With the tender tenor of Rob Lundquist, he can highlight any deeply emotional ballad. Lundquist, make up one-fifth of the acapella country music group, Home Free. He joined the group in 2008, and ever since then, they’ve been lighting up any theatre they’ve been with their killer harmonies that send fans into a frenzy at all times. Home Free won the season, by performing songs like Florida Georgia Line‘s “Cruise,” “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash, and more.
Current member Rob Lundquist, another Minnesotan, joined in 2008. Home Free was performing on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, where Brown was working as a singer, and they all became close. At the time, Brown said he would be interested in joining the group if there was ever an opening, which happened in 2012, when Atwood decided to leave the group to spend more time with his family. Home Free has collaborated with many notable artists. In 2015, they were featured on Kenny Rogers' final album Once Again It's Christmas, performing "Children, Go Where I Send Thee" with Rogers.

Home Free had to learn at least three songs for every episode as well as choreography to go along with each song in a very short span of time. Before their success on the Sing-Off, Home Free was touring at fairs and festivals across the US, as well as stints on cruise ships. In January 2016 they embarked on their first tour outside North America with stops in Birmingham, UK; St. Andrews, Scotland; and London, UK .
He has a good vocal that stuns the audience and was featured in many articles because of this. Shawn Stockman from Boyz II Men, one of Rob Lundquist’s musical idol, commented that he could “never lose that beard,” and it changed his life forever. What’s even crazy is that there is a Twitter profile out there dedicated for his beard, it’s called Rob’s Beard @BeardFree. He is also grateful for his voice teacher, Rachel Inselman, who taught him all the essential skills in how to sing correctly. He used all the techniques Inselman taught him to make sure he won’t blow out his vocal cords, since all the activities in the competition were very taxing on one’s voice, singing from eight to 12 hours a day, every day. “Without those experiences, I think I really would have struggled on the show,” Lundquist said.

Also in 2020, Home Free collaborated with Lee Greenwood and the Singing Sergeants of the United States Air Force Band in a recording of Greenwood's hit song "God Bless the U.S.A.". The song was released on June 30, 2020, and reached #1 in digital song sales as of July 18, 2020.

I am writing to request that Home Free perform “The Impossible Dream” as its poignant words were written for times such as these. All five of Home Free's singers have formal musical training. Lundquist and the Rupp brothers all have bachelor's degrees in music. Adam Rupp's primary instrument is trumpet, but he also plays drums, keyboard, and bass guitar.

The five men of Home Free join Mark Wills for a powerful performance of ‘Don’t Laugh At Me.’ This country song was an instant hit for Mark after it’s release in 1998. It received multiple award nominations and the inspirational message reminded us all that we are perfect in God’s eyes. Home Free Vocal Band–Five beautiful voices making music worth the listen. Just as your performance of “Proud To Be An American” brought tears to our eyes, the song “The Impossible Dream” deserves to be honored by your talents.
The campaign met its initial funding goal in nine hours and stretch goals were added for further funding. The pre-filmed concert was streamed from December 2 to 5, 2020, and featured guest appearances by Alabama and The Oak Ridge Boys, among others. On March 18, 2016, it was announced that, after sixteen years of performing with the group, co-founder Chris Rupp would be leaving to pursue a solo career. He would be replaced after May 8 by Adam Chance, formerly of Street Corner Symphony.
It’s hard to imagine Brown being anything but a singer, but it wasn’t his only career choice. Brown comes from a long line of construction workers, and once thought he might follow in their footsteps. Rob Lundquist can make a killer cocktail — or at least, he used to be able to in his former life. After graduating with a degree in music, he worked as a bartender at Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota, before officially joining the group in 2008. The earliest inception of Home Free began in 2000 in Minnesota, with Chris Rupp, along with his brother, Adam Rupp, Matt Atwood, Darren Scruggs, and Dan Lemke.
To replace Horne they turned to Tim Foust, who first sang with them as a guest on their 2010 tour. A Texas native, Foust was then pursuing a career as a singer/songwriter of country music and had recently released a solo album, but was not ready to sign on full-time. Matthew Tuey sang with the group in the interim of 2011, until Foust joined them full-time in January 2012.
The Sing-Off wasn’t the last surreal moment Foust experienced as part of Home Free. The group has since been able to sing with several famous artists, including Lee Greenwood, Kenny Rogers, Don McLean and others. They also had a chance to perform live with the Oak Ridge Boys and Alabama as part of their Warmest Winter holiday special.
