Tommy Miller and Bart Ray formed a musical/comedy duo in South Bend, Indiana in 2006. They called themselves "Money & Fame". In January 2008 they added two more musicians and became "The Money & Fame Show." They play a variety of music from the 50s through the 80s including oldies, classic rock and country/western. Their comedy has been compared to the Smothers Brothers and Rowan and Martin with a little Homer and Jethro thrown in! The guys range in age from 50 to 59. The drummer and youngest member of the show is Shannon Kling. Patrick "Dutch" Holloway holds down the bottom as bass player. Tommy Miller sings lead and backup while playing acoustic and electric guitar. Bart Ray, the other lead and backup singer is also the lead guitarist and is the oldest in the group.

At thirteen, Tommy won a local contest as a tap dancer and the prize was an all expense paid trip to to be on the Ted Mack Amateur Hour in New York City. He, later, learned to play guitar and sing before moving to Arizona. While in Tucson, he opened for the "Byrds", the "Spyders (Alice Cooper)" and played guitar with Billy Preston. He has since shared the stage with Gene Pitney, "The Easybeats", "The Buckinghams", "The Blues Magoos", "Questionmark and the Mysterians" and Jeff Bates. Bart has been playing various musical instruments since he was 11 years old. He did much work as a studio musician and song arranger for Capitol Records in California. While in Hollywood, he played for a short while with "Steppenwolf". He has shared the stage or performed with groups like the "Doors", "Spirit", Ricky Nelson, the "Beach Boys", "Vanilla Fudge, Sandler and Young, ""Steppenfetchit", David Romaine, Tom T. Hall, Tracy Byrd and Dan Seals. So with their backgrounds the guys said, " Hey, we've both had a little money and a little fame, so why don't call ourselves Money & Fame"?

Since forming, The Money & Fame Show has performed for the Indiana State Festivals Association Convention and the Riley Children s Hospital Benefit, both were in Indianapolis, IN. They have performed for many public and private clubs in the Michiana area. The group has been a hit in all venues. Their fan base and mailing list have grown by over 200 in the first three months of this year. Their new cd is scheduled to be released about mid summer and will coincide with press and radio interviews and reviews. A tour of hotels, clubs, casinos and festivals will follow the cd release.
