Hey bro peeps in our live stream where shouting you out! You got a new follower! Matt had a blast and you can hear all about it in our brothers in arms reaction! Much love from the 307! ❤️❤️❤️ keep grinding!
If you want to hear more of Rob taking lead I'd suggest End of the Road, Blue Ain't Your Color and One Man Band (everyone sings in this but Rob sounds amazing). Or Take Me Home Country Roads, which is an all time favorite for me.
I'm still pushing for their original "Dreamer" Rob takes the lead in that one as well. It's just a really special song IMO. Definitely worth a listen whenever you get to it.
Most definitely, End of The Road. Rob will make you proud! Blue Ain't Your Color is another one Rob takes lead. Its time for Mayday, too. You've earned it. Love your humor and your reactions, keep em coming.
Home Free auditioned for the SingOff four times but didn't make the cut the first three times. Between their third and fourth audition they added Tim and a few months later Austin. Rob joined in 2008. There is a funny video on Tim's channel introducing Chance in 2016 called Between Two Tims where he gives Adam Chance grief for not winning the SingOff when he competed with his former group during season 2.
You know the group was formed in 2000 by Chris & Adam Rupp in Mankato, Minnesota when they were in college. At this point, it was mostly a hobby. By 2007 they had enough of a following to pursue music full-time. During this period, they sang mostly pop songs, Chris & Adam and Matt Atwood (lead tenor) formed the core of the group. Rob Lundquist another Minnesotan, joined in 2008 after the group he was singing with disbanded. They reached out to Tim Foust who already had a reputation in the acapella world for some suggestions for a bass. For whatever reasons those people did not work out and Tim started guest subbing with them in 2010. Tim joined them full-time in January 2012. Later that same year they met Austin Brown on a cruise ship where they were all working. Home Free as guest stars and Austin was part of the in-house group of singers..Austin a self-described aca geek told them if they ever needed him just call. As it happened Matt was married and his wife was expecting their first child so he decided to retire from Home Free. They called Austin & he joined them full time in January of 2013. In 2016 Chris decided to leave to pursue other musical interests. They asked Chance to join the group.
The reactors are "307 Reacts" from Wyoming. Great guys, lots of fun, full of knowledge. The reactor who went to the concert is Matt. Said he had unbelievable time with Adam and Chance ( see their review of Band of Brothers where hyped up Matt tells his tale). Think you'll enjoy.
@@dotwyness4110 Thanks Dot. I realized my mistake after pressing send. Unfortunately, I'm 1 of those people that can never remember a title, but can sing all the words. 😊😊😊😊😊😊
It's funny you mention that Adam is a one man band. They actually do a song called "One Man Band" cover by Old Dominion which is so fantastic. Thanks for your reactions. You are my favorite Home Free reactor. Ever think about going into comedy? You make me laugh every time. Always look forward to your reactions! :)
Enjoy you’re reactions. Might I suggest “Take Me Home Country Roads”. Home Free puts a different spin on it. It’s truly amazing and the best version out there.
Yes, Chris and Adam started Homefree in 2000, eventually over time, they found Tim on line, Rob from another a capella group, Austin they found on a cruise ship and Chance came from another a capella group also, after Chris left. I think Chris helped get Chance.
I love Adam's long locks as well. I have heard that he grew his hair to donate to cancer charity. If that's the case, then another example of what he's like. Rob's voice is glorious, I love, love his tone and am so glad that he's getting over his attack of COVID Loving your reactions and the way you have fallen so far, so fast. The bromance with Tim seems to have developed into a bromance with them all now... I would recommend checking out some of their live stuff as well as their official videos. as you get a much better flavour of what they're really like as people, and it's all pretty amazing. Obviously the sound isn't as good with the live stuff but you get a flavour of how they put stuff over.
@@tarjaikola he's so good. I notice on concert clips that the bandanas are making an appearance even though his hair is still short and l admit that l was thinking the same. Thanks for clearing that up for me ☺️
Do “Blue Ain’t Your Color.” One of my many favorites from them. I’ve been enjoying watching your Home Free journey and I think you’d enjoy the song and their choreography.
New subscriber here. Not sure why I feel the need to say this, but I’ve literally LOL’d at your videos that I’ve watched so far. You crack me up, plus I’ll never get enough of Home Free. Keep up the good work!
