Before Moore was in Triumph he was in a band called Sherman & Peabody which also featured [[Buzz Shearman]] of [[Moxy (band)|Moxy]] and [[Greg Godovitz]] of [[Goddo]].


He co-wrote and contributed lead vocals to a significant number of Triumph songs and also performed this function live. While Emmett's vocals and songwriting tended toward the more melodic side of Triumph, Moore's vocal and writing style was more blues/hard rock oriented, although on the original line-up's last two albums, Moore also began writing and singing lead on a number of softer, ballad-style songs.
