NASHVILLE, TENN. (March 5, 2019) — All-vocal Country entertainers HOME FREE pose the age-old question, “Why Does It Have to Be (Wrong or Right),” in the exclusive video premiere of their vulnerable take on Restless Heart’s top-charting hit on PopCulture.com today (3/5).

Available now to stream and download (Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon), watch the adjoining music video, as tenor Rob Lundquist leads the acclaimed quintet as they deep-dive into a two-timing kind of love. Staged in a vibey neon-lit warehouse in Nashville, TN, Home Free’s smooth vocals drive the hard-pressing lyrics, as bass Tim Foust further shared the band’s connection to the song with PopCulture.com.

“Restless Heart broke boundaries with this song, not only being a bit controversial with the content, but by adding the Pop genre in a market that was straight Country at the time. It was a rule breaker – but aren’t those the best kinds of songs?” said Foust. “We also admire Restless Heart for their incredible harmonies, so we wanted to make sure we stepped up our own. I swear I’ve had this song stuck in my head since the ‘80s, and we’re all just huge fans.”

Home Free is gearing up for the release of brand new music this spring, as they’re amping more original tunes on their fifth studio album. Fans can expect additional details on the project soon.

Racking over 140 dates in total across more than 14 countries, the multi-year tour caps off on May 11 at the Saenger Theatre in Mobile, AL.

“This was definitely one of the most fun videos we’ve ever done. I was so excited to have the shoot in my hometown surrounded by the people I’ve known all my life,” says Brown. “It was like a giant reunion, and I loved getting to have my family host our Home Free road family. I hope everyone has as much fun watching it as we did making it!”

Home Free Celebrates “Timeless” Love With New Video

All-vocal Country sensation HOME FREE is ushering in Valentine’s Day and celebrating longtime love with their new music video for their original tune “Timeless.”

The group chose seven endearing couples to be featured in the touching clip that they felt embody “timeless” relationships. Each couple recounts their love story and fond memories as they recreate meaningful photos from their pasts together – going as far back as 1964.

“We didn’t warn anyone ahead of time that they would be interviewed, which we think lead to some really heartfelt moments,” says Austin Brown, the group’s high tenor. “These are pairs that have stood the test of time and that’s what we strive to do in our own relationships. Having everyone revisit their important moments really brought the song to life.”

Watch Home Free’s “Timeless” video, exclusively on PerezHilton.com here.

Written by Eric Arjes, Lizzy McAvoy, and Mark Nesler, “Timeless” is the title track from the quintet’s latest studio album, which debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and is available on all digital retailers. Home Free is currently prepping for the second leg of their wildly successful TIMELESS Tour, getting underway March 1 in Baton Rouge, LA and including a recently-announced hometown performance in Mankato, MN on May 13.

HOME FREE PERFORMS HOLIDAY CLASSIC “I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS” ON FOX & FRIENDS THIS MORNING (12/15)

Pictured: Home Free with FOX & Friends show hosts Anna Kooiman, Steve Doocy & Brian Kilmeade

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.

[Video] A Closer Look @ Home Free | Interview & Show Review

Yesterday we sat down with country sensation Home Free just before their show at TPAC in Nashville on Dec. 13th to discuss their new album, favorite Christmas memories, favorite holiday dishes, and much more!

Get to know this incredible country vocal group who first gained national attention and won fans’  hearts as the winners of NBC’s “The Sing Off” in the video below.

The show itself was a great mix of country classics with a new twist, original tunes, and Christmas favorites.  Their delivery was absolutely mesmerizing with solid harmonies all throughout their performance.  It’s pretty incredible what they are capable of doing with just their voices alone.  In-between songs, they light-heartedly interacted with the crowd keeping the concert going at a great pace and effortless flow.

@homefreeguys singing a Christmas favorite tonight at TPAC in Nashville! #HomeFree #Christmas

A highlight of the evening was the drum solo segment minus the actual drums featuring the beatboxer of the group, Adam Rupp, that was met with a standing ovation.

Some amazing beatboxing from @homefreeguys tonight! #HomeFree Watch them tomorrow on #TheTonightShow!

Definitely a show worth every penny that I would gladly see again!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars. 

Watch them tonight on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” as they join icon Kenny Rogers for a music performance that you don’t want to miss!
