let me suggest you to react to Ronnie James Dio voice in Stargazer by Rainbow.....in my (and many others) opinion the best male metal/hard rock singer ever
I heard that Adam, the beat boxer, did a lot of lip-strengthening exercises while studying trumpet, and this led to him becoming a sound effects maestro.
did you really hit an A0 in Home free Sold cover? so if you dont why you are saying you have 5 octaves range in Matt Fouch ropartage with Tim Foust your range will be B0-A5 if you dont hit any A0
If you react to more Home Free, their very large and loyal group of fans (Home Fries) will flock to your channel. Your number of subscribers will go up quickly. Enjoy your trip down the rabbit hole. Ring Of Fire and Folsom Prison Blues should be next for you.
You must be new to Home Free. That's OK. You'll become a "Home fry" soon enough. Where Tim is singing (Tim Foust - bass) is right at his normal speaking voice. He is not pushing to reach any of these notes. His range is 5 octaves - A0 to A5. He can sing bass on one song and tenor on the next.
Tim Foust is amazing - Part of the holy trinity of Tim, Avi Kaplan and Geoff Castelucci. When you listen back, after Tim's solo, the bass drops FURTHER for the coming together - Chills, Literal chills!
Welcome to Home Free rabbit hole from all of us Home Fries. Here is some songs you might want to check out by them How Great Thou Art, End of the Road, Ring of Fire, Flowers on the Wall, Elvira, Try Everything, Mayday. This is only a few, there is so many songs and none of them will let you down. Home Free is a group of great guys that are down to earth.
I recommend you wait on Mayday until you fully understand who each man is and what they sing. I would also recommend listening to Home Free's Hillbilly Bone, Butts Remix, All About that Bass and their Sea Shanty Medley.
Austin (the first one singing) has the voice of an Angel and the appeal of a precocious little boy. He can literally melt hearts with his voice. Rob (the bearded Tenor) has a voice that slides over you like silk, yet wraps you in warmth like a favorite blanket on a cold winter's day. Adam Chance (known as Chance) is the one who was doing the mouth harp sounds. He also has an amazing voice, and you will love hearing him come to the lead in songs, as well. Tim, the bass you were hearing -- you haven't heard anything yet. He's literally blown sub-woofers in concert, with as deep as he can go. Listen to Ring of Fire (with and without Avi Kaplan joining them), or Misty Mountain for just a couple of songs regarding his depth (believe me, there's more). Adam Rupp (who founded the group with his brother Chris) is called the 'Freak of Nature's. The man àctually does drum solos -- and dj mixes -- with nothing but his voice. As well as cymbals, castanets, harmonica, and who knows what else. On top of that, HE can sing as well. I have yet to find a song they've done that I didn't care for. They do songs from multiple genres. They do Covers, tributes, collaborations with original artists, and they do original songs as well. They do songs that will have you laughing so hard you're almost crying, songs that will cause tears to well up simply because of the sheer beauty and purity of their voices in it, and songs that will have the tears leaking down your cheeks because your emotional heart strings are being played so skillfully. This group is truly like no other. Looking forward to more of your reactions to them. However, do NOT do Mayday until after you've done MULTIPLE reactions to them, until you are very familiar with who they are, and have learned their voices well enough to identify them without watching the video to see who's singing. If you do that, I promise you will experience the very same shocking, jaw dropping moments in the song that us Home Fries got the first time WE watched and heard it. Welcome to the world of the Home Fries, journey down the rabbit hole with us. You'll soon discover why SO many Reactors have joined the Home Fries family.
Awww it's so cute...she thinks Tim is near a vocal fry..... she doesn't realize he can go WAYYYYY lower 😏😏😏.... he has a 5+ octave range and can go well deeper than he goes in this song with ease but can go up into tenor also
I agree. I'm always amazed how so many "vocal coaches" say he's going into a fry but then ignore the immediate drop in octave when they all come together right after. How can people miss that so easily?
Nothing on earth, is as pure and wonderful as a voice, a whisper, a whistle, a tone pure in harmony..... Love these boys. AND you too, dear lady, thanks for havin fun with us this way.
Welcome to the inevitable influx of the Home Fries, the massive fan base of Home Free. You'll learn as you journey through their large UA-cam catalog of covers and originals, they are very versatile, each are able to do multiple roles within the group. Suggestions : How Great Thou Art, Can't stop the feeling, Do you hear what I hear, Down to the Honkey Tonk, American Pie, Fulsom Prison Blues .. There's not a bad song in there.. Once you have listened to a few, know their names, then you'll be ready for 'Mayday'.. that will make sense when you hear it 😁 Enjoy the adventure..
@@steveeverett1736 I like all of Home Free's stuff, and End of the Road is good, but for me it's just a good cover, doesn't reach my 'must see/hear' tracks. Maybe because I've seen/heard it so many times .. worth a listen, but I'd choose others ..
