Mining Diamonds with John Badger & The NOTAR

Coming to The Hybrid Gallery on May 24th, 2025!

Mining Diamonds with John Badger & The NOTAR

Forged in the solitude of pandemic-era jam sessions, Mining Diamonds emerged from the creative depths of a small studio in Eugene’s Whitaker neighborhood. What began as an open-door improvisational experiment quickly crystallized into a powerhouse of sound—an electrifying fusion of psychedelic, funk, Americana, and hard rock.

Mining Diamonds doesn’t just play music; they unearth it, digging deep into grooves that shimmer with soulful swagger, cosmic jams, and raw rock energy. Their sound bends genres like light through a prism—one moment hypnotic and spacey, the next gritty and unrelenting.

Born from the need to connect in a disconnected world, the band developed an intuitive chemistry, transforming their isolated jam sessions into tight, high-energy performances that pulse with authenticity and fearless exploration. Mining Diamonds isn’t about polish—it’s about pressure, intensity, and the magic that happens when deep roots meet wild inspiration.
