You Tubin’: Danielle Ate the Sandwich

Danielle Anderson is a cyberspace star. Without YouTube, Anderson would be drinking coffee. In a coffee shop. Awaiting her turn at the mic. Instead she is eating different sandwiches in different cities every day. In the three and a half years since her YouTube debut, Anderson has amassed three and a half million views. Shout outs are due to refrigerator friends. Earlier this summer, she parlayed that traffic into the number five slot on iTunes’ Singer/Songwriter chart. Two Bedroom Apartment, Anderson’s third album (but the first recorded outside her actual apartment), is a unique collection of ukulele tunes backed up–for the first time–by a full band. Some lyrics are sung from the perspective of convenience store wieners. Others are straight from the heart.
