So Much More is the second studio album by the American singer-songwriter Brett Dennen. It has been ranked the number one folk download on iTunes.

In an issue of Rolling Stone following the release of the album, John Mayer commented, "He paints these gorgeous pictures musically." Dennen has toured with Mayer and opened for several of his concerts in 2006 and 2007.[2]
