They did the sound track for Ubisoft's Skull and Bone

[debbiehall]

This is a great debut for Adam Bastein. He has a great voice.❤❤❤❤

[LynnRamsay]

This is the first video with their new high tenor Adam Bastien.
Their former high tenor Austin Brown left in June of this year
Home Free is a very humble bunch of guys and love the Homefries ( their fan base ).

[kmwwrench]

And there's that Home Free smile. How could you not smile at this? Great introduction for Adam Bastien. Love it.

For video games, check out Skull & Bones. Home Free did the title song for the game of the same name! They have 3 different videos for it: a lyric video over cut scenes from the game, a live video from when the company had a major announcement about the game, and a live-action video featuring the band. It is an Adam Chance original.

Fantastic! Just like I knew it would be! I'm excited to see more of the energy and smiles Bastien brings to the group. They made a great choice for this addition to the group. People need to realize he wasn't picked to replicate Austin . No one could do that. He was picked for the great things he can add. It definitely helps he has a history with them. You can see how comfortable they seem together. Thanks for the Home Free reactions!

Love this song. It’s a cover of a Bonnie Raitt song but HF also writes and sings their own songs too. They were introducing Adam Bastien as their new lead tenor as their other tenor, Austin Brown, just left the band for personal reasons. They have been around for over 20 years and won the Sing Off in 2013. If you like playing pirate games they just wrote a new song called Skull and Bones for the Skull and Bones game for Ubisoft. It’s great!

[momD]

Ubisoft gaming actually asked Home Free to write & record the song fir a new game called "skull & bones". They did it & absolutely crushed it!!! There are 3 GREAT videos of it. Pick one or just d9 all 3. 😂❤❤❤

[barbarakennedy]

The lead singer in this video is a new member of the group, and this is his first video with Home Free. His name is Adam Bastien. He replaced the longtime high tenor of the group, Austin Brown.
Home Free now has three members with the first name 'Adam' so they will be called by their last names for clarity.

[minneyruth]

Bastien fits in well ❤❤❤ love when reactors introduce people to #HomeFree ❤

[dagmar.]

They did a great cover of one of my favorite Bonnie Raitt songs. Bastien's voice was perfect for the lead. Everyone sounded awesome in the background vocals, with Tim's bass & Adam's vocal percussion. Looking forward to more of the new songs with the newest member.

[audreyjohnson]

Another video that highlights their fans is Everybody Walking this Land.

@TeacherPaulReacts it's time to start a Home Free Playlist on your channel! As others have said this is the first video with their newest member (yet another Adam) - Adam Bastien - hence the sign in the background "2 Adams 2 Many" LOL! Adam Rupp is the original Adam and one of the founding members of Home Free. Adam "Chance" joined in 2016, when Chris Rupp left the group (brother of Adam Rupp and co-founder); just recently Austin Brown has left, and so Adam "Bastien" has recently joined. If you're keeping score the current line-up in order of longest tenure:
Adam Rupp - beatboxer/percussionist extraordinaire
Rob Lundquist - high tenor, aka Gospel Rob, amazing whistler (beard/glasses)
Tim Faust - basso profondo, notes that will rattle your chest and break speakers
Adam Chance - baritone/bass, silky smooth, great story-telling voice (beard and ball cap in this one)
Adam Bastien - new high tenor, featured lead in this one

With approaching 200 videos (maybe more by now) their catalogue is deep and varied with many genres. Songs that will have you toe-tapping, smiling and laughing and some that are heartbreakingly beautiful and sombre - from silly to serious and everything in-between #HomeFree does it all and never disappoints! We "fans" are called Home Fries and with over 1.76M subscribers there are many around the world. Concerts are a must if they are in your area. They're not too $$ and are "not a concert but a party" per Tim, which is so true and so much fun!

My Top Suggestions (in various categories) - suggest always watch to the end of their videos, sometimes they'll have an important message or tell you more about the song etc.:

COVERS (we call them Upgrades!):
I Can't Outrun You - brilliant video concept and direction by Change; pure, gorgeous 5-part harmony
One Man Band - video shot in 1-take
Stand By Me - perhaps the best take on an old classic, giving it new life - just WOW
Take Me Home, Country Roads - they worked on this arrangement for 5 years, until they felt that had it "just right" - I'm sure John Denver would approve
Castle on the Hill - a great song and a fun video, beautifully arranged and sung
Brother - a really fun video; suggest you watch/react to it twice, once for the crazy antics in the video; and then a second time for the musicality/lyrics - it's hard to concentrate on both in one go - the Home Fries won't mind
End of the Road - featuring "Gospel Rob" at his best
Blue Ain't Your Colour - a rare video of them with some smooth dance moves
When a Man Loves a Woman - featuring Austin (done during Covid) - phew!

COLLABORATIONS:
American Pie feat. Don McLean - done separately during Covid for the song's 50th anniversary, at Don's request!*
God Bless the USA feat. Lee Greenwood and the USAF Singing Sergeants - also done separately during Covid for the song's 25th anniversary!
The Horses feat. Travis Collins and Amy Sheppard - filmed in Australia once travel restrictions were lifted
One Voice feat. Billy Gilman - tissues recommended; watch to the end for an important message (which shows the guys' heart)
Don't Laugh at Me feat. Mark Wills (note, his daughter joins in at the end) - another emotional but important message (ditto per above)
*Vincent feat. Don McLean - their most recent collab. with Don, on perhaps his most beautiful, poignant song

ORIGINALS:
Dreamer, LIVE at the Ryman feat. Texas Hill - note, there are 3 videos for this song but I like this one as it's LIVE and has a fun mid-song breakdown/intro of everyone
Might As Well Be Me (by Tim) - please pause to read their "bios" and written answers, it will add to the hilarity!
These 3 in this order as there's a thread from one to the next:
1. Catch Me If You Can
2. Dive Bar Saints; and
3. Leave This Town
Then Austin's Stargazer Trilogy:
Chapter 1 - Give Me A Sign - praying for new love
Chapter 2 - Stargazer Lilies - dreaming of new love; and
Chapter 3 - Mr. - new love found; then...
Playing With Fire - what happens with new love, LOL!

LOVE SONGS/BALLADS:
Heaven
Yours
Die A Happy Man
Cover Me Up - watch to the end
Amazed
Bless the Broken Road

Thanks for reading. There are so many more to explore in each category, this truly is a short list but will show you what they can do!

[SBQDawn]

Home Fries are a nation, Not a club. We Welcome everyone that Loves our Guys !
just sayin' I'll be subbing for more Home Free

[jeffreyjacobs]

Home Free does this very well. No one can touch the Great Bonnie Raitt - her rendition is the standard and absolute pinnacle

[MonguSu]

Speaking of soundtracks for games, HOME FREE did a soundtrack for a popular Game by the name of "Skull and Bones" that you should check out.
