Okay CRAP!! I screwed up! Y’all are completely correct. Adam CHANCE does the mouth harp in Man Of Constant Sorrow! 😆 Did even realize I was just rambling along and blew right through that! My apologies, everyone haha! Thanks for watching, we love having you!
@@debbieadams5315 Adam Rupp does the harmonica. The mouth harp, or throaty sound is done by Adam Chance - he hates doing it, though, because it makes his throat sore.
Home Free doesn’t do covers, the do UPGRADES! Many people believe they sound better than the original song. By the way, the jaw harp in “Man of Constant Sorrow” is , actually, done by Adam Chance!!
FYI, they created this video during the Covid lockdown, so everyone is in their own home studios. Austin was actually singing to his girlfriend, Amberlee.
When Austin started singing, your mom’s expression was a sign that she would become a new Home Fry! Your stepdad seemed to be a new fan, as well! Loved all of your reactions! I love seeing new fandom develop! Home Free is in a class all their own! Hope to see your mom and stepdad again!!
8:41 Adam's little trill from left to right just before the key change is insane ! To do it with an instrument it would be one of those corrugated blocks where you wipe quickly along it with a little stick. Home Free doesn't do covers - they do upgrades...
Those loving looks are real. Austin was singing to his girlfriend who was in the studio just off camera. There aren't enough adjectives to describe Home Free. They need their own. Homfredian: wicked talent polished by decades of hard work.
I'm glad you mentioned hard work. I'm always a little pissed when comments praise their god-given talents but don't give credit to how long they must have trained themselves to become the powerhouses they are today.
Hello mom and Stan! Matt was so excited you were here that he couldnt stop talking.... I enjoyed your mom's face when Austin started singing. That's how I always feel. Thanks for the reaction. Have fun with the fam!
Rob has a BA in vocal performance, Tim started singing in high school and has continued to write songs and perform throughout his adult life. Austin started as a kid (and traveled with his dad's gospel group in the summers) and studied musical theater in college, Adam Rupp played trumpet in college. Not sure about Chance...
Austin did a fabulous job of this classic song. Loved Percy Sledge's version, but this was taken to another level. I think it is also better than Michael Bolton's version. And remember this was done during quarantine, so the guys weren't even together. The backing harmonies are great, along with Tim's bass. And Adam's vocal percussion is outstanding. This is why these guys are my favorite a cappella group.
Percy Sledge was pretty darned awesome. Michael Bolton sounded like this was a lot harder on his voice, whereas Austin Brown's performance seemed almost effortless. Yes, he was working hard, but this was well in his range.
Tim actually grew up in Nederland, TX. When his teachers heard him sing for the first time they set him witg a privste voice teacher he studied with for years. Austin is classically taught and Rob trained for a while as an Opera singer.
So let's set forth the collective abilities of Home Free: -- 5 lead singers (they rehearse, then vote who sounds best for the lead(s)) -- 5 tenors -- 3 baritones -- 2 bass -- 1 basso profundo -- 5 beat boxers/vocal percussionists -- 1 EXCEPTIONAL beatboxer/drum kit/ vocal percussionist -- 5 proficiency for genres: (Pop/Country/R&B/Rock/Gospel/Rap/Blues/Musical theater/Comedy/Holiday/Doo Wop/dancers-in- training 😉 )
Hello mother and stepfather! Nice to "meet"you..😄 Yes, Austin nailed it. He gives himself completely here and also plays very well with the cameras. The great harmonies, deep bass and the unbelievably freaking good beatboxing/vocal percussion/vocal sounds finish it all off for me. I think it sounds perfect because of all the different beautiful voices. I grew up performing Percy Sledge which I already loved. Then came Michael Bolton's performance where I couldn't say for sure if it was better or not. But this one from Home Free certainly is.
Hi Mom and Stan. Adam started to learn to beat box in college and he learned the drums enough to help with his beat boxing. When he draws a breath he's actually making a sound at the same time. I've watched him enough to finally recognize the sound when I hear it. All of the guys except Adam have had vocal training. It's one of the reasons Adam isn't comfortable singing lead on songs where there's no beat boxing but he's got a beautiful voice. I've actually heard that noise before and can see the instrument in my mind from when I was in school but I don't know the name of it. He's even taught some of the other guys beat boxing sounds. Austin was actually singing to his girlfriend Amberly who was standing next to the camera man. Adam Rupp is PHENOMENAL!!! Other beat boxers will tell you that he makes the most realistic instrumental sounds in the business. This was done during the pandemic so they were actually in 5 different locations in 3 different states. Great reaction!!!
