Lynn Moe was raised along the coast just south of San Francisco, and lived there for most of his working life. He is now retired, living in Reno, Nevada and spends most of his time with his family. Lynn devotes his spare time to self producing songs that he has written over the years under the name Cluster of Three.
"Early on when I wrote these songs, they gained very little traction or appreciation for what I was doing musically. I persisted for a time, but inevitably life happened and the music took a backseat to the struggles of the day. With those struggles now in the rear view mirror, these songs began to grow louder in my head. As I got into self-production, I found myself caring far less about how
others would react to my music. I think that was necessary in order to move things forward." Lynn said as he reflected back on the musical journey that has led him to this point.
During the COVID lock down of 2020 Lynn discovered the world of online studio musicians. Through subsequent collaborations with musicians and engineers from around the world, he began producing songs that had resided on the back burner for so long. Lynn’s diverse musical interests have led him to create music influenced by Classic Rock, R&B, Funk and Blues, with lyrics heavily influenced by the likes of John Lennon and Pink Floyd. From a modest home studio, he has produced the debut album by Cluster of Three titled, ‘One Man’s Weeds Another Man’s Garden’, which is tentatively scheduled to be released later in 2024. Fans can listen to and download the full album on the Cluster of Three Home Page.
Lynn gave some thought to the album's title, "While the songs on this album were written in a 'previous life, every now and then I'd sit down with my guitar and run through them, just to make sure they were not forgotten. While some might see these songs as 'weeds' that are not much to look at - to be discarded..., beauty remains in the eye of the beholder, and some weeds can be quite beautiful to look at. I consider these songs to be my garden of weeds...worthy of being tended to."
Each album track uniquely summons up the influences of the many artists and genre's of music that Lynn has grown to appreciate. over the years. "I was basically coming in blind to the whole process of music production and working with other musicians." he said. "But I embraced the project and discovered something new at every turn...where every song took on a life of it's own. I was blessed to discover a world of talented people who were willing to put in the creative sweat needed to elevate each song well beyond the paltry demos that I was able to produce on my own. I consider myself to be very fortunate to be alive during this time...this whole thing would not have been possible back in the day." Lynn concluded.
​
On the horizon for Lynn once the 'One Man's Weed Another Man's Garden' project is complete, is to begin work on a second Cluster of Three album tentatively titled Acid Rain Flashbacks. Among the tracks will be songs co-written with long time friend Danny Baggs, who gigged together as a two-man act in and around the South San Francisco area where they grew up.
​
Also in the queue is an EP with the working title New Harvest, which will feature all new material written by Lynn.

"I am under no illusion that there will ever be any interest in this late-in-life musical journey of mine. The thought is that if by chance, someone were to stumble upon my work - who arrived here with a modicum of interest or curiosity - there would at least be a place for me to share my music, and what went into creating it. It might turn out that it just drifts through the emptiness of cyber space unnoticed, or maybe, just maybe...it might find its way into the consciousness of someone who is just passing through. As Andy Dufresne said in The Shawshank Redemption, 'Remember. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.'” Lynn concluded.
