There was a performance space in the building where many concerts were held.

There have been many benefit concerts and much support for Byron and his shop. Apparently his main fiddle and Lloyd Loar Mandolin survived, and the band is playing even more than ever now.

I heard that they also have found a new home for Byron Berline's Double Stop Fiddle Shop and Music Hall to move to in order to start over again. It is just a few blocks from the original building.

i saw several web sites for Byron Berline and his shop, but most had a message that they had potentially been hacked, so i did not post them.