With the beatboxing, I think they all have gotten some tips from Adam but I think some of it they already did. I mean, Tim doing the subwoofer bass makes sense. Austin also does some guitar sounds (Do You Hear What I Hear?) And during live performances, he does an Harmonica duet with Adam during Man of Constant Sorrow. Rob did the beatboxing in the Guilty Pleasures for Adam's song. When Chris and Adam started Home Free, Chris was going to do the beatboxing and Adam sing but Adam decided he was more interested in the beatboxing. And now with Chance, he mimics the jaw sharp sound in Man of Constant Sorrow and does a funky guitar sound in "Can't Stop The Feeling" And yes, I agree you need to do End of the Road to hear more of Rob. Then Some Girls Do to hear more of Chance. Then....you are ready to hear Mayday to be followed by My Maria from Austin and Tim. Don't do Mayday too soon. But you are almost there!
The members of Home Free take turns taking lead and they try to match the song to the singer. Rob does not take lead often, but it tends to be memorable when he does. You are not the first to joke that he's your spirit animal either. Sweet is probably the adjective most used for his tone. A few songs where Rob takes the lead. 'End Of The Road', 'Blue Ain't Your Color' and a song *they wrote* called 'Why Not'. I request 'Why Not' soon. Its one of my favorite songs from them and definitely one of my favorites that heavily feature Rob.
If you want more of Rob taking the lead...check out their original Catch Me If You Can! When you do the Sing Off....react to the individual videos with judges comments...they're the best ones! You should reach out to Adam and see if you could interview him! Austin and Tim have with reactors...so maybe Adam will too!
You need to do some Originals start off with Dive Bar Saints for Adam Chance lead follow that up with the second part of that song which is catch-me-if-you-can for a Rob lead infor good Austin Brown lead When a Man Loves a Woman will blow you away and Saucy you still haven't made that playlist for Home Free on your Channel
As you listen to more and more of HF you will come to realize you love everyone of their voices and together = incredible! Another terrific reaction, thank you.
Chris and Adam started in College in 2000 in 2008 Rob joined from another acappella group in 2012 they found Tim on line in they meet Austin on a cruise ship in 2013 and their high tenor left 2 months later so they called him and in 2016 Chris wanted to do his solo stuff so he actually said he wanted Chance to take his place in their christmas songs they showed it check out White Christmas they really Countryfy that old Bing Crosby Classic . What you said about superstars you need to check out Storytime With Tim Westboro Baptist Church
I love all these guys and my favourite HF member is the one who happens to be singing lead at that moment. They shine individually, but together they are magic.
Agree with the suggestions showing up here, especially “End of the Road “. Since you love the beatboxing, there is a hidden gem that you must see, as it has Rob singing a gospel lead, AND a fabulous beatbox breakdown. It is Home Free at the Hosanna concert in 2013 singing “Joy To the World “. It has a jazzy, ‘70’s R&B feel. I can’t get enough of it. Makes me love Rob even more. And we’re in the season now, sooo…
I don’t know if Adam taught any of them but Austin can also do a harmonica (he does it live when the sing Man of Constant Sorrow). Rob whistles beautifully in videos and does some beatboxing stuff on the video Man of Constant Sorrow. Chance does that mouth harp sound on Man of Constant Sorrow and Tim does bassy stuff! The live show I like is in St. Andrews Scotland in 2016 (by Kim Ball) as it’s filmed closer to them and the sound is really great. They do the beatboxing in that concert too. I just think it’s better quality. Good reaction SD!
There is absolutely a videos of The Sing Off hear on UA-cam. The five in this particular group had only been together for about a year before The Sing Off. They found Rob when the group he was in broke up. Tim they knew from social media and he sub with them for awhile, then joined. They found Austin on a cruise ship were he was a featured entertainer for the ship. He got to hang out with them and told them if you ever need someone to let him know. Not to long after that there high tenor left the group and they got ahold of him. As the saying goes And the Rest is History. Great reaction from you as usual.
Even though this isn't the greatest recording, you still get a feel of how talented these guys are. Love seeing all of them beatboxing. And Tim's bass is so low. Gives you an idea what it would be like to be there & hear it live. Now you have to take a look at their original video of this. It is a lot of fun.
