After finishing high school and bouncing around New Zealand with his guitar for eighteen months, Masashi Hara returned to Japan, settled in Tokyo and started the band Georgie Pie. The year was 1993 and Masashi was seventeen years old. Named after the famous, and now defunct, NZ restaurant chain, Georgie Pie's original line up included keyboards and vocalists- but all that changed the day Masashi saw Jimi Hendrix's Monterey Pop video.

Restructuring the band as a power trio, Hara set out to change the face of the Tokyo blues scene. Offering authoritative covers of great American blues tunes and soulful originals, Georgie Pie fast became Tokyo's premier electric blues club band. Rarely playing an established set list, Masashi and Georgie Pie extended the American blues format for avid listeners in Tokyo's hottest clubs, their free-form jams paying loving tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter and other guitar greats, while adding powerful self-penned blues paeans of their own. With the release of their new album featuring the hit song Jump, and their appearances at prestigious events like The Japan Blues Carnival, Georgie Pie have solidified their reputation as the hardest rocking blues band performing today.

The summer of 2000's brief tour of Baltimore and Chicago was followed by a more extensive tour of the West Coast during the summer of 2001. Rave reviews followed explosive shows at clubs in Washington, California and Texas, further exposing American audiences to the future of rock and roll.
