Known to many as the frontman of ‘90s Athens mainstays the Star Room Boys, local singer-songwriter Dave Marr has spent two decades cultivating his unique brand of country-tinged Americana, equal parts revved-up honky tonk and alt-folk pathos.

Psych-rockers New Madrid headline Friday’s Athens Area Habitat for Humanity benefit.