The Jew's Harp from Man of Constant Sorrow is done by Adam Chance, usually just called Chance. Adam Rupp does the harmonica sound. There is always some production in the background. This song for example was done during covid and they are all in different locations. They don't use auto tune, so the production is usually just layering. Adam can't play harmonica and drums at the same time. Austin was singing this to his girlfriend who was sitting in a chair just off camera. You need to check out their gospel side, maybe Go Rest High on That Mountain or How Great Thou Art.
Hi Stan and Mom! Ok Matt, you get a pass for not doing "Ain't Goin' Down (Till the Sun Comes Up) since Chris isn't there. Plus you did react to an awesome song by Home Free. I cannot wait till you guys see it though!! It's only on their FB page, but it is so worth it!! Thanks for a great reaction. 💙🍟
Home Free always shows respect to the original, and then put their own spin on it. It's one of the things I love about them, every cover they do seems to be an upgrade to the original.
Hi Matt, mom and Stan! I love this version! I affectionately refer to Austin’s voice in this as magic, cause the ladies panties disappeared. 😂 I believe this was filmed during Covid lockdowns so everyone was separated. The Sea Shanty and Never Gonna Gove You Up was also filmed like this if memory serves. Great reaction as always. See ya around.
#MOM and #STAN... We will make HOMEFRIES out of them, yet! I have been following them for 20 years and they only get better! Percy Sledge sang it first and then Michael Bolton sang it a little later! But, nobody can sing it like HOMEFREE!!! They are SPECTACULAR! THIS SONG is Sheer perfection! They actually do not have a lead singer; whatever the song calls for, is who sings lead! They all have sung lead at some point!!! I actually am extremely fond of TIM FOUST!!! He has a 5 ovtave range and can go from deep bass to tenor in a flash!!! He also has written many of their songs! I really love this song! Thank you for such a glowing reaction!!!
Adam majored in music in college (trumpet performance 🎶) so his ability to do circular breathing and triple-tongue is a huge help when it comes to his vocal percussion. 😉👍 He's got great rhythm, too, based on his dancing skills (!) and playing bass guitar & drums. 🥁🎸🎺 He & Chris formed HF when they were in college in 2000. Pretty much a flip of a coin decided which one would sing and who would beatbox. Lol From there, Adam taught himself to beatbox using DVDs!! 😳 After that, it was just a matter of repeating a sound 1,000s of times 'til he perfected it! After that, he learned to play real drums so he could accurately reproduce the movements during his performances. Sheesh Talk about dedication to your craft! He never fails to amaze me, even after all these years. ❤ This is one of their many quarantine videos, by the way. The guys were all in their respective homes. Austin and his girlfriend, Amberly, were the only ones in the studio. Home Free is #1 in my book, a capella or not! 😍
#HiMom #HiStan Hi Matt!!! The look on your mom's face said it all! Enjoyed watching your parents get to know HF. Austin killed it, but not without the vocal support of the rest of HF. And, once again, y'all really need to react to Ain't Going Down Til The Sun Comes Up!
