Indie label Kill Rock Stars is reporting that Jeff Hanson has died. From the KRS newsletter:

We are deeply shocked and saddened to report that Jeff Hanson passed away on June 5, 2009 in his home, a victim of a terrible accident. Jeff has been a part of the KRS family since 2003.

Jeff Hanson was an amazing artist, a riotously funny person, and a good friend. Everyone at Kill Rock Stars feels that we were privileged to put out his records. We will miss him tremendously. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

Here are some songs to remember him by:

Hiding Behind the Moon

This Time It Will (video)

Hanson's hometown paper is saying the singer-songwriter's death may have been caused by a fall. Read more here.
