Home Free on Tour
Though Home Free are primarily considered a country group, the quintet's concerts are quite a bit more. First and foremost, they're a vocal act in the a cappella tradition, which means they know how to make five voices sound like a full band even without any instruments on the stage. They pull off this impressive achievement by incorporating lush harmonies, beatboxing and vocal counterpoint that harkens back to doo-wop and barbershop. While recent years have found Home Free moving toward a more country-based sound, with a repertoire that includes the likes of Vince Gill, Blake Shelton and Maren Morris, they also venture into plenty of other areas when they perform live. A cappella versions of tunes made famous by Ed Sheeran, Shakira or The O'Jays are just as likely to enter their performance repertoire.
Home Free in Concert
The a cappella phenomenon known as Home Free came into being in Mankato, Minnesota, in 2000 when five young men, including brothers Adam and Chris Rupp, joined their voices together for the first time. Their repertoire was all over the map, including country, pop, soul and rock 'n' roll. The group eventually hit the road hard, and began releasing albums on their own label in 2007 starting with From the Top. But things changed in a big way for Home Free when they won the TV competition show The Sing-Off in 2013. By that time they'd become more country-oriented, and after earning a record deal with Sony/Columbia their albums started regularly entering the upper rungs of country charts. Several personnel changes occurred over the years, the biggest when Chris Rupp departed in 2016, but in their current incarnation Home Free still bring the a cappella magic to the stage every time.
Excellent experience and a GREAT SHOW!! My daughter and grandkids Loved it!!!!
They were amazing! I loved how they interacted with the crowd! Their performance was unforgettable.
Saw Home Free twice before in home town of JACKSONVILLE FL. This 3rd time I saw them in Huntsville they talked more and sang fewer songs. They are still awesome but you could tell it was the end of their tour and they were tired. Still a big fan!!
Home Free is a group who consistently delivers a fabulous show! The songs are "singalongable,"the harmonies are super tight and spot on, the energy is high, all the members get their moment in the spotlight to shine, so there's no "superstar"while the rest stay in the shadows! If you get the chance to see Home Free in concert, you will NOT be disappointed!!
Home Free put on a great show!!! They are VERY Talented!!! We really enjoyed it.
Perfect harmonies and brilliant beat boxing. A high energy show that left me buzzing for hours afterwards. Clapped and sang and laughed. Well worth travelling to the US to see.
It was a fun and great concert. I would love to see them again.
We dove nearly 4 hours to attend Home Free's concert in Kalamazoo, MI and it was worth every bit of the drive. Home Free is my favorite band ever (and this is coming from someone who was a Beatles fan way back in the '60s). The theatre was beautiful with its ornate plaster work from 1920's. I'm glad the band didn't shake it loose with their amazing voices. We loved every minute of it.
They are SO much fun to watch in person. They interact with the crowd throughout the whole concert and are just such nice guys! And the music is absolutely amazing! I espececially like tht they take turns addressing/talking to the crowd so you get to really see each one's individual personality, as well as their tremendous harmony together. GREAT JOB YOU GUYS!
What a great show! I only wish it would have been longer...but then I would have felt that way, no matter how long it was. Amazing talent in 5 superb entertainers. The Kalamazoo audience was wonderful, lively and enthusiastic. Great evening!
