With more than 170 original recordings, Marier was one of the most prominent musicians of this time, who also continued his career during the Great Depression .

In the 1930s he became a member of the Quatuor du Saguenay , an ensemble devoted to folk music. Eventually he ended his career as a professional musician and devoted himself entirely to his work as a sales representative. He later performed with the choir of the Church of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and the organist Paul Doyon under the direction of Jean-Marie Magnan .
