History
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]
