They way I would describe the big three of acapella in high school terms is Pentatonix are the popular kids. Highly polished and each know their role. Voiceplay are the theater kids...polished with highly entertaining dramaric videos. Home Free are the guys hanging out in the parking lot. Tight harmonies and simple videos. Each is unique and really can't be compared. Very possible to enjoy them all. As a group, I would say Home Free defies labels. They consistently switch up their singing style as well as who sings what. That flexibility makes their sound unique. While they lean country they can do pretty much anything from rap to opera and have. They don't take themselves too seriously, allowing us to see their funny side in many videos, but the music never suffers. With over 320 videos, there is always something you can truly enjoy.

Home Free won the Sing Off the year after Pentatonix won. The groups are friends. Tim Foust, the bass, helped Geoff and Avi sing lower. Home Free usually goes back to the roots of the song. This was originally written for a movie about prison in 1955 so even the Righteous Brothers was a cover. This is beautifully done. Home Free is more country but sing all genres of music. Their harmonies can’t be beat. Try Helplessly Hoping, Brothers in Arms, In the Blood, I Can’t Outrun You, Die a Happy Man, Yours. Great reaction!😍

They've often collaborated with other singers & bands (The Oak Ridge Boys, Alabama, Charlie Daniels, Don McLean, Kenny Rogers & Lee Greenwood among them).

Welcome to Home Free rabbit hole. The group started in 2001 by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp They are the only country A Capella ( all vocals no instruments)group but they can honestly sing any genre and they do As you know they won The Sing Off season 4 2013 that's where they became very popular. Fans of Home Free are known as Home Fries and are very loyal to the guys.

Yes, welcome to Home Free, masters of all musical genres. Their covers are upgrades, their medleys are brilliant, their collaborations with the original artists are inspirational, and their original songs are masterpieces. Within this 5 man vocal band you have 5 tenors, 5 beat boxers, and 2 bass-baritones. They can do just about anything and they continue to grow and improve, yet they remain so humble. When they have featured guest artist, they support and allow their featured artists to shine. Several of them have their own channels and do some solo work. And just for fun Rob and Austin sing Opera. What else can I say? Their catalogue of work is quite large and continues to grow. I really enjoyed your reaction and thoughts on this song. It is interesting that this song has been your introduction to Home Free. For many people it is Man Of Constant Sorrow, or Ring Of Fire. It doesn't really matter where you start, you are in for an exciting journey and the Home Fries will be there for you all the way.

Nick, I don’t subscribe to all reactors. Those I do subscribe to are the ones that appreciate the music a cappella creates and adds to the joy I feel from it by actually pointing out things I may have missed no matter how many times I’ve heard a song. You do that. You make a song a new special. I hope that makes sense. Home Free is a special band. They are - to me - as special as PTX and VoicePlay in a way of their own.

Tim Foust the bass from Home Free was the one who helped Geoff Castelucci be able to hit his lower notes. The two groups competed on the Sing Off together and have had some members collaborate in various projects over the years since. The acappella groups from the Sing Off have been known to work together with Avi Kaplan the original bass from Pentatonix doing Ring of Fire with Home Free in their earlier days it seems to be a pretty tight knit community. (Not necessarily just from the Sing Off)

I really enjoyed your reaction. I too am a huge a cappella fan. You mentioned that you recently went down the Pentatonix rabbit hole. Well, with Home Free, there's an equally extensive rabbit hole. They lean country, but can sing anything. If you want country, there's Take Me Home Country Roads, Man of Constant Sorrow or Ring of Fire (featuring Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix), for oldies, When a Man Loves a Woman, American Pie (featuring Don McLean), Crazy, and Elvira (performed with the Oak Ridge Boys), for Gospel, How Great Thou Art, for R&B, End of the Road, for patriotic God Bless the USA and Go Rest High on That Mountain and for comedy, Champagne Tastes on a Beer Budget (with a very brief Avi Kaplan cameo,) and The Butts Remix/Medley. Those suggestions don't even scratch the surface of their repertoire. As an a cappella fan, you should also know about two other phenomenal groups, VoicePlay and Voctave. VoicePlay is probably the most theatrical of the groups. As a start, check out their cover of Oogie Boogie's Song from the movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas. A good place to start with Voctave, a larger group with no beatboxer, is their Disney Love Medley which features Kirsten Maldonado from Pentatonix. The interesting thing about all of these groups is that they all know and respect each other. The bass of VoicePlay arranged Elvira for Home Free and the Oak Ridge Boys. VoicePlay's beatboxer arranged Home Free's Butts Remix/Medley. You often find members of one group freatured in songs by the others. Enjoy the a cappella journey. I look forward to many more of your reactions.

