Ottawa’s Cooper Brothers are celebrating their 50th anniversary as a band with a concert at Meridian Centrepointe Theatre on Friday. Formed in 1974 by Dick and Brian Cooper with their late friend, Terry King, the country-rockers cranked out a handful of hits — including The Dream Never Dies, Show Some Emotion and I'll Know Her When I See Her — and toured with the likes of the Doobie Brothers and Charlie Daniels before their label folded and they broke up. They reunited in 2006, with some fresh voices joining the original brotherly duo, and continue to write regularly and perform occasionally. Joining them Friday is special guest Meredith Moon, a singer-songwriter whose father was Gordon Lightfoot. She plays an opening set at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at meridiancentrepointe.com.