The singer with the hat is Austin Brown, trained musically, Southern Gospel and music theory in college. INCREDIBLE talent. Listen to When a Man Loves Women - he has the lead. Tim Foust is the bass singer. he ALSO can sing tenor.
Really added their music when Adam Chance joined, with the ability to cover normal bass notes while Tim sings a melody. Can't hit the sub-woofer range, but Adam keeps the music in balance when Tim is laying some melody out there. Plus on this song, Adam Chance is providing the Jew's Harp (mouth harp if you prefer) at the beginning and end.
Out of all of the reactions that I've watched for this song, my favorites are when they hear Tim Foust do the bass part of the song. Their facial reactions are priceless.
They do a cover of "End Of The Road" that's pretty cool too. But now that you have heard Tim Foust (bass singer) you might want to consider checking out "Misty Mountain" by Peter Hollens and Tim. It is just the two of them and many many layers of harmonies that fills the soul. Lots of reactors have done videos on the song, so if you don't want to do it, please check it out off camera, it's worth it.
Geoff Castelucci (the bass singer from Voiceplay) just released his own layered cover of the Misty Mountains also. I think I still prefer Peter and Tim's version, but it might be interesting to see a compare/contrast type of reaction too. :)
Jennifer I'm not sure that there is another group out there just like Home Free. There are some similar like Pentatonix and Voice Play and a few others (and I love all these other groups as well). But, these guys are just a little on the special side for some of us music nerds. They have an extensive catalog to choose from "Ring of Fire" featuring Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix with Home Free's bass singer providing that last LOW, LOW note, to Tim Foust the bass singer doing "Misty Mountains" with the amazing Peter Hollens, to Home Free being featured on Peter Hollens video of the U2 classic, "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" (plus a 350 member virtual choir of Patrons), to other covers, to originals, to Christmas music. Plus they do classic songs with the original artist such as The Oak Ridge Boys and Don McLean. If you like A Cappella music then this is a rabbit hole you will love falling into.
Love your reactions Jennifer! Home Free are awesome. Austin Brown's lead tenor (with the hat). Rob Lundquist's tenor, Adam Chance is their Baritone, Time Foust is their Bass and Adam Rupp is their Beat Boxer and all around sound effects machine. If you'd really like to hear more of Tim's bass versatility react to Peter Hollen's cover of Misty Mountain featuring Tim Foust. It too is all a Capella. You'll also get to hear Peter who is also an exceptional singer with a crazy range and approaches a Capella music a bit differently, often making extensive use of multi-tracking.
Love this! ❤️ I hadn’t heard of them or their version of the song before either. Such a cool arrangement, and I adore their country vocals - so many cool little mini runs/riffs/inflictions.
Jennifer I'm a new sub. My hopes are you continue to react & analyze them & their music. Home Free is known for the quality of the videos as Well as their harmonies. I'll ask and hopefully you'll read this....PLEasE react to their cover of Helplessly Hoping...please wear headphones/ear buds so you can hear the fullness of their sound...Helpless Hoping has no beatboxing but the best 5 part harmony you'll ever hear...your ears will love you for it :)
Yep, Adam Chance (baritone, mostly. Dark vest) was using harmonic overtone singing to make the jaw harp sound. Adam Rupp did all the drums and the harmonica sound, but they have done harmonica duets on tour. He also did the record crackle at the beginning. Austin Brown is the high tenor in the brown vest. Rob Lundquist is the more forward voiced tenor. Tim Foust is the excellent bass. The alligator was in charge of chilling. Not officially a member of the group, but no one argues with the alligator.
They like to have fun with their songs. One which is a pretty big production is "Butts remix". It's a mashup of several songs referring to butts and includes a lot of their friends, wives and girlfriends. Others that work well for them is "How great thou art", "In the blood", "Helplessly Hoping", "Folsom prison blues", and "Ring of Fire" featuring Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix. Knock those out and we will suggest more.
It's fun to look at your original Home Free reactions!!! You now know so much about their serious side, but especially their fun side!!! Love your reactions to Home Free!!!
thank you miss Jennifer for a lovely reaction. I always like to hear Voice Coaches react because I always learn something new. Homefree is an awesome group, and they are one of my top 3, along with Pentatonix, and VoicePlay. Most of the time, I am still in awe of what they do when I listen to reactions. Keep up the good work.
Jennifer. The 2 who didn't really take part in the delivery of a section of the lead were Adam Rupp (who was the beatboxer and harmonica soloist. Along with a few other sounds). The other is Adam Chance (brown hat and dark vest). He frequently does take a bigger role, but was the one doing the twangy mouth harp sound effect. He was the bass in his last group and is actually classified as a bass/baritone I believe. All 5 have real strong vocal ability, and several can beatbox (of course not quite like Adam), and in live shows Austin (first tenor lead we heard) joins Adam in the harmonica playing as well. Adam Chance goes by Chance to avoid some confusion. Chance was a later addition to the group. Adam Rupp's brother Chris started the band and later decided to pursue a solo career and recommended Chance as his replacement. You will see Chris in some of the videos. Their cover of Ring of Fire for example. Oh and joining them on that one is Avi formerly of Pentatonix. According to several reactors the very last note of that video is delivered by Tim (home free base) and is a G1! I would suggest that vid and How Great Thou Art as 2 to look into. Enjoy!!
