Help with equip to gig a digital piano

Hi all, I've searched relentlessly for this info...

I have a yamaha p60 that I'm looking to use for gigs instead of borrowing. I don't use keyboard effects - just the piano so I need a nice, rich piano sound in the amp.

Usually it's just me singing and playing, but every now and then I'm up there with other band members as well (drums, bass, guitar) so I need flexibility in volume / power.

Here's my issue: the p60 only has a 1/4" headphone output and MIDI out - there are no XLR outputs or L/R outputs...

I'm on a fairly tight budget so would want the most bang for my buck. Looking for any and all suggestions (including PA speaker with mixer, specific ones that would give a great piano sound along with vocals, and also potentially keyboard amps though they're huge, heavy, and expensive for what you get from them).

My biggest issue is the 1/4" headphone jack for output, and I can't stress enough that the piano needs to sound like a piano - not some tinny sound coming from it.

THANKS!