These guys are very down to earth. When you start watching Austin's channel, you'll see he always ends his videos with a little speech. Well one of those is him thanking reactors by name. HF has really embraced the reality of reactors and the important role you play in introducing them to new audiences. All I expect is that the reactors at least subscribe to their homepage. Win for everyone and very entertaining for us.
You've gotta hear " End of the Road"!! Rob will blow your mind in that one. Also, "Take me Home Country Roads"...it is Infreakingcredible! I absolutely love you, by the way. Watching and listening to you react to Home Free is the best time I've ever had watching any reactor. Seriously...So cool. Every time I'm done watching one of your reactions, I'm watching for the next one. Thanks for making me love reactions again. Have a great day...you have made mine for sure!!😁
About 2000 Chris and Adam Rupp started Home Free and Rob was a bartender and joined them early along with Matt Elwood (I think?) and another I don’t recall. Tim was a substitute math teacher and joined them in 2012…also in 2012 the group was performing on a cruise ship where Austin was a staff performer doing musical theater pieces primarily and trying to get rid of his Georgia accent. When they got together they decided to be unique and became the first Country Vocal Band. They were on season 4 of The Sing-Off in December 2014 and won. (BTW, PTX won season 3.) Adam Chance (aka Chance) was on the show at the same time as Home Free, with a group called Street Corner Symphony, where he sang bass. He replaced Chris in 2016. Yes there are videos of each performance individually, plus having videos of info about them and the judges’ comments. A number of people have reacted to them. Good luck…don’t forget to react to the best Story Time With Tim is Watch Me Whip/Nae/Nae…you’ll love it-it’s Home Free!!
Now you know why they have such a rich sound..... They all add to the background sounds.... Tim is basically a bass guitar and other low sounds when not singing and Adam.....the whole percussion of a normal band.
Thanks! And others already gave you great suggestions. Mine is Woman, amen /Female. They all have solo parts in that one (except Adam, but bb is awesome, as always).
You can watch Chris Rupp's interview with Qofy reacts. He talks about details on how the band was formed, how the membership changed, why he left...all that stuff. Or you go just go through their Wikipedia page, which apparently was set up by Chris Rupp as well.
The five founding members were brothers Chris and Adam Rupp, Matt Atwood, Darren Scruggs, and Dan Lemke; taking their name from a boat owned by Atwood's grandfather who helped support the group financially in the early years.The group began in 2000 as a hobby for the singers, but they gradually gained in experience and popularity. By 2007 they had enough of a following to pursue music full-time. During this period, the Rupp brothers and Atwood formed the core of the group, with Atwood singing lead tenor. Other members of the group came and went. They competed in an A capella TV competition "Sing Off" 4th season and won big !!! They won the TV competition the year after Pentatonix !! Chance was also in the competion "The sing off" in the band streatcorner symphonies. Pentatonix won that competion the year before Home Free.
When you had asked about when the group got together, when doing the Sing Off, I left that info to you there. If you would like to check it out. (Yes I looked it up for dates on who was in the group and when they joined. :) Anyway glad you reacted to this song, I was shocked when I first saw all of them beatboxing. So much fun. Thanks for a great reaction. And yes...Blue Ain't Your Color...is so good suggested by srae1971.
Your reviews are so much fun. Home Free always delivers. Real people changing the lives of the rest of us with the gift of amazing music. There is a song about the band coming together as kids. YES they are SUPERSTARS to me
HF started way before the Sing Off. Created by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp. Austin joined shortly before the Sing Off. Chris was still part of the group during the Sing Off. The Sing Off really sparked their talent and creativity.
Chris, Adam, and Rob are from Minnesota. My understanding is that Chris and Adam studied music from Gustavius Adolphus, a private college in Mankato, MN (I live about 60 miles from there). The members met at various times but did not become successful (or had the national exposure) until they competed on the Sing-Off. Pentatonix are said to have mentored them for the show.
EVERY TIME we watch their videos over and over, we always see something different in them... Seen them live and will go every time we can.. Every concert is different and so much fun.. It's like sitting there with family.. Love our Home Free boy's !!! They have a video of " Joy To The World " They did it right after Austin joined and it is fantastic...Rob really shines...Rob also leads in these two originals " Dreamer " and " Cross That Bridge " .. off the Dive Bar Saints album..
