“A timeless portrait of one of our greatest bands ever – The Allman Brothers Band. Centered around a rare and intimate interview with Gregg Allman, The Music of My Soul
tells the whole story of survival, loyalty, love, loss, family, genius,
perseverance and the one of the wildest rides in rock history.”
– CAMERON CROWE
“The new Gregg Allman doc is a tale of addiction and redemption.”
– ROLLING STONE
“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
“Longtime fans and even more casual ones will appreciate Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul, which probes some difficult areas of his life and work, offering a remarkably comprehensive overview in a relatively tight 90-minute window.
Ultimately, it also demonstrates many times over, why we still love
the music and the longevity it will continue to have with future generations.”
Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul, the highly acclaimed full-length feature documentary exploring the life and work of the late, great Gregg Allman, is set for over 40 one-night-only screenings in diverse venues across the United States, offering fans a unique opportunity to see the film on a big screen with a maximum fidelity sound system. The roadshow presentations will begin on September 1 in venues ranging in size from the 70-capacity Capricorn Sound Studios in Macon, GA, to the 4,500-capacity Fox Theater in Atlanta, GA.
The idea for the roadshow screenings came to fruition when lead film producer Michael Lehman told Northstar Artists agency owner Kevin Daly that he wanted this film to be seen by as many people as possible to honor his longtime friend and client, Gregg Allman. With that in mind, Lehman and Daly decided to offer the film to Performing Arts Centers, Rock Clubs, Casinos, outdoor venues, and Theaters of all sizes. They concluded that, due to the nature of the film, Allman Brothers Band fans and lovers of music will want to see this film on the big screen with a professional PA system in venues that, in many cases, had presented live performances from Allman, Dickey Betts, Jaimoe, or the Allman Brothers Band themselves.
They also decided to create opportunities for presenters to add film intros and post-show Q&A’swith Director James Keach and/or Lead Producer Michael Lehman, and/or appropriate musical guests among other ideas. With that in mind, Q&A sessions with Lehman are confirmed for several screenings, including in Aspen, CO; Tarrytown, NY; South Orange, NJ; and Mohegan Sun. James Keach will speak at the screening in San Francisco at the Presidio Theatre and both Lehman and Keach are slated to speak at the screening in Austin, TX at the ACL Live at the Moody Theater on October 20, 2026.
Additional screenings will be announced monthly and take place worldwide until December 8, 2027 (Allman’s 80th Birthday). $2 from tickets sold for all screenings of Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul will benefit the Gregg Allman Scholarship Funds or a local charitable organization dedicated to supporting live music.
For information regarding screenings, please contact Kevin Daly at kevin@nstarartists.com.
“It is incredibly rewarding to bring Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul to audiences around the country,” says Michael Lehman, Lead Film Producer and longtime manager of Gregg Allman. “Having the opportunity to share stories about making the film and my years managing Gregg will make the evening especially meaningful. I hope the attendees leave with an even deeper appreciation for Gregg’s extraordinary music, his remarkable life, and the legacy he continues to inspire.
“I truly believe Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul should be experienced more like a live concert than a traditional film. The music of Gregg and the Allman Brothers Band is the heartbeat of this experience and presenting it in a live venue transforms it into a shared event. It gives audiences the chance to gather with friends, enjoy a beverage, browse exclusive merchandise, and celebrate Gregg’s incredible legacy together as a community. That’s what makes these screenings so special — they’re not just watching a film, they’re participating in an unforgettable musical event.”

Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul had its domestic theatrical premiere earlier this year in 200 major market cinemas across America, presented by Subtext in association with Rolling Stone Films. Directed by GRAMMY® and Golden Globe Award-winning filmmaker James Keach, the full-length feature documentary offers a profound portrait of Gregg Allman, one of the most distinctive voices in American music and, as co-founder and frontman of the Allman Brothers Band, a groundbreaking architect of Southern rock. This visionary music documentary traces Allman’s turbulent, transcendent journey through profound personal tragedy and hard-won redemption – from a childhood ruptured by his father’s murder to the soulful emergence that gave birth to Southern rock and permanently reshaped American music. Told through archival recordings, candid interviews, and electric live performances, the film weaves an intimate portrait of Allman, honestly reflecting on the death of his brother and bandmate Duane, his battles with addiction, and the personal demons that shaped both his life and his blues-driven music. The documentary is anchored by rarely seen concert footage that captures the Allman Brothers Band at their creative peak, offering audiences an immersive, front-row view of one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most powerful live outfits.
