“So, the movie “Lake Effects” will wind up on television. The Hallmark Channel will shoot screen the movie — shot at Smith Moutain Lake — at 8 p.m. May 19. I wouldn’t care one way or the other, except that means that local band Barefoot West‘s music will be heard by a relatively wide audience.”

— Tad Dickens, Roanoke Times Music Blog

“Smith Mountain Lake-area musician Kyle Forry took a passing interest in the news of “Lake Effects” before a series of events thrust him and his band, Barefoot West, into a substantial role in the film. Production coordinator Chinah Jewell said the volume of e-mail was enough to get her attention. “We started getting these e-mails about how great Barefoot West was and that we should have them perform in the film,” she said. “The director saw them perform at the [SML] Wine Festival and they ended up contributing the most music to the film.” The band was asked to perform in scenes during filming and five of Barefoot West’s original songs were picked up for the movie’s soundtrack. “One of the songs that I wrote, ‘Rekindle,’ went along with the movie’s story line almost perfectly,” said Forry. “Director Michael McKay was very excited about that and said it was meant to be. If given the chance, Forry said the band would definitely participate in a film ag”

"Want to know what it’s like to see a band that lives their songs? Go see Barefoot West. Their singer Kyle Forry is a testament to honest storytelling within music. You can literally see his face change the second that first note hits his ears. It’s almost like each song instantly brings him back to whatever inspired the track in the first place. It’s engaging, rhythmic, and always full of heart."

“Roanoke Valley band Barefoot West has a movie gig, thanks to the in-production flick “Lake Effects,” which is shooting at Smith Mountain Lake. The band has been trying to get some of its music into the movie. Band leader Kyle Forry wrote in an e-mail today that he got a call last night from the assistant production manager, who asked the band to come out on Tuesday to a shoot at Fallon’s Pub & Grill. Forry wrote that he’s still not sure whether his music will make the soundtrack, but the band will definitely be in the movie. “After four years of playing at the lake for almost every weekend out of the year … it finally paid off. Haha!” Forry wrote. ” I’m definitely excited, and I hope we get to meet some if not all of the cast!” ”

I like your song You Are You Are, but as far as I can tell from your photos, you're all wearing shoes in every picture, and you're from the east coast ;-)