SauceyDad theres a couple of Home Free history videos . They reminisce and tell the story of how the band has evolved. There's also videos of them preforming in the Sing Off and it's good. Watch the one showing the judges reactions
Would love to see the Sing-Off journey... the ones with the judges comments are all found in separate videos, I believe. There is also 1 long video of all of their performances, but no judges comments. Either way, would love to see you check them out!
As a British Home Fry - I never could really follow what Rob meant about deflating the footballs, so I'm sorry for bringing back the anguish, but I appreciate the explanation... It didn't mean I didn't love the performance, though and I'm glad you reacted to it, I thought it might be just your thing. As somebody else said in the comments, Adam grew his hair out for a couple of years, then donated it to a charity that makes wigs for children with cancer - apparently he'd done it once before, and is planning on doing it again at some point. As far as I can tell, they are not resting on their laurels, they'd love to have a number one country album and/or appear on the country award shows. But they'd rather do it in their own time and in their own way - they bought out their record contract and went independent a couple of years ago, they use UA-cam, Patreon and social media to connect with their fanbase, and all the evidence is that they genuinely love making music - they're not in the business of being famous for the sake of being famous.
Loved your facial expressions, no words needed! Would really, really love to see your reaction to Home Free's video with the late, great Kenny Rogers, "Children Go Where I Send Thee". Kenny approached Home Free to do this song specifically with him. It's amazing!! Thank you for the great reactions!
Chris Rupp started another a cappella group with their sister, Tristin. Check out their stuff too. And he started a group called Cypress Fyre. He has solo stuff posted too.
They have over 150 covers/originals plus Tim, chance, and Austin all have things on their own channels then Home Free has other things to watch and all the live shows you can watch. You won't get bored lol
Rob has taken the lead in a lot of songs! ! Check out their Dive Bar Saints album and listen to “catch me if you can”, “cross that bridge”, “Bless the Broken Road and others!! They started in Minnesota with Chris and Adam Matt Atwood and some others; Rob join, then Tim came originally from Texas, next Austin from Georgia) found cruise ship. After winning the singer Chris rep decided to leave home free and was replaced by Adam chance from Alabama!
Awesome reaction my friend❣️ Chris Rupp has a video on his channel called “History of Home Free”!! I knew something about how they got started, but was pleasantly surprised by how in-depth it was. You will REALLY enjoy that video ♥️
If you like Rob singing lead, catch him in HF's cover of "Blue Ain't Your Color". The guys break out some Motown/Temptations moves and Tim hits some impressive lows along the way.
Thanks for getting to this one. Was there a couple of live shows when they did this. The crowd goes nuts!!!! It's incredible on video, but live, whoa!!!
Rob takes the lead in several songs, most notably the Boyz II Men cover of "End Of The Road" ua-cam.com/video/-lCRFAFtj-A/v-deo.html. And he and Austin take turns singing lead in "Travelin' Soldier" ua-cam.com/video/lOAFXvtEWac/v-deo.html. If you watch enough Home Free Videos you'll see that all the guys get their chance to shine individually.
Pal, you want to hear their harmonies without beatboxing check out helplessly hoping. It is one of my favourites. Makes e cry all the time. So beautiful
I love that old movie. Great song too. I also had THAT kind of job for a very long time. Having the correct clothing for those jobs helps, but man so happy to get home to kick off my shoes, get into my shorts and tank top, here in the south it is still in the 80' or more close to bedtime. I like the new video of this song that they did, hilarious! And itty bits of it were pretty much accurate. LOL
You‘ve heard Tim beatbox before. He does it in the Butts remix when Adam does the scratchy stuff while Rob is rapping. Adam said that when he needs someone to fill in some vocal percussion in the live shows he goes to Rob or Tim. You‘ll also notice that during the little „battle“ sequence, Adam supplemented Austin and Chris but not Tim and Rob. I want to suggest you do Lil Red Riding Hood from the patreon party. You already saw a glimpse in the Tim subwoofer video and it is really good and really funny.
Isn't this mind blowing?!! Definitely a favorite. I'm having trouble getting to all you HF videos because they're all mixed in with all the others. Lol. So, if you haven't done helplessly hoping or crazy or blue ain't your color, I highly suggest them. 😉 🥰
As awesome as this live version is, you'll wanna check out the official version. It's a marvel of a vid and the sound is waaay better. No group beatboxing of course but well worth a watch. Btw, nice sauce. Oh and Rob is the only one wearing dad jeans. Ya gotta love that.