Beyond the music, Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul explores what Gregg Allman and the Allman Brothers Band came to represent in American culture – an ethos rooted in artistic freedom, collaboration, and defiance of convention. It highlights how Gregg and the band rejected the racial divisions that defined much of the American South, grounding their sound in deep respect for Black musical traditions and collaboration with Black musicians at a time when integrated rock groups were rare. The documentary also examines Allman’s complicated relationship with fame, including his highly publicized marriage to Cher, and how life in the public eye collided with his restless pursuit of authenticity. Together, Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul affirms Gregg Allman not just as one of rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest and most influential artists, but as a lasting cultural force whose influence extended far beyond the stage.
Keach, whose previous credits include 2005’s Academy Award-winning Walk The Line and such acclaimed documentaries as 2014’s Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me, 2019’s David Crosby: Remember My Name, and the GRAMMY® Award-winning Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice, directed and produced Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul alongside producer and longtime Gregg Allman manager Michael Lehman and Alex Komisaruk of PCH Films, as well as Emmy-, Golden Globe-, and GRAMMY® Award-winning executive producers Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank (Music by John Williams, Faye, Laurel Canyon) of Amblin Documentaries, Douglas Banker of Five All in the Fifth, Michael Hughes and Greg C. Lake of DLP Media Group, Robert Stein, Alex Dale of Rolling Stone Films, and Brian Levy and Theodore Liouliakis of Subtext.
“Gregg’s story totally resonated with me,” says James Keach, “especially his relationship with his brother, Duane. I have a very close relationship with my brother, Stacy. We worked together for years on a lot of great projects – The Long Riders was formative for us as well as for the Carradine and Quaid brothers – and the thought of losing my brother at such a young age really got me.
“Not everyone works this way, but I believe that understanding trauma from the formative years of a person’s life is central when telling their story in a documentary. A lot of incredible artists have these shattering experiences in their past that inform every aspect of their lives and talent. Gregg had those demons inside his amazingly creative brain. He dove deep into his addiction when Duane died, but later in life, when he was sober, he faced his own mortality with dignity and acceptance. It’s personally important to me to carry Gregg’s message of trying to change the trajectory of people consumed by addiction. You can hear the ache in his voice in his brilliant music.”
“I was Gregg’s friend,” says Michael Lehman. “This movie is personal to me because I want the world to know the Gregg behind the music.
“Gregg was impacted by, among other things, his profoundly close relationship and the tragic loss of his brother Duane. His music reflects the joy and the pain of his life experiences. I chose James Keach to direct this film because James is both an incredibly talented director and has a close relationship with his own brother, Stacy. I knew from the start that he would bring to life Gregg’s story, including the relationship with Duane and with his band, The Allman Brothers Band, and that James would be able to create both an enjoyable and deeply memorable film.”
“Gregg Allman’s music is woven into the fabric of American culture, and this film captures both the artistry and the humanity behind the legend,” said Brian Levy of Subtext. “We’re proud to bring the film to American audiences, offering devoted fans rare insight and archival material while introducing Gregg’s legacy to a new generation.”

ABOUT GREGG ALLMAN:
Born December 8, 1947, in Nashville, TN, Gregg Allman was undoubtedly among rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest and most significant artists, his soul-fired and utterly distinctive voice still one of the defining sounds in all of American music. From his founding role in the one and only Allman Brothers Band to his long and storied solo career, Allman consistently proved himself to be an iconic singer/songwriter and exceptional practitioner of the American blues tradition. The award-winning author of such modern standards as “Midnight Rider,” “It’s Not My Cross To Bear,” “Dreams,” and “Whipping Post,” Allman accrued a remarkable list of honors over his five-decade musical journey, including the Allman Brothers Band’s 1995 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award at the 54th Annual GRAMMY® Awards. Allman detailed his brilliant career in 2012’s critically acclaimed, New York Times best-selling memoir, My Cross To Bear, chronicling a truly astonishing life burdened by unimaginable loss, alcohol and drug addiction, told with clear-eyed wisdom and sharp hindsight.
Gregg Allman died due to complications from liver cancer at his home in Savannah, GA on May 17, 2017, leaving behind a remarkable creative legacy that will undoubtedly live on for generations to come. Beyond dozens of studio and live recordings, Allman passed on the opportunity of music to others via three ongoing scholarship funds: The Gregg Allman Scholarship Fund at the University of Georgia, the Allman/Lehman Endowed Scholarship at Syracuse University, and the Gregg Allman Scholarship at Belmont University in Nashville, TN.
