The score for Truth About Kerry was written by composer
Ciaran Hope, who is best known for the soundtracks to many films, including
The Letters, Screw Cupid, Hollywood Horror, and Grace. The original score featured a collection of instrumental and vocal soloists mixed with electronic musical instruments to create a variety of soundscapes. Contributors included celebrated Irish violinist
Cora Venus Lunny, soprano Anne Cecere, Rich Ploucher on violin, viola & cello,
Colm Ó’Snodaigh (as
Kíla) on whistles & flutes, fifth-generation Irish Uileann piper Kevin Rowsome, acoustic guitarist Jamie O'Connell, world-renowned Canadian percussionist Satnam Ramgotra,
Ciaran Hope on woodwinds & piano, and the Lalo Guerrero School of Music Choir. Working in close collaboration with the director and producer, Hope also utilized his ties with the Irish music industry to piece together a soundtrack with a distinctly Irish indie vibe, featuring songs by Irish bands Seneca, The West Seventies, Steve Gregan,
Kíla,
The Stunning, The Good Fight, Petrol, Eject and
Shaun Davey's local Kerry band, Beal Tuinne. One additional musical track ("Cry for the Last Time") was provided by
Marina V. A subsequent soundtrack album was released by Pangea Music Inc in 2012. The score was also nominated for
Best Impact of Music in a Feature Film at the 2012 Park City Film Music Festival. == Cast ==
