The Casimir Effect was founded on a simple belief: That music can be both catchy AND artistic. It can be rich and complex, and still be accessible. The same song that can make a crowded room want to tap their feet and sing along can also satisfy the fans who demand more from their music than 4 chords and a poppy hook. The Casimir Effect will appeal both to serious musicians, who can appreciate the musicianship and bold, out-of-the box writing style, as well as to the everyday music-lover who enjoys a catchy, well-written song.

The Casimir Effect boasts progressive song forms that include elements of rock, hip-hop, pop and jazz. Expect to hear unexpected turns, dramatic key changes, shifts in style and odd time signatures juxtaposed against pop melodies, rich harmonies, catchy beats and infectious choruses. The result is food for your brain as well as your ears, and will have you bobbing your head and singing along. You’ll hear deep lyrics about love and loss and redemption, but more than anything about realizing your potential and pursuing your dreams, no matter who or what tells you you can’t. The stories are wholesome and uplifting but also passionate and raw, as is the dynamic energy at a live TCE show. More than anything the music is diverse, covering a wide range of styles and sonic textures. There’s something for everyone at a Casimir Effect performance- come on out and experience it for yourself!

Inspired by a wide array of musicians ranging from Robert Johnson to Ed Sheeran, Daniel Young has crafted an exceptional set of songs that speak directly to a generation of music fans disillusioned by the meaningless pop songs of the day, seeking something smarter, deeper, and more universally relatable. Though he is only 20, Daniel has already pushed himself to new places with his music. Starting out playing in small coffee shops he formed the band Terraplane. With Terraplane he worked his way from occasional minor gigs to a steady stream of shows and competitions. Due to demand Terraplane traveled to Oklahoma and recorded an album titled Shades of Love (2014). Now, stepping out as a solo artist for the first time, Daniel has taken all of the elements he learned while playing with Terraplane and created some of the most personal, reflective songs to hit a track in a while.
