Columbia Records’ Home Free Makes Opry Debut

Columbia Records’ Home Free made their debut at the Grand Ole Opry on Friday night (July 17) and were warmly welcomed with a standing ovation. The Season 4 winners of NBC’s The Sing-Off performed their unique spins on Tom Cochrane’s “Life Is A Highway” and Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire.” Immediately following their set, Opry Vice President and General Manager Pete Fisher invited them back for another performance.

“We were overwhelmed by the crowd’s response during our debut at the Grand Ole Opry. We were just honored to be among country royalty in Vince and Larry on Friday,” said Home Free’s Tim Foust. “We never imagined we would receive multiple standing ovations and get invited back on the spot!”
