Local musicians, Emily Eastwick (autoharp) of Pearl River, Vince Rivas (mandolin) of Suffern, Richard Hawthorne (bass) of Dover Plains and Wild Bill Jones (guitar) of Ramsey, NJ, have entertained in the area for many years. As a group, "The Mountain Oysters" sometimes play music in the bluegrass, ole timey, and crossover tradition. Each musician brings their own unique style to every performance.

"Rare, too, is the way The Broken Circle Breakdown incorporates music into its narrative. The songs traditional bluegrass and country, and a clutch of new ones rooted in same are as integral to the characters and their relationships as is the dialogue." Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
"The Broken Circle Breakdown," like the bluegrass music girding it, has a way of evoking any number of emotions. It is at turns sweet, romantic, funny and heartbreaking. More than anything, though, it's just plain affecting, a profound tale of love, loss and in the end life, in all its bitter beauty."
Mike Scott, The Times-Picayune
