New Music Venue Opens with Help from Longtime Music Community Member

After 20 years of volunteering as a concert promoter for Arden Gild Hall in North Wilmington's Village of Arden, Ron Ozer has stepped into a professional role in programming at Elkton Music Hall, located just over the state line in Elkton, Maryland. The new venue will open its doors on July 15, 2023. 

The first show at this brand new 300-seat capacity venue — housed in an entirely renovated 100-year-old storefront in the original downtown — will be a celebration of big bands from the Philly and DC areas.

The group Cosmic Guilt, a WXPN favorite (WXPN radio is also supporting this show), brings their Laurel Canyon vibes from Philly to Elkton after selling out two shows in Arden last year. DC-based Oh He Dead comes to Elkton after stellar performances at Peach Festival and SXSW.

Just added is beloved Delaware-born stage, film and TV star Johnny Gallagher with a solo acoustic set as the first artist on this new stage.

Ron says he is thrilled to be working with venue owners Ric and Katie to bring major artists like Son Volt, Jerry Douglas, and Low Cut Connie to town!
