What would you do if you, as a struggling rock ‘n’ roll musician, woke up one day to realize that you’re the only person in the world who remembers the Beatles’ songs?

In “Yesterday,” that’s the dilemma facing Jack Malik (Himish Patel), whose lack of success is very discouraging. His biggest fan is his devoted road manager/best-friend Ellie (Lily James), who’s obviously in love with him.

One night, just as Jack has decided to quit, there’s a mysterious 12-second global blackout. In the darkness, Jack’s bike is hit by a bus, landing him in the hospital.

When he recovers, his friends give him a new guitar, so Jack starts strumming “Yesterday.” His astonished pals act as if they’ve never heard that song before. Which, as it turns out, they haven’t. No one has ever heard of the Beatles. Google only comes up with images of bugs.

The Huntertones performed at the Levitt Pavilion tonight. The high energy horn-driven group was founded in Columbus, Ohio and currently is based in Brooklyn, New York. Their signature sound is a marriage of inspired improvisation and adventurous compositions that meld jazz, funk, soul, hip-hop, R&B, and rock. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Contributed photo

To mark the closure of the award-winning Westport Historical Society (WHS) exhibit “Remembered:The History of African Americans in Westport,” the society today hosted an unveiling ceremony of the names of over 200 enslaved persons who made up an essential, but often overlooked part of Westport’s history. Each name has been inscribed on a brick in the WHS brickwork as a permanent part of the town’s heritage. Descendants of enslaved African-American Westporters were in attendance as guest of the WHS.
