Circle of Toads
Who We Are
MIke Freeland
Guitar & Vocals
Mike is a Toledo, OH native but has called Manassas, VA home for 44 years. Playing guitar since high school, he cut his teeth on folk and pop music and then power rock until experiencing the jam band sound of the Grateful Dead.
Mike enjoys playing and singing all genres of music and constantly challenges himself with guitar solos when the band allows it.
Dave Hamilton

Dr Dave grew up in "small town" PA, the son of a music store owner. He started playing bass guitar in grade school and married his high school sweetheart after college. His earned academic credentials include PhD Neuroscience, MSEE, & BSEE, and worked most of his career in AI/ML engineering. Having recently retired,
Dr Dave is now enjoying spending more time on neuroscience related research, traveling, volunteering, and playing bass with "Circle of Toads".
Kel Muzzin
Keys, Vocals, Percussion
Kel Muzzin (she/her) likes playing music. A lot. She's been playing since the age of 8, when Mrs. Howell started coming to the house to teach her piano. Now she teaches piano to a bunch of people at her music studio, and tells them all how awesome it is to play in a band.
Bill Stejskal
Guitar & Vocals
People who listen to Bill perform often ask, “What the hell?”. They have a point, of course. After a decades-long career as a forensic psychologist, there’s just no good reason for him to be doing this at all. But, he seems to enjoy it, so everyone just agrees to keep their mouths shut when he’s around.
