A new documentary exploring the life and music of Southern rock pioneer Gregg Allman is coming to The Cutting Room in Manahtan. The film, titled “Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul,” will screen at The Cutting Room on September 15. The event is part of a nationwide roadshow bringing the movie to live music venues and performing arts centers.
Directed by James Keach, the full-length feature examines Allman’s role as the co-founder and frontman of the Allman Brothers Band. The documentary utilizes archival recordings, candid interviews, and rare concert footage to trace his musical career and personal history. It also covers his battles with addiction, his marriage to Cher, and the death of his brother and bandmate, Duane Allman.
The project highlights the band’s rejection of racial divisions in the American South and their collaboration with Black musicians. It addresses how the group grounded their sound in a respect for Black musical traditions during an era when integrated rock bands were uncommon. The narrative outlines how Allman’s musical approach influenced American rock.
The screening series runs through December 8, 2027, marking what would have been Allman’s 80th birthday. Producers organized the tour to present the documentary in rooms equipped with high-fidelity public address systems. Organizers specifically chose venues that traditionally host live performances to replicate the communal environment of a concert.
For every ticket sold during the roadshow, two dollars will be donated to charitable causes. The proceeds benefit the Gregg Allman Scholarship Funds or local organizations dedicated to supporting live music. The existing educational programs currently operate at the University of Georgia, Syracuse University, and Belmont University.