After your Home Free week, I came looking back for where you first 'met' them. This video of theirs was my first experience of them, too. I watched at least two more right after ;~)
Great group! The high baritone to tenor harmonies are approaching angelic! When the middle baritone comes in in the center of the piece it is perfect to balance the high tenor of the intro and outro.
This is pure American Bluegrass music. The song was originally written in 1904. It's was popularized in the early 1960's by Bob Dylan covered many times.
These guys are a total joy!!! Talent just oozes …. &, they can sing just about any genre of music out there !!! There’s something for everyone 🙃🇺🇸‼️. Hope you do more of these wonderfully great singers & beat Boxer A#1+ (aka …A Freak of Nature..lol). Oh, Tim Foust, the Awesome bass…talks bass too…lol. He’s also got a5+ Octave.
11:55 They take turns singing lead and/or doing solos. They'll heavily feature certain members for a few videos then switch. In this one Chance didn't do a solo, but he was doing all those background noises. (not the beat boxing, the didgeridoo and mouth harp noises). The other one that didn't do a solo was Adam Rupp, the beat boxer. He's...oddly shy about regular singing. He vary rarely sings normally and almost always in the background. He sings a solo in some of their live shows in a skit they do called 'guilty pleasures' that I recommend reacting to. (He sings in Korean) You not only get to hear them individually, but its also really funny.
08:46 Same big MISTAKE as almost anyone else reacting: Pausing here robs you of experiencing Tim dropping another octave. This leads to overlooking his astounding capabilities. And sadly, so you did . . .
@@joannecamacho8156 Nope. not Adam. Adam is a baritone.That IS Tim dropping a full octive into the harmony. JUust cause it's Adam in the camera shot does not mean it's him singing. They are ALL singing the same words in the harmony.
Tim Foust-the BASSSSS,and that is not low(for Tim).Yes,they are country oriented,but they doing also some other cover's.People usualy start with this,or "Ring of fire"-by Johny Cash.So,the next can be "Ring of fire"..and then.....How great thou art,Helplessly hoping(pure acapella,no beatboxing),Go rest high on that mountain,Seven bridges road,Mayday,Never gonna give you up,Still never found what i'm looking for,Folsom prison blues.....and and and...
Ring of Fire definitely! You'll get the country vibes there too and you'll get more exposure to Tim Foust's range. Plus Avi Kaplan former bass of Pentatonix is a guest for that song so you have TWO bass singers to listen to.
Just so you know, I live in the southern USA and the scenery is what I see around me whenever I go out of the city. I love Home Free, and hope you become a Home Fry like me. I have seen alligators on the river banks, and even in the city, I get opossums coming around my house.
They have 2 bass guys. The one you focused on, Tim, has a 5 octave voice. Check out Folsum Prison Blues for a little more depth. Check out Mayday for his tenor voice. The other bass, Chance, the one who opens the song with throat singing, usually sings baritone, but can also sing tenor. Check out their version of Some Girls Do for a sample of his solo voice. They all take turns with lead vocals. The one who used growl technique, Austin, can reach amazing high tenor levels. Check out Can't Stop the Feeling. Robb the other tenor is the king of smooth for the group. Check out End of the Road for some variation from him. The beat boxer is also the harmonica imitator, his name is Adam Rupp, and he does a drum solo with his mouth in their concerts. You can find that on youtube. Have fun!!
Welcome to the world of Homefree You will not be displeased with any of their music. They are Amazing! Starting singer is Austin high Tenor. Bearded guy is Rob tenor, Low bass with a crazy range is Tim Foust like a 6 octave or so range, on the beatboxing Adam Rupp a national champion beatboxer and the barritone is Adam Change the guy that was doing the throat singing. Definitely check out more of their stuff you will love them and become one of us homefries!
As you continue to listen to them, you will be amazed at their versatility. You really have no clue what you are getting in to, but you definitely will enjoy the journey!
Nice reaction! They sing very connected to each other indeed. Great singers! and Tim (the bass) can go REALLY deep I'm sure you'll adore their recent "Travelin Soldier", or one of their first ones "Ring of Fire" See you in the next one
Adam Rupp has a UA-cam video out on how he makes the harmonica sound. Still flabbergasts me. This song is and old Bluegrass song that was used in the George Clooney movie. They really get into this song which makes it so much fun.
After your “Home Free” week, I’ve been meaning to find time to go back and find your first time hearing them. Fun to rewatch your initial reaction. About Austin: “oh he loves a growl!” and Tim: “who is on that bass note!?” What a journey you’ve had and there’s still much you haven’t seen yet! Side note, this is a very old folk song (1913), but if you’ve never watched “O Brother Where Art Thou?”, a Coen brothers film set in rural Mississippi during the Great Depression, you should check it out. This song is prominent in this satirical story based loosely on Homer's poem the Odyssey.
