Soulshine Rhythm Experience Leads Inclusive Community Drum Jam in Cedar Park

A two-hour community drum jam led by Soulshine Rhythm Experience brought neighbors together at Veterans Memorial Park in Cedar Park, providing drums and basic percussion for attendees from 5:30-7:30 pm on Sunday, Feb. 22, 2026. If you attended, be aware Cedar Park Public Library photos may be used in city publicity and staff ask that you notify them if you do not wish to be photographed.

The session was presented under the "February 2026 Community Drum Jam" billing and organized by Soulshine Rhythm Experience, whose founder Suzy Turner is described on the Cedar Park Public Library calendar as "a skilled world music percussionist trained in multiple, evidence-based facilitation methods." Soulshine’s promotional copy for the park jam encouraged participants to "Bring a Chair! And a smile," and positioned the outdoor circle as inclusive and participatory.

Cedar Park Public Library listed a related program labeled "Community Drum Circle (13+ only)" with a separate date and time: Monday, Feb. 23, 2026, 6:30-8:00 pm at 425 S. Parkwest Dr., Cedar Park, TX 78613. The library’s event page reiterates that "No musical experience is required" and that "This program is for ages 13 and up only," while adding that seats are limited and attendance is on a first come, first served basis.

Organizational and logistical details were explicit: the Veterans Memorial Park location appears in listings as 2525 New Hope Drive, Cedar Park, TX 78613 (also shown in one listing as 2525 W New Hope Dr), with the park location noted in promotional copy as "Near the dog park." The library calendar and Soulshine listings confirm instruments were provided and attendees were asked to "Just bring your heartbeat, your good vibes and the rest will follow."

Accessibility and publicity policies for the library-hosted sessions were published alongside the program. The library notes that ADA accommodations are available with advanced notice and provides an accommodations information form, and it posts a photography notice stating "Visitors may be photographed. These photos are for Library use and may be published in City publicity materials. Notify staff if you do not wish to be photographed."

Soulshine Rhythm Experience’s site listings also show ongoing related offerings in the area, including Fitness Drumming for active adults 55+ at Leander Senior Center, 709 Municipal Drive, Leander, TX 78641, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00-11:00 am and a Strength Training class from 11:15 am-12:15 pm, as well as an online Radiant Reset series that began the week of Jan. 26 with an initial meeting Jan. 29 at 7:00-8:00 pm CST. These listings indicate the Cedar Park jam is part of a broader slate of local and online community rhythm programming.
