James G. Everest was born and raised in St Paul, Minnesota, USA,
and is currently based in the Twin Cities area. He writes and
performs music, teaches guitar, dabbles in film/video, and curates
and hosts both the Making Music conversations series at the
University of Minnesota's Whole Music Club and the Capture! dance
film series at the Bryant Lake Bowl Theater.
Everest began playing guitar at age 14 and immediately formed a
rock band with childhood friend Bryan Olson (also on guitar) and
began writing and singing songs. Their first band together was
called The Risk (1986), which was followed by The Wild Eyed
(1987), The Sensational Joint Chiefs (1995), Fresh Squeez (1996),
Captain Blasted (1998), Lateduster (1999), and The Dijonettes
(2001). Everest had also separately formed bands Monkey Suit
(1989) with Wild Eyed drummer Craig Branham, and The Kathrines
(1990) with Branham and future LOW bassist Zak Sally. In 1991,
while studying abroad in London, England, Everest joined British
band Stitty Massingbird, featuring Joff Watkins, Jules Pais, and
Jon McCavish. In 2002, Andrew Broder left Lateduster to focus on
FOG and Bryan Olson moved to San Francisco. Everest then joined
the London, UK - based NEOTROPIC from 2002-2004. The experimental/
instrumental chamber music of both Lateduster and Neotropic
provided a broad canvas to explore the use of effects and looping
pedals to create rich textures and interwoven layers (as did his
extensive work with the Catalyst dance company, for which he began
composing original scores in 2002). In 2003, he began work on two
solo projects, one continuing with instrumental work (SANS LE
SYSTEME), the other as a loop-based singer-songwriter (JG
EVEREST). In 2004, he self-released his first singer-songwriter
record entitled Hush Money, and in 2007 released the follow up,
PARADE. In the meantime, he's continued to work with Catalyst,
becoming music director in 2005, and joining minneapolis bands
Vicious Vicious in 2005 (briefly reuniting with Lateduster &
Dijonettes bandmate Martin Dosh) and Mandrew in 2006. After
helping friends Roma Di Luna record their first CD, Everest joined
their backing band in 2007, along with producer Ben Durrant.