Your parents are so cool. Yes, Austin is amazing and so is Adam. I think they call it circular breathing? He inhales and exhales while doing the sounds…just don’t ask me how? Adam has been in the group (he and his brother founded it) 22 years so a long time practicing. Austin has had formal training. Tim (the bass) used to be a tenor and then his voice dropped so he kept singing in the tenor range and says it helped his lower range. Yeah he has a 5 octave range which is crazy. They’re all so good. And yes, both Pentatonix and Home Free sing Mary Did You Know. Great reaction Matt and parents! Love Home Free! And Tim and Austin write songs that Home Free sings too. Try the Dive Bar Saints album. 😀🥰
Really nice you had Mom and Stan on with you. Great reaction from y'all. Austin was made for this song and the rest of the guys picked it up and put it down. Thanks
Hi Mom and Stan! Great to see more Home Fries!! LOL Adam didn't start beatboxing until the group was formed 20 years ago. So basically, if it wasn't for his brother's crazy idea to start an acapella group when they were in college, he may have never learned to do it. And believe it or not, he first learned from a dvd! All the guys have some kind of music training. Adam primarily in instruments (trumpet, drums and bass guitar) but the others all studied music in college. As for the convincing looks, Austin's lovely lady was behind the camera when he was singing so he was singing it for her. That and Austin is a camera flirt! LOL
#HiMom!!! #HiStan!!! This was the perfect song to do with them!!! This video was done during quarantine, so the guys recorded separately! But it works soooo well, like you said it really spotlights & showcases Austin & his absolute slaying of this beautiful song! 😍 say hi to Chris from us 🍟! 🥰
Yep, both Pentatonix and Home Free have versions of Mary Did You Know. Home Free's Do You Hear What I Hear is an older one with Chris Rupp on baritone and it is fantastic for Christmas.
Hi #Mom, Hi #Stan, welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. Hope you continue to watch our guys, they are terrific and addictive Also, thought you might find this interesting, this was during quarantine, so the guys in the monitor weren't even in the studio, Austin was the only one in the studio. They put out a lot of amazing songs during lockdown, 1 about every 2 weeks. They really kept our spirits up Enjoy your visit with your son and friends!!!
"Man of Constant Sorrow" ---Adam Rupp did the 'harmonica' vocal percussions ---Adam Chance did the Mouth organ/jews harp/ Tibetian throat singing. Watch Chance (hat, brown vest) at the closing seconds, leaning against the post/ raining...can discern his creating that sound.
Austin kills this one! Homefree always pick the right person for the job! Great reaction!🎶💖🎶 Hi Mom ! Hi Stan! Hope you enjoy Homefree as much as I do!
Hello Mom and Stan hope you’re enjoying yourselves. Love this channel and the all the reactions. I love Home Free so it’s easy watching and listening to them. Thank you for your hard work. 🎼🦋🎵❤️🎶🌸
Thank you for reaching to this song done amazingly by Austin! I love to hear him sing, and his smile... contagious!! Salmon, Idaho? I have friends that live there (John & Nancy Wolf).
These guys always deliver and they know it. It also seems like they are comfortable with whatever level of fame they have or will achieve. For as long as they are together and beyond, they will always be one of us, And they like it that way.
Hi Matt, Mom and Stan. I am so glad you watched this. Austin is awesome as well as everyone else. His girlfriend was there with him and he was looking at her when he looked towards the camera. Michael Bolton had a great version of this and Home Free favored Michael's version.
Don't forget, this had the added challenge of being done under quarantine! And tell Mom that Austin looks convincing because his girlfriend is there in the studio with him!
Hi Matt's mom and Stan. Good to see some fellow Idahoans. I've been to Salmon and it's very beautiful. Loved your reactions to my favorite singer. Austin voice is just amazing. Tim said that he encouraged him to do this and said their will be a few more babies in 9 months after this came out. Don't know how that turned out. But this group is fantastic. They will be in Idaho in Sept and Oct. You should check them out at a concert. Enjoyed your comments. 🥰✌❤
This was a great reaction! I like your parents. You should show them a live beatbox solo off of youtube, or Man Of Constant Sorrow with the harmonica sound and the bass, their bottom lip will hit the floor like mine did when I saw them.
When I first heard this song was going to be covered by HOME FREE, I knew it was going to be my favorite version. Everytime Austin looks into the camera, I smile and wink lol
#himom #hiStan I love Austin's cover of this, he did Percy proud. He had Amberly in there with him. Actually the mouth harp was Chance, but Adam did his nomonica. They just blow me away every time. Thanks for posting
Good to meet you, Mom and Stan! 307 Reacts is one of my very favorite reactors. I've loved Home Free since the Sing-Off in 2013. It's so fun to see new fans react. This was filmed during the COVID lockdown - so they were all separate. Makes it even more amazing.
Thanks for the introductions, and welcome! The original, by Percy SLEDGE 😉🤣 is classic, and Home Free definitely did it justice. As for Austin, he had his wife in the room, and he was singing to her... hence the emotional content.