I imagine that Adam gave suggestions, if not lessons. You have watched Butts Remix…. There is a scene where Tim and Adam are together, and Tim is brushing his shoulder off. And another scene where Tim and Rob are together, and Rob is holding his hand up to defend himself. In both cases, In the first case, Adam is beatboxing, and Tim is getting splattered (spit on). The second one, Tim is beatboxing and spitting on Rob…. Tim sometimes fills in when Adam is doing something special, like the record scratch in Butts Remix.
Rob and Adam R. are Minnesota Vikings fans. (from Minnesota) Tim likes Dallas Cowboys (he's originally from Texas) and The Patriots also. Austin likes Atlanta Falcons (He's from Georgia) and Chance likes Miami Dolphins (he was born in Florida and raised in Alabama) Chris was "follicly challenged" like you on top when he was in Home Free, since being on his own he got something done so he can grow hair now and he has some on top.
Great reaction! Austin has given shout-outs to reactors after his personal video's and done interview's with reactors who have reached out to him and asked. Might have to go through their manager, not sure! Reactors that could give you answers are Brad Steel and Lyle of Patrol Gaming! Might be difficult now since they are touring again.
Yes don't know how Rob joined but they acquired Tim after their bass left due too medical reasons they added Austin while doing a show on a cruise ship where Austin was the house entertainment then when Adam Rupps brother left in 2016 they got Adam Chance
Hey bro peeps in our live stream where shouting you out! You got a new follower! Matt had a blast and you can hear all about it in our brothers in arms reaction! Much love from the 307! ❤️❤️❤️ keep grinding!
Hey man!! That’s awesome to hear bro thank you!! I’ll definitely check that out and hit you with a follow back!! Keep grinding we shall 💪💪🙌🙌
All 5 guys are beat boxers.
If you want to hear more of Rob taking lead I'd suggest End of the Road, Blue Ain't Your Color and One Man Band (everyone sings in this but Rob sounds amazing). Or Take Me Home Country Roads, which is an all time favorite for me.
Agree on all this, end of the road is a must
Yes to all that :)
And in that song, Take me home country roads, You can here Robs other super power... not his angelic voice or rap skills. 😜
Totally! Cross That Bridge and Catch Me If You Can are a couple others he leads on that I really like as well.
It is time. Time for Mayday, you've earned it.
This comment is gold!
I'm still pushing for their original "Dreamer" Rob takes the lead in that one as well. It's just a really special song IMO. Definitely worth a listen whenever you get to it.
April I swear we think the same 😂
Yes. As of right now Dreamer is my favorite of theirs.
Yes April. Definitely a yes for Dreamer! 🥰
Most definitely, End of The Road. Rob will make you proud! Blue Ain't Your Color is another one Rob takes lead. Its time for Mayday, too. You've earned it. Love your humor and your reactions, keep em coming.
Just wait until you hear Rob in End of the Road by Boyz to Men. I have watched women swoon when Rob does that one.
Rob is magical in Take me home Country roads. You’ll love it!
Home Free auditioned for the SingOff four times but didn't make the cut the first three times. Between their third and fourth audition they added Tim and a few months later Austin.

Yes, you need to listen to End of the Road if you like Rob's tone.
I agree! That's what I was going to suggest!
Honey I'm good is another one for rob leading
The reactors are "307 Reacts" from Wyoming. Great guys, lots of fun, full of knowledge. The reactor who went to the concert is Matt. Said he had unbelievable time with Adam and Chance ( see their review of Band of Brothers where hyped up Matt tells his tale). Think you'll enjoy.

Great reaction you should check out their cover of "The End Of The Road" Rob does an amazing job on this.

Oh, I’m with you about the footballs! By the way, their rendition of “Moonshine” is a favorite of mine. I seldom hear anyone mention it.
Rob’s voice is showcased in “End of the Road” “Dreamer” “Take me home country roads” plus the others that was previously posted
Did you check out End of the Road yet? Rob takes the lead there and CRUSHES

They found Austin on a cruise ship were he was a featured entertainer for the ship. He got to hang out with them and told them if you ever need someone to let him know. Not to long after that there high tenor left the group and they got ahold of him. As the saying goes And the Rest is History. Great reaction from you as usual.
