Philadelphia's Brian Seymour will once again be performing an acoustic set of his original music on Tuesday, June 23 at Cotton's on Xinhua Lu during the Shanghaiist Happy Hour, which runs from 6 to 10 p.m.

Seymour is in town doing a series of shows at the House of Blues & Jazz — it's called "The Piano Has Been Drinking" and he's playing, naturally, the piano and singing the music of Tom Waits. For us, he'll be playing guitar and performing songs from his albums.

As usual, the Happy Hour features free entry and 2-for-1 specials on selected drinks.

"Pure pop for now people — given our love of jangly guitars and well-crafted pop, it's a natural that we'd dig Brian Seymour's new CD, Perfectly Wrong. It's all right: raspy vocals, intense delivery, inspired songwriting."

— The Philadelphia Inquirer

"From his early acoustic based material to the more exciting new pop leaning songs, Brian is a musical force to be reckoned with both locally and nationally."