Hi Mom and Stan Great reaction to Home Free! They are a gift and I absolutely love watching 1st reactions. Matt glad you were there to give us background and context. Hope y'all had a fun weekend together.
Tim was a substitute teacher, Rob a bartender, Austin was doing theater on a cruise ship. I'm sorry I can't remember what Chance was doing. They weren't together for this because of quarantine. There's a CD from that time. With some really funny stuff
Awesome reaction Matt! You couldn't have picked a better video to show your mom and Stan! You should also show them their newest release...From Here To The Moon And Back!
Home Free is absolutely Phenomenal! So glad you to this one! Extra special for you to have your mom and stepdad with you! Hey y'all! Sending love from South Georgia! Enjoyed the reaction so much!❤️😃🍟
I just found Home Free 2 weeks ago and have been binge watching everything Home Free ever since. They are amazing! I can't believe I never heard of them before. Thanks for your reaction and it was awesome that you had your parents with you.
I've considered the original and the Michael Bolton cover to be in a class all by themselves. When this came out, it became the third member of the group.
It's a signed one I got when I saw them in November last year! I got it from a subscriber that was at the same show with a VIP pass! She has several of them, so she gave me a whole goody bag! If you look really close at the frame to the other room behind us, we have their set list from that show pinned up too!
Love the reaction and enthusiasm ! #HiMom #HiStan Austin just owned this song ! You should see the reaction to this song on the channel 'Jamee Jams' - right after the first vers, she says "If you you could make a baby with just a voice ..." - you are right - Austin is taking all the women.
Chris Rupp started the group when he and Adam were in college. Tim sang in junior high and high school. Austin's dad was in a Gospel Quartet and been singing since he was little Adam taught himself how to beatbox for the group back in 2000. Adam Chance went to school for creative writing I believe. I don't know anything for sure other then he was in other groups before Home Free. The mouth harp was actually done by Chance not Adam Rupp. Truly enjoyed watching your reactions to these guys.
Austin traveled and occasionally sang with his father's gospel quartet when he was 6 or 7 years old. He went to college on a full music scholarship and spent years trying to nullify his Georgia accent - when he joined Home Free they told him to stop trying.
Matt, Adam Rupp didn't do the jaw harp in "Man of Constant Sorrow". That was Adam "Chance"! Adam Rupp did the "harmonica"! I loved this reaction with your mom & step dad! It's so much fun to watch "new" viewers react to Home Free!😊
In close-ups of Adam Rupp during his drum solos live, I've noticed that his eyes will fix and I wonder if he's even aware of the audience or if he's only seeing a drum kit in his mind. He's just astonishing.
Actually, Chance did the jaws harp in Man of Constant Sorrow and Adam did the harmonica. Chance has a scene on the porch at the end of the video where he's doing the "throat singing" to sound like a jaws harp. Chance also has quite a range. They are all so awesome.
Haven;t listened to Home Free for a while, so devoted ti VoicePlay, but this was terrific. And yes both Home Free and PTX have covered Mary Did You Know. It's the one by PTX that i know.
I am sure somebody else mentioned this, but, you should listen to his drum solo! All by himself, drum solo! Simply, ( not simple ), awesome!! Tim Roust does a high pitched doo all song, check it out.
HI MOM AND STHEPDAD ITS WAS VERY GOOD TO SE YOUR REACTION,THIS SONG IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE OF HOME FREE LOVE IT,MATT AND THANKS FOR SHARING AND REACTION HUGS FROM NORWAY 💞💞
Home Free just dropped their next video (a cover of a Doobie Brothers song) to Patreon patrons and it is awesome. Adam gets to let go on the drums and, boy, does he! It should be premiering Friday here on UA-cam. I think this is one you're going to want to catch early.
Adam Rupp and Rob Lundquist come from Minneapolis. Adam Chance is from California. Tim Foust is from Texas, and Austin lives in Georgia. Chris Rupp (Adam's brother), who is one of the founders of the group, recently did a series of videos where he sat down with each guy, including the originals, and told the story of how they began and how they worked their way up to where they are today. It was a fascinating set of videos. I think it's on Chris's UA-cam channel.
Okay CRAP!! I screwed up!
Y’all are completely correct. Adam CHANCE does the mouth harp in Man Of Constant Sorrow! 😆
Did even realize I was just rambling along and blew right through that! My apologies, everyone haha! Thanks for watching, we love having you!
