Édith Butler (born Marie Nicole Butler, 27 July 1942) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and folklorist of Acadian descent. Édith Butler was born in Paquetville on the Acadian Peninsula in Gloucester County, New Brunswick. During the 1960s she obtained a Bachelor of Arts, taught school, and then earned a Master’s degree in literature and traditional ethnography at Laval University in 1969. 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. This was followed by national appearances on CBC Television's Singalong Jubilee where she gained popularity and began to receive invitations to participate in various Canadian and American folk festivals. 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. As of 2019 when she was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, Édith Butler had one gold and two platinum records. Butler also performed in a piece by Antonine Maillet entitled "Le tintamarre". Source: Article "Édith Butler" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.
