Early life
As a child, the only child of Slovenian and Croatian parents,[1] in Chicago, Miskulin displayed early signs of musical prodigy, spontaneously showing an interest in the accordion by the time he was four.[2] 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.[2] 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.[3]
In the 1990s, he rejoined Riders In The Sky, and with them is billed as "Joey the Cowpolka King".
