Neutral Milk Hotel frontman Jeff Mangum, who only recently started touring after years as a recluse, has confirmed a round of 2013 shows. The run will kick off January 9 in Buffalo, NY and wrap up February 16 in North Adams, MA. Support will include Tall Firs, Briars of North America and the Music Tapes. A portion of the proceeds for these shows will benefit Children of the Blue Sky, which aims to place orphaned Mongolian children with foster families.

From January 9-15, Tall Firs will be main support and Briars of North America will be first of the three acts. Then, from
January 16 – February 6, Tall Firs will be main support, and
from February 8016 The Music Tapes will be main support while Tall Firs will be first of three (expect on February 14 at Hamilton College, where the only support will be Tall Firs).
