This Week's Destination: Mission Point Resort
We took a delightful trip to the iconic Mission Point Resort on Mackinac Island, a place where history and luxury blend seamlessly. This week, we were in for a spectacular musical experience with none other than Yuri Pool and his incredible show, The McCartney Years.

Guest Spotlight: Yuri Pool of The McCartney Years
Yuri Pool is the mastermind behind The McCartney Years, a world-renowned tribute act that brings the legendary music of Paul McCartney to life with stunning authenticity. Known for their spellbinding performances and attention to detail, The McCartney Years have captivated audiences around the globe, and now, they’ve brought their magic to Mackinac Island.

Episode Highlights:

1. A Chat with Yuri Pool: We sat down with Yuri to discuss the inspiration and dedication behind The McCartney Years. Yuri shared how his love for Paul McCartney's music and his uncanny resemblance and voice have driven him to create a show that’s as close to the real thing as possible."It's an authentic, live concert experience of Paul McCartney's music from the Beatles to Wings,” Yuri explained. “What you're going to see is a show that goes back in time. It's almost as if you see Paul McCartney live in the 1970s. We perform on many of the original instruments that they played at the time. The lighting, the stage clothing, the harmonies, everything is live. Nothing is pre-recorded. And it's as if you step back in time and enjoy the music again or for the younger generation (they get to) enjoy it for the very first time.”
2. Behind the Scenes: We got a sneak peek into what it takes to recreate the magic of McCartney's 1970s tours. From vintage instruments to era-specific stage setups, Yuri and his band leave no stone unturned to ensure an immersive experience.
3. The Show Experience: Live at the Mission Point Resort Theatre, The McCartney Years deliver a dynamic, mesmerizing performance that’s family-friendly and accessible with tickets priced at just $25. Whether you're a long-time fan of Paul McCartney or discovering his music for the first time, this show is a must-see.