Home Free is the real deal. I just discovered them during the pandemic and fell in love. They won the NBC show the SIng Off in 2013 the year after Pentatonix won. They are 4 vocalists plus an amazing beatboxer, Adam. Adam can sing and has a nice tenor voice but prefers to be the beatboxer and he’s amazing doing the drums, harmonica and all manner of sounds. Tim Foust, the bass, has an amazing 5 octave range and can sing amazingly. Two are from Minnesota and the other 3 are from the south. This was filmed in S. Alabama and that was a real gator. Home Free has amazing harmonies and also loves to be silly while sounding good. They sing a lot of covers but also write and sing their own stuff. Loved your reaction. I hope you’ll listen to more of them. Try Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art, Seven Bridges Road.
This group will surprise you. Austin (in front/High tenor) is classically trained, and can hit some high notes most women can't hit. Rob (beard left/tenor) has a sweet, easy voice with big range. Tim (front right/long hair/bass) is very well known as one of the best bass singers in the world, and has a 5+ octave range. Chance (Adam Chance/back right/baritone) sang bass for another acapella group before this, and covers bass when Tim goes higher. He is also the one making the "harp" sound in the beginning and end. Adam (Adam Rupp/back left/beatboxer) is one of the best beatboxers in the world, and has won many awards. He can sound like and entire band all by himself. I, personally, have never heard any better acapella group, or any group, for that matter, better than them. This includes PTX and Voiceplay. But, all three groups help each other out with music, arrangements, and writing songs.
As you mentioned you like a cappella groups, please give Voice Play a reaction. I'd recommend Oogie Boogie's Song as it shows a LOT of different vocal techniques in one shot. You'll also be introduced to the vocal wonder that is Geoff Castellucci as Oogie Boogie. His solo cover of 16 tons is also great.
Just discovered your channel and thoroughly enjoyed your in depth analysis of this amazing performance. Have you ever analyzed the spectacular voice of Linda Ronstadt? If you haven’t, I think you would enjoy listening to the most beautiful female voice on the planet. I am your newest subscriber. 🌺✌️
First one listener, but a huge Home Free fan ( Home Fry). You have opened a Pandora’s Box to Home Free. I’ll subscribe for more because this isn’t close to their best. They lean country, but are equally comfortable in other genres. My personal favorites are “In The Blood”, and “Helplessly Hoping” or “Seven Bridges Road”. There are no bad choices.
New viewer here and excited to hear a reactors first listen to Home Free !!!! Lookin forward to more analysis and reactions to Home Free. They have a huge catalogue of songs for everyone, would love a reaction to 'How Great Thou Art" from Home Free or maybe "When A Man Loves a Woman". Thanks
If the a capella genre is your thing, also try out the group Voctave (Disney Princess Medley and everything else they do...). You will truly never hear anything quite like it! Also, Voiceplay is another group that is awesome! And more Home Free!!!! Great reaction.
Loved your reaction and glad you’re checking out Home Free! Might I suggest “American Pie” feat Don McLean, “End of the Road”, “Take Me Home, Country Roads”, “Folsom Prison Blues”, or my favorite “My Church” next. For a song featuring 5-part harmonies from them, check out “Helplessly Hoping”.
Some of my favorite songs by Home Free: End of the Road Folsom Prison Blues Ring of Fire Mayday (after you get used to Tim's bass) Thinking About You/Let's Get It On The Butts Remix All About That Bass Champagne Taste They have a lot of fun with their videos.
They are masters at utilizing their gifts. Adam Rupp has the harmonica sound down! Austin, lead tenor, is a southern man. Hear him speak, and you have no doubts. He let his drawl come through for this song. Rob, 2nd tenor, is a northern man. He and Austin have lovely tenor voices. Adam Chance, gentleman in the back, singing ooo-ooo, is a baritone/bass. He sings bass often, but not in this song. Tim sings bass here. He has a very rich resonance to his voice. Rich and clear. This group of men have a great sense of humor, and express it often in their videos. That said, they are all business. Investigate further down the rabbit hole that is Home Free Vocal Band. You won't be disappointed. Start anywhere. They have a plethora of music to choose from. Mindy
Great song and performance, and it’s always fun to watch someone encountering Tim Foust’s bass for the first time, especially ladies. He has a 5-octave range, so you won’t always hear that gorgeous deep tone.
Still baffled at the fact that the harmonica sound is being made entirely by hands! WOW!
and mouth :)
@Kevin Clements oh yeah... 😂😂
let me suggest you to react to Ronnie James Dio voice in Stargazer by Rainbow.....in my (and many others) opinion the best male metal/hard rock singer ever
I heard that Adam, the beat boxer, did a lot of lip-strengthening exercises while studying trumpet, and this led to him becoming a sound effects maestro.
