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.
The group is fantastic and the smaller venue (Wibur Theater Boston) made the show even more enjoyable.
Really fun show - they are truly excellent performers, and I adore the banter and fun in between songs. Family friendly show - sort of pushing up from PG to PG13. Concert was a good length, with an interval. Definitely felt like they gave great value for money, and they really made it seem as though they were giving the performance 110%. These men know how to show their fans a good time. Also, their merch/VIP guy is incredibly adorable and sweet. Just saying.
Great show. Very entertaining. I would love to see them again and would recommend to others. Also loved the local group from Berklee!
Very entertaining. Would still love it if they did some oldies!
Home Free is talented, zany, entertaining, and hot! If you have the opportunity to see them, grab it. You won't be disappointed.
They were amazing and love the small venue as well as glad we could meet all five of you. So great if they had enough stars I would give you 1000000000000000000000000000000000 stars
Each of the five members is a superstar in his own right, and the combination is nothing short of magical. The performance was one of the best I have ever attended, not just because of phenomenal musicality, but also because of enormous stage presence. It's clearly evident that Home Free are all having a blast, and that translates to the fun the audience has. The voices blend beautifully, but when solo they are extraordinary. Home Free not only writes its own songs, but when they do a cover, they make it their own. Wonderfully entertaining, full of personality, and their voices blow the audience away. If you were not watching, you would not believe 5 voices could present all of the amazing sound that they do. A+++++
What a great show. So much energy in the crowd due to the excitement of watching Home Free preform. they were great. I enjoyed their playfulness in addition to their sound.
These guys are SUPER talented - great music, beat boxing like no other, and funny to boot! The biggest disappointment was when Tim Faust mentioned they have no plans to return to Boston in their next tour. I certainly hope this changes - it would be a big loss for Boston! Terrific show!
I was wowed by Home Free Vocal Band's performance at the Wilbur Theatre. Each member of the group had delightful stage presence, and the audience was treated to a real show. Every number was wonderfully choreographed, and the spotlight shifted seamlessly from one performer to another, as the lead vocal changed throughout songs. HFVB delivered a healthy helping of humor with their songs, clearly to the audience's delight. Adam Rupp's beat-boxing "Drum Solo" was outstanding. For more than six minutes, he presented a one-man show which could have convinced a person who wasn't looking that there was a full drum set on the stage.
From the first moment when they opened in the dark with Cruise, their voices soaring out of the darkness, straight through to their moving encore performance of God Bless the USA, we were all caught up in the magic of the amazing voices, presentation, incredibly low bass, and beat boxing that is Home Free. Tim rumbled us out of our chairs, Adam blew us away with his 'drum solo', Austin's voice soared, and Chris and Rob amazed with the clarity and power of their vocals. We were expecting a great show, but this was beyond great, a moment in time that I will never forget! Please bring them back soon!
They are Awesome!! TV or YouTube doesn't give these guys justice they deserve.If you ever get a chance to hear them live got for it!!
They came out strong from the beginning & keep the audience involved & entertained the entire show
Their voices were beautiful; their interactions with one another were funny. It was a great experience that made my week!
Great vocals but the lighting used was not necessary. My husband gets vertigo so when the strobes started panning the crowd, he had to listen more than watch as he had to cover his eyes. I don't have that problem but found myself covering my eyes in some instances. A calming backdrop (there was not backdrop at all) and less lighting would have created a more enjoyable experience and allowed us to be swept up in the beautiful vocals that were enjoyed by all. The drummer vocal was over the top!
This was the second time I have seen them in concert and they topped earlier concert which I thought was great. Every member was featured so individual talents could be enjoyed. But the magic was with their variety of music, their combined voices and choreography. First visit to Carolina Theater was impressive. Lots of friendly staff, very comfortable venue, parking across the street and only $3.
I LOVE Home Free. Can't wait for them to come back!!!
Really enjoyed the band. Went with a friend and drove four hours to get there. It was worth the drive. We both enjoyed the show and wish it was a little longer. This band is really good and I would go see them again.
All I can say is that we thoroughly enjoyed the Home Free concert at the Carolina Theater in Durham, NC. The theater itself has been beautifully restored, and it's small enough for a more intimate experience. The two times we've been there, the attendants and ushers have been very friendly and helpful. Home Free's performance only added to it. They have great voices and were fun to watch perform. We can't wait to see them again!
This group gave a fantastic performance. The harmonies were tight and consistent. There were no weak links. It was a fun and fast moving show.
