Early life


As a child in Chicago, Miskulin displayed early signs of musical prodigy, spontaneously showing an interest in the accordion by the time he was four.[1] Beginning music training a year later, Joey was performing professionally by age eleven with the Ronnie Lee Band, and had his first recording produced by Roman Possedi at age twelve.[1] A year later, the boy would meet Frankie Yankovic, forming a personal and professional relationship with the man known as "America's Polka King" that would last a lifetime.


Performing career


Miskulin toured the United States with Yankovic as his featured accordionist for six years, writing and arranging songs between performances.[2]

In the 1990s, he rejoined Riders In The Sky, and with them is billed as "Joey the Cowpolka King".