@@davidculp6266 very possible. I played trumpet in school and can see that
Thanks for the love
did you really hit an A0 in Home free Sold cover?
so if you dont why you are saying you have 5 octaves range in Matt Fouch ropartage with Tim Foust your range will be B0-A5 if you dont hit any A0
You're a legend. I'm a straight dude, and your voice makes me want to drop my pants.

Was looking for this comment. Just after his solo, he drops to an A1
@hibob4453 Much lower than A1, my friend. It's more like an F1
I was surprised that she missed it completely. Most of the vocal coach reactors catch it immediately.
Welcome to Home Free rabbit hole from all of us Home Fries.

The Home Free guys are really humble and talented people in their craft of a capella! Welcome to the home free rabbit hole, enjoy the ride.
Filmed in Alabama, probably their most southern country song.
Welcome to the inevitable influx of the Home Fries, the massive fan base of Home Free.
You'll learn as you journey through their large UA-cam catalog of covers and originals, they are very versatile, each are able to do multiple roles within the group.
Suggestions : How Great Thou Art, Can't stop the feeling, Do you hear what I hear, Down to the Honkey Tonk, American Pie, Fulsom Prison Blues .. There's not a bad song in there..
Once you have listened to a few, know their names, then you'll be ready for 'Mayday'.. that will make sense when you hear it 😁

They also have a strong cover for 'End of the Road', which is a bit more recent. Yes, they do have a rather 'country' sound but they are so versatile

Definitely wait until you think you know them before you get to Mayday.
we, the home fries, will let you know when you're ready for Mayday, until then stick to the rest of their catalog
Foust's range extends from A0-A5, so his chest voice goes lower than most people's vocal fry.
he dont hit any A0 he says himself that his lowest note is B0 in fisihng in the dark watch to dan mirabals video about this
The singer with the hat is Austin Brown, trained musically, Southern Gospel and music theory in college. INCREDIBLE talent. Listen to When a Man Loves Women - he has the lead. Tim Foust is the bass singer. he ALSO can sing tenor.

@@JenniferGlatzhofer I second the "Misty Mountains" by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust suggestion, it is really awesome!
Misty mountains is a master class! Please?
I would also recommend Peter Hollins and Home Free singing Amazing Grace!!

Lovely, thank you for all of this!! 😊
If you start doing more Home Free, Home Frys will come to see your reactions
Also the spread in voices from different regions.
Jim Rentz, actually, in Ring of Fire, Tim Foust hit the final low not, not Avi Kaplan.
@@GopherBaroque61 if you read what I wrote again you will see that I said that the final low, low note was provided by Home Free's bass singer.

Great arrangement! Give me country any day of the week ahaha 🙌🏼
Their version of How Great Thou Art is probably the best I've heard.
@@ryancampbell87 ABSOLUTLEY.
While their foundation is country....I love the fact that you can't keep them in a box
Jennifer I'm a new sub. My hopes are you continue to react & analyze them & their music. Home Free is known for the quality of the videos as Well as their harmonies. I'll ask and hopefully you'll read this....PLEasE react to their cover of Helplessly Hoping...please wear headphones/ear buds so you can hear the fullness of their sound...Helpless Hoping has no beatboxing but the best 5 part harmony you'll ever hear...your ears will love you for it :)
Agree with you there, about Helplessly Hoping, but their new song Brothers In Arms is just as beautiful! Made me emotional too.
@@jessicacifelli5496 yes I like that one I can't wait for the video to come out ...it's going to be amazing ! Tim really shows off !!
HI 👋, I PLAY DRUMS AND GUITAR & SING ALTO HARMONIZE!!!!
You won't be disappointed by any of their covers. Seven Bridges Road is one of my favorites.
Yep, Adam Chance (baritone, mostly. Dark vest) was using harmonic overtone singing to make the jaw harp sound.
Adam Rupp did all the drums and the harmonica sound, but they have done harmonica duets on tour. He also did the record crackle at the beginning.
Austin Brown is the high tenor in the brown vest.
Rob Lundquist is the more forward voiced tenor.
Tim Foust is the excellent bass.
The alligator was in charge of chilling. Not officially a member of the group, but no one argues with the alligator.
Great reaction/review. Can't wait for you discover more of HomeFree.
Thank you! 😊
This song is just the beginning. It gets way better.
They like to have fun with their songs. One which is a pretty big production is "Butts remix". It's a mashup of several songs referring to butts and includes a lot of their friends, wives and girlfriends. Others that work well for them is "How great thou art", "In the blood", "Helplessly Hoping", "Folsom prison blues", and "Ring of Fire" featuring Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix. Knock those out and we will suggest more.
Definitely a guilty pleasure of mine is watching reactions to Tim Foust.
It's fun to look at your original Home Free reactions!!! You now know so much about their serious side, but especially their fun side!!! Love your reactions to Home Free!!!
