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.

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.
