The Form is a group of 5 close friends who get together to write their own brand of music they like to call “Eclectic Soul Rock and Roll”…..  – The Fainting Room (band): Lisa Ridgely, guitar and vocals; Sara Moilanen, bass guitar and vocals; Ryan Elliott, guitar and vocals; Craig Mertes, drums.

Lisa Ridgely: A singer-songwriter who taught herself how to play guitar during her college years at UW-Milwaukee, Lisa continued to experiment with songwriting for a decade until an ovary-related health scare inspired her to face her fear of public performance and hit some open mics. Lisa has played with Sigmund Snopek at various local gigs and festivals including St. Patrick’s Day Irish music sets, Locust Street Days and Summerfest. Lisa has also sat in as backing vocalist with West of East and Chris DeMay.

After performing her songs as a solo artist for a few years, Lisa decided to expand her sound with a backing band, The Fainting Room. It was a very wise choice…… –  Ricky Ganiere is a dynamic songwriter who excels as both a singer and guitar player!
