About Home Free: 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 NBC’s "The Sing-Off" -- performing together for packed crowds at major fairs, colleges and theaters. It was their experience on the road that carried them to a Sing-Off victory, building their fan base and bringing their homegrown country style into the national spotlight. For the five talented singers from Minnesota their win was a satisfying culmination of nearly a decade of hard work and commitment to their vocal craft.
