In July 1998 while touring with Lisa Loeb, he met an aspiring 15 year old musician. He gave her a bracelet (made by Jewel) and told her that when the bracelet broke, she would become famous. Six months later, she got a phone call from a family friend who was giving a music executive a tour of a time share. She was too young to drive and her parents weren't home, so she drove a golf cart over and gave her demo tape to the music exec in question, Jeff Rabhan. When she got home from her meeting with him, her bracelet broke. Two months later, Jeff Rabhan called her. He became her manager and she recorded an independent album called "Broken Bracelet." Shortly thereafter, Maverick offered Michelle Branch a record contract.
