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.
