Hailing from Rome, The Blues Against Youth is a one-man band project led by Gianni TBAY who performs vocals, guitar, bass drum, hi-hat and whistle simultaneously. Country blues primitive he calls it.

TBAY’s sound, although being deeply rooted in the Outlaw Country and the Delta Blues, has developed over a ten years career, in different directions. All those trails have been hit, throughout countless tours that brought Gianni TBAY to play over 1,000 shows in the whole of Europe and part of the USA. This relentless live activity allowed him to build a solid fan base, gaining a name in the scene and a reputation as a rambling man, constantly travelling as a modern troubador driven by some kind of spiritual vocation and a daemonic possession.

“...Never has a native Italian played country blues this well, the bar had been raised and I will not be at all surprised if the name Gianni Tbay is a household name in the future, especially across the Atlantic where his type of bluegrass country blues will be lapped up.” MMH The Home Of Rock Radio UK
With a hollow-bodied electric six-string guitar, kick drum, voice, whistle, hi-hat, and an unusual piece of stomp percussion he calls his "invisible iron snare," he has developed his sound from a slower, more organic and traditional one to what it is now - raw, gritty blues coupled with dirty, primitive rock'n'roll and outsider country."
