Like the music they're known for, the members of Railroad Earth have done a lot of improvising the past 15 years together as a band, according to mandolinist and bouzouki player John Skehan.

"We got swept up in this from the beginning, not knowing what we were in for and what was going to come out of it," Skehan said during a phone call from Denver. "We take things as they come up in whatever that's happening. It's a constant dance that has been parts taking the ride and catching our breath to come up with a new body of work."

Railroad Earth will return to Park City for a concert at the Eccles Center on Saturday, Feb. 20. The performance, the first time the band will be in Park City since playing with Bruce Hornsby in 2013, is presented by the Park City Institute.
