NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Musicians Mary Ann Palermo and Dave Smith will present a live performance of their recently released album, "In the Night," on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at 7:00 p.m.

The event will take place at Studio 9, located on the Porches Inn campus at 18 Viazie Street in North Adams.

"In the Night," released in late 2024 by Averosa Records, features Palermo's vocals and Smith's Steinway grand piano interpretations of jazz standards and lesser-known classics. The recording was engineered and produced by Smith.

Palermo stated that they are pleased to debut the album at Studio 9, citing the venue's Meyers Constellation sound and recording system as conducive to replicating the audio quality of the album in a live setting.

The album comprises eight American jazz ballads and torch songs, with Palermo's vocals and Smith's piano accompaniment. According to the announcement, the recording aims to create a sonic environment that enhances the emotional tone of the songs.

Palermo's vocal interpretations are described as a new take on familiar and obscure jazz songs. Smith's piano playing is presented as his interpretation of these classics, combined with his audio engineering expertise to optimize the balance and clarity of the music.

Tickets for the event are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Event information is available at https://studio9porches.com/performance/studio-9-presents-mary-ann-palermo-and-dave-smith-in-the-night-album-release-performance/.
