It's been close to three years since Philadelphia based musician Brian Seymour (http://www.brianseymour.com, http://www.myspace.com/brianseymourmusic) last visited us, but he's back. And he's playing an exclusive acoustic set of his originals Tuesday night at the Shanghaiist Happy Hour at Cotton's on Xinhua Lu. As usual, the Happy Hour runs from 6 to 10 p.m. and features free entry and 2-for-1 specials on selected drinks. Brian's set will kick off at around 7:30 p.m.

You can also catch Brian in action tonight (and the following two Mondays) at the House of Blues and Jazz near The Bund ... doing a piano-based set of Tom Waits covers. Definitely worth checking out.
