I use a pretty simple setup.

I have my songs in MP3 format on a laptop. I also have an amp sim (Overloud TH-U) on the laptop as well as a program called Songbook. The songs in Songbook have the lyrics and chords as well as a pointer to the MP3 file. Simply press start on the song and then the MP3 (from within the song) then sing and play along.

I have Songbook setup to scroll through lyrics and chords in time with the audio file that way I know where I’m at. (I’m getting old and might lose my way).

I have an audio interface (Presonus 24C) between the laptop and a PA System and a Behringer FCB1010 MIDI Foot controller hooked into the laptop (to control stomp boxes and volume into TH-U).

I plug my guitar into the Audio Interface. All my volume levels are sorted as well as the level of the guitar to backing. I usually have the songs I want for the gig in a folder in Songbook so it is a simple matter of going from song to song.

So the gear: a laptop, PA, Audio Interface, the FCB1010, guitar (Telecaster) and microphone (Shure SM58) , the stands and cables. And these days a chair as I have difficulty standing for long periods. Some of the gear is fairly new (I gave away most of my gear thinking I had retired) but the guitar for example is over 50 years old.

All quite simple and seems to work fine for my needs.
