A Julia Gagnon concert is set for 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 11, at Waterville Opera House, 1 Common St., Waterville.

Originally from Cumberland, Gagnon gained national acclaim after placing in the top seven performers of the 22nd season of “American Idol.” Gagnon is a student at the University of Southern Maine, and her singing journey started at a school talent show.

During her time with “American Idol,” Gagnon became a household name across the state, with Mainers rallying to support her in any way possible.

Following her success on the show, Gagnon announced a statewide tour last summer — also called the “Here in Maine” tour – and is working on writing and recording new music with her fiancé and musical partner, Nate Haven.

Tickets cost $31-$41.
