Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul

Sunday, Oct. 11 | 7:00pm ET (6:00pm CT)

Film

Tracing Gregg Allman's journey from a childhood scarred by his father's murder to the heart of a generation-defining sound with the Allman Brothers Band, this tender film uses electrifying performances and archival recordings to reveal how his music, his headline-making marriage to Cher, and his restless pursuit of authenticity affirmed him not just as a rock legend, but as a lasting cultural force.

TICKETS ARE LIMITED!


This visionary music documentary traces the turbulent, transcendent life of Gregg Allman — from a childhood ruptured by his father’s murder to the soulful emergence that reshaped American music. Through archival recordings, candid interviews, and electric performances, the film follows Gregg’s musical awakening amid the blues he worshipped, the creation of the Allman Brothers Band with his brother, Duane that would birth Southern Rock, and the grief that followed Duane’s fatal motorcycle crash.

The Music of My Soul explores Gregg’s lifelong battle with addiction, his seven marriages (including his high-profile union with Cher), and the late-life sobriety that allowed him to reckon with his past. The film examines not just the artist’s private wounds but the wider American psyche — race, loss, longing, and reinvention — during Gregg’s lifetime. Musicians, friends, and family illuminate how an integrated band in the segregated South challenged boundaries while forging a sound that was both raw and redemptive.

Anchored by Gregg’s gritty, emotive vocals, the Band’s brotherhood, and never-before-seen interviews, the documentary offers a profound portrait of Gregg Allman: a luminous figure whose life and songs mirror his struggles and salvation.
