Dawn Sears, vocalist and member of Rounder Records’ four-time Grammy-nominated band The Time Jumpers, died December 11 at the age of 53.
Diagnosed with lung cancer in February 2012, Sears fought the disease ferociously and championed efforts for lung cancer research. In addition to having been a Time Jumper, she was also a long-time member of Vince Gill’s touring band.
She is survived by her husband, the fiddler and fellow Time Jumper Kenny Sears, and daughter Tess. Funeral arrangements are pending.
Our condolences go out to the Sears family and fan community.
