“Grim, sweet, elegant… Gawain and the Green Knight stand out from the indie folk crowd in the passion and panache they bring to their characters”—Merry-Go-Round magazine
Gawain and the Green Knight are a folk duo, but they're also a homemade valentine to that cute ghost in your attic.
Made up of married couple Alexia Antoniou (guitar) and Mike O’Malley (Irish bouzouki), they've been performing together since 2018, during which time they’ve played before beautiful backdrops of 19th-century quilts at the Folk Art Museum, been featured performers at Big City Folk Song Club, and were presented by the Eclectic Train Wreck radio show during the 2021 Folk DJ Emerging Artist Showcase.
