Salsa Wednesdays at the Steel BBQ Pig

Salsa Dance Wednesdays with Live Salsa Music

Steel Pig BBQ - 8904 Aurora Ave. N. - 206-524-9600.

Admission $5 - Ladies free

Wednesday night live music with SALSARIBA & DJ. Free lessons.


About the Steel Pig BBQ:

The Scene
This cheery joint goes one step further than most barbecue places–it looks like an actual decorator has offered some advice. Bright yellow walls, colorful murals and long communal tables are pleasing without detracting from the real reason everyone's here: The meat.  And now on Wednesdays…the salsa dancing!!

The Food
Come hungry–even small plates come with an array of sides and fresh, sweet corn muffins. The sauce here is decidedly on the sweet, vinegary side. Ribs fall right off the bone, and the baked chicken, slathered with mild, sweet sauce, defines the word "succulent." Kids and North Carolina natives will love the sauce, but spice lovers should request extra heat. Fried catfish has a crispy cornmeal coating, while the pulled pork is gussied up with an excellent toasted French roll. Opt for potato salad or mac and cheese for sides.

Jerry Rivera Live at Showbox Seattle, Seattle salsa dance, salsa dancing Seattle

Jerry Rivera Live in Seattle

 

July 11, 2008

 

Showbox (sodo) 1700 1st Ave. South  Seattle WA

 

About Jerry Rivera:

 

Geraldo Rivera Rodriguez was born on July 31, 1973. Jerry is originally from Humacao, Puerto Rico, but he grew up in Levittown, near Toa Baja on the central northern coast of the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. Siblings include Saned, Edwin, Ito, and José, who all have careers in salsa (one of his brothers was with Puerto Rican Power). Edwin "Pino" Rivera, his father (a trio singer), made the demo tape when Jerry was just fourteen and a half years old. In an interview with Maria Conchita Alonso (for "Al día con Maria Conchita"), Jerry talks about how sure his father was that he would succeed. He and his father sing together in the trio songs "Entrega" and "Hiereme sin compasion" in the most recent production "De otra manera." Jerry is also accompanied by his father's trio in his latest CD "Jerry Rivera para siempre." Jerry's first CD, "Empezando a vivir" came out when he was only fifteen. In his ten year career, Jerry has compiled quite a resumé, not limited to the musical arena.
