Overview
- The documentary Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul opened in a limited nationwide engagement on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, screening in more than 200 theaters for a one-night event with extra showings in some markets.
- Filmmakers used previously unseen 2014 interview footage with Gregg and archival audio of his brother Duane to build a fuller portrait of his creative work and private life.
- The film confronts Allman’s decades-long struggles with drugs and alcohol and shows how a public low point at the Allman Brothers’ 1995 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction pushed him toward sobriety.
- Producer Michael Lehman, a longtime friend and manager, and director James Keach assemble interviews with bandmates and peers, including Chuck Leavell, Jaimoe, Warren Haynes and Jackson Browne, to balance musical appraisal with personal history.
- Savannah College of Art and Design announced the Gregg Allman Endowed Scholarship to support students in music and the creative industries, tying the film’s release to new local efforts to preserve his cultural legacy.
