"The album will be a good digital calling card that Senft can use to gain entry into folk festivals this season."
"...one of those heartfelt, peaceful -sounding labours of love..."
- Winnipeg Free Press, Jan./09
The paper gave the new cd 4 stars and said the following:
“Darcia Senft has a sweet warmth to her voice you can just sink into. Sounding like a mixture of Allison Krauss’ innocence blended with the rich wisdom of Bonnie Raitt, Senft flows with ease over these 13 tracks, often accompanied by nothing more than James Hickerson’s crisp acoustic guitar. Briefly stepping out of the bluegrass songbird role, Senft grits it up as a world-weary blues-mama on the notable track “Broken Blues.” Her voice slides like honey over the sparse guitars, with heartbroken lyrics bemoaning a lost love. Overall, Storms in the Cellar plays like a series of lullabies. On the slow country track, “Move on By,” Senft croons, ‘just tell me your troubles, then move on by.” It’s difficult not to be comforted by Senft’s reassuring words.”

"This year's festival our audience was entertained with the truly
magnificent voice of a very talented songwriter, Darcia Senft. We were impressed."
Ron & Karen from Great Woods Music Festival, 2003

"On a likable sophomore album, Winnipeg singer-songwriter Senft switches to an old-time country mode that serves as a better accompaniment for her clear voice (tallgrassmusic.com)." - Winnipeg Free Press
"Saturday, Park Theatre, 8 p.m., Local workhorse of a guitarist (Hickerson) and thoughtful, honey-voiced singer-songwriter (Senft) make a perfect low-fi team. Their last two records (Take Time and Dirt Floor House) were as charming as acoustic folk gets; this weekend, the duo is releasing a third album, Storms in the Cellar, which promises to be every bit as lovely." - Winnipeg Free Press
