Harmon tells American Blues Scene: "I just got door after door closed in my face, but one thing that they all said was, 'You know, you're good, though. We really like you,' and what they liked more than anything was my feel as a musician because I was coming from the root.

"So even though they closed the door in my face, different people would always ask, 'Hey, can you play on my record? Can you do this session for me?' And because I didn't know anything about the business, I didn't know how to charge for it. So I ended up charging them very little money because I didn't know my worth. But it worked in my favour because it just got me more work because I was good and cheap.