It's Adam Rupp doing the harmonica. Check out his outfit. Also he has a video on how he does it.
No you were correct the first time. Adam Rupp does the mouth sharp in man of constant sorrow
@@debbieadams5315 Adam Rupp does the harmonica. The mouth harp, or throaty sound is done by Adam Chance - he hates doing it, though, because it makes his throat sore.
@@pattymelt5525 I realised my mistake in a few videos after this one when he said he actually meant the harp thing not harmonica x
@@debbieadams5315 👍👍😆😆
Home Free doesn’t do covers, the do UPGRADES! Many people believe they sound better than the original song. By the way, the jaw harp in “Man of Constant Sorrow” is , actually, done by Adam Chance!!
They do great covers.

singing to his girlfriend--explains the flirty manner.
I really enjoyed your Dad and Mom being there. They seem really fun!

Austin started as a kid (and traveled with his dad's gospel group in the summers) and studied musical theater in college, Adam Rupp played trumpet in college. Not sure about Chance...
Tim was a tenor in highschool!!!!!!
Chance graduated from The UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA! With a degree in Music Performance and hails from Mobile Al.
Doesn't Rob have some opera training.
@@chanaplotke6218 ... Rob studied opera all through college. I think it was his main focus.
Austin did a fabulous job of this classic song. Loved Percy Sledge's version, but this was taken to another level. I think it is also better than Michael Bolton's version. And remember this was done during quarantine, so the guys weren't even together. The backing harmonies are great, along with Tim's bass. And Adam's vocal percussion is outstanding.

Adam has a degree in Performance Trumpet, Austin's degree is in Musical Theater and Rob has a degree in Musical Performance with an emphasis in Opera.
Austin had his woman next to the camera, the emotion was real, he was singing directly to her when he looked at the camera
They guys JUST dropped their cover to LISTEN TO THE MUSIC.
Amazing.
So let's set forth the collective abilities of Home Free:
-- 5 lead singers (they rehearse, then vote who sounds best for the lead(s))
-- 5 tenors
-- 3 baritones
-- 2 bass
-- 1 basso profundo
-- 5 beat boxers/vocal percussionists
-- 1 EXCEPTIONAL beatboxer/drum kit/ vocal percussionist
-- 5 proficiency for genres: (Pop/Country/R&B/Rock/Gospel/Rap/Blues/Musical theater/Comedy/Holiday/Doo Wop/dancers-in- training 😉 )
I love your mom's reaction. This Austin can flirt with a camera and his voice is absolutely flawless
LOVE HOME FREE....especially Austin! Always smiling!!
Hello mother and stepfather! Nice to "meet"you..😄
Yes, Austin nailed it. He gives himself completely here and also plays very well with the cameras. The great harmonies, deep bass and the unbelievably freaking good beatboxing/vocal percussion/vocal sounds finish it all off for me. I think it sounds perfect because of all the different beautiful voices. I grew up performing Percy Sledge which I already loved. Then came Michael Bolton's performance where I couldn't say for sure if it was better or not. But this one from Home Free certainly is.
On top of all their talent, they are just basically really nice people.
Backwards hats lol. Home Free singing Slapback is awesome, love their rendition!
Hi Mom and Stan. Adam started to learn to beat box in college and he learned the drums enough to help with his beat boxing. When he draws a breath he's actually making a sound at the same time. I've watched him enough to finally recognize the sound when I hear it. All of the guys except Adam have had vocal training.

I cannot wait till you guys see it though!! It's only on their FB page, but it is so worth it!! Thanks for a great reaction. 💙🍟

Their new CD has all of their lockdown songs on it, appropriately called Sounds of Lockdown.
😂 definitely a panty dropper 😂
Has a drummer for 40 years. I love it, but I’m most impressed Austin’s voice.
#MOM and #STAN... We will make HOMEFRIES out of them, yet! I have been following them for 20 years and they only get better! Percy Sledge sang it first and then Michael Bolton sang it a little later! But, nobody can sing it like HOMEFREE!!! They are SPECTACULAR! THIS SONG is Sheer perfection! They actually do not have a lead singer; whatever the song calls for, is who sings lead!

