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 couple has notably DJ'd for Japanese bands like legendary girl group 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.

Over the course of the pandemic the duo has made ripples in the ever-swelling Upstate New York surf scene creating a crazy beach party atmosphere at the 3rd Annual Franklin Alley Luau for the Underwater Bosses and Ohana freshmen, The Jagaloons! Hoping to make bigger waves up and down the Hudson River, Wayne Manor & Hardly Quinn are ecstatic for their return to the exotic at Ohana 2022!

Brother Cleve began to study and resuscitate the classic cocktail after experiencing a "cocktail epiphany” in 1985, while touring the U.S. with Boston rockers The Del Fuegos. In 1988, he emerged as one of the original forces of the Cocktail Revival, serving up Golden Age classics, between tours, to a world trapped in Mudslides and Sex On The Beach (a decade later he was behind the bar of the influential B-Side Lounge). By 1994 he was traversing the globe as keyboard player with lounge music pioneers Combustible Edison (SubPop Records), a band which had a Campari sponsorship and whose fans were dubbed The Cocktail Nation (go watch the Tarantino-produced/directed “Four Rooms” to hear the bands exotic musical soundtrack).

During the last 25+ years, Cleve has built upon his original interest and has expanded into cocktail creation as well as bar management and consulting. Growing up in the 1960's/70's, Cleve was no stranger to the world of Polynesian or "Tiki" restaurants and libations. He spent 10 years creating tropical drinks while working as a bartender on a private estate in St Barths, French West Indies, and continues to create pour drinks, as well as DJ, at numerous Tiki festivals around the world.

Gaylord 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.