People compare these acappella groups to high school. PTX are the popular kids. Voice Play are the theater kids. Home Free are the ones goofing off and hanging out outside. Home Free doesn’t sing only country, but it’s suits their homey, natural and easy style. These are the guys I want to party with! On the prison theme, I suggest their cover of “Folsom Prison Blues”. For something, original and recent, “Playing with Fire”. For a party, “Hillbilly Bone”. BTW: The group has had only one change since 2013. Cofounder Chris Rupp left in early 2016. Leading off here was Tim Foust. Austin Brown covered the tenor lead. Cofounder Adam Rupp does the beats. And on this one, Rob and Chance covered background. Have fun. 🐇🕳️ 🏠🍟

Home Free describes itself as a country acapella band, but they do many other things as well. You cannot pin them down to one genre. There is no lead singer. They either take different verses as they did here or pick the member whose voice best fits the song. Their videos range from the five of them just standing or sitting in one place, comedic plays on their songs which are fantastic, others are very dramatic and many of them include actors playing out a scene intermixed with the music. Their catalog on YT has around 300 songs. To start here are the guys and a recommendation that features each of them as the lead: First singer is Tim Foust. He is a bass with a five octave range and "plays" base guitar, featured on Ring of Fire (Sing-Off version). He also has his own YT channel. Second singer is Austin Brown. He is a high tenor with an incredibly strong and agile voice, featured on When a Man Loves a Woman. He also has his own YT channel and he did a solo version of Unchained Melody with guitar accompaniment that has 14 million views. Singer with beard is Rob Lundquist. He is a tenor with a smooth voice with a lot of soul, featured on End of the Road. Singer in the same jail cell with the knit cap is Adam Chance. He is technically a baritone, but can easily sing bass or tenor, featured on Cover Me Up. And last, but not least, is beatboxer extraordinaire Adam Rupp. There is no sound he cannot make. Check out one of his "drum solos." That's just the beginning. Welcome to the Home Free Rabbit Hole.

It took me a bit to appreciate this version of Unchained Melody because I love Bobby Hatfields version so much. Home Free turned this into their own version, as usual, and now that I have opened my mind this blows me away. Home Free always picks the best person for the song and they do their best as a group for the good of the song. There is no sense that they are competing for attention, which is part of that restraint you observed. Many of their cover songs are just as good as, if not better, than the originals. Their own compositions, along with many of their covers, should be on the radio every day. It’s a crime they are not worldwide superstars! Love VoicePlay as well for theatrical covers especially.

There are obviously exceptions, but most Home Free videos are 5 guys standing around somewhere. Who sings lead for a specific song varies on the song, some with only one lead, some songs they divide up. Whatever is the best fit. They have both these very sober songs as well as a comedic side. Here are some recs depending what you are looking for They have many great songs to react to, here are some examples Man of Constant Sorrow (A lot of people start here) Helplessly Hoping One Man Band Never gonna give you up Folsom Prison Blues The Gambler How great Thou Art Fishin' in the Dark/Boondocks And here some recs for specific singers Austin Brown (high tenor) - skinny guy When a Man loves a woman Crazy Moonshine Meet in the middle Rob Lundquist (tenor) - teddy bear with glasses Blue Ain't your color End of the Road Spaceship 9 to 5 Adam Chance (bass/bariton) - joined 2016, goes by Chance Some Girls Do Cover Me Up Dive Bar Saints I can't outrun you Tim Foust (bass) - longer dark hair or shorter gray hair Hillbilly Bone Champagne Taste (on a beer budget) Brothers in Arms Everybody walkin' this land

Oh are you in for a treat. These guys' talent is "off the chart" in so many ways. Between the five of them, they can come up with 2 Bass (Earth shattering & speaker blowing), 3 Supple Baritone, 5 Gorgeous Tenors, 2.5 High Tenors, 5 Beatboxers (their main one is a freak of nature), all of which can accompany and blend with each other flawlessly. All genres, opera to pop to r&b to rock to gospel but lean a little country. These guys love what they do and THEY HAVE FUN. Get to know them by name/voice quickly as there are countless easter eggs out there where each one will astonish from time to time. DEEP rabbit hole - you can't go wrong. SUBBD

I get goosebumps every time I hear this. Austin Brown is the tenor/ high tenor, Tim Foust is the Bass. He has a 5 octave range. He helped teach Geoff Castellucci how to sing low bass. The two in the one cell is Rob Lundquist with the beard and glasses he is the 2nd tenor and Adam Chance is the baritone and sometimes bass when Tim is singing lead. The last one standing in his cell is Adam Rupp. Founder of the band and he is a champion beatboxer. If you want to hear Austin Browns voice up front, check out him singing this song solo and with Home Free When a Man Loves a Woman. If you want to hear Tim's 5 octave range check out his solo Will You Still Love MeTomorrow/Stay. Then continue down the rabbit hole with the home free songs but save "Mayday" for after you have heard some more of their songs.