Adam majored in music in college (trumpet performance 🎶) so his ability to do circular breathing and triple-tongue is a huge help when it comes to his vocal percussion. 😉👍 He's got great rhythm, too, based on his dancing skills (!) and playing bass guitar & drums. 🥁🎸🎺
He & Chris formed HF when they were in college in 2000. Pretty much a flip of a coin decided which one would sing and who would beatbox. Lol
From there, Adam taught himself to beatbox using DVDs!! 😳 After that, it was just a matter of repeating a sound 1,000s of times 'til he perfected it! After that, he learned to play real drums so he could accurately reproduce the movements during his performances. Sheesh
Talk about dedication to your craft! He never fails to amaze me, even after all these years. ❤
This is one of their many quarantine videos, by the way. The guys were all in their respective homes. Austin and his girlfriend, Amberly, were the only ones in the studio.
Home Free is #1 in my book, a capella or not! 😍
On an interview, someone asked Adam how long it took him to learn to beat box and he said, "I'm still learning."
#HiMom #HiStan Hi Matt!!! The look on your mom's face said it all! Enjoyed watching your parents get to know HF. Austin killed it, but not without the vocal support of the rest of HF. And, once again, y'all really need to react to Ain't Going Down Til The Sun Comes Up!
Show your mom and Stan "Try Anything" from Zootopia that one is fun and right after chance joined the group.
Your parents are so cool. Yes, Austin is amazing and so is Adam. I think they call it circular breathing? He inhales and exhales while doing the sounds…just don’t ask me how? Adam has been in the group (he and his brother founded it) 22 years so a long time practicing. Austin has had formal training. Tim (the bass) used to be a tenor and then his voice dropped so he kept singing in the tenor range and says it helped his lower range. Yeah he has a 5 octave range which is crazy. They’re all so good. And yes, both Pentatonix and Home Free sing Mary Did You Know. Great reaction Matt and parents! Love Home Free! And Tim and Austin write songs that Home Free sings too. Try the Dive Bar Saints album. 😀🥰
Really nice you had Mom and Stan on with you. Great reaction from y'all. Austin was made for this song and the rest of the guys picked it up and put it down. Thanks
And that's the way you sing that song ... OMG Austin killed it !
Hi Mom and Stan! Great to see more Home Fries!! LOL Adam didn't start beatboxing until the group was formed 20 years ago. So basically, if it wasn't for his brother's crazy idea to start an acapella group when they were in college, he may have never learned to do it. And believe it or not, he first learned from a dvd! All the guys have some kind of music training. Adam primarily in instruments (trumpet, drums and bass guitar) but the others all studied music in college. As for the convincing looks, Austin's lovely lady was behind the camera when he was singing so he was singing it for her. That and Austin is a camera flirt! LOL
Exept for Tim, he was in Uni to become a dentist.
But he has a solid school choire education.
So yes they all have an music background.
#HiMom!!! #HiStan!!! This was the perfect song to do with them!!! This video was done during quarantine, so the guys recorded separately! But it works soooo well, like you said it really spotlights & showcases Austin & his absolute slaying of this beautiful song! 😍 say hi to Chris from us 🍟! 🥰
#HiMom #HiStan We love your son! Enjoy your stay. Thanks for helping Matt react. Austin is massively talented.
Thank you, Lana! We had a really great time!
Yep, both Pentatonix and Home Free have versions of Mary Did You Know.

Hi Matt's mom and Stan. Good to see some fellow Idahoans. I've been to Salmon and it's very beautiful. Loved your reactions to my favorite singer. Austin voice is just amazing. Tim said that he encouraged him to do this and said their will be a few more babies in 9 months after this came out. Don't know how that turned out. But this group is fantastic. They will be in Idaho in Sept and Oct. You should check them out at a concert. Enjoyed your comments. 🥰✌❤
Thanks, Judy! Salmon is truly breathtaking! I'll have to let the folks know that the boys are coming through! I'm sure they'd love to see them live!
#HiMom & #HiStan !!!! Just another PHENOMENAL performance by Home Free....glad your folks were able to join you....hope Chris is OK !!!
Hey Kevin! Chris is doing great, he just sat out on this one since the folks were passing through town!
