"Matt’s down-to-earth presence and style of communicating is an audience favorite…" “I felt like I was just sitting in his living room and he was talking to me like I was family.” – Barbara, Sugarloaf Your music made the weekend really special for us. Your amazing repertoire, beautiful arrangements, precision of your finger picking and soulful voice are a magical combination. I hope we cross paths again and I can't wait to get home to listen to your CDs. Thanks again, Justin Wilner - Sugarloaf Festivals vendor - DannyK Handbags - Los Angeles CA Old Annville Day - Annville PA By Lee Smedly 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. Community of Lebanon Association Music Week - Lebanon PA By Theodore K. Umble 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! Haycreek Festival - Morgantown PA By Jeremiah Wright 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. Pennsylvania Firefly Festival - Allegheny National Forest - Tionesta PA By Peggy Butler The Annual Pennsylvania Firefly Festival has had the privilege and benefit of Matt's talent and generosity for 3 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. Fall Foliage Festival Weekends - Jim Thorpe PA By Daniel Hugos 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. Private event - Chester Springs PA By Carol J. Matt entertained for my father-in-law 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. Private event - York PA By Melissa C. 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! Contact to request a sample set list

Matt has played at various venues in my area. He also played at my home twice. His music is amazing. While he plays my kind of classic rock and folk music, his own music and the personal stories of where his songs come from makes it so real. He is just authentic, as is his music. I’m planning on having him at my home again this summer.

First met Matt when he performed at a winery near my home. I indicated that I coordinate a multi day event for Combat Wounded Purple Heart Veterans and we welcome musicians. He immediately volunteered. In 2019, I joined the committee for my 50th reunion at Penn State. We needed a "relevant" musician for our school years. I introduced the committee to Matt through his website music, and he was hired. One of the committee members was the previous long time Blue Band director! Enter COVID, reunion postponed, Finally, we held a Trifecta Reunion with the classes of '70, '71 and '72. Even with a supersized committee, Matt was chosen to perform. His performance was two part, he played at a reception prior to dinner and again during dinner, when there were no speakers. This required two separate performance locations which he had coordinated with the Penn Stater team. The transition was seamless and his music was played through the entire room of 300 people!

Matt performed at both a work function for me and a family function. At both events, with a wide range of personalities, and he was very well received at both events. We are hiring him again for our work/client party. Great song selection and great audience engagement even as background. If I could have chosen all 5 attributes above I would have--responsiveness and punctuality were great as well.

I have know Matt for over 20 yrs… not only is he a fabulous artist and musician, he is a great person. I have seen Matt perform at many location over the years and he alway connects with his audience wherever he performs. I recent got married (May 13,2022) and he performed at our wedding. He was a crowd favorite and many of my friends/guest have now become “Matt fans” .. THANK YOU Matt for a wonderfully memorable and “prefect” wedding … your performance and presence was greatly appreciated and wonderfully received from all our guests!! Matt is the best!!
