Ruby McKinnon recently announced the February 2027 street date for Kill the Muse, the songwriter’s third Flower Face album to be released via Nettwerk Music Group. Yet in the midst of that excitement, McKinnon was in the middle of another career milestone: her band’s first-ever headlining tour of North America, which will soon give way to dates in Europe and the UK. While she debuts some of that material on the road, the rest of us have been treated to the new sounds via the orchestral swell of recent single “Better the Devil” and the simmering “Bad Dream.”

Before kicking off the international leg of the tour, McKinnon shared some backstage shots from her recent West Coast dates in the form of a brief tour diary. Check out those photos along with her captions below, and find tickets to the band’s recently announced 2027 headlining dates here. You can also pre-order Kill the Muse ahead of its February 5 release here.
