Silent Barn

As you can see in the above photo by Nicole Brydson, firefighters were on the scene at Bushwick music venue Silent Barn tonight. According to obfvscate, and somewhat evident in the pictures, an apartment upstairs caught fire. Jack Greenleaf confirmed that all of the venue’s residents are safe.

The event inside Silent Barn tonight is Freak Out Fest which is now officially over for the night, but continues on Saturday at ABC No Rio and Sunday at Cake Shop. As of this post (11pm Friday night), the show is on hold.

UPDATE: more shows are cancelled and Silent Barn has issued a statement.