That might be the best "Tim Face" (the insanely low bass) reaction I've seen. Great reaction, and welcome to this phenomenal group!!
😂😂 thank you!
Great reaction Jennifer. I’m glad you reacted to home free. Hugs.
So great!! 😊
your reaction is ever-changing....I am happy..^^ thanks.. Jennifer ^^
Coach i lived your reaction so much i gave you an A+ and i subbed .
The first singer is Austin Brown. He’s trained in musical theatre-got a degree in college
Ring of fire have Avi Kaplan with Home Free... Bass to the extreme...
Ooh great!
Excellent suggestion!
I really appreciate your commentary I have learned alot more about the macanics of music. I wish I could sing and spell
thank you miss Jennifer for a lovely reaction. I always like to hear Voice Coaches react because I always learn something new. Homefree is an awesome group, and they are one of my top 3, along with Pentatonix, and VoicePlay. Most of the time, I am still in awe of what they do when I listen to reactions. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Hi.. I'm a metal guitarist from Michigan and I appreciate all real talent! Especially yours!!
Keep doing a great job!!!!
Jennifer. The 2 who didn't really take part in the delivery of a section of the lead were Adam Rupp (who was the beatboxer and harmonica soloist. Along with a few other sounds). The other is Adam Chance (brown hat and dark vest). He frequently does take a bigger role, but was the one doing the twangy mouth harp sound effect. He was the bass in his last group and is actually classified as a bass/baritone I believe. All 5 have real strong vocal ability, and several can beatbox (of course not quite like Adam), and in live shows Austin (first tenor lead we heard) joins Adam in the harmonica playing as well. Adam Chance goes by Chance to avoid some confusion. Chance was a later addition to the group. Adam Rupp's brother Chris started the band and later decided to pursue a solo career and recommended Chance as his replacement. You will see Chris in some of the videos. Their cover of Ring of Fire for example. Oh and joining them on that one is Avi formerly of Pentatonix. According to several reactors the very last note of that video is delivered by Tim (home free base) and is a G1! I would suggest that vid and How Great Thou Art as 2 to look into. Enjoy!!
Welcome to Home Free, never ending rabbit hole.
A one of a kind that covers ALL music genras. Sober to Hilarious.
Love, love Home Free!! Please analyze more of their music! 💗
I loved your reaction to one of my favourite groups out there, and really surprized that a month has passed, and you haven't done another of theirs :)
More will come 😊
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole.
After your Home Free week, I came looking back for where you first 'met' them. This video of theirs was my first experience of them, too. I watched at least two more right after ;~)
Great group! The high baritone to tenor harmonies are approaching angelic!
When the middle baritone comes in in the center of the piece it is perfect to balance the high tenor of the intro and outro.
This is pure American Bluegrass music. The song was originally written in 1904. It's was popularized in the early 1960's by Bob Dylan covered many times.
These guys are a total joy!!! Talent just oozes …. &, they can sing just about any genre of music out there !!! There’s something for everyone 🙃🇺🇸‼️. Hope you do more of these wonderfully great singers & beat Boxer A#1+ (aka …A Freak of Nature..lol). Oh, Tim Foust, the Awesome bass…talks bass too…lol. He’s also got a5+ Octave.
Home Free is awesome!!! Need to listen to all their music! Every song is fantastic❤️
I can’t wait to listen to all their songs! Want to react to a few more though so have to wait 😊
11:55 They take turns singing lead and/or doing solos. They'll heavily feature certain members for a few videos then switch. In this one Chance didn't do a solo, but he was doing all those background noises. (not the beat boxing, the didgeridoo and mouth harp noises). The other one that didn't do a solo was Adam Rupp, the beat boxer. He's...oddly shy about regular singing. He vary rarely sings normally and almost always in the background. He sings a solo in some of their live shows in a skit they do called 'guilty pleasures' that I recommend reacting to. (He sings in Korean) You not only get to hear them individually, but its also really funny.
Ah great - thank you!!
08:46 Same big MISTAKE as almost anyone else reacting: Pausing here robs you of experiencing Tim dropping another octave.
This leads to overlooking his astounding capabilities. And sadly, so you did . . .
It's not Tim that does this you are mistaken. That was Adam Chance that dropped down.
@@joannecamacho8156 Nope. not Adam. Adam is a baritone.That IS Tim dropping a full octive into the harmony. JUust cause it's Adam in the camera shot does not mean it's him singing. They are ALL singing the same words in the harmony.
Tim Foust-the BASSSSS,and that is not low(for Tim).Yes,they are country oriented,but they doing also some other cover's.People usualy start with this,or "Ring of fire"-by Johny Cash.So,the next can be "Ring of fire"..and then.....How great thou art,Helplessly hoping(pure acapella,no beatboxing),Go rest high on that mountain,Seven bridges road,Mayday,Never gonna give you up,Still never found what i'm looking for,Folsom prison blues.....and and and...
