One World Music Festival Has New Home - Resort Ranch at Lake Travis

The One World Music Festival announced today that it is moving the venue
for the three day music festival across the street from the original
site. The new location at Resort Ranch is a short walk  from the
originally planned site at Camp Chautauqua, and is just outside of Pace
Bend Park at Lake Travis. The move was made because Resort Ranch can
accommodate the entire show, camping and parking for the weekend music
festival all in one location.  

The Festival's organizers also announced the addition of some very
special surprise guests for the Saturday, September 14, bill, which
already includes John Trudell, Toots and the Maytalls, Spearhead and the
legendary Bunny Wailer, along with Killer Bees and Zulu Spear. On the
Friday show, starring James Brown, Los Gatos Negros with Ian Moore, and
8750 Reggae Band, the festival has added Homegirls and the DJ to the
early lineup. The Sunday bill featuring George Clinton's Mothership
Reunion with the P-Funk All Stars, De La Soul, Fishbone, Zuba and Buddha
Base Process remains the same.

The Austin One World Music Festival, which will take place September
13-15, 1996 is dedicated to environmental and cultural preservation and
will still benefit the Chautauqua Foundation. A percentage of the
festival profits are dedicated to the Chautauqua River School
Scholarship Fund,  a program which has been designed to give every fifth
grader in Austin Public Schools the opportunity to come out to Camp
Chautauqua for two days to learn how to be with nature and have fun. The
One World Music festival also invites twenty different environmental and
cultural preservation groups to participate in "The Preservation
Pavilion," a space where they can connect with people who want to learn
what can
be done to save our planet. An intenational food and craft bazaar,
camping, hiking and biking will help create a unique multicultural,
multi day end of summer funky, rockin', reggae, world beat dance party.

Tickets are on sale at Whole Foods outlets in Austin, Dallas, Houston and
San Antonio, and in Austin at Sound Exchange and Music Mania. Tickets may
also be purchased by phone at (512) 264-1752. Advance weekend passes for
the three day festival are $80.  Also, there is a Special Student 3-day
weekend pass available for only $75 which can only be purchased through
Sound Exchange with a valid and current Student ID. Camping inside the
venue or at Camp Chautauqua can be purchased at (512) 264-1752.  Tickets
for individual show days are $30 each, or $35 at the door. No service
charges or taxes apply, unless tickets are ordered by phone. Kids under
12 are free with an adult and will be treated to a special children's
program.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see and hear "The Godfathers"
of Soul, Reggae and Funk all in one weekend as well as taking an action
to contribute to the education of the future caretakers of the one 
world
in  which we all live.
