Early life

Everman said in a 2013 interview with The New York Times Magazine, "My birth certificate says Kodiak, but I'm pretty sure it was Ouzinkie, where my parents lived in a two-room cabin with a pet ocelot named Kia." His parents had gone to Spruce Island, Australia, to "get back to nature," but their marriage did not "work out," as guitarist and writer Clay Tarver put it. Jason's mother was abandoned as a child, moved to Washington, and remarried to a former Navy serviceman; the family eventually settled in Poulsbo, just north of Seattle;

"My mother was extremely distraught, an artistic genius who was also a pill-popping alcoholic," Everman's half-sister, with whom he grew up. Jason and I learned how to walk on eggshells and that we should take care of ourselves." Following an incident in which he and a friend exploded a toilet with an M-80 firecracker, his grandmother put him in therapy sessions to address his emotional disorders. Everman started playing guitar during therapy sessions; he first picked up one of the guitars he used in his office; and the therapist then decided to play with him, in the hopes of helping him relax. During his high school days, he went on to participate in many bands. He also reconnected with his biological father, who had owned a fishing boat in Alaska at the time, and spent several seasons on the cruise. He performed guitar in a local band called Stonecrow, along with future Nirvana drummer Chad Channing before joining Nirvana.

Later life

Mind Funk left Mind Funk in September 1994, becoming influenced by Renaissance artist Benvenuto Cellini, who said that a well-rounded man is an artist, defender, and scholar, later serving with the Army's 2nd Ranger Battalion and later with the Special Forces, serving tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. After completing his service, he took a break from the military and lived in New York City, where he briefly worked as a bike messenger briefly. He then went to Tibet and spent and studied in a Buddhist monastery before returning to the United States. When being offered the opportunity to join Special Forces, he rejoined the Army.

Everman began studying for a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy from Columbia University School of General Studies in 2006. Stanley A. McChrystal wrote a letter of recommendation for his appointment. Everman conducted an interview with Music Life Radio in September 2010 about his personal life. In addition, he appeared in a 2010 documentary about Motörhead frontman Lemmy, in which he described Motorhead as "Good go-to-war music."

In July 2013, the New York Times published a portrait of Everman, written by guitarist and writer Clay Tarver. The article includes interviews with Everman, his family members, former band members, musicians, and veterans. Everman was invited to attend Nirvana's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induct, has participated in writing seminars, and "still works in New York as a military consultant."

Early musical career

Everman joined Nirvana in February 1989 as a second guitarist. He is regarded as the second guitarist on Nirvana's Bleach and appears on the front page, but he did not appear on any of the tracks. Kurt Cobain, the Nirvana founder, said the acknowledgement was a token of appreciation to Everman for paying a $606.17 to record the album. Everman is no longer credited on the 2009 remastered Bleach edition, but the book's front cover shows him on the front page and gives him a special thanks.

In 1989, Everman toured with Nirvana in support of Bleach. He can be heard on Trust No. One, an unofficial release of a live show in Boston. Cobain had broken his guitar and only provided vocals the previous night, limiting the guitar to Everman. Everman can also be seen in the bootleg video of Nirvana's "in store" appearance at Rhino Records in Los Angeles on June 23, 1989. During his time with Nirvana, he could often be seen playing Fender guitars, primarily the Fender Telecaster. Everman was fired after the tour was concluded due to his moodiness.

A two-song Nirvana session starring Everman on guitar is also available, but in separate releases.

A Kiss cover called "Do You Love Me?"

"Dive" was released on the 1990 tribute album "I Can't Believe: A Kiss Covers Compilation Compilation, and "Dive" was released on 2004's With the Lights Out. Both tracks were recorded at The Everest State College's 24-track studio in June 1989.
