Danielle Ate The Sandwich

It would be slightly demeaning to call Danielle Ate the Sandwich simply adorable — but, truth be told, she is just that.
The Fort Collins-based singer/songwriter , known on her I.D. as Danielle Anderson, gives a new meaning to do-it-yourself marketing and simplified storytelling via short, witty, ukulele songs.
With over 40 originals and covers playing on youtube alone, this recent college graduate made the Monolith Must Hears list because of her ability to pen quirky, satirical parodies custom-made for the next Juno-esque romantic comedy. I mean, who else has the audacity to cover Hall and Oates’ “Rich Girl” on ukulele? Other covers include Snap’s “Rhythm is a Dancer” (go ahead, youtube it!). More than just a “Girl with Uke,” Danielle Ate the Sandwich has two discs full of tunes and enough youtube video to fill a feature film — and we suspect that a Sunday afternoon in her apartment could be one of the most entertaining days ever.
