This special occasion marks the release of the album “Spring Garden,” a posthumous release brought to life by IMMSF. The album holds deep meaning for family, friends, and all those touched by Ian McGuire’s extraordinary talent and passion for music. It’s a heartfelt tribute that allows us to carry on his legacy.

You will want to take advantage of the opportunity to be part of this momentous event. Tickets for the Album Release concert and a limited vinyl pressing of “Spring Garden” by Ian McGuire and Scotty Zwang are available at ArdmoreMusicHall.com. Immerse yourself in the mesmerizing improvisational music crafted by Ian McGuire and Scotty Zwang, with the collaboration of esteemed artists like Chuck Morris, Ben Karp, Paul Weinstein, Tim Knipper, Rick Lowenberg, Ajinkya Joglekar, and Aaron Dressler. This album is a testament to Ian’s brilliance, engineered by Ryan Edgar and produced by Jesse Miller of Lotus. Tommy Bradel’s artwork and Mike Ryan’s photos beautifully accompany the music.

All concert and album sales proceeds will support IMMSF’s mission of advancing music education and providing resources to connect youth, adults, and communities with music teachers and programs. Your attendance and contribution will make a meaningful difference.
