Glass Cow Captures Band Battle Title at First Night

After performing for a crowd of 200 New Years Eve celebrants, Warren Township teen band Glass Cow was crowned winner of the first-ever, First Night Morris Battle of the bands. 

“Voting was outstanding,” said Battle of the Bands event organizer Craig Schlosser, adding, “Each of the bands received more than 100 votes, and over 1,250 votes were received.” 

Before announcing the winners, Schlosser also emphasized that the contest was one whose goal was to give young musicians an opportunity for some exposure in the media and a chance to develop as artists.

Performing original and cover songs in their 45-minute set, Glass Cow debuted three new songs, (“36-Cents,” “When You Told Me,” and “Living in Fear”) at their first-ever New Year’s eve performance.  They also played classic covers from the Kinks, Jimi Hendrix, and the Who.

Glass Cow fans Brian Stickler, Ayrton Ven, and Dylan Kelly traveled to Morristown to see their hometown band.  “The show was great,” said Brian.

“The band has grown a lot, even from just a couple months ago,” added Dylan.

The band posted thanks to all who voted for them on their Facebook fan page, saying, “Thanks so much to everyone who voted for us or came out to see us! We really appreciate all the support and are looking forward to a great year!”

As winners, Glass Cow receives a $250 scholarship award from Greenberrys of Morristown, plus free music lessons and a recording session from The Original Music School (OMS) in Morristown.
