Telluride is a Birmingham-based rock band founded in 1977 and has included musicians Kevin Derryberry and Rick Carter. The band was in heavy rotation in the Southeastern US during the late 70s and early 80s. They performed at City Stages. They were invited to perform at two Alabama gubernatorial inaugurations, and have been named musical achievers by the Alabama Music Hall of Fame, a precursor to being inducted into the hall.
Carter, as a co-founder of the group, holds the federal copyright on the name "Telluride". In 2010 it was announced that he was in a legal battle over the name with the record label of a Nashville-based country band which has scored success on the country charts.
