The story of Gregg Allman is one of the most triumphant and tragic in rock history, comprising the rise of the Allman Brothers Band he co-founded with his older brother Duane in the still-divided South of the 1960s; the deaths of Duane and bassist Berry Oakley, both just 24; the band’s multiplatinum success before a breakup; Gregg’s marriage to Cher; his years of substance abuse; and ultimately his recovery and return to the top of the music world.
“Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul” is the definitive documentary on the late singer-songwriter and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, with a theatrical release taking place on June 17, including one-week engagements in Los Angeles and New York as well as one-night exclusive screenings at 200 theaters across the country. Tickets are on sale now, head here for information and more.
Directed by Grammy and Golden Globe Award-winning filmmaker James Keach, the documentary includes extensive interviews with Allman and many of the people closest to him, as well as dazzling archival concert and interview footage from across his entire career.
Two premiere events will take place ahead of the film’s theatrical release, both of which are sold out. The first, on June 9 at New York City’s Gramercy Theatre, will feature a special acoustic performance by Devon Allman and Duane Betts. The second will be held on June 11 at the Grand Opera House in Macon, GA, and will include a special appearance by Chuck Leavell. Both events will include a screening of the film along with a Q&A with members of the filmmaking team.
