History [ edit ]
Kyle and Gretta Miller met in 2008 while they were students at Northern Arizona University .[2] [6] [7] They began writing music and performing at a local nondenominational Christian church.[2] The couple married in 2012 and formed Tow'rs in 2014.[2] [3] [5] Keller and Riebe were recruited through mutual friends from NAU.[5]
In 2021 the band contributed a single, "Love Who You Love", to Serenade , an album they co-produced with other LGBTQ-affirming artists and Beloved Arise , an organization which aims to support religious LGBTQ youth.[8] [9] [10] [11] The single was inspired both by a drag show the Millers attended and a poem by Hafez about God being in drag.[8] [9]
The band's music initially used explicit references to Christianity in their lyrics, but they slowly moved away from explicit references in more recent works.[2] Some of the band's members are agnostic or atheist .[3] Gretta and Kyle have expressed discomfort with Christian nationalism , and have expressed support of LGBTQ rights .[2] [8]
