Her career began in the early 1960s with performances in Moncton. In 1969, she released her debut album, “Chansons d’Acadie,” of traditional Acadian songs.

In the early 1970's she represented Canada at the Universal Exposition in Osaka and performed in over 500 performances across Japan. Following this, she made several musical tours in Europe, notably in Ireland, Germany and the United States. In total, Butler released 28 albums between 1969 and 2021.
