When country a cappella band Home Free was crowned Season 4 Champions of NBC's “The Sing-Off” this past December, their victory was by no means the beginnings of a career for the five country stars from Minnesota. Rather, it was a satisfying culmination of nearly a decade of hard work and commitment to a vocal craft growing in popularity. Founded by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp during their college years in the early 2000s, Home Free had been perfecting their live show for years prior to “The Sing-Off”—performing together for crowds, on college campuses, at festivals and in theaters all across the country. It was their experience on the road that carried them to a “Sing-Off” victory, swelling their fan base and bringing their homegrown country style into a national spotlight. Home Free continues to entertain audiences with their high-energy show peppered with quick-witted humor that meshes Nashville standards with pop hits dipped in country flavor.