Thanks! 😊
Ring of Fire definitely! You'll get the country vibes there too and you'll get more exposure to Tim Foust's range. Plus Avi Kaplan former bass of Pentatonix is a guest for that song so you have TWO bass singers to listen to.
Listen to Tim immediately following his solo here.
Just so you know, I live in the southern USA and the scenery is what I see around me whenever I go out of the city. I love Home Free, and hope you become a Home Fry like me. I have seen alligators on the river banks, and even in the city, I get opossums coming around my house.
They have 2 bass guys. The one you focused on, Tim, has a 5 octave voice. Check out Folsum Prison Blues for a little more depth. Check out Mayday for his tenor voice. The other bass, Chance, the one who opens the song with throat singing, usually sings baritone, but can also sing tenor. Check out their version of Some Girls Do for a sample of his solo voice. They all take turns with lead vocals. The one who used growl technique, Austin, can reach amazing high tenor levels. Check out Can't Stop the Feeling. Robb the other tenor is the king of smooth for the group. Check out End of the Road for some variation from him. The beat boxer is also the harmonica imitator, his name is Adam Rupp, and he does a drum solo with his mouth in their concerts. You can find that on youtube. Have fun!!
Every single woman i have seen react to this gets that same look when that low bass verse comes in
They have covered a lot you’ll enjoy. I believe this was filmed in Alabama. Great setting.
LOVE ❤ U GIRL! KEEP IT UP! UR BRILLIANT 👏!
More of them please
Same group, performing End of the Road (Boyz 2 Men cover). MUST SEE.
As a vocalist, I think you would appreciate How Great Thou Art... they are so solid on it and welcome to the home fries!
Welcome to the world of Homefree You will not be displeased with any of their music. They are Amazing! Starting singer is Austin high Tenor. Bearded guy is Rob tenor, Low bass with a crazy range is Tim Foust like a 6 octave or so range, on the beatboxing Adam Rupp a national champion beatboxer and the barritone is Adam Change the guy that was doing the throat singing. Definitely check out more of their stuff you will love them and become one of us homefries!
Eyes and mouth both wide open and giddy...Every woman's reaction to Tim lol
Wow I'm glad you you do things like this
Helplessly Hoping is an awesome blend of their voices.
The expression on your face at 4:03 when you realized there was no harmonica was priceless
I love how all the chit-chatting stops, eyes get wide, jaws drop....when the bass steps up to the microphone 🙂
Great reaction
Add another to the list of women who’ve had that reaction to Tim coming in with the bass.
As you continue to listen to them, you will be amazed at their versatility. You really have no clue what you are getting in to, but you definitely will enjoy the journey!
Love their group. Tim's voice wonderful
Great song, great group, great analysis 👍
I love watching you listening to this
Nice reaction!
They sing very connected to each other indeed. Great singers! and Tim (the bass) can go REALLY deep
I'm sure you'll adore their recent "Travelin Soldier", or one of their first ones "Ring of Fire"
See you in the next one
Tim's response line "while he is sleeping in his grave" after his solo is another octave lower than it was in all the other ensemble sections.
Was that Tim or Chance? You do know Chance can get that low now as well since Tim coached him.
@@2olvets443 - Tim coached Geoff from Voice Play too.
@@Alan62651 also Avi from pentatonic s
NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE REALIZE THIS!!!!!!!!!! MINDBLOWING!
I notice that all the reactors (reacters?) seem to miss that.
Voctave, Disney Princess Medley, vocal perfection. The sopranos will knock your socks off!!!
Folsom prison blues and definitely my church by these guys are amazing
Tim Foust has an absolutely incredible voice, with a range from G0 to A5 from growl to head voice.
Can't wait to see your reaction to Home Free's cover of Ring of Fire!!!
Ooooohhh guess what’s coming on Saturday! 😁
You paused the video just before Tim’s (the bass) insane drop
You need to hear hopelessly hoping then boys to men ‘end of the road’ and once you’ve heard a bit of home free do mayday
When a man loves a woman -Home Free.
Adam Rupp has a UA-cam video out on how he makes the harmonica sound. Still flabbergasts me. This song is and old Bluegrass song that was used in the George Clooney movie. They really get into this song which makes it so much fun.
I believe you have become a member of the Home Fries. they are addicting.
After your “Home Free” week, I’ve been meaning to find time to go back and find your first time hearing them. Fun to rewatch your initial reaction. About Austin: “oh he loves a growl!” and Tim: “who is on that bass note!?” What a journey you’ve had and there’s still much you haven’t seen yet!
Side note, this is a very old folk song (1913), but if you’ve never watched “O Brother Where Art Thou?”, a Coen brothers film set in rural Mississippi during the Great Depression, you should check it out. This song is prominent in this satirical story based loosely on Homer's poem the Odyssey.
Ah I know! Little did I know I’d be in for a loooong journey! An enjoyable one at that!😁
Great reaction
The deep, alligating, everglading southern bass!
