Don't get Lara Ewen's folklike voice confused with singer/songwriter Jewel, although they sound almost exactly alike.

Although the singer was born and raised in New York City, there is nothing city about this girl. She has a very bluegrass feel to her music. Her music is real, raw and very heartfelt. There is nothing modern with her music, just a soothing voice with a guitar.

Her voice can be soft, but can also change very drastically into a fierce, powerful yelp. And although being bluegrass, she has no country twang to her voice whatsoever, just clear, strong meaningful vocals, that anyone can appreciate.
