Country music’s most successful a cappella act is heading to Central New York. Home Free — the five-man vocal band that turns harmony into a full-throttle country show without a single instrument on stage — brings the Highways and High Seas Tour to Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona on Friday, August 14, 2026 at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale now.
About Home Free
Home Free won the fourth season of NBC’s The Sing-Off in 2013, walking away with a Sony recording contract and a six-figure prize. More than a decade later, they’ve turned that competition-show win into a genuine touring career — racking up hundreds of millions of YouTube views and a fanbase that follows them across the country. What sets them apart live is the sheer mechanics of it: bass-deep low end, lead vocals out front, and percussion built entirely from a human beatboxer. No band, no backing track, just voices.
The Highways and High Seas Tour is their 2026 headline run, supporting the 2025 album Challenge the Sea. The tour kicked off in March, so by the time it reaches Verona in August, expect a show that’s been road-tested and tight — country covers, originals, and the kind of crowd sing-alongs that make a vocal group feel a lot bigger than five guys with microphones.
Venue Info
Turning Stone Resort Casino is Central New York’s marquee entertainment destination, and its showroom is the kind of mid-size room where a vocal act like this actually lands — close enough that the harmonies hit clean, big enough to feel like an event. The draw here is the full night out: hotel rooms, restaurants, and gaming all under one roof, which makes a Friday show an easy weekend trip from Syracuse, Utica, or the Mohawk Valley. Check the Turning Stone venue guide for parking, seating, and access details.
