Home Free Does Travis Tritt’s Classic Justice
A cappella group Home Free has taken on another classic and made it their own. This time, they chose the 2000 Travis Tritt hit, It’s a Great Day to Be Alive. At the time, the song hit #2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and #33 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Home Free never seems to shy away from a challenge or any music genre.
Home Free’s first big break came in 2013 on NBC’s The Sing-Off, where they won first place, a $100,000 cash prize, and a recording contract with Sony. The five-man group now consists of vocalists Austin Brown, Rob Lundquist, Adam Rupp, Tim Foust, and Adam Chance.
Since then, the group has released ten different albums and taken several U.S. tours. They recently wrapped up the final leg of their Timeless world tour, which included 140 dates across 14 countries. Their journey continues with performances in Canada, the United States, and Australia.
Best known for their a cappella renditions of contemporary hits as well as their own original country music, Home Free is a fan favorite, nearing 300 million YouTube views. Their album Timeless even hit #2 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.
This well-produced video was recorded in Illinois during the fall, complete with brightly colored fallen leaves and a walk down a country trail. The scene invites you to curl up with a blanket and a warm drink as the group’s high tenor, Austin Brown, leads the performance. Set against a backdrop of crisp autumn air, campfires, and rustic charm, the video perfectly captures the song’s laid-back, feel-good energy.
Home Free’s rendition of It’s a Great Day to Be Alive is joyful and carefree—just what we need right now. Their ability to create a full, rich sound without instruments is nothing short of incredible, with harmonies that are spot on.