This was a great reaction! I like your parents. You should show them a live beatbox solo off of youtube, or Man Of Constant Sorrow with the harmonica sound and the bass, their bottom lip will hit the floor like mine did when I saw them.
When I first heard this song was going to be covered by HOME FREE, I knew it was going to be my favorite version. Everytime Austin looks into the camera, I smile and wink lol
#himom #hiStan I love Austin's cover of this, he did Percy proud. He had Amberly in there with him. Actually the mouth harp was Chance, but Adam did his nomonica. They just blow me away every time. Thanks for posting
Adam went to college for trumpet performance. He can do all kinds of circular breathing and Double and triple tonging all kinds of mouth contortions.
Part of their charm is their awesome personalities obvious in their videos
That's what Home Free is about, blowing our minds and hearts wide open so we can let the love in, and out. ❤️
#HiMom, #HiStan, Hi Matt!
Good to meet you, Mom and Stan! 307 Reacts is one of my very favorite reactors. I've loved Home Free since the Sing-Off in 2013. It's so fun to see new fans react. This was filmed during the COVID lockdown - so they were all separate. Makes it even more amazing.
#HiMom #HiStan #ThanksForRaisingMattHeIsAwesome We Love the boys!!!!
Thanks for the introductions, and welcome! The original, by Percy SLEDGE 😉🤣 is classic, and Home Free definitely did it justice. As for Austin, he had his wife in the room, and he was singing to her... hence the emotional content.
Girlfriend! Not married but totally committed!
A few years ago i took my daughter to see home free. it was her first concert ever. she was so excited she lost her voice.
Hi Mom & Stan! It appears that we have 2 new Home Fries! Welcome! What a fun reaction! ❤
Thank you! 🤗
Hi Mom and Stan Great reaction to Home Free! They are a gift and I absolutely love watching 1st reactions. Matt glad you were there to give us background and context. Hope y'all had a fun weekend together.
I agree!! Ain’t going down is my new favorite! It’s so impressive
Tim was a substitute teacher, Rob a bartender, Austin was doing theater on a cruise ship. I'm sorry I can't remember what Chance was doing. They weren't together for this because of quarantine. There's a CD from that time. With some really funny stuff
Awesome reaction Matt! You couldn't have picked a better video to show your mom and Stan! You should also show them their newest release...From Here To The Moon And Back!
Home Free is absolutely Phenomenal! So glad you to this one! Extra special for you to have your mom and stepdad with you! Hey y'all! Sending love from South Georgia! Enjoyed the reaction so much!❤️😃🍟
Hi Mom& Stan…‼️. Home Free is AWESOME ❤️‼️🥰. Austin’s voice is most Incredible 🥰❤️‼️
Hi Mom & Stan, it's wonderful to meet you. This video was one that Home Free did during quarantine, & Austin is the only one actually in the studio.
So glad you finally watched this. Austin slays this song!!
FYI, Chance does the mouth harp in "Man of Constant Sorrow". Enjoyed your reaction with your Mom and Step Dad!
Loved your mom's face when Austin started to sing!! They have a new one out "Listen To The Music". It will blow your mind.
I recommend checking out Tim's solo doo-wop album single mashup of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay".
Hi Mom & Stan!! Home Free is the best. Love your reactions. Mom's reaction was priceless!
I just found Home Free 2 weeks ago and have been binge watching everything Home Free ever since. They are amazing! I can't believe I never heard of them before. Thanks for your reaction and it was awesome that you had your parents with you.
Hi, Mom and Stan. The mouth harp in Man of Constant Sorrow was Adam Chance. Adam Rupp did a harmonica that blows people's minds.
Beautiful song. Excellent reaction…love your family ❣️❣️❣️
I've considered the original and the Michael Bolton cover to be in a class all by themselves. When this came out, it became the third member of the group.
I just noticed the Home Free Concert poster on the wall 🤩
It's a signed one I got when I saw them in November last year! I got it from a subscriber that was at the same show with a VIP pass! She has several of them, so she gave me a whole goody bag! If you look really close at the frame to the other room behind us, we have their set list from that show pinned up too!