Also love your reactions. They are honest, which is very much appreciated today.
Check out their cover of Blue ain’t your color
Even though this isn't the greatest recording, you still get a feel of how talented these guys are. Love seeing all of them beatboxing. And Tim's bass is so low. Gives you an idea what it would be like to be there & hear it live. Now you have to take a look at their original video of this. It is a lot of fun.
These guys are very down to earth. When you start watching Austin's channel, you'll see he always ends his videos with a little speech. Well one of those is him thanking reactors by name. HF has really embraced the reality of reactors and the important role you play in introducing them to new audiences. All I expect is that the reactors at least subscribe to their homepage. Win for everyone and very entertaining for us.
You can see the sing off😍
Austin was found singing on a cruise ship.
You've gotta hear " End of the Road"!! Rob will blow your mind in that one. Also, "Take me Home Country Roads"...it is Infreakingcredible! I absolutely love you, by the way. Watching and listening to you react to Home Free is the best time I've ever had watching any reactor. Seriously...So cool. Every time I'm done watching one of your reactions, I'm watching for the next one. Thanks for making me love reactions again. Have a great day...you have made mine for sure!!😁
About 2000 Chris and Adam Rupp started Home Free and Rob was a bartender and joined them early along with Matt Elwood (I think?) and another I don’t recall. Tim was a substitute math teacher and joined them in 2012…also in 2012 the group was performing on a cruise ship where Austin was a staff performer doing musical theater pieces primarily and trying to get rid of his Georgia accent. When they got together they decided to be unique and became the first Country Vocal Band. They were on season 4 of The Sing-Off in December 2014 and won. (BTW, PTX won season 3.) Adam Chance (aka Chance) was on the show at the same time as Home Free, with a group called Street Corner Symphony, where he sang bass. He replaced Chris in 2016. Yes there are videos of each performance individually, plus having videos of info about them and the judges’ comments. A number of people have reacted to them. Good luck…don’t forget to react to the best Story Time With Tim is Watch Me Whip/Nae/Nae…you’ll love it-it’s Home Free!!
You should check out their cover of auld lang sine and their original Snow Globe. They do a few Christmas songs
Oh yeah, if you want more Rob, try End of the Road and Blue Ain’t Your Color.
Now you know why they have such a rich sound..... They all add to the background sounds....
Tim is basically a bass guitar and other low sounds when not singing and Adam.....the whole percussion of a normal band.
Thanks! And others already gave you great suggestions. Mine is Woman, amen /Female. They all have solo parts in that one (except Adam, but bb is awesome, as always).
You can watch Chris Rupp's interview with Qofy reacts. He talks about details on how the band was formed, how the membership changed, why he left...all that stuff. Or you go just go through their Wikipedia page, which apparently was set up by Chris Rupp as well.
The five founding members were brothers Chris and Adam Rupp, Matt Atwood, Darren Scruggs, and Dan Lemke; taking their name from a boat owned by Atwood's grandfather who helped support the group financially in the early years.The group began in 2000 as a hobby for the singers, but they gradually gained in experience and popularity. By 2007 they had enough of a following to pursue music full-time. During this period, the Rupp brothers and Atwood formed the core of the group, with Atwood singing lead tenor. Other members of the group came and went.
They competed in an A capella TV competition "Sing Off" 4th season and won big !!! They won the TV competition the year after Pentatonix !!
Chance was also in the competion "The sing off" in the band streatcorner symphonies. Pentatonix won that competion the year before Home Free.
When you had asked about when the group got together, when doing the Sing Off, I left that info to you there. If you would like to check it out. (Yes I looked it up for dates on who was in the group and when they joined. :) Anyway glad you reacted to this song, I was shocked when I first saw all of them beatboxing. So much fun. Thanks for a great reaction. And yes...Blue Ain't Your Color...is so good suggested by srae1971.
Another one is Tim and Austin singing my maria💖👍
Your reviews are so much fun. Home Free always delivers. Real people changing the lives of the rest of us with the gift of amazing music. There is a song about the band coming together as kids. YES they are SUPERSTARS to me
End of the Road is a must for Rob fans. Thanks for the reaction!
HF started way before the Sing Off. Created by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp. Austin joined shortly before the Sing Off. Chris was still part of the group during the Sing Off. The Sing Off really sparked their talent and creativity.
