Dana Gehrman received the 2025 Carol Lloyd Award at last week’s Queensland Music Awards ceremony.

“For my work to be recognised this way, and to have the opportunity to honour the legacy of a true QLD legend of rock and roll, a woman who has inspired my journey, is such a gift – I hope I can do Carol proud.”

The Carol Lloyd Award honours the contribution the late Carol Lloyd made to the Queensland music scene and awards financial support to an emerging female-identifying, singer-songwriter in Queensland to record a full-length album or record and tour an EP.
