Paul Cullen

Inspired by Jazz Artists Pat Metheny and Weather Report and Bassist Jaco Pastorius, Cullen began playing bass at the age of 19. He worked diligently on his new found love, and his long hours of practice eventually paid off, as he spent ten years as a working musician, gigging across the country and playing every kind of music possible. In 1989, a chance meeting with AC/DC members Brian Johnson and Cliff Williams sparked a friendship – and a recommendation that Paul audition for their friends, who just happened to be the band Bad Company. Cullen was hired on the spot, and through the early 90's toured the world with Bad Company, playing in front of millions of people.

Unplugged and Uncorked, the innovative creation of former Bad Company Bassist, Paul Cullen, that artfully and seamlessly blends music, food, and wine. A perfect combination of Cullen's jazzy cool acoustic music, his private wine label, Sonata, and his Italian-inspired recipes (which are regularly featured in Coastal Style magazine, a publication for which Cullen serves as food editor).
