Who We Are
Challenge Accepted is anchored by two recording artists who have played arenas together alongside names like Imagine Dragons and The Wallflowers. We build the set live off the room instead of running a script — indie, alternative, rock, pop, soul, Top 40, vintage Motown.
We also book soloists, DJs, emcees, and variety performers, so one call covers the whole event.
Packages
The Quartet — our flagship. Four musicians, three 45-minute sets or two 60s. Built for holiday parties, galas, client events, and company picnics.
From $4,500
Add what the room needs. Horns, percussion, extra vocals, keys — priced per player, added to the flagship. Larger rooms and galas typically run six to eight pieces.
Cocktail Solo/Duo — receptions, networking hours, awards dinners. Low volume, conversation-friendly.
From $1,800
Full Production — band plus DJ, emcee, and variety performers across multiple rooms. One call covers the whole event.
Let's talk.
Every package includes professional sound, lighting, setup, and full event insurance. Travel outside the Philadelphia metro quoted separately.
Reviews
What planners, venues, and clients say
"We first met Challenge Accepted when they performed at an event at the Audubon Center. Typically, we don't see smaller bands for reception entertainment, but they performed at the level of a 12-piece. We were very impressed at their ability to get all the guests up and dancing — so much so that we asked them to play our Group Tasting six months later. Again, very impressed. They've been wonderful to work with and we hope to see them back soon."
Kate and Shannon — Jeffrey Miller Catering
"We work with Challenge Accepted for events of all kinds at Reading Terminal Market throughout the year. Their energy is contagious, they have a wide range of music, and they know exactly how to get a crowd engaged. From start to finish they keep the party alive. I'd highly recommend them for any event where you want guests entertained and on their feet."
Stevie Martin-Daley — All About Events
"Our team has partnered with Challenge Accepted on several occasions, and each event has been exceptional. Their performance is a true crowd favorite, and guests consistently rave about the talent, energy, and atmosphere they bring. An absolute delight to collaborate with, and a group we look forward to working with again."
Christine M. — Event Planner
"By far one of the best cover bands I have ever heard. Extremely talented, and best of all, amazing people. We just had them at our company picnic and everyone was raving about their performance. We cannot wait to have them at another event."
