Don't be fooled by her cutesy moniker, penchant for eclectic covers or fondness for the ukelele — Colorado's Danielle Ate the Sandwich (née Anderson) writes wistful tunes about lost loves and missed connections, and she sings them in a nimble, knowing voice. That's how she gets you: Her goofy persona may whet your appetite or leave a bad taste in your mouth, but well-crafted compositions, like "Silver and Gold" and "Canada," will keep you coming back for more. Sample her wares on YouTube, where she's racked up millions of hits by putting her spin on everyone from Billie Holiday to Merle Haggard to The Cranberries (in full zombie makeup) to Miley Cyrus, or sink your teeth into Two Bedroom Apartment, her third CD. Yum.
