JUL’IA, featuring Julia Gagnon, will perform Friday, July 18, at 7:30 p.m., at Camden Opera House, 29 Elm St. Maine’s own Gagnon placed in the Top 7 on “American Idol” season 22, and JUL’IA has just released a full-length album, Wildflowers.

Gagnon co-writes and performs with fellow Portland-area musician (and fiancé) Nate Haven; they will be joined in Camden with a small band. 

“I've often walked by the Opera House in the center of Camden and now I want to play there,” Gagnon said, adding she’ll be performing classic tunes, Broadway numbers, an original of two ... and maybe more. “I really cannot wait to tie in such a beautiful venue and attempt to do it some justice ... do I debut opera?” 

Tickets for the July 18 concert by JUL’IA are $25 in advance, $30 day-of-show via camdenoperahouse.com or by calling (207) 236-3154. Doors open 7 p.m. The show is sponsored by Camden Maine Stay Inn and 40 Paper. Camden Opera House is air-conditioned.
