All About Avery Dixon, the Saxophonist on ‘AGT’

During the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020, Avery decided to brave the outside world and play music for both of his quarantining grandmothers. CBS46 featured the lovely interactions in a news segment.

“I have such a loving family; I’m really blessed,” his maternal grandmother, Shelby Cross, said in the video.

“Music is like a foreign language when words just are’t enough,” Avery mentioned in another part of the segment. He added: “With the bad there’s also good; that’s kind of what the sax is for me, it’s my share of good.”
