The Surfrajettes
What’s thicker, our eyeliner or our guitar strings? The Surfrajettes are a four-piece instrumental combo from Toronto, ON, Canada. Since forming in late 2015, the band has charmed audiences with their clever mix of psychedelic rock and reverb-drenched surf music, sky-high beehives, go-go boots, and eyeliner as thick as their guitar strings. The band has toured extensively in its support, including performances on The Beach Boys Cruise, The Melissa Etheridge Cruise, at Sea.Hear.Now, Nashville Boogie, Wild O Fest in Mexico City, The New England Shake Up!, Surf Guitar 101 Convention, Tiki Oasis, Hi Tide Summer Holiday: Asbury Park... and Ohana, Luau at the Lake!
The Clams
The Clams are a surf instrumental band from Connecticut who have been playing since 2002. They fuse the classic California surf sound with TV/film and pop favorites along with a host of mid-century-esque original tunes. The Clams have played hundreds of shows throughout the northeast, they have released six albums and provided soundtracks for two short films. Band leader Dano Clam has attended most of the luaus at the lake and is super excited about performing for so many friends and extra fun folks. The Clams can't wait to lay down some groovy sounds for you!

DJ Gaylord Fields
DJ Gaylord Fields has hosted a wildly eclectic radio program on Jersey City, NJ freeform station WFMU for 30 years, but as a live disc jockey he takes on a decidedly groovier persona. He has spun lounge/exotica/easy listening/bossa nova/go-go and more from coast to coast and overseas — and for the past few years at his beloved Ohana: Luau at the Lake. Gaylord is equally adept at ’60s soul, twist, surf, beat, and girl group sounds, and he would never turn down a ginger beer while he's on the turntables.

Hailing from the north shore of Ohio, Ms. Mittenclips turntables have graced the likes of Speak of the Devil, Tiki Underground, MaiTai Mayhem, The Moonglow Lounge, The B-side and of course, Ohana
DJ Stately Wayne Manor & DJ Hardly Quinn
The Stately DJ Wayne Manor & DJ Hardly Quinn are a dynamic record-spinning duo infamous for blasting 60's garage & surf, 50's rockers and the occasional punk 45 from familiar places to exotic locales. They have appeared at the Tiki Oasis 2019 Car Show and made their debut at Ohana Luau at the Lake in 2021. The duo has notably DJ'd for Japanese bands like legendary girl group The 5.6.7.8's as well as spookabilly combo Bobby's Bar whose frontman Noaya Kawakami has made a splash in Tiki circles for his lowbrow monster mashup artwork. In 2022, they spun their kooky collection of tunes poolside at the Hi-Tide Summer Holiday.
