about

round robin round (Abi Sandy, Crystal Zhu, Sasha Stolasz) formed for the first time to play the Edinburgh contra dance in May 2025. Since then, Sasha's experience with the Appalachian old-time style has become a strong influence in the trio, the counterplay of Abi and Crystal's Scottish tune repertoire. Both styles are distinctly evident in their music and intentionally woven together, creating a palette of contrasting sonic colors with which they paint the stage. The band's combined experience throws a wide net, between debuting at Celtic Connections, playing for contras all across the US (from BIDA to Chicago), and teaching lessons, workshops, and fiddle camps. 

Sasha Stolasz

(she/they)

Sasha Stolasz is a fiddle player from Sisters, Oregon. Introduced to traditional music at the age of four by her mother, she grew up going to camps throughout America and she attributes those experiences to the musician that she is today. These camps let her experience a variety of traditional styles including Scottish, Irish, Scandinavian, Old-Time and a smattering of others. Her love of music also brought her to the cello and the banjo. She recently graduated from the University of Edinburgh and has spent the past two years exploring the traditional music scene of Scotland. While in Scotland she had the opportunity to play a show at Celtic Connections and became a member of the University of Edinburgh Folk and Traditional Music Society committee. She has been attending Sierra Fiddle Camp since she was five and is honored to be on the faculty this year.
