TICKETS AND THEATER INFORMATION
“The story of Gregg Allman is one of the most triumphant and tragic in rock history... Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul is the definitive documentary on the late singer-songwriter and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member.” — Variety
Directed by James Keach, the visionary music documentary traces the turbulent, transcendent life of Gregg Allman—from a childhood ruptured by his father’s murder to the soulful emergence that reshaped American music.
Through archival recordings, candid interviews and electric performances, the film follows Gregg’s musical awakening amid the blues he worshipped, the creation of the Allman Brothers Band with his brother Duane that would help give birth to Southern rock, and the grief that followed Duane’s fatal motorcycle crash.
The Music of My Soul explores Gregg’s lifelong battle with addiction, his seven marriages—including his high-profile union with Cher—and the late-life sobriety that allowed him to reckon with his past.
The film examines not just the artist’s private wounds but the wider American psyche—race, loss, longing and reinvention—during Gregg’s lifetime. Musicians, friends and family illuminate how an integrated band in the segregated South challenged boundaries while forging a sound that was both raw and redemptive.
Anchored by Gregg’s gritty, emotive vocals, the band’s brotherhood and never-before-seen interviews, the documentary offers a profound portrait of Gregg Allman: a luminous figure whose life and songs mirrored his struggles and salvation.
