks a little hear. In the solo, he actually hits clearer and (believe it or not) higher.

    Austin's voice has changed in the last few years. He seems to have worked on it during lockdown, which also gave him a chance to rest the voice and kick back with his new (then) gf, who helped him develop his solo channel. The voice is now fuller and more mature sounding but with added sweetness in the head voice and a gorgeous lower register. I do rather feel that it's not quite fair to show video of someone years before they hit their best, particularly since his latest version is right there on his channel.

Chris has left and was replaced by Adam 'Chance' Chance who regularly fills in for Tim on bass when Tim is singing/leading!

      Chance does a great deal more than fill in for Tim. His leads are amazing and his voice blends perfectly in harmony. He has brought an enormous breadth of musical knowledge and taste to the band as they have struggled to throw off the reputation of being basically unserious, and has directed several videos. He has also developed an impressive solo career (putting out an album later this year) and in collab with the Hound and the Fox. Chance is the best thing to happen to the band since winning the Sing Off.

The groups are really different in the direction they go and the types of presentations they do. Just relax and ENJOY them is my advice.
