Biedermann said that while acoustic guitar pioneers such as Michael Hedges, Bert Jansch, Leo Kottke and Ralph Towner are considered to be major influences on his music, he has been influenced by many other lesser known originators of finger-style acoustic guitar. He also said that he plans to interact with the audience as he attempts to demystify the mystery of instrumental music.