Just a bit of info - Home Free has the most experience of the 3 top a capella groups. They won The Sound Off the year after Pentatonix. They'd had a very successful history playing on cruise ships, casinos, etc. They turned mainly Country during the competition due to the suggestion of the producers. They competed against Voice Play who was good, but DEFINITELY not the powerhouse they are now! Tim, the bass in Home Free, has the least music education but is probably the most knowledgeable, versatile, & experienced of the groups! Initially a math teacher, he has massive natural vocal talents and started doing side gigs during summer breaks. Due to his being able to instruct high tenors to rumbling bass's, he was very popular on cruise ships since contacted groups often changed members & new members had to learn whatever parts were needed! He has a vocal range from high whistles to blow out speakers bass. In fact, Tim taught Geoff of Voice Play how to reach his maximum low growls (he was a great student 😅). Tim is amazing. They all are. But Tim has that extra something & is an all round nice guy. The Home Free guys are very laid back & down to earth normies. They can make you cry one minute & have you rolling on the floor laughing the next. Only one member change since the competition... Chris Rupp & his brother Adam Rupp (beat boxer) started the group. Chris left the group for a solo & production career about the same time Avi left Pentatonix. Chance took his position & remains with the group today (baritone/bass). Chris has some great music on his solo channel now. He did a video with himself & the current HF guys in the Christmas song "What Child Is This?" it is absolutely beautiful! All these groups know each other. Avi (PTX) has been in a couple of HF videos & members of HF have guested on VP videos! Pentatonix set the bar high for the others to follow. They definitely have caught up to make the A Capella Trifecta! Personally, I'm a PentaFryPlayer! I love them all! 💞

The do-wop style and prison setting of this one reflect the original version of Unchained Melody which was written for a prison movie in the 50s. Avi Kaplan, Tim Foust (the first singer here) and Geoff Castelluci are the premier bass singers in acapella today. They all are basso profundo singers with incredible range up to tenor. You are correct on their style of video and their style of music. They specialize in subtle in the music. They aren't showy. They do what the sing needs and don't overshadow the song with the singers. When they won the Sing-Off the year after Pentatonix won it, they got a bit of grief because they didn't have a lot of choreography. They have kind of leaned into that characterization since. You will get three types of videos from Home Free. Serious songs they find a picturesque spot and just stand there and sing (How Great Thou Art, Brothers in Arms, etc.). Fun songs usually involve a cookout (Land of the Free, Hillbilly Bone, etc.) And some songs get funny and theatrical videos that make it hard to pay attention to the song (Brother, Butts Medley, Working for a Living, etc.)

Forget comparisons. They don't apply. You have been exposed to three of the four best a cappella groups in the world. Who is BEST? The group you are listening to at the moment. They are all fantastic. They each have their individual quirks, and styles, but they ALL share an amazing capacity for musical artistry. Pentatonix, Home Free, Voice Play. I personally think a fourth needs to be on your list... Voctave. Based on your appreciation of Disney, try reacting to anything Voctave does with a Disney theme... you WILL be blown away. I subscribed to you a while ago as you were starting your "a cappella rabbit hole journey." I'm glad you are enjoying yourself so much!

Kathy here, and Welcome to the Home Fries rabbit Hole! One of their best in my opinion, is God Bless the USA, featuring Lee Greenwood, who wrote the song and put it out in the 80's and then made a huge comeback after 9/11. It also features the US Army Choir and was filmed during the pandemic so none of them are in the same location. It is an amazing video! Please check that one out. And for some fun, Check out Butt Remix! That one is hilarious!!

Home Free has no designated lead singer. They choose the lead according to the song. The lead singer in this, Tim Foust is a bass with a 5 octave range. He can blow speakers with his low notes and sing tenor along with Austin Brown (the other lead singer) and Rob Lundquist (full beard and glasses). The other singer is Adam Chance (known as Chance) who sings bass to tenor (4 octave range). Their beatboxer is Adam Rupp who also sings tenor when not beatboxing. They have a fexibility to perform many genres, and they do. Welcome to Home Fry country. Enjoy the trip.

Welcome to Home Free. They sing all genre's but are most comfortable in the folk/country realm. They also sing a lot of originals. Chance (the baritone and occasional bass of the group) recently was commissioned by game company Ubisoft to write a theme song for their new game "Skull & Bones"....it's an awesome song. I prefer the live version over the lyric version.