Home Free is the real deal. I just discovered them during the pandemic and fell in love. They won the NBC show the SIng Off in 2013 the year after Pentatonix won. They are 4 vocalists plus an amazing beatboxer, Adam. Adam can sing and has a nice tenor voice but prefers to be the beatboxer and he’s amazing doing the drums, harmonica and all manner of sounds. Tim Foust, the bass, has an amazing 5 octave range and can sing amazingly. Two are from Minnesota and the other 3 are from the south. This was filmed in S. Alabama and that was a real gator. Home Free has amazing harmonies and also loves to be silly while sounding good. They sing a lot of covers but also write and sing their own stuff. Loved your reaction. I hope you’ll listen to more of them. Try Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art, Seven Bridges Road.
Thanks for this!!😁
This group will surprise you. Austin (in front/High tenor) is classically trained, and can hit some high notes most women can't hit. Rob (beard left/tenor) has a sweet, easy voice with big range. Tim (front right/long hair/bass) is very well known as one of the best bass singers in the world, and has a 5+ octave range. Chance (Adam Chance/back right/baritone) sang bass for another acapella group before this, and covers bass when Tim goes higher. He is also the one making the "harp" sound in the beginning and end. Adam (Adam Rupp/back left/beatboxer) is one of the best beatboxers in the world, and has won many awards. He can sound like and entire band all by himself. I, personally, have never heard any better acapella group, or any group, for that matter, better than them. This includes PTX and Voiceplay. But, all three groups help each other out with music, arrangements, and writing songs.
this is my 3 time just todays lstening and watch when hre guy goes real dewp these girls eyess go almost in their head lol
As you mentioned you like a cappella groups, please give Voice Play a reaction. I'd recommend Oogie Boogie's Song as it shows a LOT of different vocal techniques in one shot. You'll also be introduced to the vocal wonder that is Geoff Castellucci as Oogie Boogie. His solo cover of 16 tons is also great.
Home Free. "When a Man Loves a Woman". You'll be blown away.
Thank you!
Homefree is BADASS
Just discovered your channel and thoroughly enjoyed your in depth analysis of this amazing performance. Have you ever analyzed the spectacular voice of Linda Ronstadt? If you haven’t, I think you would enjoy listening to the most beautiful female voice on the planet. I am your newest subscriber. 🌺✌️
Thank you! And I shall look into it 😊
First one listener, but a huge Home Free fan ( Home Fry). You have opened a Pandora’s Box to Home Free. I’ll subscribe for more because this isn’t close to their best. They lean country, but are equally comfortable in other genres. My personal favorites are “In The Blood”, and “Helplessly Hoping” or “Seven Bridges Road”. There are no bad choices.
New viewer here and excited to hear a reactors first listen to Home Free !!!! Lookin forward to more analysis and reactions to Home Free. They have a huge catalogue of songs for everyone, would love a reaction to 'How Great Thou Art" from Home Free or maybe "When A Man Loves a Woman". Thanks
If the a capella genre is your thing, also try out the group Voctave (Disney Princess Medley and everything else they do...). You will truly never hear anything quite like it! Also, Voiceplay is another group that is awesome! And more Home Free!!!! Great reaction.
i love the snarl people show when austin goes his gristly voice so funny to see each person do it
Loved your reaction and glad you’re checking out Home Free! Might I suggest “American Pie” feat Don McLean, “End of the Road”, “Take Me Home, Country Roads”, “Folsom Prison Blues”, or my favorite “My Church” next. For a song featuring 5-part harmonies from them, check out “Helplessly Hoping”.
Thank you!
Some of my favorite songs by Home Free:
End of the Road
Folsom Prison Blues
Ring of Fire
Mayday (after you get used to Tim's bass)
Thinking About You/Let's Get It On
The Butts Remix
All About That Bass
Champagne Taste
They have a lot of fun with their videos.
They are masters at utilizing their gifts. Adam Rupp has the harmonica sound down!
Austin, lead tenor, is a southern man. Hear him speak, and you have no doubts. He let his drawl come through for this song.
Rob, 2nd tenor, is a northern man. He and Austin have lovely tenor voices.
Adam Chance, gentleman in the back, singing ooo-ooo, is a baritone/bass. He sings bass often, but not in this song.
Tim sings bass here. He has a very rich resonance to his voice. Rich and clear.
This group of men have a great sense of humor, and express it often in their videos. That said, they are all business.
Investigate further down the rabbit hole that is Home Free Vocal Band. You won't be disappointed.
Start anywhere. They have a plethora of music to choose from.
Mindy
They are incredibly talented. Welcome to the world of Home Free! Check out their other songs. You won't be disappointed!
Great, will do!!
Great song and performance, and it’s always fun to watch someone encountering Tim Foust’s bass for the first time, especially ladies. He has a 5-octave range, so you won’t always hear that gorgeous deep tone.
Great reaction - more Home Free, p,ease!
In some recent concerts, when they do this song, Austin joins Adam during the "harmonica" solo to make it a duet.
