Remembering Hank Karr

Legendary Yukon musician passed over the weekend

The Yukon was a lot different when Hank Karr moved here in the 1960s, and over his many years in the territory he left his mark.

He was a musician, and he came North looking for a home, musical and otherwise.

Karr found a vibrant community in Whitehorse, and over the years played thousands of shows in all kinds of bands. He also supported a lot of emerging musicians and helped them build their own careers.

I spoke with Hank’s son about his legacy.