Loved your Mum’s smile. 🇨🇦
Love the reaction and enthusiasm ! #HiMom #HiStan Austin just owned this song ! You should see the reaction to this song on the channel 'Jamee Jams' - right after the first vers, she says "If you you could make a baby with just a voice ..." - you are right - Austin is taking all the women.
FIRST TIME HERE!! WHAT A SET OF PIPES! BEAUTIFUL....(btw..born/raised in Wyoming!..the 307 caught my attention! )
Home Free has a newer cover out , From the Moon and Back. It’s awesome 👏🎼🦋🎵❤️🎶
Hi Mom👋, Hi Stan👋, Hi Matt👋 I'm so glad y'all enjoyed this Home Free cover❤ Great reactions😊
Chris Rupp started the group when he and Adam were in college. Tim sang in junior high and high school. Austin's dad was in a Gospel Quartet and been singing since he was little Adam taught himself how to beatbox for the group back in 2000. Adam Chance went to school for creative writing I believe. I don't know anything for sure other then he was in other groups before Home Free. The mouth harp was actually done by Chance not Adam Rupp. Truly enjoyed watching your reactions to these guys.
Hello Sharon mortimer.How are you doing?
Austin traveled and occasionally sang with his father's gospel quartet when he was 6 or 7 years old. He went to college on a full music scholarship and spent years trying to nullify his Georgia accent - when he joined Home Free they told him to stop trying.
thanks for reacting to the group! (:
Matt, Adam Rupp didn't do the jaw harp in "Man of Constant Sorrow". That was Adam "Chance"! Adam Rupp did the "harmonica"! I loved this reaction with your mom & step dad! It's so much fun to watch "new" viewers react to Home Free!😊
You're totally right! Turns out, I rambled through that and didn't even think about it! 😆 Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!
In close-ups of Adam Rupp during his drum solos live, I've noticed that his eyes will fix and I wonder if he's even aware of the audience or if he's only seeing a drum kit in his mind. He's just astonishing.
They learned how to sing acapella in choir and church, just like I did. Anyone that was a choir geek in high school is a big fan of acapella.
Awwww...the 'rents!!!! This was great, Matt!!!! HI MOM!!! HI STAN!!! Love this, love Home Free, love 307 Reacts....keep up the good work!!!
Love watching your mother’s face…..
Enjoyed sharing your reaction and Home Free with your folks!
Thank you so much!
Devout, dedicated Home Fry here! Hi Mom, Hi Stan! Austin and Adam killed this one. 🐝🤗❤️
Hi Gina and Stan! Great reaction, Austin's voice was made for this upgrade!
So good!
Actually, Chance did the jaws harp in Man of Constant Sorrow and Adam did the harmonica. Chance has a scene on the porch at the end of the video where he's doing the "throat singing" to sound like a jaws harp. Chance also has quite a range. They are all so awesome.
Haven;t listened to Home Free for a while, so devoted ti VoicePlay, but this was terrific. And yes both Home Free and PTX have covered Mary Did You Know. It's the one by PTX that i know.
I am sure somebody else mentioned this, but, you should listen to his drum solo! All by himself, drum solo! Simply, ( not simple ), awesome!! Tim Roust does a high pitched doo all song, check it out.
HI MOM AND STHEPDAD ITS WAS VERY GOOD TO SE YOUR REACTION,THIS SONG IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE OF HOME FREE LOVE IT,MATT AND THANKS FOR SHARING AND REACTION HUGS FROM NORWAY 💞💞
Home Free just dropped their next video (a cover of a Doobie Brothers song) to Patreon patrons and it is awesome. Adam gets to let go on the drums and, boy, does he! It should be premiering Friday here on UA-cam. I think this is one you're going to want to catch early.
Hello Lynette Cowper.How are you doing?
#Hi Mom and thanks for joining in on such a great cover.
Hey Mom & Stan! Hope y'all had a great visit. Loved the reaction!!
3:34 the moment your mom became a homefry! one of us one of us one of us lol.
Adam Rupp and Rob Lundquist come from Minneapolis. Adam Chance is from California. Tim Foust is from Texas, and Austin lives in Georgia. Chris Rupp (Adam's brother), who is one of the founders of the group, recently did a series of videos where he sat down with each guy, including the originals, and told the story of how they began and how they worked their way up to where they are today. It was a fascinating set of videos. I think it's on Chris's UA-cam channel.