I understand that Adam did coach the guys on beatboxing but all of them really picked it up and they have done it at various times in the live shows.
End of the Road for sheer musical mastery but please also check out Honey I'm Good for Home Free hijinks and another Tim Foust depth charge.
Chris, Adam, and Rob are from Minnesota. My understanding is that Chris and Adam studied music from Gustavius Adolphus, a private college in Mankato, MN (I live about 60 miles from there). The members met at various times but did not become successful (or had the national exposure) until they competed on the Sing-Off. Pentatonix are said to have mentored them for the show.
EVERY TIME we watch their videos over and over, we always see something different in them... Seen them live and will go every time we can.. Every concert is different and so much fun.. It's like sitting there with family.. Love our Home Free boy's !!! They have a video of " Joy To The World " They did it right after Austin joined and it is fantastic...Rob really shines...Rob also leads in these two originals " Dreamer " and " Cross That Bridge " .. off the Dive Bar Saints album..
To really hear Rob be the astounding singer he is listen to their live 2013 Hosanna Concert. His Joy to The World.....astounding....
SauceyDad theres a couple of Home Free history videos . They reminisce and tell the story of how the band has evolved. There's also videos of them preforming in the Sing Off and it's good. Watch the one showing the judges reactions
Would love to see the Sing-Off journey... the ones with the judges comments are all found in separate videos, I believe. There is also 1 long video of all of their performances, but no judges comments. Either way, would love to see you check them out!
I challenge you to find a bad Home Free song. Betcha can't! 😂😂😂😂 and excellent suggestion " One man band " great song!
Yes you can watch the sing off.
As a British Home Fry - I never could really follow what Rob meant about deflating the footballs, so I'm sorry for bringing back the anguish, but I appreciate the explanation... It didn't mean I didn't love the performance, though and I'm glad you reacted to it, I thought it might be just your thing. As somebody else said in the comments, Adam grew his hair out for a couple of years, then donated it to a charity that makes wigs for children with cancer - apparently he'd done it once before, and is planning on doing it again at some point.
As far as I can tell, they are not resting on their laurels, they'd love to have a number one country album and/or appear on the country award shows. But they'd rather do it in their own time and in their own way - they bought out their record contract and went independent a couple of years ago, they use UA-cam, Patreon and social media to connect with their fanbase, and all the evidence is that they genuinely love making music - they're not in the business of being famous for the sake of being famous.
In reference to you wondering about Chris's locks; he was experiencing hair loss. That's why he wears some type of hat in most videos.
Rob taking lead....OMG! End of the road is a MUST! Also never gonna give you up. Let's do 3 or 4 more, then we gotta do Mayday.
Mind blowing! 🤯🥰
Loved your facial expressions, no words needed! Would really, really love to see your reaction to Home Free's video with the late, great Kenny Rogers, "Children Go Where I Send Thee". Kenny approached Home Free to do this song specifically with him. It's amazing!! Thank you for the great reactions!
Chris Rupp started another a cappella group with their sister, Tristin. Check out their stuff too. And he started a group called Cypress Fyre. He has solo stuff posted too.
Loved your reaction. I just love this group.
They have over 150 covers/originals plus Tim, chance, and Austin all have things on their own channels then Home Free has other things to watch and all the live shows you can watch. You won't get bored lol
Rob has taken the lead in a lot of songs! ! Check out their Dive Bar Saints album and listen to “catch me if you can”, “cross that bridge”, “Bless the Broken Road and others!! They started in Minnesota with Chris and Adam Matt Atwood and some others; Rob join, then Tim came originally from Texas, next Austin from Georgia) found cruise ship. After winning the singer Chris rep decided to leave home free and was replaced by Adam chance from Alabama!
Holy COW!!! That beat boxing is off the CHARTS!!!
Love your videos.
Check out Do You Hear What I Hear. Beatboxer in front. First time I saw Austin beatbox. Adam did the arrangement. Insane.
Awesome reaction my friend❣️ Chris Rupp has a video on his channel called “History of Home Free”!! I knew something about how they got started, but was pleasantly surprised by how in-depth it was. You will REALLY enjoy that video ♥️
If you like Rob singing lead, catch him in HF's cover of "Blue Ain't Your Color". The guys break out some Motown/Temptations moves and Tim hits some impressive lows along the way.
