There’s no denying how much talent you’ll see on the internet. Just a quick search and you’ll find tons of videos that will really catch your attention. Some of them will simply take your breath away. Just take the case of Home Free, an American acapella group with five very talented members.
The splendid voices of the group take on a rather challenging song from the 60’s. And frankly, they did an extremely impressive job. Their performance is something you won’t forget anytime soon.
Just when you think the song couldn’t get any better, Home Free takes it to a whole new level.
That’s not really surprising. All of the five members of the group have formal musical training. At least three of them have bachelor’s degrees in music.
The group first came together in 2000 when they were still in their teenage years. And from there, they became such a huge hit worldwide.
Their journey towards success, however, wasn’t that easy. In one point, they auditioned for The Sing-Off and were rejected not once but thrice.
The fourth time was their time to shine. Having made that conscious decision to change their style and portray themselves as a country group, the casting director of the show finally gave them the attention they were hoping for. Performing I Want Crazy by Hunter Hayes, the group was able to wind that season and earn a recording contract with Sony.
Their story is a source of inspiration for a lot of people who are dreaming to make it big in the music industry. The way they persevered and never gave up led them to actually winning the competition and changing their lives for the better.
If you listen closely, you’ll realize that there are two sexy bass voices
In their rendition of the 1960 hit Ring of Fire, Tim’s voice actually sounded like burning fire. It was so good that you might think that he actually has a bass guitar in his throat.
Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix joins Home Free in this song cover and fans just can’t stop praising how good their collaboration was. Almost everyone was blown away by their performance and they share the same sentiments.

Johnny Cash would be proud of this cover of his song. your harmony is great and you have a new fan.
The setting of the video was well thought out, too. To mirror the theme of the song, the group actually filmed around a bonfire. The flickering of the light added drama and depth to their performance.
Home Free’s version of Ring of Fire was so good that it has over 29 million to date. They also have other song covers that have millions of views, too. The list includes All About the Bass, O’ Holy Night, Story of My Life, and Wake Me Up.
The band goes on tours around the country, too. If you look at their site, you’ll find their schedule a bit full. This just goes to show how their hard work, talent, and perseverance is paying off.
If you aren’t a fan yet, make sure to watch their awesome performance below and you quickly will become one.
