This show was Matt's last performance at the Green Martini before she burned down a month later.  The Martini had been a regular gig for Matt since 2005.  

Sunday, February 11, 2012 
An early morning fire broke out and  destroyed the Green Martini 
Restaurant and Lounge.  The Martini was Concord's premier host for 
live music for nearly ten years.  It was owned and operated by Stephanie 
Rossman in 2003 when local musician Duane D'Agnese started performing 
there.  Duane is also a CPA and Stephanie was one of his clients.  In 
October, 2004, Duane bought 51% of the business.  He renovated the 
restaurant side and renamed it The Arizona Restaurant, introducing a 
southwestern motif and menu, and expanded live music to four nights a 
week.  A year later Duane became sole owner.  The present owner, Paul 
Faella bought it in November, 2006.  The menu changed, but the music 
continued.
Through all these years, the Green Martini opened its doors to musicians 
of all types.  The open mic hosted by Steve Naylor on Wednesday and Thursday 
nights provided "first time" stage experience for so many local singers and 
bands.  It was a musical melting pot for ideas and talent, and it will be 
missed by musicians and audience alike.  We all hope that the building can 
be salvaged, and the Green Martini will reopen.  Stay tuned, Concord.
