Summer has come and gone, but the live music season isn’t slowing down. There are plenty of don’t-miss shows on the way. Here’s a look at 10 of the biggest and best shows coming to town this fall.

Willie Nelson

He turned 84 this year, but he hasn’t slowed his touring schedule much. Or his recording schedule. In April, Nelson released “God’s Problem Child,” his 72nd studio album. Nelson co-wrote seven of its 13 tracks; it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard country chart the week of its release. This show is a makeup date for a show in June that was postponed by inclement weather.

Tickets are $40.45 to $180.45.

When Todd Romero and his two young sons ride through their East End neighborhood on the way to school or soccer practice, they make a game of picking their favorite mini-murals — the popular artworks painted on traffic control signal boxes across the city.

Romero, a University of Houston history professor, appreciates the lessons mini-murals can offer about significant characters from the area’s past, including Staff Sgt. Macario Garcia, the first Mexican immigrant to receive the U.S. Medal of Honor; and Mason Park founder John P. Mason.

Eight-year-old Alec and 5-year-old Elias, however, love anything colorful and fun. Their hands-on favorite mini-mural depicts the cartoon character Speedy Gonzales, who is the mascot of “Los Bomberos de Houston,” the firemen of Station 20 on Navigation.

Because that one has Spanish language on one side and English on the other, Romero concedes, “It does a nice job of encapsulating the neighborhood.”

As happens with any public art, however, the mini-murals also have detractors.
