The Central Maine Idol Top 20 Includes A Woman From Winterport

Remember, this how Julia Gagnon got started!

One of Maine's best singers could win a cool $10,000!

Last June, Julia Gagnon won Central Maine Idol, then began her incredible journey to American Idol, where she has rocketed into the Top 7. So dreams can come true, if you have the talent!

During her American Idol run, the Quarry Tap Room held several viewing parties to cheer her on.

This year, the field has been narrowed down to 20 contestants, after the general audtions, including a fantastic singer from Winterport.

Jennifer Nittolo, has been a singer in local bands for years, inlcuding Octavia, which has played at several different spots in the Baangor area and beyond.

Check out this video of her crushing a cover of "Barracuda" at Fort Knox, from a few years back. She has a poweful voice, and could go a long way in the competition.
