The beautiful harmonious blending of Home Free’s a capella sound is a treat to hear any time of the year, but their holiday hit «Do You Hear What I Hear?» has garnered more than three million views for a good reason. Their rendition of this classic Christmas song is absolutely astounding.
Filmed in a beautiful, crisp winter setting at Lake Castles in Minnesota, Home Free’s version of «Do You Hear What I Hear?» is a gift to us all this holiday season. The five members of this band sing surrounded by walls of ice and snow, making the backdrop as beautiful as their voices sound coming together in perfect harmony.
Home Free features five vocalists: Austin Brown, Rob Lundquist, Adam Rupp, Tim Foust and Adam Chance. This group of incredible guys has performed all around the world after winning The Sing Off in 2013.
Their version of Hunter Hayes’ «I Want Crazy» helped them win $100,000 and a recording contract with Sony. This group has skyrocketed in popularity and has a rapidly growing fan base, which is why it’s no surprise everyone has fallen in love with their rendition of this particular Christmas song.
The song «Do You Hear What I Hear?» was originally written in 1962 and released shortly after Thanksgiving for the holiday season, selling tens of millions of copies ever since and has been covered by hundreds of different artists. It actually was co-written as a plea for peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The song first was recorded by the Harry Simeone Chorale, a group that also popularized «The Little Drummer Boy.» That first Christmas season of its release, it sold a quarter-million copies.
During the following holiday season, legendary singer Bing Crosby accelerated the song’s popularity when he released his version. The song quickly became a holiday favorite thereafter.
Home Free’s amazing a capella rendition will quickly become your favorite with their unique a capella sound. They beautifully capture the spirit of the song and the season.
