From Writer’s Block to Sold-Out Shows – Jed Harrelson on Imposter Syndrome, Passion & Building a Tribe

In Part 2 of my conversation with Nashville artist Jed Harrelson, we dive deep into the real emotions behind the grind—imposter syndrome, creative droughts, and pushing forward even when it feels like nothing’s working. Jed opens up about his relationship with writer’s block, why showing up matters more than feeling inspired, and how one viral video changed everything for his band.

We also talk about building community, the role of his wife and team in his journey, and the story behind his hit song “Bad Habits” (spoiler: it started as a “piss jam” during long brunch gigs). Jed shares the moment he knew he had something special when 150 people sang his lyrics back to him at a show, and how it reminded him that passion, grit, and consistency are what keep the dream alive.
