HOME FREE TRIUMPHS WITH BACK-TO-BACK, SOLD-OUT TIMELESS RELEASE SHOWS
All-vocal Country sensation HOME FREE rolled out the red carpet to welcome their new album TIMELESS – released 9/22 – over a jam-packed release weekend highlighted by SOLD-OUT homecoming celebration performances.
“TIMELESS is such a special album for us in a lot of different ways, and we wanted to celebrate it surrounded by our incredible fans who have been with us for years,” says Tim Foust (bass). “We took our time making this album and are so proud to share it with them, our families, and the communities of Minneapolis and Nashville that have embraced our music.”
In Nashville Monday (9/25), the group performed at the CMA Theater at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, while more than 23,000 fans followed along via the group’s @CMA Instagram stories takeover. TIMELESS producer Darren Rust, songwriter Arlis Albritton (co-writer, “When You Walk In”), and Straight No Chaser member/songwriter Mike Luginbill (co-writer, "It Looks Good") were in the audience, as well as friends and family who traveled from around the country for the anticipated evening.
Saturday night (9/23) they took the stage in front of a hometown crowd at the Pantages Theatre in Minneapolis where they debuted new songs, stage design, and lighting for their electrifying live show. The TIMELESS WORLD TOUR kicks off Friday (9/29) in Boise, ID.

A standout moment of both evenings was a Q&A session from the stage, where the band took time to field audience questions and talk about the album-making process, how they develop their signature all-vocal style, and their passion and appreciation for songwriting (Foust co-wrote TIMELESS track “It Looks Good”).
Monday night’s performance was the cap of a full-tilt release tour that included stops at Fox & Friends, FOX’s After the Show Show, FOX News Radio, and Facebook Headquarters in New York City, and a nationally broadcast performance of “The Star Spangled Banner” ahead of the Minnesota Vikings/Tampa Bay Buccaneers face-off Sunday (9/24) in Minneapolis.
