Jeff Bagwell Hall of Fame Weekend at Minute Maid Park
Friday, 7:10 p.m.
501 Crawford

It was a smashing success for Craig Biggio. Now it’s time for another Houston Astros legend, who finally made it into the National Baseball Hall of Fame — in his seventh year of eligibility — to step up to the honorary plate. Jeff Bagwell Hall of Fame Weekend will give props to the first baseman and 2017 inductee into Cooperstown during the Astros’ weekend tussle with the Toronto Blue Jays. The first 10,000 fans attending the opener of the three-game tilt can snatch a 1997 Bagwell replica jersey, while folks who stick around until after the final out will be treated to post-game fireworks. For information, call 713-529-8000 or visit astros.com. $16 to $150.

Woody Sez: The Life and Music of Woody Guthrie at Stages Repertory Theatre
Friday, 8 p.m.
3201 Allen Parkway

He was a womanizer, drank too much and, as a result of Huntington’s disease (inherited from his mother), was a person who had a hard time controlling his temper in his later years. He was also an American icon, probably our greatest folk-song writer. He was Woody Guthrie, most famously known for “This Land Is Your Land” and his chronicles of Dust Bowl life. Now coming to Stages Repertory Theatre in a regional premiere is Woody Sez: The Life and Music of Woody Guthrie, a musical covering many of the points of the singer-songwriter’s life along with close to 40 of his songs. For information, call 713-527-0123 or visit stagestheatre.com $21 to $56.

Incubus at Cynthia Wood Mitchell Pavilion
Friday, 8:45 p.m.
2005 Lake Robbins

The math of summer tours can make for strange bedfellows. If you want to sell a venue like The Pavilion, you need a bill that will pull in enough people to justify the space while still making some sort of musical sense. Incubus and Jimmy Eat World do not immediately come to mind as natural tour-mates, but as survivors of early-’00s rock radio, it makes a kind of sense. Both have buckets of hits while also having new records to support, both leaned closer to the softer side of rock radio and both know how to put on winning performances. Hell, “Drive” and “The Middle” are cut from the same “Don’t Stop Believin’” cloth. The bill gets an energy boost from newcomers Judah and the Lion, who, like their music or not, leave it all on the stage every time they perform. For information, call 281-363-3300 and visit incubushq.com. $29.50 to $99.50.

Beyond the Pines Music Festival at Sam Houston Race Park

For only its sophomore year, Beyond the Pines certainly has grown; it's outgrown last year's venue, grown in audience numbers and grown in the amount of talent it has packed into its Sunday lineup. Aaron Watson headlines the event after following up the honky-tonk-loving lineup of Jon Wolfe, Anderson East and Shotgun Rider. Sam Houston Race Park just hosted Cody Johnson late last month, proving summer is clearly the season to throw on your two-steppin' boots and head to a country concert.

311 at Revention Music Center
Sunday, 7:30 p.m.
520 Texas

Gone are the days of 311 front man Nick Hexum's frosted tips, but immortalized are the lyrics "amber is the color of your energy." Those are the lyrics that, played at any given moment, will transport you to a beachside cabana and with a cold Corona in hand. If that mind-scape doesn't suffice, however, then there's an actual destination in town, Revention Music Center, where 311 will perform that very song live for you to enjoy with other beach-minded concert-goers. For information, call 713-225-8551 or visit reventionmusiccenter.com. $37 to $138.
