Response from Matt Miskie:

This event is in my top 3 for the most fun of all time !!!!
David and i collaborated on the set list for his sister's surprise retirement party for days while he was on vacation - 7 time zones away !!!!
For other logistics I connected with his niece Jennifer.
Communication was great. Day of event we made adjustments while i was en-route for pending iffy weather. Family and friends were delightful. Lots of laughs, dancing and singing - and Jennifer's husband brought out an accordion to accompany on several songs - and he was GREAT !!!
Thank you David and Family for entrusting me with your special event.

Generous Professional

The Annual Pennsylvania Firefly Festival has had the privilege and benefit of Matt's talent and generosity for 2 years. He consistently delivers an entertaining and engaging show. He uses his musical talents to revive the old standard folk/rock covers, and yet his originals seem like old favorites.

The hit of the party!

My guests absolutely loved Matt and his music! Everyone enjoyed getting up to dance as well! He was perfect for our parent's 50th anniversary! He even took requests and played their favorite Elvis love songs!

Professional, entertaining, responsive!

Matt has sung for us at the Historic Old Annville Day for the past two years and I recommend him highly. His repertoire is vast and varied, including some of his own compositions. And, his arrangements of popular covers make you want to listen like you’re hearing that favorite song for the first time.

He offers that wonderful combination of business professionalism, musical ability and audience interaction we who book talent always yearn for but only sometimes get. He is prompt, he’s a joy to listen to, and he is not fazed by the little glitches that always pop up.

Matt Miskie Excellent Performer

Matt is obviously an excellent performer, but is very flexible and a great person to work with. I'd highly recommend him in a festival setting, and as the music coordinator for our town's Fall Festival, it's always nice that I've received many kind words about Matt's performances.

Sensitive, Sensible Musician

Matt Miskie is a natural. He plays with a keen self-awareness revealed through both his music and his general demeanor: he is sensitive to the environment in which he plays; this speaks to honest musicianship. Matt is kind, receptive, and gentle with his music and with people. I hope to hear him again!

We've booked this guy 4 years in a row!

Matt is a great performer. He shows up on time, delivers a great set of awesome covers and well written originals. We've had him at the "Haycreek Festival at Joanna Furnace" in Morgantown, for 4 years in a row now, and have him booked already for next year for this event. We never fail to get compliments from people for having him back. His performance is easy to listen to and relate to, and his style is timeless, appealing to young and old alike.

Matt Miskie Entertains at Appalachian Trail Festival

Miskie brought his folksy style to Duncannon, PA, delivering an interesting collection of original tunes about his love for nature, the outdoors, and his native Pennsylvania. His pleasant voice and engaging stage presence provided a fitting atmosphere for the Duncannon Appalachian Trail Community's celebration of the Appalachian Trail, that national treasure that passes through this rural Pennsylvania town.

Sound-Sational Birthday

Matt entertained for my father-in-law's 80th birthday party. I can't say enough about what a wonderful job he did. Everyone at the party has been talking about his great singing and the selection of music he played. He was very personable and we definitely would recommend him to anyone that is thinking of having him perform at a special event/occasion. We will definitely be calling him again.

We want to thank Matt for making a special day even more special. He was everything we were hoping for and more.

A Crowd Pleaser

Matt is an engaging performer who is great with an audience. Conversant about his songs and their inspiration, he is a master storyteller and his set holds your attention. Speaking as a venue owner, Matt is a pleasure to work with. He is prompt, polite and professional. It is apparent that he cares about his craft and has put in the time to hone his considerable skills. I highly recommend him for whatever event you are considering a singer/songwriter for.
