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. 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. 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.
Miskulin toured the United States with Yankovic as his featured accordionist for six years, writing and arranging songs between performances.
In the 1990s, he rejoined Riders In The Sky, and with them is billed as "Joey the Cowpolka King".
