Columbia Records’ country quintet Home Free warmed hearts this morning (12/15) on FOX & Friends with a special rendition of the winter classic “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” from their holiday album, FULL OF CHEER. Adding to the spirit of the season, portions of the performance were featured split-screen with footage from their music video showing soldiers reuniting with their families for Christmas. The time-honored holiday favorite, recorded in 1943 by Bing Crosby, was originally in tribute to the soldiers overseas during World War II that weren’t able to make it home for Christmas. Home Free is currently in the midst of their sold-out HOME FREE FOR THE HOLIDAYS Tour running through December 20 and will embark in January for their European debut.

The five-man band from Minnesota, comprised of Austin Brown (high tenor), Tim Foust (bass), Rob Lundquist (tenor), Adam Rupp (vocal percussion/beat boxer) and Chris Rupp (baritone), dropped their debut album CRAZY LIFE in 2014, which hit No. 1 on iTunes Country chart and No. 4 overall. The release of their third studio album, COUNTRY EVOLUTION has elevated the band “from auxiliary entertainment to headlining attraction” (Times Leader) and hit No. 4 on the Billboard Country Albums chart. Produced by longtime collaborator Darren Rust, the deluxe version includes five originals and nine new renditions of hit songs that showcase the band’s extraordinary talents, tight harmonies and intelligent arrangements that are uniquely their own. Founded in 2000 during collegiate years, Home Free has been perfecting their live show for nearly a decade performing together for packed crowds at major fairs, colleges and theatres.
