Sunday afternoon, May 28th, the power trio GEORGIE
PIE thundered onstage at Hibiya Ampitheatre's Japan Blues Carnival.
Opening with the instrumental 'Tool Box', from their latest
self-titled CD, Masashi Hara, Hiroyuki Kaise and Hideyuki Umezawa
cranked up the volume and rocked a sold out crowd with their
own brand of high-powered electric blues. Masashi Hara, whose
guitar skills bring to mind such greats as Jimi Hendrix and
Stevie Ray Vaughn, left no doubt that he is a major force to
be reckoned with in the guitar hero business. Backed by a solid
rhythm section, Hara leaned into his 58 Strat and churned out
45 minutes of no-holds-barred rock'n'roll.
The 2000 event marks Georgie Pie's second appearance at the
Japan Blues Festival, which was this year highlighted by blues
legend Buddy Guy.
