A full-length documentary film, Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul, will have its domestic theatrical release on June 17, 2026, including one-week engagements in Los Angeles and New York as well as one-night exclusive screenings across the country. Tickets are not yet available.

According to the press release, the film focusing on the late keyboardist/singer, from director James Keach, “explores the groundbreaking life and work of Allman Brothers Band co-founder and American music icon. Produced by Michael Lehman, the film will be released by Subtext in association with Rolling Stone Films.”

Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul, the announcement continues, “traces  Allman’s journey through profound personal tragedy and hard-won redemption, revealing how his raw honesty and blues-soaked power permanently reshaped American music. Told through never-before-seen interviews and rare performance archives, the film weaves an intimate portrait of Allman, candidly 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 music. The documentary is anchored by electrifying, rarely seen concert footage that captures the Allman Brothers at their creative peak, offering audiences an immersive, front-row view of one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most powerful live bands.”

The film “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, these threads position Gregg Allman not just as a one of rock ’n’ roll’s greatest and most influential artists, but as a lasting cultural force whose influence extended far beyond the stage.”

Two premiere events will take place ahead of the film’s theatrical release. 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, Georgia, 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.

Keach’s 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.
