Raised in Springfield, MA, Taj Mahal (born Henry St. Clair Fredericks) burst onto the national rock scene in the late 60’s after spending time in the folk and blues clubs of Cambridge and Los Angeles along with his frequent musical partner Ry Cooder.

His acclaimed albums on Columbia Records helped set the template for blues rock, with indelible classics like “Statesboro Blues,” “Leavin’ Trunk” and “She Caught the Katy” saturating the radio waves in the 70’s.

All throughout this time, Mahal was collaborating with a wide assortment of artists, playing with the Rolling Stones (and getting featured in their film Rock and Roll Circus) as well as learning firsthand from mentors like Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters and Lightning Hopkins.