Thanks for getting to this one. Was there a couple of live shows when they did this. The crowd goes nuts!!!! It's incredible on video, but live, whoa!!!
Austin was singing on a cruise ship, first time he heard Home Free. And decided he has to join the group
Rob takes the lead in several songs, most notably the Boyz II Men cover of "End Of The Road" ua-cam.com/video/-lCRFAFtj-A/v-deo.html. And he and Austin take turns singing lead in "Travelin' Soldier" ua-cam.com/video/lOAFXvtEWac/v-deo.html. If you watch enough Home Free Videos you'll see that all the guys get their chance to shine individually.
Pal, you want to hear their harmonies without beatboxing check out helplessly hoping. It is one of my favourites. Makes e cry all the time. So beautiful
I love that old movie. Great song too. I also had THAT kind of job for a very long time. Having the correct clothing for those jobs helps, but man so happy to get home to kick off my shoes, get into my shorts and tank top, here in the south it is still in the 80' or more close to bedtime. I like the new video of this song that they did, hilarious! And itty bits of it were pretty much accurate. LOL
You‘ve heard Tim beatbox before. He does it in the Butts remix when Adam does the scratchy stuff while Rob is rapping. Adam said that when he needs someone to fill in some vocal percussion in the live shows he goes to Rob or Tim. You‘ll also notice that during the little „battle“ sequence, Adam supplemented Austin and Chris but not Tim and Rob.
I want to suggest you do Lil Red Riding Hood from the patreon party. You already saw a glimpse in the Tim subwoofer video and it is really good and really funny.
Love it💖💖💖💖
They had several different lineups before the signoff. The band started in 2000, and the sing-off was in 2014.
THE SING OFF

There are even videos of the opening numbers for each episode. The producers liked what the saw and gave Tim, Austin and Rob leads for each show.
So glad you checked this one out🍟🍟🔥🔥🌹🌹🌹
Isn't this mind blowing?!! Definitely a favorite. I'm having trouble getting to all you HF videos because they're all mixed in with all the others. Lol. So, if you haven't done helplessly hoping or crazy or blue ain't your color, I highly suggest them. 😉 🥰
One of my personal favorites: "How great thou art" is worth checking out
As awesome as this live version is, you'll wanna check out the official version. It's a marvel of a vid and the sound is waaay better. No group beatboxing of course but well worth a watch. Btw, nice sauce. Oh and Rob is the only one wearing dad jeans. Ya gotta love that.
Great reaction! For R&B, take you to church, Rob, try End of the Road. The sing off videos are worth the watch!
Another great 'Rob' song is Never Gonna Give You Up! He kills it.
I recommend little red riding hood from home free
There are the videos with each competition and others have reacted to it. It includes interviews and backstage preparations-very entertaining!
I imagine that Adam gave suggestions, if not lessons. You have watched Butts Remix…. There is a scene where Tim and Adam are together, and Tim is brushing his shoulder off. And another scene where Tim and Rob are together, and Rob is holding his hand up to defend himself. In both cases, In the first case, Adam is beatboxing, and Tim is getting splattered (spit on). The second one, Tim is beatboxing and spitting on Rob…. Tim sometimes fills in when Adam is doing something special, like the record scratch in Butts Remix.
Another cover upgrade from the Wondermen.
Check out the video of Tom Foust....Southerner in the Snow, it's funny
Rob and Adam R. are Minnesota Vikings fans. (from Minnesota) Tim likes Dallas Cowboys (he's originally from Texas) and The Patriots also. Austin likes Atlanta Falcons (He's from Georgia) and Chance likes Miami Dolphins (he was born in Florida and raised in Alabama) Chris was "follicly challenged" like you on top when he was in Home Free, since being on his own he got something done so he can grow hair now and he has some on top.
Great reaction! Austin has given shout-outs to reactors after his personal video's and done interview's with reactors who have reached out to him and asked. Might have to go through their manager, not sure! Reactors that could give you answers are Brad Steel and Lyle of Patrol Gaming! Might be difficult now since they are touring again.
Yes don't know how Rob joined but they acquired Tim after their bass left due too medical reasons they added Austin while doing a show on a cruise ship where Austin was the house entertainment then when Adam Rupps brother left in 2016 they got Adam Chance
Like you love me some Rob!! Greatest voice-- clear, warm,sexy growl.
