Chris Rupp and Tyler Walls Breathtaking 'Unchained Melody' Cover

Home Free, founded in January 2001 by Chris and Adam Rupp, along with Matt Atwood, Darren Scruggs, and Dan Lemke in Mankato, Minnesota, began as a hobby. Over the years, the group grew in experience and popularity, eventually pursuing music full-time by 2007. Known for their harmonious blend and intricate arrangements, Home Free captured national attention by winning the fourth season of NBC's "The Sing-Off" in 2013. Their final performance, an arrangement of Hunter Hayes' ‘I Want Crazy,’ earned them $100,000 and a recording contract with Sony. Their success continued with the release of their first major label album, "Crazy Life," in February 2014 and their latest album, "Crazy(er) Life," in March 2024.

Chris Rupp, after his significant contributions to Home Free, embarked on a solo career, further showcasing his versatile talent. His collaboration with Tyler Walls on ‘Unchained Melody’ highlights both artists' exceptional skills. Tyler Walls' ability to hit every high note with passion, combined with Chris Rupp's masterful piano accompaniment, creates an evocative and deeply moving performance. Tyler's voice resonates with the profound emotions of love, perfectly complementing Chris's instrumental expertise.
