Danielle "Ate the Sandwich" Anderson is a solid young songwriter with a wicked sense of humor. Dubbed "Joni Mitchell meets Sarah Silverman," Danielle tours nationally, has licensed songs to various TV shows and significantly understands and works new media on a generational level. Denver's Westword described Danielle as, "cripplingly enchanting with lyrics telling the story of a generation coming of age in an age of uncertainty." And as the postings of 31,000 loyal subscribers to Danielle's You Tube channel attest, she has rapidly developed an active fanbase who feel Danielle has something to say about what it means to be young in 2011.
Danielle's third disc Two Bedroom Apartment reached #5 on itunes top selling singer/songwriter charts the week of its release. It continues in the strong songwriting tradition which propelled her Things People Do disc to the top of numerous 2009 year end "Best Of" lists. The brand new disc, now available on itunes, amazon and at danielleatethesandwich.net, features savvy production work and the tasty inclusion of just a few more instruments to compliment her ukulele, guitar and uncanny ethereal vocals.
