Reel To Reel: Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul +

The Grammy Museum is thrilled to host a special screening of Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul and a post-screening discussion sharing insight behind the creative process of the documentary with Grammy and Golden Globe Award-winning Director James Keach in the Museum's intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater. ABOUT GREGG ALLMAN: THE MUSIC OF MY SOUL Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul had its domestic theatrical premiere earlier this year in 200 major market cinemas across America, presented by Subtext in association with Rolling Stone Films. Directed by Grammy® and Golden Globe Award-winning filmmaker James Keach, the full-length feature documentary offers a profound portrait of Gregg Allman, one of the most distinctive voices in American music and, as co-founder and frontman of the Allman Brothers Band, a groundbreaking architect of Southern rock. This visionary music documentary traces Allman’s turbulent, transcendent journey through profound personal tragedy and hard-won redemption – from a childhood ruptured by his father’s murder to the soulful emergence that gave birth to Southern rock and permanently reshaped American music. Told through archival recordings, candid interviews, and electric live performances, the film weaves an intimate portrait of Allman, honestly 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 blues-driven music. The documentary is anchored by rarely seen concert footage that captures the Allman Brothers Band at their creative peak, offering audiences an immersive, front-row view of one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most powerful live outfits. Beyond the music, Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul explores what Gregg Allman and the Allman Brothers Band came to represent in American culture – an ethos rooted in artistic freedom, collaboration, and defiance of convention. It 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, Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul affirms Gregg Allman not just as one of rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest and most influential artists, but as a lasting cultural force whose influence extended far beyond the stage. ABOUT GREGG ALLMAN Born December 8, 1947, in Nashville, TN, Gregg Allman was undoubtedly among rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest and most significant artists, his soul-fired and utterly distinctive voice still one of the defining sounds in all of American music. From his founding role in the one and only Allman Brothers Band to his long and storied solo career, Allman consistently proved himself to be an iconic singer/songwriter and exceptional practitioner of the American blues tradition. The award-winning author of such modern standards as “Midnight Rider,” “It’s Not My Cross To Bear,” “Dreams,” and “Whipping Post,” Allman accrued a remarkable list of honors over his five-decade musical journey, including the Allman Brothers Band’s 1995 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award at the 54th Annual GRAMMY® Awards. Allman detailed his brilliant career in 2012’s critically acclaimed, New York Times best-selling memoir, My Cross To Bear, chronicling a truly astonishing life burdened by unimaginable loss, alcohol and drug addiction, told with clear-eyed wisdom and sharp hindsight. Gregg Allman died due to complications from liver cancer at his home in Savannah, GA on May 17, 2017, leaving behind a remarkable creative legacy that will undoubtedly live on for generations to come. Beyond dozens of studio and live recordings, Allman passed on the opportunity of music to others via three ongoing scholarship funds: The Gregg Allman Scholarship Fund at the University of Georgia, the Allman/Lehman Endowed Scholarship at Syracuse University, and the Gregg Allman Scholarship at Belmont University in Nashville, TN.
