Haliburton County is the kind of place that kind of sneaks up and wins you over with its natural wonders, vast recreational opportunities and welcoming people. That's what happened to Laurie Sweig when she moved here six years ago. She fell in love with the peace she found here. Now, the songwriter is giving back to her adopted home by way of music, penning not one, but four songs about Haliburton County, entitled theHaliburton Highlands Harmony Project.
Sweig worked in marketing prior to moving here, then soon began volunteering at the CanoeFM recording studio. Having gained confidence using audio software, she decided to create four songs that would capture the essence of the area in all four seasons. Now, one of her collaborators jokingly calls her the ‘Vivaldi of Haliburton'.
Full disclosure: This CanoeFM reporter tried her hand at back-up vocals for this project, then interviewed Sweig and others about the project.
