A new documentary about Gregg Allman is headed to theaters later this month, promising a deeply personal look at one of rock music's most complicated and influential figures.
Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul, directed by James Keach, will open exclusively in theaters on June 17, 2026.
The 96-minute film traces Allman's journey from a childhood marked by tragedy to his rise as the voice behind the groundbreaking The Allman Brothers Band, whose blend of blues, rock and improvisational jams helped define Southern rock.
According to filmmakers, the documentary goes far beyond a traditional music biography. Using archival footage, previously unseen interviews and conversations with family members and fellow musicians, the film explores the personal struggles that shaped Allman's life and music.
Gregg Hated To Be Alone (1:12)Among those appearing in the documentary are his son, Devon Allman; daughter Galadrielle Allman; longtime keyboardist Chuck Leavell; founding band member Jaimoe; singer and former wife Cher; and singer-songwriter Jackson Browne.
The film examines pivotal moments in Allman's life, including the murder of his father when he was a child, the formation of the Allman Brothers Band alongside his brother, Duane Allman, and the devastating aftermath of Duane's death in a motorcycle accident in 1971. It also tackles Allman's decades-long struggle with addiction, his seven marriages and the sobriety he achieved later in life.
Keach, whose previous music documentaries include Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice and Glen Campbell… I'll Be Me, said he was initially unfamiliar with much of Allman's catalog. What ultimately drew him to the project, he explained, was the emotional core of the story—particularly the bond between Gregg and Duane.
The filmmaker has said he saw parallels between the Allman brothers' relationship and his own relationship with his brother, actor and producer Stacy Keach. That connection helped shape the documentary's focus on grief, family and resilience rather than simply chronicling musical achievements.
The project was initiated by longtime Allman manager Michael Lehman, who described the film as an effort to show audiences "the Gregg behind the music." Lehman said the documentary explores how both triumph and tragedy informed the songs that made Allman a rock icon.
Beyond the music, The Music of My Soul also examines larger themes that defined the era in which Allman lived, including race relations in the American South, addiction, loss and personal reinvention. The film highlights how the integrated lineup of the Allman Brothers Band challenged cultural norms while creating a sound that would influence generations of musicians.
Allman died in 2017 at the age of 69, but his voice and songwriting continue to resonate with fans around the world. With a mix of rare footage, intimate interviews and reflections from those who knew him best, Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul aims to offer a fuller portrait of the man behind classics like "Midnight Rider," "Melissa" and "Whipping Post."
The documentary opens in theaters nationwide on June 17.
