Home Free in Concert
The award-winning a cappella sensation, Home Free, comes to Gustavus’ Jussi Björling Recital Hall for an Artist Series performance Saturday, November 6. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. and is open to the public. Conceived in Mankato, the ensemble features Mankato natives and Gustavus alumni, Chris and Adam Rupp along with Mankatoan Matt Atwood. Tickets for Saturday’s performance of Home Free are available online at gustavustickets.com or at the door one hour prior to showtime.
Home Free is a distinctive combination of comedy and music featuring five male vocalists with extensive theatrical and musical training. With a genre of music that covers an expansive mix of pop, jazz, classical and country, all songs are performed with only the human voice and microphones, resulting in a truly unique and incredible sound and each performance showcases a new, animated, and electrifying experience that draws audiences in, and leaves them amazed.
With four recordings on the market (From the Top, Kickin’ It Old School, and two Christmas cds) and an extensive touring and performance schedule, Home Free is quickly gaining the attention of the music public tuned in to the sound of five a capella voices. The combined talents of Rob Lundquist, Chris Rupp, Matt Atwood, Troy Horne and Adam Rupp create a warm and inviting tone and quality that masks the difficulty of “making it all come together.”
Home Free recently took first place in the Harmony Sweepstakes Chicago Regional and has performed for a diverse and extensive clientele, ranging from the Minnesota Vikings to Fortune 500 companies, Celebrity and Norwegian Cruise Lines, Allied Concert touring services, the Dutton Family from America’s Got Talent and many, many more. In addition to touring and performing, it devotes time to educating and encouraging music in the public schools through innovative workshops and concert fundraising. To date, its programs have already raised tens of thousands of dollars for schools in Minnesota through Music in Our Schools, a creation of Matt Atwood.
For a wonderful evening of music, join us on the Gustavus campus as we present Mankato’s Home Free in concert, Saturday, November 6, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in Jussi Björling Recital Hall. Tickets are available at gustavustickets.com or at the door. Invite your friends and enjoy Mankato’s award-winning Home Free in concert.
